William Taft actually said...

"I now dedicate this edifice to peace, good will and humanity."

"We do not unite officially under our Constitution Church and State."

"It is a most appropriate building for all these purposes, and will remain here as long as the other buildings put up by the government, to show the attachment and loyalty of the people of San Antonio ..."

"You will hardly believe me when I tell you that this ceremony and the burden that I am now trying to discharge came to me but to-day."
