Additional quotes by Carl Schurz
BY inviting me to address its faculty, its students, and its friends upon so distinguished an occasion, the University of Chicago has done me an honor for which I am profoundly grateful. I can prove that gratitude in no better way than by uttering with entire frankness my honest convictions on the great subject you have given me to discuss-a subject fraught with more momentous consequence than any ever submitted to the judgment of the American people since the foundation of our constitutional government.
