In opening the aiutncl meeting Colonel
Roosevelt sajd. la part, after expressing
bis thjjiks for th honor conferred in
making him president of the association:
"In th first place I come here with an
increased and hearty friendship and good
will tur other countries. I have visited
many nationa and the more I see of decent
people of other nationalities, th more I
realise the truth of Abraham Lincoln's
statement that there is a aeal of human
nature In mankind. A good man is a good
maa anyw here, and a scoundrel ought to
be made to pay th penalty of his
scoundrelism, whatever his birthplace or
his nationality. And yet with that feeling
there has come a constantly Increasing un
derstanding on my part of the fact that the
niaa who wivhe to be a good citizen of
the world must first and foremost b a
good citizen of his own nation.
'Let bom b sent to school and to a uni
versity la the Vnited States. If ha has a
chance to take a post graduate course else
where, according to his tastes and need
dictate, good, but let him nave the foun
dations laid her, where his citizenship
must be exercised.
"Let me also point out th fact that
you cannot be useful abroad unless you
hav abroad the respect that only comes
of your usefulness aa it has been proved
at home. No man ought to receive or will
receive respect abroad unless, as an Ameri
can, h has won his spurs ia American life
at bom. I trust I need not say I sneak
in no spirit of mere chauvinism. On the
contrary I speak, as I have said, from the
standpoint of one who sincerely admires
other nations, who admires them now even
more, who has a seose of grateful appre
ciation of what they have done for him.
but as a man who is more than ever con
vinced that to be useful to the world, that
it is r.rrt necessary to be tone of your bone.
and blood of your blood, a citizen of your
own country, feeling with your own coun
trymen, able to do your duty to the full
est extent ia dealing with the problems
that your fellow countrymen have to solve,

"It is important that this university
should turn out scholar a It ia mors im
portant that it should turn out men able
to do to the fullest extent, what is re
quired of them by th complex needs of
American citizenship, and remember, al
ways, that your power to show respect to
others will depend largely on yotxr own
self respect, la the days when America
mistrusted Itself America felt bound rather
loudly to assert itself ia the fac of for
eign nations.
"The greater America's confidence grows
in Itself the more America becomes strong
ariH able to hold its own ia th face of any
nation of the earth, the more ready Amer
ica will become to ;reat each and every
other nation in a spirit of the fullest cor
diality and friendship and the less apt It
will be to lake offense, not merely need
ieasly. but to take offense when there is
some small need, but not enough to war
rant losing one's temper.
