Excerpt from Education in America: Mr. Choate's Inaugural Address, August 1st, 1903

In responding to the flattering invitation of the Vice-Chancellor to open this Course of Summer Lectures by an Inaugural Address, it was with no presumption on my part that I could say anything that would instruct the instructors, or educate the educators. He would be a vain man indeed who would dare to come to Oxford with any such idea as that. The only service that I can render is to open the way for those public spirited and self-denying teachers, who for the coming month will guide your studies by unfolding the rich stores of their ample learning.
