Excerpt from The Graduate and the People: Commencement Address, Boston University, Tremont Temple, Boston, Wednesday, June 3rd, 1914

It is idle to speak of the stamp tax. The duty upon tea. An impost here. A restriction there. As being the cause of the American Revolution. These were but the tokens, the outward excrescences. Which could not hide the essential and fundamental - the determination to govern themselves. Inherent in all of the descent which the Patriots claimed. Kings they could abide, for who so loyal as they. So long as they could be loyal? An appointed Governor was not only tolerated but was even regarded with affection. Solong as he did not attemptto impose upon them the will of others; but that they should be in fact governed by themselves. Whatever the form. They were determined.
