Excerpt from Present-Day Thoughts on the American Revolution: Phi Beta Kappa Oration, June 18th, 1919
But the healthy instinct of future generations will not be content with such a vapid interpretation of our past; it will demand the truth, no matter how little flattering it may prove to be; and the day will come - ln fact it is not far distant - when our history will be studied for its own sake and when the events of our Revolution will no longer be used to glorify ancestors, to justify racial claims to prominence in our struggle for independence, or, what is worse than all else, to increase the animosity toward Great Britain on the basis of events occurring a century and a half ago. Many of the current interpretations of our Revolutionary history are merely forms of propaganda designed for party advantage or founded on mistaken ideas of patriotic duty. And when all these are swept away and the events of these momentous years are studied for the truth that is in them then only will the profession of historian have come into its own in America.
