"What then is the American, this new man? He is either an European, or the descendant of an European, hence that strange mixture of blood, which you will find in no other country. I could point out to you a family whose grandfather was an Englishman, whose wife was Dutch, whose son married a French woman, and whose present four sons have now four wives of different nations. He is an American, who leaving behind him all his ancient prejudices and manners, receives new ones from the new mode of life he has embraced, the new government he obeys, and the new rank he holds.
He becomes an American by being received in the broad lap of our great Alma Mater. Here individuals of all nations are melted into a new race of men, whose labours and posterity will one day cause great changes in the world."
“那么这个美国人，这个新人是什么？他要么是欧洲人，要么是欧洲人的后裔，所以才会有这种奇怪的血液混合物，你在其他国家是找不到的。我可以向你们指出一个家庭，他们的祖父是英国人，他们的妻子是荷兰人，他们的儿子娶了一个法国女人，他们现在的四个儿子有四个不同国家的妻子。他是一个美国人，抛弃了他所有古老的偏见和礼仪，接受了他所接受的新生活方式、他所服从的新政府以及他所拥有的新地位带来的新的偏见和礼仪。他成为一个美国人，是因为我们伟大的母校接纳了他。在这里，所有国家的个人都融入了一个新的人类种族，他们的劳动和后代有一天将给世界带来巨大的变化。”
