President Roosevelt addresses a crowd at the laying of the cornerstone of the McKinley Memorial on the American University campus. Roosevelt believes it is appropriate that the university should be founded by Methodists who “furnished the pioneers in carving out of the west what is now the heart of the great American Republic,” and that they should build a college to teach the science of government in McKinley’s name.
