WILLIAM H. TAFT
William H. Taft sends a typed letter saying that a quote attributed
him is not correct.
Typed Letter Signed: "Wm H Taft" as Chief Justice, 1p,
8x10¼. Supreme Court, Washington, D.C., 1923 March 26. To Rev. Paul R.
Hickock, D.D., Second Presbyterian Church, Troy, N.Y. In full: "I have
yours of the 17th of March. I don't remember making the statement of which you
speak. I believe the Silliman Institute was an excellent institution and did
good work, but I can not think that I made so sweeping a reference to it as that
which you quote." Silliman Institute (now, Silliman University) was
founded on August 28, 1901, in Dumaguete City, Philippines. It was an
elementary school for boys founded by Protestant missionaries Dr. David
Sutherland Hibbard and Laura Crooks Hibbard under the Board of Foreign Missions
of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America. Operations
started through a gift donation from a businessman and a Christian
philanthropist of Cohoes, New York, Dr. Horace Brinsmade Silliman. William H.
Taft had been Governor-General of the Philippines from 1901-1904. Light
folds, slightly creased. Fine condition.
