"To make provision for the growth, preservation and use of your famous collection of books was an object worthy of the generosity of the benefactors who have contributed the neces- sary means. A library such as this is both a power house and a testing-station of educational activities.
"It inspires and helps the work of specialists in every field of research, and it provides from generation to generation the standards of truth and sound learning by which the fresh products of science and scholar- ship are tried. It is a workshop of new knowledge and a store- house of seasoned wisdom.
"I congratulate the architect and all who have shared in con- structing and equipping this fine building on their achievement, and I declare this library open. in the confident bope that it will be a centre of light and guidance for the civilisation of mankind."
