THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF LONDON
To the University of Virginia:
The Royal Society of London sends to the University of Virginia
its most cordial congratulations on the Hundredth Anniversary of its
Foundation.
Its long roll of alumni contains the names of many who have enriched
Natural Science and other branches of knowledge, of many who have advanced
the cause of learning, of many who have played a distinguished part
in affairs of State. Through these men the University of Virginia has contributed
to the intellectual heritage of the English-speaking race, and to the
civilization of the whole world. That the future of the University of Virginia
will be no less illustrious than its past is the sincere hope and confident belief
of the Royal Society of London.
