VIRGINIA

Greeting

On the occasion of the centennial celebration of the University of Virginia,
the Smithsonian Institution most heartily congratulates the University
on its hundred years of prosperity and usefulness, its long line of
achievements in broadening knowledge in the learned professions, and on its
rolls of teachers and students bearing so many names of men of eminence
whose lives have honored their university and their country.

The Smithsonian Institution, founded for the increase and diffusion of
knowledge among men, extends to the University of Virginia its well wishes
for an even greater usefulness in the field of learning during future centuries.
