Dedication of the Institute 201 



individuals will have full scope; where teams of scientists 

 can pool their resources for the advancement of knowledge. 

 It will give mature workers an opportunity for continuing 

 achievement, younger workers a chance to learn and de- 

 velop their skills. It will be mainly concerned with basic 

 investigations into the nature of microorganisms, as well 

 as with the many and varied applications of newly dis- 

 covered knowledge. It will be truly productive, in a world 

 too much threatened with destructive forces; productive of 

 understanding, enlightenment, and practical human wel- 

 fare. 



We therefore dedicate this building, and rededicate this 

 university, to the enduring values on which our civilization 

 rests: the search for knowledge and understanding, and 

 their humane use under the guidance of universally ap- 

 plicable ethical principles. We thus reaffirm our faith in 

 reason and good will and our hope for the future.
