220 Perspectives in Microbiology 



prove to be an invaluable asset, and to his guidance we all 

 look forward with the greatest confidence. 



In the name of the microbiologists of all nations, I 

 herewith offer to the new Institute of Microbiology our 

 very best wishes for its lasting prosperity. The institute 

 has been born of microbial antagonism. May it forever 

 be a symbol of human symbiosis, and may it flourish to 

 the benefit of our beloved science and of mankind as a 

 whole. 



Mr. President, I extend to you our warmest congratu- 

 lations on the scientifically highly important addition that 

 today is made to your already renowned university. 



In concluding, I may perhaps formulate one more wish. 

 It was your former President Livingston, who, inspired by 

 the motto of the University of Utrecht, Sol justitiae illustra 

 nos, chose as the motto of Rutgers University, Sol justitiae 

 et occidentem illustra. May the time not be far off when 

 the sun of righteousness will shine equally brightly upon 

 both Occident and Orient. But regardless of developments 

 elsewhere, may it forever illuminate Rutgers University.
