Addresses from Sister Societies 225 



THE UNIVERSITY OF LUND 



TO 



The American Philosophical Society 

 Philadelphia. 



The University of Lund acknowledges the honour of 

 having received the invitation to partake in the cele- 

 bration of the Two Hundredth Anniversary of the 



birth of 



Benjamin Franklin. 



We are persuaded that congratulations will arrive 

 from all parts of the world and we are glad to join in 

 the expressions of the feelings of all mankind not for- 

 getting our special national pride of having founded a 

 civilizing work on the shores of Delaware — a work 

 afterwards continued with such glory and success by 

 Philadelphia, the town of William Penn and Benjamin 

 Franklin. 



With best regards and sympathy. 



Seved Ribbing, 



Rector. 

 Lund, March the 26th, 1906.
