Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Dedication of the Lane Medical Library, Leland Stanford Jr. University, San Franscisco, November 3, 1912 On November 3, 1912, the building intended to house the Lane Medical Library of Leland Stanford Jr. University, in connection with the Medical Department of the University, was formally dedicated at San Francisco. Addresses were given on that occasion by Mr. Timothy Hopkins, President of the Board of Trustees, by Dr. Emmet Rixford, Professor of Surgery, and by David Starr Jordan, President of the University. These addresses are included in this publication. Introduction President Hopkins presided and opened the meeting with the following words: We meet to dedicate this handsome library building to the cause of education and to humanity, and in behalf of the Board of Trustees of Stanford University, I welcome you. The Reverend Bradford Leavitt will open the exercises with prayer. After the prayer, President Hopkins introduced Dr. Rixford as follows: It is no severe strain upon the imagination to believe that, as time rolls on, the three great metropolitan cities of the United States will be Chicago, in its center, and New York and San Francisco upon its two seaboards. A city becomes a metropolis, in the broad acceptance of the term, at that stage in its development when, its commercial and financial resources being firmly established, it can turn attention to the Arts and Sciences and adorn itself with libraries, museums, art galleries, opera houses, and other evidences of the cultured side of life. Today, in opening this Medical library to the public, our city by the Golden Gate has met one more requirement for entrance into the metropolitan sisterhood, she is one step nearer the brilliant destiny awaiting her. The cities of the United States in which special buildings are devoted to medical libraries are few in number, and this building, in addition to marking an epoch in our metropolitan progress, has the distinction of being the first structure of a strictly non-utilitarian character (other than churches) to be completed in the rebuilding of our municipality.
