Of this group of thirty men nearly every one became famous in later years, and I know of none more deserving of honor for dis- tinguished service to his profession than our be- loved Dean who, as Honorary Member of the American Institute of Architects and as Corre- sponding Member of the Royal Institute of British Architects, is the sole survivor of that distinguished group that founded the Institute in 1857 and whom we delight to honor today. It is but one of the things that mark the far sight...- edness and greatness of our first president, Andrew Dickson White, that so early he saw the need of academic training for the architect. His extended service and study abroad had brought him into inti- mate contact with the highest culture of the old world ; he had become deeply interested in architect- ure; and had collected without stint of time, labor, or money, what was at the time one of the best if not quite the best library in the country in the field of architecture. This splendid library he gave out- right to the University, and as showing his attitude toward the establishment of a course in architecture I can do no better than to quote his own words from a report to the Board of Trustees at the time.
