The dedication of the Clements Library took place on Friday, June 15. Dr. J. F. Jameson, director of historical research at the Carnegie Institution of Washington, D.C., was the principal speaker. His topic was “The American Historian’s Raw Material.” Acceptance of the gift to the University was made by Regent Victor Gore of Benton Harbor on behalf of the board of regents. President Marion L. Burton declared it “the greatest day in the history of a great institution.” Jameson similarly called the donation “in some aspects the greatest gift ever given any university.”
