Herbert Hoover actually said...

"we were all grateful for the opportunity of manifesting our sincere appreciation of the spirit in which you came to us."

"The enlarged opportunities for the alleviation of human suffering that you and your staff will now utilize are due I understand to the indefatigable effort of Mrs. Henry Breckenridge."

"I ask you to transmit to her my greetings on this memorable occasion."

"YOU AND your board and associates as well as the Johns Hopkins University are to be congratulated on the dedication of the Wilmer Institute of Ophthalmology."
