RECEIVES “CARVER AWARD”
We are most appreciative of the high
tribute which has been paid to Us today in the awarding of the 1960 Gold Medal
Award by the George Washington Carver Memorial Institute, and We are honoured
to join the distinguished company of those who have received it. In accepting
this award, We do so not only on Our own behalf, but also on behalf of the
Ethiopian people, whose loyalty, devotion and support have assisted Us in the
labours which We have expended throughout Our lifetime on behalf of Our
beloved subjects and in pursuance of the high principles to which Our life has
been dedicated.
We extend Our deepest
thanks to the George Washington Carver Memorial Institute and to Mr. Robert
Hobday, its President, who has come to Our capital city Addis Ababa to make
this presentation to Us.
Jan. 5, 1961.
