 PresiAent Roosevelt's Letter.
 The letter read:
 ''The White House, Washington April
 II. 1907
 My Dear sir:--I am no, able to be present myself with you, therefore let me. through you express my apprecia- tion of the great work done by the founding of the Carnegie Institute. Wealth is put to a noble use. when applied to purposes such as those the Carnegie Institute is 80 well designed to serve.
 Every such institute. every founda- tion designed to serve the educational uplifting of our people. represents just so much gain for American life; just so much credit for us collectively us n nation. The success of our republic is predicated upon the high individual efi1ciency of the average citizen; and the Carnegie Institute is one of those institutions which tends to bring about this high individual efficiency. Many things go to make up such efficiency There must be sound body; there must be physical hardihood and ad- dress in the use of trained nerve and muscle.
 There must also be high degree of trained intellectual development, a high degree of that intelligence which can only be obtained when there is both power to act on individual initia- tive and power to act in disciplined coordination with others. And finally there must be that training on the moral side which means the production in the average citizen of a high type of characteristic character which sturdily insist upon rights, andeno less whole heartedly and the fullest fash ion recognizes the fact that the per- formance of duty to others stands even ahead of the insistence upon one's own rights.
 Through you, extend my heartiest congratulations to Mir. Carnegie and wishes that he may have many happy returns of this day, together with the acknowledgment which all of us must make the public service he so signally renders when he founds institutions of this type.
 sincerely yours,
 Theodore Roosevelt"

 Mir. Carnegie's Remarks.
 He said in part:
 Mir. Carnegie said, in part:
 "E1aVan gfQndfnu handed over the institute to Pittsburg, then a bold experiment a combination of literary, art gallery, museum and hall of music, never, as far as I know, having been attempted before.
 The city was to maintain the li- brary, and, let me say in passing, most generously has she done so, including seven branches erected to meet the wants of her swelling population. congratulate her upon being among the foremost cities of the world in public library development--certain there is none superior"
 The speaker then took up the his- tory of the establishment of the H. brary system and the development of the institute idea, adding:
 Here it was that fortune came to me, and 1t is as Pittsbureer I have labored for Pittsburg. This institute Is built by a Ptttsburger, with Pitts burg money for Pittsburg. You all know the benefcent results which have followed"
 MT. Carnegie then directed his re- marks to each of the departments and complimented the directors for their work and success. -la.-..-..-. --.--
 Continuing, he said: -~----- ----
 Our ceremony of today embraces the technical schools. which are also in a sense to be formally opened These are part of the institute and no mean part
 T am told there are today 1890 stu dents-young men and young women and several thousand waiting admis- sion. In every department there ex- ists obvious proofs of intense earnest ness, great esprit du corps and a de- termination to profit by the advan- tages offered. Already there have been developed strong feelings and pride and love of the schools
 Thus, ladies and gentlemen, wher- ever we look around us, in every branch of the institute, we find sue cess written in large and unmistakable letters. The tree has borne good fruit abundantly year after year in the past and promises to continue doing so in- creasingly year after year, generation after generation to come the end of which no human can foretell.
 There is room for many things of the spirit in our city. Things material s and abundant
 There Is surely to arise from the wealth created here a body of men who will find in the distribution of their gains where they were made the gen. uine reward which surplus wealth can give, the knowledge that 1t Is certain in after years to elevate, refine and purify the lives Of those who succeed us. and that we have left one spot of
