President Roosevelt. the first chief
executive to visit this city, shared the
spotlight Wednesday with Rochesters
most famous citizens, the Mayo

mics honoring them.
Praising the two world-renowed
physicians, Drs. william j. and
Charles H. Mayo. operators Of the
Mayo clinic. for their medical serv-
ices, Mr.. Roosevelt added that their
true distinction is in the simple fact
that you have put mems sense Of
brotherhood and interdependence in
to setting and have given it new
meaning"

the streets as the president was driv-
en- to Soldiers Field, where the cere-
monies were held, and another
10000 damned the field. More than
q dozen were overcome by the heat.

chief executive participated in cere-
monies in which the American Le-
gion presented to the two physicians
citations voted at the last national
convention. honoring them for their
humanitarian accomplishments.

Edward A. Hayes, national COM
mander Of the Legion. presented the

in presenting plaque given by the
local Legion post.

father OF the brothers, and visit st.

Briefly cataloguing the advances.
he went on:
But despite the progress that you
have seen and that you have helped
to accomplish, the restless spirit of
science prompts you to see new vi

pointed out so often in your predic-

from medical science in the future,
progress is only at its beginning.

us that with patience and application
and skill and courage it IS possible
for human beings to control and i'm
prove conditions under which they
live and it has taught us how devo-
