| Haile Selassie the First - January 5, 1961 |
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.
