| 説明 | On the occasion of the 85th anniversary of the gift of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. for the League of Nations Library, Ban ki-Moon, United Nations Secretary General, Michael Rockefeller, great-grandson of John D. Rockefeller, Jr. and representative of the Rockefeller family, and Betty E. King, U.S. Ambassador to the UN in Geneva participated in the inauguration of a new reading room for the League of Nations and United Nations Archives, the dedication of that room to the philanthropist, and the opening of an exhibition “For the Well-being of Mankind: Philanthropy and Multilateralism.” At the inauguration Secretary General Ban said, “At the time, Mr. Rockefeller said he made the gift based on the conviction that ‘peace must finally be built on the foundation of well-informed public opinion.’ This powerful statement rings true today. It is fitting that we are naming this room after him.” In her remarks, Ambassador King said, “We are here today to celebrate the 85th anniversary of the gift from John D. Rockefeller Jr. that created the UN library, to appropriately rename the reading room in his honor, to reflect on the generosity of the Rockefeller family and to accept another generous Rockefeller donation of a portrait of John D. Rockefeller Jr. ... There are of course now several large players in philanthropy in the United States and in other parts of the world, but the Rockefeller name will forever be associated with philanthropy because of the sheer size, scope, durability and impact of the family's generosity.”U.S. Mission Photo Eric Bridiers |
