Excerpt from The Reopening of the Mexican and Central American Hall: February 25, 1944The Museum could have made much of this anniversary by recall ing to our members and the public generally the great men who have worked here for the past seventy-five years, the notable achievements in exploration in all parts of the world, the important scientific research with the discoveries and truths emanating therefrom, the important books of science, popular and erudite, written within these walls, the achievements in education, and the marvelous collections that have been brought together. The growth of the institution from its modest beginnings in the Central Park Arsenal to its position and eminence as a national and international institution could have been presented in terms of truly noteworthy and romantic achievement, a characteristic example of American free enterprise. All this must be left for some future birth year, when peace has come again.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
