Acceptance by the Governor.
Governor A. J. Montague responded as follows:In consummation of the affection and energies of this Association, and in conformity to the statute of the Commonwealth, I accept this monument to Hunter Holmes McGuire with the confidence that it will be cherished as an evidence of his rich contribution to science, humanity and country; for the ‘counterfeit presentment,’ in whose shadow we now stand, will proclaim with duration and eloquence of bronze the memory of a patriot, soldier and scientist, whose life powerfully impressed his day and generation.
