Notes: 
February 9, 1961; at Cleary Auditorium; Eli Goldin (left), (winner of the 1958 Brotherhood Humanitarian Award), presented a plaque commemorating the opening of Assumption University Library to E. C. LeBel, the University President. LeBel was the recipient of the 1961 Brotherhood Humanitarian Award. The plaque was to be hung in the Library. It included an excerpt from the opening ceremonies speech by Sir Philip Morris: "You intend here to accept something which is, so far as I am aware, new and novel in the Commonwealth and, probably, in the world. But this is a very great thing to which you put your hands. You dare not fail, for if those who are combining in this enterprise cannot succeed in maintaining unity in diversity, there is little hope that other men, subject to much greater stress, can ever succeed in maintaining peace and tolerance in the great world outside. I hope, for more reasons than one, that there will be no risk of failure and no cause for stumbling from any quarter. Because, should it happen, the whole community of universities will share in the failure." (Windsor Star, 1961, Feb. 10, p. 3); Barney Gloster Studios, Commercial Photographers, Windsor, Ontario.
