據外交家劉鍇說 康乃爾大學的師生很喜歡胡適
所以將匾 Above all nations is humanity 的 "manity"遮起來歡迎他

Goldwin Smith is credited with the quote "Above all nations is humanity," an inscription that was engraved in a stone bench he offered to Cornell in May 1871. The bench sits in front of Goldwin Smith Hall, named in his honor. This quote is the motto of the University of Hawaii and other institutions around the world (for example, the Cosmopolitan Club at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign[6]).

(Goldwin Smith (August 13, 1823 – June 7, 1910) was a British-Canadian historian and journalist.)

COLLECTION DESCRIPTION
This collection of materials was created to bring together and preserve the documentation that now exists on Hu Shih (Cornell University Class of 1914), in the Department of Manuscripts and University Archives of the Cornell University Library. Beginning with the original Hu Shih Collection (#41-5-219), we added his correspondence with Woodford Patterson (6-2-2168) and other friends from his Cornell years, and parts of the Deane W. Malott Papers (3-6-65), the Lincoln Patterson Scrapbooks (#37-6-334), the Cosmopolitan Club Records (#37-4-145), the Alumni Office Records (#41-2-877), and several other items collected individually over the years.
Newspaper clippings were photocopied before filming and articles judged easily accessible, such as those in Asia, were not filmed.
The appendices of The Bulletin of the Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica, vol. XXXIV, pt. 2; Taipei, Taiwan, Republic of China, 1963, "In Memory of the Late Dr. Hu Shih (1891-1962)" are bibliographies of Hu Shih's writings in Chinese and western languages and of his poetry and unpublished manuscripts in Chinese. They should be consulted for a complete listing of his work.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Messenger Lectures are a prestigious series of talks given by leading scholars and public figures at Cornell University. They were founded in 1924 by a gift from Hiram Messenger and are regarded as one of the most important of Cornell's extracurricular activities.[1][2]
There were initially "twelve lectures per year, delivered by the ablest non-resident lecturer or lecturers obtainable" but are now a series of either three or six lectures given by one nominee each semester.[2]
The purpose of the lectures are "to provide a course of lectures on the evolution of civilization, for the special purpose of raising the moral standards of our political, business and social life". The first series was delivered in 1925 by archeologist James Henry Breasted.[3]
They were initially known (or perhaps have a fuller title) as the Messenger Lectures on the Evolution of Civilization.[4]

Hiram Messenger

Dr. Hiram John Messenger Jr (July 6, 1855 - Dec. 15, 1913; B. Litt., Phd,[5]) was from Hartford, Connecticut[6] and graduated from Cornell in 1880.[7] He was a teacher of mathematics[8] Associate Professor of Mathematics at the University of the City of New York[9] and an actuary of the Traveler's Insurance Company. The gift he left to Cornell was part of $4000 mentioned in his will[10] and a portion of his estate goes to Cornell each year.[6] He was himself the youngest son of Hiram J. Messenger, a mercantile businessman and owner of banks.[11]

The lectures

See the list of Messenger Lectures at Cornell University for a complete list
There have been over 80 talks given since 1924, the most popularly famous of which is probably Richard Feynman's 7 lecture series in 1964, The Character of Physical Law, the videos of which were bought and made available to the public by Bill Gates in 2009.
A partial listing of some of the lecturers over the years is provided in Cornell's Messenger Lectures brochure as:
