The bus reached the World War II Memorial Campanile and the delegation requested that the bus stop so that they could have a moment of silence for the war dead.

very beautiful and were impressed with the facilities of the University. He also said that the delegation felt that the possibilities that existed for education here were great.
After seeing the facilities of Lewis the delegation traveled to the Museum of art and the museum of natural history for two more stops.
