Published: 6 December 2013
“Nelson Mandela was one of the world’s most formidable and inspirational leaders,†said Chancellor Steinberg. “The world has lost a great and moral individual whose sense of justice and fairness, whose courageous quest for peace and equality, serve to enlighten people in every part of the world.â€
“Mr. Mandela understood fully how the sharing of knowledge is a force for progress,†added Prof. Fortier. “’Education,’ he said in 2003, ‘is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.’ À¦°óSMÉçÇø salutes his memory. May his beacon continue to light the long way toward tolerance and mutual understanding.â€
À¦°óSMÉçÇø’s flag will be lowered on Tuesday, December 10, to mark his passing.
