The founding of the Institut Pasteur — The inauguration, in 1888, of the institute built by international subscription
The success of the rabies vaccine had opened a subscription to which a mere postman contributed as well as the Tsar of Russia. Six hundred guests filled the library; Pasteur, too moved, had his son read his speech, and President Sadi Carnot told him his institute was an honour for France. Five services, five scientists, a single building where the founder lodged with his family. (Editorial synthesis)
