The president of the Academy (Dr. Sydney Young, F.R.S.) and the provost of trinity College, the Primate (Dr. d’Arcy) and other members of the Council, were unable to be present owing to absence abroad. The guests were conducted to the Moore Library, where the foreign visitors were presented to President Cosgrave who, owing to his absence in London, had not previously met them. They were then entertained to tea in the reading room , and then proceeded to the library, where some of the famous Irish Manuscripts possessed by the Academy were on view. Having examined these unique literary treasures they accompanied their hosts to the National Museum, where they were received by Mr J. J> Buckley, M.R.I.A., Acting Director, and inspected the Academy’s famous museum of Irish antiquities. We were informed that the exhibition of manuscripts and rare Irish books at the Academy will be open to the public each week-day except Saturdays, from 11.0 till 2.0. A fine collection of similar objects relating to Ireland has been arranged in the National Library, in Kildare street, and is open from 11.00 till 5.0 during the next fortnight.

    And this event at the RIA was part of the celebration of the first Tailteann Games. On the Persian Prince Mirza Riza Khan, the Irish Independent said:
    In recognition of the splendid work done by this eminent Persian in the cause of peace, many distinctions of a literary and philosophic nature have been conferred upon him. He was the first Persian delegate to the League of Nations, and wrote an ode addressed to the first conference in favour of peace held at The Hague. This ode was translated into fifteen languages. The Prince is at present residing at Monte Carlo, where he owns a beautiful villa. It has been arranged to put the Chief Secretary’s Lodge in the Phoenix Park at his disposal during his stay in Dublin.
