The Minister of National Education of the time, in his speech made for the opening ceremony of Ege University mentioned that:
\"..A centre of science was born in this beatiful land. We believe in that our children sparkling from this centre would bring light to every tiny corner of our country as torches of science. I believe Ege University would not only be the fountain of inspiration for today\'s generation, it would be for the future generations as well. I wish success for the professors, scientists and the students of Ege University and I desire with all of my heart that Ege University would bring goodness to Aegeans, to our country and to humanity. \"
