Villivakam, March 11: The above Reading Room was opened this morning at 8 a.m. in “Rama Vilas”, Villivakam. Mr. M. Kuppuswami Sastriar was voted to the chair. He dwelt at length on the benefits of a reading room and called upon Mr. K.V. Radhakrishna Sastri to say a few words.
Mr. K.V. Radhakrishna Sastri spoke as follows: “It has long been my ambition to open a Free Reading Room to perpetuate the memory of Mr. S. Kasturiranga Iyengar, the doyen of Indian journalism. Mr. Kasturiranga Iyengar was an eminent Indian journalist who rendered meritorious service to his country throughout his long and eventful career as the Editor of “The Hindu”. If Kasturiranga Iyengar had lived and served as he had done in Madras, in any other country, a statue would have been erected.
