The Greek Letters are what distinguishes us from others. They offer to us respectability because the Greek Letters have preceded us whenever we have ventured. They have been included in subject classes of foreign schools, they have inspired non-Greeks to adopt Greek names and they have inundated many a foreign language with their linguistic technical rules to the extent that today the Greek language has become the language of the scientist and science and of academicians around the world.
Archbishop Iakovos January 28, 1961
