“

Bishop Hurst laying the cornerstone of the building named in his honor. Hurst Hall in the winter I of 1951. On the site of this old fort a University will be built. . . . The ruins were those of Fort Gaines, a relic of the Civil War — the dreamed-of institution was our University. More than fifty years ago a Methodist Bishop, John Fletcher Hurst, was searching for a site on which to build. He had visions of buildings and a campus, but his dreams were more than this. He conceived of an institution in our Nation ' s Capital which would mold minds and char- acter alike — minds and character which would one day cast their in- fluence upon the life of the State. It is said that when Bishop Hurst first saw the ruins of Fort Gaines he exclaimed to his companion, We have found it! What had Bishop Hurst found? We are a young school, and there has not been time for the formulation of unbreakable traditions — of ivy-covered walls. Nor have we as yet reached the goals Bishop Hurst had in mind — goals set up according to his envisioned ideals. We do not, however, have to advance with these same ideals; but our concepts must equal the original in quality. When any growing institution such as The American University has attained one goal — another replaces it. But our goals should not consist of being as good or better than some other school ... we must strive to be better than we are.
