itintnriral Svkvtrh. TTAINING, in twenty years, to an annual enrollment of twelve hundred students Qexclusive of five or six hundred summer school studentsj, a faculty of seventy-five members, a plant worth three hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and having alumni occupying exalted positions among publicists, teachers, financiers and statesmen, is evidence of vigor worthy to arrest the attention of any observer. It would doubtless be rhetorical, but it would not be true, to state that the rapid growth is a matter of surprise to those in the University twenty years ago. The growth is in part the result of the faith and hope present in those earlier years. But for this confident spirit in both students and faculty, the first year would not have been completed. A three story frame building, The Students' Home, approaching completion, except the plumbing necessary to its heating, greeted the prospective student September 20, 1881. This L- 't 't ' t ' - W-s' M - M ' N-'+--4-M---M----S 'Q building was to serve as class-room and home to most of the CHANCELLOR CARPENTER - ' , ' students-few residences being near enough to furnish students lodging and those few not being opened to students. lt was a cold rainy fall and there was real danger that the student body might adjourn during the six weeks consumed by plumbers in putting the heating plant in condition for use. A big stove was temporarily set up in the main hall and the students' resident in the building warmed themselves as best they might and failed miserably in their attempts to study. A The University was located two miles from the postoffice and railroad stations and the horse cars - drawn by mules when it was not too muddy so that they were not drawn at all - came not half way out. At that time there was little pavement in Des Moines. and the last half mile of sidewalk leading to the University campus was a newly laid two board affair. In the preceding spring the whole neighborhood of the University was overgrown with young timber and underbrush. ln September the underbrush had been largely cleared away and roadways cut thru the timber. lt required stoutohearts to see in this the beginning of a great university. 13
