LONE COUNTRY, as far as the eye could see hills, mountains, rivers, brooks buffalo deer fowl, trees and sagebrush. All manner of animal except man. Then came man. Like an endless cara van he wandered, rode and struggled in to this western space. Soon its appear ance changed. Here and there the landscape was dotted with shacks The earth was plowed and there were fences. Soon there were many shacks together. They were better built to withstand the elements. Seats on wheels were pedaled around on streets of stones and bricks Automobiles came. Tracks of steel were laid between these towns and fiery engines pulled trains furiously fast. The shacks were no longer small and wood- en. They were of stone and metal and brick. Their spires touched the clouds almost . . . The West today is the result of a great struggle for exist- ence, fought Valiantly by those who first came to these plains. Our fight for mental suprem- acy has been identical with this other fight for life. We started with small schools, few of them. Now colleges and universities are plentiful. Weathering polit1 cal upheavals, almost failing 1n years of great industrial strife, the colleges and universities have made a gallant effort to maintain their scho lastic and financial independence As a people, we are no longer living in the depths of uninformity. The purpose of this edition of the Quax, has been to liken our struggle for life and progress to our fight for education

IT IS NOT Wholly through ap- preciation of the gift of their classic home, Salisbury l-louse, nor wholly because of the great interest they have -W- shown in Drake Univer- sity for many years that We dedicate the 1935 vol- ume of the Drake Quax E MRS. CARL But rather, because E both Mr. and Mrs. Weeks so adequately reflect those fundamen- tal ideas and thoughts upon which this book has been built. lt is our intention that this dedication may convey some slight measure of the gratitude the University feels for their many philanthropical actions.
