Since the removal from the old campus to the new, progress has come by leaps and bounds. Only those who leave the institution and return after the lapse of a few years fully realize the rapidity of the onward march. Maxwell, Kirkwood, Men ' s Gymnasium, Kirkwood Observatory, Science Hall and the new Power House ha ' e followed in quick succession. The Student Building is nearing completion and a one hundred thousand dollar stone library building will be begun this summer. The summer term, estab- lished in 1890, will have almost as many students enrolled this year as were here during the entire year ten years ago. The Scliool of Law alone, this year has more students than all the departments combined twenty years ago. There are only five universities in the United States that have more students in the Departments of Liberal Arts than does Indiana I ' niversity. This state ' s leading educational institution is preeminently the institution of the people. It can be said to its honor and glor - that it is worth and not wealth that determines class standing and positions in society here. There are always many men and women who are working their own way through the I ' ni- versity and experience shows that their recortls are good and that after they leave these halls the same energy and determination carries them forward to places of trust and honor. Indiana Ihiiversity is an insiitution for the people, a place where high and low, rich and poor meet on the same level and as long- as this is true it will continue to have an abiding place in the affections of the people of the state. Our Alma Mater is a concrete example of the conditions described by President William Lowe Bryan in his inaugural address when he said : What the people need and demaml is that their children shall have a chance — as good a chance as any other children in the world — to make the most of themselves, to rise in any and every occupation, including those occu]iations which require the most thorough training. W hat the people want is open jjatlis from cxcry corner of the State, through the schools, — — — f B t,i tiij; highest and best things which men can achieve. To make such paths, m make them open to the poorest and lead to tlie hi-ht-l is the mission of democrac).
