- p large buildings, most of tlieni liui these are the power houses which fi Besides the Uni- ' i ' li atteni]n to descrihu the beauty of the campus and buildings is In undertake an inipos d)le task. To those who know the campus and love It as every student does, words can add nothing. To those who have never ■-een the campus, have never watched the first faint green on beech and maple develop into the glory of June, have never seen the riot of color of October, words can give no conception of what the Campus is. It yuu haw seen it. ou know it; if you have not, we camidl tell you what it is. .Ml we can do i say to you: Come and see. The advance of Indiana Cni ersity has not been due to chance. I ' .verv step in its progress represents the earnest, careful thought of loving friends. C)nly a few weeks ago was laid the cornerstone of the court house that, had not the University ' s need been greater than the county ' s, would have lieen the pride of Monroe County for the last quarter of a century. . s the needs and problems of the University have grown larger, the number of the faithful has increased. This year alone there go out from its halls well nigh two hundred and fifty sons and daughters of Indiana to join the ranks of those who since the first class stepped out have stood ever ready to uphold the wel- fare of their .Unia Mater. i

to meet the growing needs of the -University. Finall} ' , in 1883, provision was made for a permanent endowment fund to be raised b v the lev.y for thirteen years of tax of one-half cent on each hundred dollars worth of taxaljle prop- erty in the state. At the expiration of this time an act was passed lewmt; an annual tax, the proceeds to be divided among the three state educational institutions. The amount of this tax has been increased until now Indiana University receives the proceeds of an annual tax of one cent on each hundred dollars ' worth of taxable property in the state. For almost half a century from the time of its founding, and full twoscore years after receiving the name it now holds, the University was open only to men. By that time, however, it was old enough to realize the folly of pursuing such a course, and in ISO.S opened its donrs to the daughters as well as the sons of the state. Since then the University has been co-educa- tional in all its departments. In 1883 one of the buildings was destroyed by fire, after which the site of the University was changed to Dunn ' s woods. At that time the out- look was disheartening. Funds were low, and after the new campus was secured there was scarcely anything left. Realizing the critical need of tht University, Monroe County came loyally to the support of the state school, and applied to the building of Owen and Wylie Halls funds which were intended for the erection of a new court house. ith this start the future ni the University was assured. When David Starr Jordan became prcsi k-nt of the University in 1885 he adopted a policy, the carrying out of which put Indiana in the first rank of educational institutions in the country. Through the administrations of Presidents Coulter and Swain the work was carried on with greater and greater success. Since the inauguration of President Bryan in 1902 the cur- riculum has been so altered and enlarged that ever) student may receive colleg iate training that will prepare him to enter any of the professions and many of the arts and crafts. The courses given in the University, says President Bryan, are such as will prepare young men and women for any work that has a place in the complex life of the twentieth century. Educa- tion by the state should be as broad as the life of the people and shouM con- form to that life. During all this time the equipment has been advancing with the changes in curriculum, until now it is as efficient as any in the West, ' ith the completion this spring of the Library there will be on the campus nine
