The SPIRIT of INDIANA HUNDRED years ago a band of fearless woodsmen shouldered their long rifles and axe in hand hewed a way to the interior of Indiana. Pushing past the guarded outposts of the east they entered the shadow of the wilderness, and around a camplire ' s ashes built the homes that w re the beginning of the great State, Indiana. Bold in spirit, intense in purpose, dauntless in courage, these men of Indiana, with a far-seeing wisdom, laid the foundation stones of an Educational System that finds its finest flower in the State University. The spirit of the pioneer has descended upon his sons and daughters. It has led us to achievement in many lines. The intensity of purpose of the fathers has become the Spirit of Indiana that will not be downed, that, tho defeated } ' ear after year, will not be crushed. And her spirit is growing in strength and in beauty, and alread}- the dawn of the Greater Indiana, the Indiana that is to come, is lighting the heavens with its first ra} ' s. We Believe in Indiana.
