In her arms and at her feet are the books which represent the learning cre- ated and cherished by the University. At her feet is a dragon devouring the books. The dragon represents barbarism, the spirit which hates what is fine and loves what is base. The angels are helping as well as they can to save the books. The youth who bears the shield of Indiana University stands ready, we hope, to fight for Alma Mater against the dragon. [PAGE 24]

expression. The great numbers of alumni wrote in from all parts of the world, sending their contribution to swell the fund which was to erect this great memorial. When one views this expression, in which the class of 1926 had a great part, can one deny that ideals are existent among the men and women of Indiana University? October 25, 19££.

Physical obstacles intervened in seemingly endless order. Every impediment, however, aroused only determi- nation to go on with greater endeavor, until this year we have seen the greater part of the memorial completed and in use. It is a fitting time, therefore, for the spirit which has accomplished this visible proof of its existence to be appreciated and placed be- fore the students, alumni, and friends of Indiana University. Our beloved president, William Lowe Bryan, has said, Indiana University does not consist of stone buildings, but of the men and women which constitute the school. We cannot but feel the truth of this assertion, and at the same time to interpret it in the same light. Indiana ' s spirit is eternal! Long after the present buildings have crumbled away, and the great-grandchildren of the students o f today have passed into history, the spirit of Indiana will survive! It is so mighty that mere words cannot express it. Indiana ' s sons and daughters will march forth into the life of the state and nation and perpetuate the work which has been so nobly performed in the past.
