m llh rSS J, ..W ' ' y. If. f i;. r Preside,, of the Board of Trustees To have been a student at Indiana university at any time In its history has been a high privilege, but to be a student here now with its history and traditions of a hundred years as a common heritage is a far greater privilege. Indiana university has grown. It is an asset of the state, not a liability. It is giving not- able service through its various schools and departments in its hospitals and in special fields of social work, reaching into every county in the state. It is primarily an Indiana institution and is returning to the state much more than the state is putting into it. An enthusiastic and earnest student body, an interested and loyal alumni, unmistakable evidence of increasing public confide the work of the Universitv, rant the prediction that India to the people of the sta I ' ersity will give even more-important and tar-rcaching service than ever --|.

In 1924 Mrs. Teter was elected trustee of Indiana university, the first woman to hold this honor. To Mr. and Mrs. Teter were born two children — Mary Louise (now Mrs. Clyde W.

Mr. Teter was sales manager for the Showers Brothers Furniture Company, and for the last twenty-four years was secretary-treasurer of that organization. Mr. Teter had an unusual capacity for friendship. He was enthusiastic in all his undertakings and his activities were wide and varied. He was the first president of the Bloomington Chamber of Commerce, a charter member of the Rotary club, a member of the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity, the Masonic order and the First Methodist church. He was a loyal friend, an enthusiastic alumnus, and a de ' oted husband and father. It can be truthfully said of him that he met all the requirements of a good citizen in the widest and best meaning of that term.

■ Jm Wiiiiam Loa-e Brya?i Presldenl of Indiana ink-ersily The Mission of the University Scholars are willing to work with endless patience at every conceivable scientific task. The wonder is that the hard-headed twentieth century does NOT deride them but accepts them, pays for them, rejoices in them, and that for a very good reason. The reason is that these far away studies do not remain far away. They fall together, and often in simple ways. They answer for us questions as old and as deep as human curiosity. They sponge out our myths, and give us instead a view of things more wonderful than any myth, which stands fast in the daylight. They give us sight of the world, and of life, and of humanity, in process of creation, and they teach us how to see these always more deeply and more truly. — WiLi,iAM Lowe Bryan. iiri
