When Ward G. Biddle entered Indiana University, he began to acquire a devotion to the University which steadily increased until his death on May 28, 1946. As student, loyal alumnus of 1916, manager of the Bookstore, director of the Indiana Union, comptroller, and vice-president and treasurer, he came to know the University as no one ever has or no one ever will know it. This knowledge brought to him for counsel on Uni- versity matters, officials of the state, deans, faculty, staff, and students. The late Ward Biddle had more than a love for his University. He had a vision of its future — a vision of the institution to be in ten years, fifty years, and a hundred years. He knew that realization of that vision depended on a strong and firm foundation of fiscal manage- ment. His handling of the University ' s finances not only gave the institution the utmost in stability but became the model for state schools throughout the country. The campus today has many monuments to the vision of Mr. Biddle. They exist in buildings designed and constructed under his supervision, buildings such as BOsiness and Economics, Swain, Medical, University School, Auditorium, and the more recent halls of residence. The Auditorium was his pride. Into its planning and construction he put his heart and even a por- tion of his soul. His realized ambition was to have for his University the most beautiful and most adequate college auditorium in America. His vision of a greater University also encompassed the use of the Auditorium. He founded the Auditorium Series, which brings to the campus the world ' s greatest artists. He induced the Metropolitan Opera to include the University on its annual tour. Truly, the Uni- versity ' s most beautiful building is his monument and might well be named the Biddle Audi- torium. Men come and men go and the world seldom marks for long their passing. Not so with Ward G. Biddle, whose spirit will prevail for years to come in the University he loved. To him therefore, we dedicate the 1947 ARBUTUS. 4 .v,.
