T HE University of Arkansas has entered upon the second half century of its existence. In the first fifty years its achieve¬ ments have been of such a nature that students, alumni, faculty and friends may say, without undue exaltation, “Well done, thou good and faithful servant.” For in the broadest and truest sense the University is a servant,—a servant of the state and of its entire people. In the brief span of its life the University has trained for the state large numbers of educators, technicians, business men, and members of the professions. Its greatest achievements, however, may be said to be the training of thousands of young men and young women in the arts of good citizenship. The second fifty years will, in all human probability, show a greater change in the University in the point of equipment, buildings, and numbers of faculty, students, and alumni, than the first fifty years have shown. In the new period important fields of study will be added to the curricula. The University will develop far more as a res earch institution than it has in the past. There will be many more points of contact between the University and the people. It has been said that the first hundred years is the formative period in the life of a university; that afterwards the institution molds men rather than is itself molded. Many of the young men and young women who are now students here will doubtless live to join in the celebration of the hundredth anniversary of their Alma Mater. What they and their successors accomplish, both in their student days, and afterwards, will have no mean part in determining the place that the University of Arkansas is to hold in the realm of education, and in the estima¬ tion of men, for all time to come. — J. C. Futrall.
