HOME OF MARINUS G. SMITH In the fall of 1902, just before the Quarto-Centennial Celebration, Miss Bippon called on those subscribers now living in Boulder. One family that paid 95500, in the words of the Wife, C'couldn't raise live cents noun , tivo other subscribers are represented by widows who support themselves by ivasliingg others, who had to borrow in 187 5, now have money to lend 5 but, on the Whole, the impression grows, as We look up details, that the money for securing the University was raised at great personal sacrifice. So the Main Building rose as an index' of the ideals, and as a. partial measure of the sacrifice of those pioneers who I f, -, l sixteen years before had seen on this spot not a university campus, but hundreds of elk grazing in the evening sun. The crack of the Arapa- U 1 f 1' if it y hoe, s rifle gave place to the college bell sninnion- if ing the neiV generation to the victories of Peace. .A , .45 ,mgjd vf,4,vg,,.,,,, ,130 ,V ,gf ,M W., -5 kg Q ,wif dflgfif, jaygff My .. .

..-..-.nv -.., ..... ,,..',,,,, . ' -, ' '. . 'N Of THE ,QJUAR TO-CENTEZVNIAT. Celebrations, inaugurations, corner stones, have been quite the thing in academic circles during the past few years. Colleges and universities are hard up for money the country over. It has even been suggested that our college presidents should attend the national convention of dyed-in-the-wool beggars in a body! Instead of this drastic remedy, certain semi-evil things known as celebrations' have been resorted. to regardless of expense, somewhat on the principle that whatsoever you sow, that shall you also reap. An abundant crop of gold coins is devoutly hoped for as a result of celebrations ostensibly inaugurated for quite different reasons. To be sure, the other reasons are not ignored. The desire to perpetuate and enlarge the work begun by the pioneers is best expressed in the hope for more money, and the doubtful but rather ex- pedient ideal of a swollen enrollment will soonest be realized through superior equipment and closer specialization possible only through large 'noney en- dowments. The days of Mark Hopkins at one end of the log and a student at the other as constituting a college, even, are past. There is now a trinity, at least, of requirements, for making a university,--f'Brains, books, buildings. lt sounds well to put brains first and buildings last, but the discrimination, how- ever beguiling, is only specious. Neither brains, nor books, nor buildings may be omitted, nor one made subordinate to another. All three presuppose nroney in liberal allotments. The State universities of the country, on the whole, are meagerly equipped save in brains, and are, at the same time, pretty generally ailiieted with the nightmare delusion that they are centers of self-created light. In a larger sense, all institutions of so-called higher education happen at this particular stage of the world's advancement to be the foci of a process of enlightenment to which all humanity is continually contributing. The state university, cre- ated by and. representative of the people, is the most taught and the best taught of the people. lt is pm' cazcellczzcfe, today, the focus of tho higher enlightenment of the people. Nevertheless, this very strength is the weakness of the state universitv. The ideals ot the people, as a whole, judged by the history of state 27 g
