TEN YEARS OF PROGRESS The Y. W. C. A. building was occupied only last year and it is fulfilling its purpose equally well for the young women. The University has been fortunate in having the cooperation of the churches of the state. Through their efforts Osborn Hall, the girls' home built by the Episcopal church, the Presbyterian House for girls, and numerous church buildings near the campus have been erected. The University always has stood for clean athletics. During the period of which we are writing, athletics, under the leadership of George Huff, strongly supported by the President, has established still more firmly its reputation for high standards in all lines of athletic sports. Nor has the high moral standard been confined to athletics, the petty graft that used to cast odium upon student publi- cations has been eliminated. Higher standards of student code of action have been established. The significance of this can not be overrated for while it is difficult to raise a student code of action once established the laws of the Medes and Per- sians are no more firmly fixed.
