T' 1 .l versity of Illinois, I am glad to have this oppor- tunity of extending greetings through the ILLIO to f the students of the University. gl.-4:1 if I When we speak of the University, we do not mean I the campus, beautiful as it is, nor the buildings, lpn' modern and old, nor the laboratories and libraries, if ii equipped for the best work, but of the students and ,s , . I, ,N ,sk , faculty who work together here in the processes of V 'ji f education. It is for this, that the youth may be edu- iff cated, that the State has built up the University and ' K will build it. Many have made sacrifices, of time, of .Nl money, and of labor, that you may come to the Uni- . versity, and I am sure that it is the will of the people lf of the State, as it is the purpose of the members of the Board who hold the University in trust, that here I x you may have the best facilities, the best instruction V 'ili RQ ii-Ml ll I I ,F that the State and the world can afford. In return, the ,full Board, representing the State of Illinois, expects you lvl If INF-'Q to grasp the opportunity while it is at hand, to im- lrffili prove the mental and spiritual equipment that is IQ:-I iii-in yours, and to educate yourselves. If you do this, the Board will feel that its labor is well rewarded. I 1 . f-i.,,z,-,ku 5 .y 4 Qfiifk' , , I f.

HE Spirit of Illinois! What is the spirit that animates campus life and activities? The University exists to make better men and women, physically, intellectually, and morally. I am sympathetic with extra-curricular activities, not because they are activities or a necessary adjunct of University life, but because of my belief that they contribute to the development of character through loyalty, cooperation, disci- pline, forbearance, sacrifice, honesty, integrity, and unsellish leadership. If they did not, there would be small reason for their existence. But after all, these are mere contributory factorsg the primary reason for the University's existence is to furnish university education for boys and girls of the State. So, while these other things are helpful, the principal thing for which you are here is to secure an education. Scholarship comes first when speaking of the spirit of Illinois! x I f -i g f f is - ' I , K rf' - is 1 , ., Page 21
