1 re Tble nds tret .his am de- t in and as- an ble he ar o he ar he n. d A a. GOV. ALBERT B. CUMMIN- PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF REGENTS d I n le he. tie he Id- nat the is ole. vill his the at. rtly ork be ' a So- so te .tea an- the rs. ate re Ck be State University of Iowa. ' The established policy of this state coif centrates all its colleges of higher learn- ing, save those already mentioned. In the State university. It ia, and ought to be. a cherished object of devotion and ad- miration. I confess that while I have the deepest solicitude for the growth and betterment of our normal school and agri- cultural college, my affection lingers last and longest upon the State university. In an educational way it Is the monument which marks the position of the state in the world of culture, and around it there should cluster our choicest memories and our fondest hopes. In considering it we. should remember that it is easier to form character than it is to reform it. and that formative institutions precede in point of Importance reformative Institutions. Gov- ernment has no higher function than to prepare men and women to become good citizens. Generosity and liberality should distinguish the provisions made for the university, and Inasmuch as it Is the in- stitution Intended to represent our ap- preciation of education in its higher and specialized forms, it should be all that money can- create or genius devise. Iowa, Is not poor, and there is no extravagance In any provision which will enable th State university to do the most and the best work of which the university is cap- able. I have given some time to the in- vestigation of the subject so near my heart, and. I assert with confidence that there is no school in the union that ha made more progress, achieved better re- sults or done more work with the same means. The fact that it is a slate insti- tution precludes Its growth through pri- vate benevolence and philanthropy, and I trust that you will feel that the full re- sponsibility for its destiny lies with yon, In this day of eulogy and rejoicing re- specting the high position whlcn this state has worthily acquired, it is not gratify- ing to our people to remember that we are doing less for our university .than Michigan, Indiana. Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri and Nebraska are doing for theirs. We ought to march ia the very van of the procession of educa- tion, and it is humiliating to see Elites less able to keep the pace passing us la the ranks. We are ' not accustomed to look at the backs of our comrades in any march, and I trust that we may speedily take our proper position in the advancing column. The boys and girls of our state have a tight to the best opportunities of our civilization and we will fail of our duty to coming generations If we deny the right. The university should have build- ings which in the beauty of their archi- tecture, the permanency of their construc- tion atid the convenience of their mr- rangement are the best types of the class to which they belong. It should have a constant support that twill relieve its man- agement of apprehension and enable it to secure and retain the -most accomp- lished instructors and varied equipment, to the nd tnat It may gather into its roil of pupils the largest possible number of young men and young women and mar be fitted to give the moat efficient help In the development of the mind, the growth, of skill and the creation of character.
