Tine Badger The President Edward Asahel Birge President y HE FUTURE of the University of Wisconsin may be read in outline by all who £ j know her past. Throughout the life of Wisconsin as a State the University has been in every sense of the word a city set upon a hill that can not he hid. Since the close of the pioneer period of state life the people of Wisconsin have steadily increased their demands upon the Uni ersity and have as steadily enlarged her revenues to meet those demands. The coming years w ill bring with them a constantly growing load of duty and of responsibility, a load which her future strength will bear as easily as the labors of the present are performed. The reality of today is great beyond the limits of the faith which we possessed only a few years ago. So we look to the future, not indeed with an adequate faith but with a quiet assurance that the spirit which has risen to meet greater duties with full strength will continue to make the University a constantly richer source of guidance and inspiration to an e er Greater Wisconsin. s.
