forget how often the shriek of the railroad locomotive broke into the sequence and harmony of our class recitations. A marsh, close at hand, sometimes bearing cresses, which we added to our noon meal, at other times putting forth the harsh nettle, with which we stung both hands and feet, was our only campus. Gymnasium we had none. But those days are hallowed days, to the students of that time, for they brought hours of exaltation to both mind and spirit. The faculty was consid- erably enlarged. This second decade brought forth two groups of students, dis- tinguishing themselves particularly in medicine and mathematics. A group of five or six, who have turned to medicine, will be remembered by the students of that day, for of that number are Dr. George Middleton, Dr. Samuel H. Allen, and Dr. E. G. Gowans l !!8f| A «««s»- On the list of those inclined towards mathematics we shall place the names of Dr. Richard R. Lyman, head of the department of Civil Engineering, at the University of Utah, Caleb Tanner, State engineer for many years, and Professor Earnest D. Partridge and Professor Joseph L. Home. There are some other persons of this period who must not be passed by. First on the list is State Supt. A. C. Nelson, and in quick succession follow the names of B. S. Hinkley, of the Deseret Gymnasium, Salt Lake, Edwin S. Hinkley. dean of our College, and Prof. A. C. Lund who had done so much to make the next decade famous for musical artists. Before we had reached the third decade our first principal headed the pro- cession which led us triumphantly to our new home, on North Academy Avenue, the present High School Building. We were very proud of our new home. Here Dr. Maeser resigned and Dr. Benjamin Cluff, Jr., was made president. President Cluff ' s term expired two and one-half years before the completion of the third decade, and since that time Dr. Geo. H. Brimhall has been president. The school increased and expanded on all sides. Not one building but a group of buildings soon graced the campus, made lovely by the presence of trees and flowers both rare and beautiful. Things unknown before now became part of the school life and activity. Lit- erary contests, athletic contests, curt and manual training, and agriculture exhibi- tions, dramatic performances, and the presentation of operas, very unusual for a school of our years and experience, all became part of the regular regime. Teachers, preachers, and business men are found again upon the roll of honor. Some of their names are household words where the story of the institution ' s growth is told, for they are of the number who have contributed most gener- ously for our material comfort. The names of Jos. R. Murdock, Wm. J. Knight, Raymond Knight, W. L. Mangrum, Eugene R. Allen, Inez K. Allen and Jennie B. Knight are suggestive of this last group. Another group of physicians are noted, as also a group of college professors, but this third decade is conspicuous in our history for the artists. The names of Mrs. Fay Loose Stiehl and David Reese are given merely to suggest the noted group of soloists who came before and after Mabel Borg. William Hansen, Asael Nelson, Ralph Booth and Clarence Hawkins are of another group efficient in in- strumental work. Orson Campbell, Calvin Fletcher, and Aretta Young must tell the stoi-y of our painters; while that of Annie Pike Greenwood. Susa Talmage and Elsie Carol Chamberlain must bring to mind those famous in song and story. The fourth decade is more than half gone. We have passed from the building on North Academy Avenue, where daily the fruiter ' s cart is heard, to the hill side. In a palace of white, with the majestic rockies behind us, God ' s blue sky above us, and His blue lake in front, we have planted our College. Its work has just begun. Its students are not yet thoroughly tested, but a throng behind are crying, See that you fail us in nothing. Yours the tiled and marble stair. Make his utterance false who declared, that this is an age of gold but net a golden age. 13
