As conTemporaries of The TwenTieTh cenTury, we are able To observe The impor- Tance of knowledge in The life of every man. Through The sTudy of hisTory we look back upon The developmenT of educaTion; we see man's humble beginnings and his amazingly rapid progress. WiTh each discovery and subsequenT developmenT, The super-sTrucTure of greaTer knowledge expands. The firsT fragmenTs of learning form The foundation for The growing edifice of educaTion. However, There is anoTher elemenT of educaTion which also requires building. While This elemenT is more Tangible Than knowledge, H is overlooked as we pursue The IaTTer, more absTracT elemenT. As wiTh educaTion we begin wiTh a foundaTion and we place on This foundaTion Those accumulaTive maTerials necessary for The com- pleTe sTrucTure. In The end we have a sTrucTure which sTands as a house of learning. In The process of learning, man has labored againsT cosTIy odds. He has over- come years of decadence, prejudice, and supersTiTion, while fighTing The mosT cosle opponenT of alleTime. In addiTion To These cosTs, man has been faced wiTh a mone- Tary barrier, which he has had To overcome in order To produce The Tools necessary for The progress of his mind. WhaTever The demand, man has always endured and conTinued To prog ress. JUST as knowledge sTems from ideas, we see The sTrucTure also fosTered by an idea. ThaT idea grew, was seT down, planned, and Then Transformed inTo realiTy. Now we see a building which sTands gray and empTy, iTs shadowed rooms waiTing for The sTudenT of The fuTure who shall soon walk iTs halls seeking The producTs of knowledge. This sTudenT may muITiply These producTs inTo new discoveries for The conTinued benefiT and progress of mankind. ,u'gmeT-T' HFTS: .237- ,,...,.,53- FF . ?gvia 3 s- .u, w , . . . . . , s- v . i4 .
