' Discovery Rcnc ' -Robcrt Cavalier, Sieur de la Salle, trod the shores of the Western Reserve for the first time in 1679- The leaping fires of high adventure coursing through the warm blood of these Latin voyageurs had led them on one of the most stu- pendous argosies in history in their small bateau of sixty tons burden, the Griffin . Could the French explorer have visioned as he stood look- ing at the virgin green of the forest everywhere fringing the cobalt of this inland sea, that some day one of the greatest cities of a mighty republic would there arise?

FOREWORD A SENSE of imminence is in the In ' eezes that sweep over the campus. There is an electrical something in the air that augurs change and mutation — the emergence from the old order of the chrysalis of the new. Reserve, with a century of mellowed years behind her, and a rich treasure- trove of reminiscence complementing her creditable record of achievement, stands expectant on the threshold of a new day. Trod hy the moccasin ol the Indian, the Pioneer, and the militaiy hoot of the Soldier-explorer; redolent of the high adventure of the frontier and imbued with the quick, surging love of Liberty, the Western Resei-ve has proved a fertile and colorful soil for the implanting of the ideals of free government, free speech, free press, and extensive education, guaranteed by the Act of 1787. Where once the clearing echoed to the axe of the woodsman, now stands a great city, whose teeming million feel in Reserve an interest scarce equalled by that expressed in other large community enter- prises for which the city is noted. It is with a peculiar significance then, that this book h as been built around an historical theme. The early life of the community offers many analogies to the present situation — the pioneering impulse has never waned. May the new century — the new epoch — be the golden era of Reserve ' s existence! May some idea of the vast scope of the undertaking flash into the ken of the component parts of the University and its well-wishers! Let us be helpful. Let us be practical. Let us be thoughtful of the problems concerned. Reserve expects every student and citizen to do his duty.
