Nl r BOUT THE COVER It was a bright, fall day in the lowa of 1881, when five men halted their wagon teams at the end of a wooded road-and a search. Administrators of an Oskaloosa College, they were looking for a site for the new institution they hoped to establish in Des Moines. Traveling northwest from the capital, they arrived near what is presently the western edge of Dogtown. One of the group, a Colonel Carpenter, pleased, as were Jhis companions with the spot reached, adroitly climbed a nearby tree to set his bearings on the location. Officially dedicated in 1898 as the Chancellor's Elm, the tree still stands in front of Old Main, linking today with the man from Oskaloosa. Another, more entertaining story is connected wi a rock beneath the tree. Legend has it that a girl c be a girl, but not a Drake co-ed until kissed upon t special slab of granite. The best thing about traditions, however, is the cha for the creation of new ones. With the physical exp sion of the Drake campus, so too grows the fund of tangible customs, attitudes and feelings making up whole identity of Drake.
