HE mediaeval Latin term universitas was originally employed to denote any community or corporation regarded under its collective aspect. In the course of time, probably during the latter part of the fourteenth century, the term began to be used by itself with the exclusive meaning of a community of teachers and scholars whose corporate existence had been recognized and sanctioned by civil or ecclesiastical authority or by both. But we are now able to see the great a.dvance1nent of the universities, first, by the introduction of new subjects of study, second by the adoption of new methods of instruction, and third, the growing tendency towa.rd organ- ization which accompanied the development and consolidation ofthe European nationalities. In the United States education has received great extension, with- out however exercising in Europe that reflex induenee discernible in so many relations. Vile find there are four classes of colleges, first, those which proceed from the original historic colleges, second, those established in the name of the state, third, those avowed by ecclesiastical societies and fourth, those founded by private benefaetions. Among these four different kinds of institutions of learning every high school graduate should choose a course to pursue. VVe shall now glance at Indiana University, which is situated at Bloomington, Indiana, the county seat of' Monroe County. The first site of the University adjoined the city on the south and lay in Perry town- ship, the township granted by Congress in 1816 for Seminary purposes. But in 1833 a great fire destroyed the buildings and this was a turning

28 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL As a class that has been first in everything during our high school career, We have added another distinction to our list, that of being the first class to have the advantages of the new up-to-date, sanitary laboratory. Vile are proud of these improvements and thank the school oiiicials who have made this possible, for few schools of this size can boast of so fine an equipment. Each Chemistry student deposited fifty cents, and then was sup- plied with a key to a locker in which is kept the apparatus. As yet We have no broken articles against our account so We expect to receive our money back fwith interestj. Our Chemistry teacher, Mr. Zaugg, We thank for his patience with us through all our faults and failings. Our sincere hope is that all future science classes will have the advantage We have had and that this advantage may be improved and that they may have the pleasure of looking back to a year as profitably spent as has been the year 1910-11 to the students of the H.

30 HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL point in the history of the institution. It was then decided to remove the University to a more ample site, away from the noise and disturb- ance of the railroad which joined it on the west. They then purchased a tract known as Dunn's woods, east of the city, facing what is now Indiana Avenue on the west and Third street on the south. Including later purchases, the University grounds now have an ex- tent of about seventy acres of both rolling and level nature. It con- sists of a general athletic field, hockey grounds, tennis courts and the most beautiful and picturesque natural campus in the world. Adding to the beauty of this Campus we have the high stone structures placed about in a horse-shoe formation. The Library Build- ing, which was completed in 1908 occupies the site at the main entrance of the campus, then we have the Student Building, the home of student activities, then comes Maxwell Hall which is occupied by the adminis- trative offices and School of Law, Owens Hall is next, then Wyflie Hall which is used by the departments of Chemistry, Mathematics and Pa- thology. Kirkwood Hall is the next building to the south, then Science Hall, completed in 1902, and west of Science Hall we have the Biological Building, completed in the year 1910. Besides these buildings we have Kirkwood Observatory, Mitchell Hall, the Men's Gymnasium and east of this the power house. Though this is a brief description of the beauty and grandeur of Indiana University it ought to encourage every high school graduate to push forward and complete his education. Every mother and father ought to urge their boys and girls to become a college graduate, for they would then be better able to go out into the world and solve the worldly problems. Let us seek to make education in this land of ours stand out as a beacon light to all peoples and nations. Think of college life not as merely a drudgery but as work and pleasure combined and think of the noble accomplishments of the men preceding us and let us seek to do as well. Upon these grounds let us urge all Hobart Township High School graduates to continue their education in some university and they can rest assured that in after life the sweetest music to their ears will be the old college song of their Alma Mater, and they will be thrilled with the same spirit that fills every student of Indiana with rapture when he hears,-- Gloriana, Frangipana, E'er to her be true, She's the pride of Indiana, Hail to old I.
