Tio: WE, WHO ARE STUDENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, SOUTHERN BRANCH, IN THE LATER YEARS OF HER DEVELOPMENT ARE MINDFUL OF THE TRIALS AND SACRIFICES OF THOSE FOUNDERS AND INSTRUCTORS WHO, THROUGH THEIR EFFORTS, HAVE MADE OUR UNIVERSITY THE SPLENDID INSTITUTION IT IS TODAY. WE ARE MINDFUL OF THEIR STRUGGLE AGAINST AD- VERSE CONDITIONS TO FOSTER IN THE MINDS OF THE STUDENTS THAT SPIRIT OF PIONEERING SO DEEPLY INSTILLED IN OUR UNIVERSITY. THESE COURAGEOUS MEN, BY THEIR GENEROUS SUP- PORT HAVE GUIDED OUR POLICIES SINCE OUR HUMBLE BEGINNING THIRTY-SIX YEARS AGO. TO THESE MEN, WHO SAW IN THE LIGHT OF DESTINY THAT SOUTHERN IDAHO WOULD NOT FOREVER BE A DESERT AND THAT THEIR HOPES WOULD BE THE HOPES OF THOUSANDS OF IDAHO YOUTHS, WE DO RESPECTFULLY DEDICATE THIS BOOK.

EPLECTIOKS THIRTY-SIX YEARS AGO STUDENTS ENTERED THE NEWLY-FOUNDED ACADEMY OF IDAHO, A SINGLE BUILDING WHICH STOOD SOLITARY ON A BARREN FIELD. FOUR FACULTY MEMBERS AND SEVENTY STUDENTS BEGAN THAT FIRST ACADEMIC YEAR. IT WAS WHOOPS, MY DEARS, AND NOT THE BIG APPLE DAYS. IN THIS VOLUME WE CAN ONLY HOPE TO PORTRAY A SUGGESTION OF THE MANY MOODS, PHASES OF THE GLAMOUR AND SINCERE PURPOSE WHICH WERE PRESENT IN CHANGING THE ACADEMY OF IDAHO TO THE IDAHO TECHNICAL INSTITUTE, AND FINALLY TO THE UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO, SOUTHERN BRANCH. AS YOU LEAF THROUGH THESE PAGES, WE SINCERELY HOPE THAT YOU WILL CATCH A REFLECTION OF THE 1902 SPIRIT, AND THAT THIS WICKIUP WILL MIRROR MEMORIES OF HAPPY DAYS SPENT AT THE SOUTHERN BRANCH.
