Allen County Public Library 00 Webster Street Fpo Box 2270 Fport Wayne, IN 46801-2270 1 ' II E A R 1! L ' 1 I ' S T HE trailing Arbutus is a modest, spring flower which blossoms on the clay-covered hillsides of Monroe county. The blossoms, seldom large, are of a pink to red color with beautiful green leaves. One hill in particular, near Bloomington, is known for the abundance of Arbutus blossoms found there and de- rives its name from such. The Senior publication takes its title from this flower which appears shortly before the usual date of publication. This year ' s publication contains four hundred and thirty-two pages, requiring S.SOO pounds o( paper, 1,000 pounds of boards for backs, 3,000 square feet of cow hide and SO pounds of ink. It gives in verse, prose and pictures, a tiue relation of such events and occurences of note as have happened at Indiana University during the year Nineteen Hundred and Fourteen.

TAMES WHITCOMR RILEY, it has been oiven •J oii to know deeply the life of a people. It ha.s been given von to see the central trnth that the language and manners and faiths of a people are of essential value and dignity. There has fallen upon you the gift of tongues, so that men from afar, the wise, and the simple hear and understand you. .Above all. our own people understand you. The old farmer at the close of his long battle with the wilderness sees the land glorified about him by your song. The little children hear you and confer upon you an honor higher than any academic dignity when they gather with joy about vour feet. Now. therefore, the Uni- versity of Indiana, which is also the child of the peo- ple, which represents their spirit and their hojie. in- vites you to academic fellowship in conferring upon you the degree of Doctor of Laws. These are the words which President Bryan spoke on the occasion of Mr. Riley ' s receiving the honorary degfee in IQ07.
