Queen Anne, dismissed the council of re- 0 «iP gency and appointed Cardinal Mazarin her chief minister. Mazarin and the queen instilled in the character of the young king the habits of orderliness, regularity, a strong will, and realization of the need of a supreme and authoritative government. Through the combined influence of his mother and Mazarin, Louis became a man of firm will, great sagacity, penetration and perseverance. Comparable to the fine qualities which Mazarin and the Queen instilled in Louis ' character, and the careful guidance which they gave him are the fine qual- ities which the administrative officers and the faculty of Indiana university strive to instill in the characters of Indiana ' s students by careful guidance. Through able instruction, good entertainment, and the best that can be obtained in every- thing, they give the students of Indiana that which will mold their characters into the finest pattern attainable. f- [Page 22] WJl!

During the Memorial Drive Still another boon to education was passed by the state legislature. The Pittenger-Harris-Claycomb- Chamberlain bill provides for a two-cent general property tax levy for ten years. This will net about $10,000,000 and will be used for building purposes by the state schools. Indiana university will re- ceive about $350,000 annually. The ten-year period will start in 1928. Some of the improvements which may be made during the next decade as a result of the state tax levy are the general improvement and modernizing of the present buildings, the construction of an auditorium, administration building, building for the school of music, a power plant, addition to Wylie hall, building for the school of education, addition to Owen hall, building for geology, zool- ogy, botany and museum, and a group of small buildings. Additions also will be made at the medical and dental schools. All funds, however, will not be used for brick and stone. The salaries of our many under-paid professors and officials will be raised. Casting a carefully appraising eye over the preceding evidences of progress and achievement it is superfluous to say that the university has taken a deter- minate swing forward. We need have no apprehension as to the future. Students will be quickened and enriched by the new contacts with life and truth and will leave with a spacious sense of the amplitude of life ' s possibilities. With these looming certainties it is safe to say that not only will Indiana ' s sons and daughters praise the greater university but it will be the dispassionate judg- ment of all that the university is fulfilling its greatest possibilities. And so, believing as we do, we do not feel it is too much to say that our uni- versity is entering a more glorious era of PROGRESS AND ACHIEVEMENT The Riley Hospital for Children [Page 21]
