HISTORY OF THE SCHOOL. And then indoors. Eyes will fall on this that will recall those opening days of ' 75, before our furniture came, and when, do the best we could, the house would seem bare and empty. The boys for a week or two, cheered by Dr. Fairfield ' s hopeful words ; bravely slept on the floor. He promised them that they would remember and laugh at their hardships some day, and be glad, in spite of them all, that they had been Indiana ' s first students. Now that the basement has been fitted up, that the dining room, the society rooms, the reading room, and the chapel are all beautifully frescoed and fur- nished, the parlor handsomely furnished, and the reading room and library filling up with books, is a fitting time to make good the Doctor ' s prediction. Delightful associations already gather about the school. There are men and women in many States and in other lands that recall our class-rooms and chapel and halls in tender and happy memory. The grove, the lawn tennis, the croquet and base ball grounds they remember as that golden world where they did fleet the time care- lessly. The prayer meetings, the Bible class, the societies, are shrines to which good and grateful hearts render homage. Lasting friendships have been formed among both teachers and scholars, friendships that will make life more blest and more happy. Pennsylvania has the foundation of a magnificent and rapidly developing system of Normal Schools. To-day in number, in attendance of students, in buildings and equip- ment, her Normal Schools will compare favorably with any that can be found elsewhere, at home or abroad. Among these schools Indiana has from the first held an eminent place. She has done much to develop the science of education, and to introduce improved methods of teach- ing, much to furnish a body of workers whose thoroughness and skill will everywhere be recognized, much to bring into clearer light the meaning and dignity of the teach- er ' s office. Indiana, March 8, 1888. 12
