RAYMOND A. PEARSON President most thoughtless of undei'g1-aduates must occasionally realize that such institutions as Iowa State do not simply happen. There were founders-pioneers whom we honor, and their successors whom we revere. For the past fourteen years, the man who planned and worked and looked toward the future of our college has been Raymond Allen Pearson- Pi-exy -the man who we all respect, and now wish Godspeed. His administration has marked the period of the most rapid expansion the college has ever known. The new Library and Home Economics Building are only the more recent manifestations of an extensive building pro- gram. Since 1912, the Armory, Science Hall, Physics Building, Chemistry Building and many others have been built. During this period, the acreage of the college farms has been substantially increased, and the Extension Department has been greatly expanded. During the last few years, Veishea, our open house, has been in- augurated. While he has kept the forward look of the leader, he has not forgotten to consider the mental per- spectives of his student body. And now he is leaving us. Wliat we lose, others gain. His record with us speaks for hini-his future cannot be other than successful. l Page Twenty-three

Page Twenty-four PIERMAN IQNAPP Acting President college has as its leading object, -without excluding other scien- tific and classical studies, and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in order to promote the liberal and practical education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life. This has ever been the purpose of the men at its head, but problems have presented themselves during its growth, and to meet these difhculties some changes had to be made. However, in no case has the college deviated from its originally prescribed purpose: The remarkable success of our great and growing institution is due to its splendid men and Women-those who here investigate, supervise and instructig those who form its splendid student body: those who are its loyal alumni. r
