The mature learner, having acquired knowledge of history and an appreciation for the workings of the world, recognizes one fact above all else: that she has mastered so little of what there is to know. Similarly, as we conclude one Madison Century and commence another, my first thought is, so much done, so much to do! By any measure our institutional life has been filled with one success after another, and we now face a new Madison Century of service emboldened with the confidence that comes only from achievement. We have prepared over 100,000 graduates to lead personally productive lives, but as a public university, we have also contributed to the general welfare of our Commonwealth and the nation. We have advanced the public good. In fact, a flourishing democracy is dependent upon an educated populace. As our namesake James Madison, said, What spectacle can be more edifying or more seasonable, than that of liberty and learning, each leaning on the other for their mutual and surest support. Much has changed at Madison since Nannie Sword enrolled in 1909. Our yearbook, whether The Schoolmaam or Vie Bluestone is a wonderful reminder of the common thread that runs through the fabric of our institutional history. They reflect the centrality of the student as the university has carried out its mission. This year ' s Centennial edition of Vw Bluestone is no different, ft is filled with friendships, relationships, events and activities that comprise the Madison collegiate experience. I consider it to be quite a privilege to lead such an extraordinary institution as it celebrates its 100th birthday. Linwood H. Rose President
