It will be a key to our memories, long after we have forgotten little happi- nesses in which we have delighted, long after we have forgotten those who are respon- sible for our really receiving this part of our expansive education. The illustration of the Senior section is symbolic of our commencement. For our graduation is really but a beginning. Some of us will actually begin our life routines. Let us not forget that the most important part of our education at Marshall will have an important role in our lives, on our future successes. Twelve

The little old government mill erected in the early 1880's is seen on the left. This was the first mill on the present site of Minneapolis. On the right is the present day Pillsbury A mill. MILLS OF ST. ANTHONY VER a hundred years ago by the rushing falls of St. Anthony was erected by the government a little old wooden mill. Today at the same site are grouped mills which are capable of turning out in two days more than the yearly capacity of this little structure. Thus the great flour mills of Minneapolis began and grew. The nucleus of the Hour milling district of theworld is situated in the heart of Minneapolis, on the banks of the Mississippi River. Every natural dexterity is sup- plied for this eminence to be maintained 5 for it is located in the largest hard wheat belt in the world, with the largest cash wheat marketg and its power is derived from the falls of St. Anthony. The improvements in transportation for the exporting of flour, and the many inventions in farm machinery have all helped to supply the rea- son Minneapolis milling industries should go forward with leaps and bounds. The Pillsbury A mill is the largest in the world and was built in 1881, an im- posing blue limestone structure on the east side of the river. Today it has a capa- city of fourteen thousand barrels. A The mills, bound by the romance of constant association to the falls of St. An- thony, represent the outstanding industrial progress of the city. Thefgreat electric sign with its 2500 lamps shines over the city at night, as the mills themselves stand like beacons in the advancement of Minneapolis. Eleven
