NINETEEN TWELVE In purely student activities, probably the greatest strides were made by the Weekly Exponent, which, within one year from its first publication. has reached a position of prestige and influence, not to mention quality and regularity, which entitles it to be ranked as one of the best college weeklies published in the country. Whatever may be the past, from all the laws of history, and from all the precedents of similar institutions in large eastern stales, the college which this book partially represents is destined to a continued growth and prosperity for years to come. Its location in a state which in years to come will be essentially agricultural in pursuits, in a valley which is famed the world over for its richness; its possession of the leading engineering departments in the west; and its substantial foundation. all combine to make certain this prediction. The steady increase in attendance, with the corresponding increase in faculty membership, point to an attendance within a few years reaching into four figures. The strenuous work of the present year will probably do much to foster this increase in students and hopes are apparently well founded for a record breaking freshman class next fall. With a continuation of the support granted the college by the State of Montana for years past, it is not unreasonable to expect the next five years to sec the improvement of the campus and addition of new buildings so change the topography of the hill as to render it unrecognizable to a student of this time. The new engineering hall, a new gymnasium, a splendid grand stand on the athletic field, new greenhouses and barns for the station, a dormitory for boys, a new chemistry building and main hall, and many other improvements may be expected to be added with unprecedented rapidity. To contemplate, in the mind’s eve. these changes and advancements, can have no result other than to instill an added respect and veneration for the institution. Traditions and memories are the backbone of what is known as college spirit, and these have been begun in the past, added to and maintained in the present, what then, may we look forward to for the future? During these present days of hurry, rush and high tension, it is well to stop for a moment occasionally to consider the results «»f past generations of workers. The growth in every branch and every department of the institution is a cause for marvel, and admiration of those who have made it possible. The sincere devotion of an ever growing alumni, coupled with the indefatigable efforts of a progressive faculty, and this in turn aided by an ever growing spirit of loyalty on the part of the students, these forces will tell heavily in future progress.
