other equipment. The morning was spent in filling in the letter with rock, and tlie litters constructed for the purpose proved an invaluable aid in carrying small rock. As soon as a section of the letter was completed the whitewash gang took possession and proceeded to lay on a thick coat of substantial white with a spray pump, while a crew carried water up the hill to mix the whitewash. 1'he completion of the M was followed by another picnic in the canyon and about fifty of the class returned to town on Taylor’s truck. It has now become an established custom for the Freshman class to repair and whitewash the letter every fall. The M is constructed entirely of limestone rocks and boulders carried by hand from the surrounding mountainside and laid in position. 1'he size of the letter cannot be conceived without an actual visit to the mountainside. The U at the University of Utah was reputed to be the largest in the world at the time of its completion, measuring one hundred feet square. The M far outstrips these dimensions, being two hundred and forty feet high by one hundred feet across the legs, with blocks measuring forty by ninety-six feet. The success of so herculean a task rests entirely with the loyalty and industry of the entire class. May the M stand long as a symbol of our loyalty to Montana State and a reminder of what a united class can accomplish.
