Northwestern University - Syllabus Yearbook (Evanston, IL)

THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY XVALTER DILL SCOTT The first class of four students entered Northwestern University in the Fall of 1855, eighty years ago this past autumn. President Clark T. Hinman, elected on ,Tune 23, 1853, had spared himself so little in his efforts for the new University that he had died October 1, 1854. There was no president to greet the new student body but they were met by two faculty members, Henry S. Noyes, Professor of Mathematics and William D. Goodman, Professor of Greek Language and Literature. The only University Building, still standing on the Campus was Old College, scarcely com- plete when the new University moved in to initiate its limited curriculum. At that time, as now, the University's desires and hopes far exceeded its abilities a11d the courses offered in Mathematics and Greek on the opening were but a small part of the original curriculum planned by President Hinman. Less than twenty student generations separate the Northwestern University of 1855 from the Northwestern presented in this 1937 Syllabus. The University of today is the accomplishment of the period of but one manis life. There is now on the University payroll at least one man who was alive when Professor Noyes walked to his work that first morning through the Evanston mud. In these eighty years the University and Evanston have changed as living growths within which men have developed their ideas and their aspirations. Perhaps 'these facts are significant for those of us both students and faculty who think of Northwestern University as something huge, impersonal and final, without realizing that within this bulk, ideas and aspirations are struggl- ing toward a new University which may be the culmination some eighty years hence. A WAI,TER DILL ScoTT.
