WVe have attempted here to chronicle that small part, which we as the Faculty and Students have had in it. It is a small part as compared with the events that have taken place this year or years in the world, yet to us, it has been filled to overflowing with pleasant memories-memories that will grow sweeter as the yeas pass, and you will treasure every recollection. With a keen under- standing of its future worth, we present this volume to you as a token of our days together, knowing full well that it will mark a golden milestone in the lives of you all.

V THE POLY THE BEGINNING THE BILLINGS POLYTECHNIC WHAT IT IS AND WHAT IT is DOING The Billings Polytechnic Institute was founded in 1908. One year was occupied in making the preliminary arrangements to open the school, so that ten years of actual existence of the institution are now a part of history. It can no longer be called an experiment, but must be considered a permanent factor in the life of the region it serves. As such, an explanation of what the institution stands for and what it is attempting to accomplish in this region, is most fitting and proper. SUPPLYING AN URGENT NEED The Polytechnic came into being as a result of a most urgent need here in the Northwest for an institution of learning which should oEer to any boy or girl the opportunity to receive a useful training for life. Its ambitious program of throwing the doors of education wide open to any young person desiring a better place in life has forced the institu- tion to go forward by leaps and bounds. It has caused the management to exert every possible influence to enlarge the plant and provide better equipment. Often the demands have carried the directors far beyond the limit of resources at hand, but the end has seemingly justified the means and the school has gone steadily forward. The Polytechnic has developed faster than any other institution in the Northwest, and has now reached a place of real importance, where it is attracting the atten- tion of the educational world as few institutions have with so brief an existence.
