MY WORK Let me do my work from day to day In yield or forest, at the desk or loom, In roaring market-place or tranquil room, Let me but find it in my heart to say When vagrant wishes beekon me astray, This is my work, my blessing, not my doom, Of all who live I am the one by whom This work can best be done in the right way. Then shall I see it not too great nor too small fTo suit my spirit and to prove my powersg Then shall I, cheerful, greet the laboring hours, And cheerful, turn when the long shadows fall At euentide to play, and love, and rest, Because I know for me, my work is best. -'VAN DYKE.

Mr. Rose's bequests to the school included the grounds, the main building, the shop building, sums for equipment and maintenance and a productive capital of Hve hundred thousand dollars. A bequest was received from the will of Josephus Collet, who was Mr. R0se's successor as President, of Hfty thousand dollars. Rose Polytechnic Institute was formally opened for instructon at Thirteenth and Locust streets March 7, 1883, at which time President Charles O. Thompson made the inaugural address. President Thompson had been principal of the Free Institute of Technology of Worcester, Massachusetts, and had toured abroad studying European schools of technology. He embodied the results of his experience in the plan of instruc- tion that he formulated for the new school, and which is still substantially followed. Unfortunately, President Thompson lived only long enough to see his work started. July, 1886, Dr. T. C. Mendenhall was elected his successor and served until 1890, when he took charge of the United States Coast and Geodetic Survey. Dr. H. T. Eddy filled the presidency until the election of Dr. Carl L. Mees in 1895. Dr. Mees served the school efficiently until his retirement in 1919. During his administration the Institute rose to a high position in the engineering world, and to him a great deal of credit for the development of the school must be given. Due to the increasing popularity of Rose, need of more room was felt and plans were made for a new location. One hundred and twenty-three acres of land upon which the Institute now stands were given by Anton and Herman Hulman. The War delayed the con- struction of the new buildings and the present building was finished and opened in 1922. The presidency was occupied by Dr. H. C. Woodruff until the election of Dr. Frank C. Wagner in 1924. Dr. Wagner served capably as president until his tragic death in 1928 and Dr. Prentice was chosen president in 1932. Other donors of the school include Susan K. QHeminwayj Francis, William S. Rea, James McGregor, Demas Deming, and the alumni and citizens of Terre Haute. To all these men we owe a great amount of respect for ther efforts and assistance in placing Rose Polytechnic Institute on its present level in the field of engineering education. The 1933 . Mooutus
