WHO FOUNDED SNOW COLLEGE— Excerpts from Foundkks Day Address hij Bruce Jennings “It appears that this academy was named in honor of Apostle Lorenzo Snow. 1’resident Knute Peterson and other prominent churchmen Were active in its behalf. The main building was financed to a considerable extent by the countless small and even anonymous gifts of very poor and very earnest people who believed in schools and in education and in the doctrine that men cannot be saved in ignorance . . . “I should like to suggest that an understanding of the Puritan—his feet firmly set upon Plymouth’s granite soil; his thinking as lofty as the lonely stars, is necessary to an understanding of Snow College— its yesterday, its today, its tomorrow; the underlying earnestness that pervades it; the quiet humility and integrity of its teachers; the essential seriousness and purposefulness of its students . . . “I like to think that the little old Danish grandmother who lived tip the street and whose contribution to the building fund was a dozen eggs or a pock of potatoes, was one of the founders of Snow College . . . I like to think that the unpretentious teacher whose contributions of understanding and often even of money, over the years, have enabled more than one boy and girl to continue on in this school—I like to think that she too is a founder of Snow College. “I like to think that the plain and shabby girl, whose cracked brown oxford and weary old blue serge were her college wardrobe—and whose books have since delighted a hundred thousand children—I like to think that she, t x , is one of the founders of Snow College. “In fact, it has occurred to me that this business of founding ... is rather a process by which all the men and women who have been or yet will join together in association in this school somehow create anew. As each partakes of the spirit which he discovers here, so each enlarges and enriches in some degree that spirit. Out of the thread that binds us to the past we weave the fabric of the present, and Snow College now lies in our hands; its present heirs, its present founders . . .” P. C. Peterson of the Class of '88, presided as toastmaster of the annual banquet, held in the recently acquired dining hall. Sixty Years of Building was the theme to which Rulon Peterson and Verda Mae Schultz spoke. 12
