FOREWORD JOSEPH JORGENS 0tY this very moment, I am told, there are being built wonder-ships of the air rivaling Pullman cars in comfort and luxury.- hundred-mi les-an-hour planes that will span the ocean. There is secrecy now. but when the war is over, the “wings of the wind ' will be found to have been harnessed. We are on the verge of tremendous changes. A few years ago our magnificent state was a wilderness. Compared with the present, the world was a wilderness. The marvels of that time are now necessities. What of the next fifty years? How fortunate are you young people who are to behold these transitions! How fortunate are you who are to play a part in making things not yet dreamed of! My only regret is that I cannot turn time back twenty-five years and be in the game with you. In our little world at South, you are witnessing transformations not large, perhaps, but vital. For a long time the thought of our people has been to house the larger and better things in education. As the soul within grows, it shapes the material form. The completion of the new building is an outward expression of our growth. We leave the old and go into the new. But there will be other changes, for the invisible toiler works on, and in the course of time, builds dwellings more splendid than those before. It is the unresting quest for that which is the noblest and the best.
