H rSQUEHANNA UNIVJ RSITY luid its hc-inning as Missionary Insti- tute, the corner-stone of which was laid on September 1, 1858. The foinuler was the Reverend Dr. Benjamin Kurtz, an eminent di -ine of the Lutheran Churcl; of his day. The school was established to supply the need for more ministers. From tiiis original motive, it has broadened its scope to include the jireparation of young men and young women for all honorable vocations in life, never ceasing to emphasize the necessity of the Christian ethic in all true education. In 1894 its corporate name was changed to Susquehanna Universitv. Born in faith, organized and promoted through jirayer, it has grown steadilv to its present strength. Since then Susquehanna University has made remarkable progress. In 1858 Selinsgrove Hall was the only building on the campus, and now the University includes many fine buildings: Selinsgrove Hall, Hassino-er Hall Gustavus Adol{)hus, Seibert Hall, the Alumni Gymnasium, the University Laundry, a modern steam heating plant, the Conseivatory of ] Iusic, Chai-les Steele Science Hall, Faculty Homes, and a new librarv. Susquehanna University is beautifully situated on an elevation, iust outside the borough limits of Selinsgrove, about on. -half mile from the west bank of the Susquehanna River. Overlooking one of the most scenic sections of the historical valley, the site itself is of remarkable beauty, being only a few miles below the confluence of the North and West branches of the Sus- queha nna River. It commands an outlook of more than ten miles of the o-reat valley, so rich in Indian legend, and the wooded hills of Xorthuniherland County, just beyond the river. Selinsgrove is quite accessible from every section of Pennsvlvania. An electric railway connects with Sunbury, five miles away, which is an imjiortant railroad center of Tennsylvania. It is within a radius of fiftv miles from Harrisburg, Lewistown, Williamsport, and the larger towns of the anthracite coal regions. ukI With these descriptive details concerning the life, development, am growth of Susquehanna University one can more fully understand and appre ciate her present existence.

Ima iilater The story we would tell you, friends, Would cover many a book : The subject matter of the same Is found ill every nook. Of old S. U. ' s broad campus. The common battle-ground Whose trees miglit whisper secrets grave, Amusing and profound. CHORUS Of Susquelianna now we sing. Let Susquehanna ' s praises ring. Loyal to her by night and bv noon. We ' ll raise the Orange and Maroon, Loyal to her by night and by noon, We ' ll raise tiie Orange and Mai-oon. How dear to one and all the name Their Alma Mater bears. When they have left its classic halls, To shoulder worldly cares. Of winning maids and noble lords Of dear old college days. Come join in recollections fond. And tell us of your ways. In classroom and on gridiron, friends, S. U. will stand the test; Defeat to her a word unknown. Her motto, Do your best, With vim, then let us give the yell, Display her banner bright. That all mav know of old S. l . She stands for God and Right. E. Edwix Sheldon. Fifteen
