Photographic View of the Tri-State Normal College Buildings, Angola, Indiana, THE INVISIBLE TRI-STATE Whether your memory reaches back to the first day, June 17, 1884, of the first term of Tri-State, or whether you had your baptism of inspiration in the gay 90's or the atomic 50's, we shall Hnd that the school has been from the very first down to the present moment, a fountain of life-giving education and inspiration to every serious minded student who has entered her gates. The history of Tri-State cannot be told without going back to its visible begin- ning. Angola itself and many people from many parts of the country contributed to this beginning. It is to these trail-blazers more than to any other to whom credit is due for establishing the college for the youth of old Steuben. These pioneers worked with untiring zeal and courage. No discouragement stopped them. There had to be money but the greatest problem of all was where they would find a Moses to lead them to the Promised Land. The Hrst call went to L. M. Sniff, Head of Department of Mathematics at Ohio Northern University. He declined the offer. C. E. Kircher was hired as principal but left after a few months. It was at this time that the citizens of Angola gave the second call to L. M. Sniff. When he came to look over the proposition he faced six and a half acres of campus, most of it in a state of wilderness, the enormous equipment of a globe and a few blocks, a debt of 332000, 35 students without faith and money-more lack of faith than money-but in the midst of it all an opportunity to try out his ideals in education. Later in life when he and his partners were asked why they had not ac- cepted the positions and honors which involved large sums of money that had been of- fered them he said: We have been solving a problem in education and have been so deeply absorbed in that solution that we have forgotten all else. The problem is this -Prove by actual facts that a brave and strong young man or woman can get a respectable education equal to six years of conventional college work in one hundred fifty weeks at an expense within reach of the poor. Whom we invite-We invite those who are hungry for education but may be badly behind. You may have felt that the world had condenmed you as poor in material because you are not a high school gradu- ate or because you have delayed the making-up. It is yet to be proven that a young man must be made up by the time he is 20 or 25, or that he is poor cloth, shoddy, be- cause he is not a high school graduate. It is much better for material to be shrunk be- fore it is made up. Then you can and you will plow a clean, straight and well-turned furrow through your college career. The authorities by precept and example try to help young people to discover themselves, so they can enter the world conscious of their powers and in control of them-a foundation upon which to build a career. 55
