It has had to fight for its existence, until it became recognized as a true uni- versity. It has had to fight all the problems brought with an arctic winter. It has had to fight lack of funds and public apathy. Today the University is secure in the knowledge that it is indeed filling a need of the territory. It is growing every year, always holding before it the motto: Ad Sum- mum — To The Top.

DEDICATION Cap Austin E. Lathrop will always have a special place in the history of the University of Alaska. Not only did he come to the University ' s aid during times of financial stress, but he also gave of his time and energy for the building of a greater University. Cap Lathrop spent fifty-five years in the territory, and unlike so many others he turned his wealth to the task of making a better Alaska. He was vice-president of the University of Alaska Board of Regents, and in his will left one hundred shares of the Lathrop Company to be set up as a scholarship fund. Cap Lathrop was born on October 5, 1865 and died July 26, 1950. five
