COLONEL E.H.MURFEE GENERAL D.H.HILL f COLONEL G.M.EDGAR GENERAL A.W.BISHOP DEDICATION PROF. N. P.GATES Presidents build universities. Others merely shape them, merely attach themselves, merely fill the space opened by the administrative leader. A despot, and in many cases a severe one, the American university president remains, in most cases, the final protection, the stern though conscientious father of his institution. To nine men, all presidents of the University of Arkan¬ sas, in order to revive honor due them, to declare honestly their preeminent function of creation an d their burden of responsibility in forming an institution this book, the thirty- fifth editon of THE RAZORBACK, is sincerely dedicated.

hi ; BUCHANAN HALL FOR E WO R D Founded in 1872, when the period of popular education was yet unknown, the University of Arkansas was one of the first, and, at one time, the fourth largest of the state universities. With such a background of age and historical involvement the institution, naturally, has become the setting for many deep-rooted traditions, both gravely historical, on the one hand, and youthfully frivolous on the other. To catalogue and record, on the sixtieth year of its existence, the historical and traditional attachments of the University of Arkansas is the purpose of this book. The editor has attempted, particularly, in the illustrations and descriptions of the theme, to remain as closely as practical to authenticity of detail and incident.
