These beautiful buildings go to form one of the greatest educational centers of Western New York. lmpressive events took place that day that will preserve it in the memories of all who participated. We who waited so anxiously for the day to arrive felt that as the walls rose so should we rise to our proper place among the colleges of the State. The new buildings were the last necessary stimulus to force realization upon the lay mind that we are no longer a normal school but truly a college. School spirit among the students never before reached such a height of enthusiasm. How proud we were to say we attended State Teachers College, how elated to be present at the ceremonies of the day, and how uplifted as we took part in the dignified rites that preceded the spreading of the mortar. None of us will ever forget, even when the actual words are lost to our memory, tl1e glow within us as Chancellor Capen of the University of Buffalo and Father Cusick of Canisius College stressed the friendliness that exists between us and the other two great schools of Buffalo. Perhaps, though, the exercise which will linger longest in our memories is the actual laying of the cornerstone. Just sixteen years before, October 9, 1913, Edward H. Butler, Senior, ofliciated at the ceremonies for the present building. With a thrill, as its full significance broke upon us, we watched Edward H. Butler use the same trowel on the cornerstone of our new building. The little box in the stone contained interesting information for future gener- ations, a college catalog for 1929-30, a photograph of the breaking of the ground for the new building, a copy of the 1929 ELMS, a program of the Lake Placid conference, a student handbook, a copy of the programs of the cornerstone layings of 1869 and 1913, an invitation and a program for the exercises of 1929, a list of the students of the college, a document recovered from the cornerstone of 1869 with names of the officeholders in Buffalo at the time, a newspaper clipping published in 1869 and a new one-dollar bill donated by Section Two of the Third Year Intermediate group.
