PRESIDENT MASON lt is but three years since the University of Chicago, inspired by the vision and courage of President Burton, initiated a program of development. All groups of the University family joined in the effort with energy and unity. Today we are happy in the ground we have already gained, and determined that a program of development shall continue as long as the University endures. Our program is not for expansion of activity, but for continually increased perfection of performance. The physical equipment of the University is being rapidly improved as our new buildings are being completed. Next year will soon see work commenced on new buildings for botany, chemistry, mathematics, and the social sciences. Of far greater importance is the stimulation and improvement in the Univer- sity's work made possible by the increased endowment. The keynote of our University is scholarship with a purpose. It is my abmition to see the undergraduates full partners in this enterprise. I believe that we can evolve, by common effort, a distinctive undergraduate college at Chicago,-a college of opportunity, in which American youth, while enjoying those valuable and picturesque activities which lend color to American college life, may find romance and adventure that lie in the independent effort in the life of the intellect. .Max Illafo 71, Pug: 18
