' r X - HE ability to read puts the diligent student in the possession of the means of acquiring all knowl ' edge. It is the key with which he may unlock the storehouse of knowledge. It introduces him to an acquaintance with the learned of all ages. Difference of language imposes no insurmountable barrier, for with the help of books he can easily pass over it. The wisdom of past ages, the discoveries of modern times, the sciences of the world, lie open to him who can read. Knowledge can, indeed be communicated otherwise than through books, but not then without the voice of the living instructor. But the art of reading makes the learner independent of his master and gives for in ' structors the great teachers of all ages. And these teachers are ever ready at his call.

HREE score years the last fourth of July take us to the first cele- bration upon this historic spot, when the pioneers under a flag floating from the top of a sturdy oak kept the natal day of independence, and dedi- cated this site for the capitol of the year- old territory. Just a year later, the comer stone of this old capitol was laid. This early statehouse remains Iowa s most precious material monument the birthplace of state- hood, honored by the presence of the founders of territory and state, by the addres- ses from this very spot by the War Governor, Kirkwood, and consecrated by the professors and the young patriots who have gone forth from its halls. Plain, solid, symmetrical, it stands for Iowa, and shall ever be the heart of the University. GEORGE E. MAC LEAN, PH. D-. LL. D. President 1899-1911
