Thou- sands of young men and women are turning to America's educational in- stitutions for an answer to their des- tinies. In this historic time the Uni- versity of Iowa is rising to the top in providing better educational bases for personal achievement. It is not an accomplishment easily gained. Nei- ther is it a goal that, once achieved, can be laid aside for anything but higher accomplishments. The future of Iowa's youth lies with its Univer- sity. But the responsibility of accepting the educational benefits offered here rests with the student.

as a , . .sa i an The first faculty and President Dean fcenterj When the lylechanics' Academy was leased to the University in the spring of 1855, five teachers were employed: Alexander Johnston, math, Abel Beach, languages, E. M. GuH'in, prep school, James Hall, geology, Zoology and nat- ural history, and Josiah D. Whit- ney, mineralogy and chemistry. The attendance Was 124 C83 were men and fl-l Womenj. The term Was to extend lo Weeks. Tuition Was four dollars a term. Page 10 i A rf if is arg Recognizing the school's impoverished condition, Dean, in l858, recommended that Work be suspended in order to gather funds for operation of all departments, erect buildings, and to give students a chance to become qualified in other prep schools for University study. During his term, provision was made for the first building constructed by the State, Old South Hall, and e Board of Trustees excluding Women from attending any classes except in the normal department. Here the age requirement Was set at l7 years for men and l5 for Women, and students Were required to sign a pledge to become teachers in order to obtain free instruction. The Board de- manded that When instruction was re- sumed, Dean must become a resident of Iowa City. His interests, however, re- mained in the east, and in l859 President Dean resigned.
