President Todd believes the College of Puget Sound to be so located, that in the years to come. it will be compelled to grow into the University class of institution. The success of the Collegeis as- sured. It has attained a place in the Northwest among the substantial Colleges of Liberal Arts. The College of Puget Sound is accredited by the American Council of Education, Northwest Asso- ciation of Colleges and Secondary Schools, Amer- ican Medical Associationg University of the State of New York, Waslmington State Board of Edu- cation, Association of American Colleges, and Uni- versity Senate of the Methodist Church. By virtue of its membership in the Northwest Association, its credits are recognized by the North Central Association of Colleges and Secondary Schools, the Association of the Middle States and Maryland, the New England Association, and the Southern Association. President Todd and the Development Office of the College are actively engaged in campaigning for funds. The Development Office is in charge of the Field Secretary, Dr. Roy L. Sprague. His co-workers in the field are the Rev. S. Bell, and Rev. O. F. Krieger. This year, the work of the field staff is concerned chiefly in bringing about conditions which will enable the College to make Hnal settlements with the General Education Board on june 1, 1930. The public addresses made by President Todd and members of the field staff have been largely instrumental in bringing closer contact between the College and the community it serves. During the past year, scholastic standards have been raised by the administration, and courses more clearly defined in accordance with those of older institutions. It is the hope of President Todd, that some day the College of Puget Sound will be the Leland Stanford University of the Northwest. With this standard of excellence before them, builders of the college are planning for the future. ? , ,,,...5 N ' Elf 1 . is BLANCHE W. STEVENS Dean of W'omen Associate Professor af Home Econom cs rv , , K vfietzfzcfsfiilb N OPPORTUNITY for making last- ing friendships is afforded at the Col- lege of Puget Sound. The College covets for each student within its halls, a growing knowledge and understanding of making and keeping friends, and of being a friend. To attain these friendships one must recognize that freedom is neither because, nor following the path, of least resistance. Instead, the foundation of friendship, as of character and culture, is in the last analysis. He who would participate in true friendship must have a respect for himself that is genuine. He appears as he is, he does not resort to cheap display, and is not motivated by law or false purposes. He has personal integrity, a stability of purpose, and is steadfast. He who has this respect for friends and for his own best self, lives in the present in the fight of the future. This respect for others will carry with it all the nnest elements of chivalry, not only chivalry of man toward woman, but everywhere, the glad de- votion of the strong to the weak, which keeps one from taking advantage of the frailty of another. Such a belief will make possible a larger freedom in the life on this campus. page 11 etc

The College of Puget Sound is like a great industry teeming with energy. It is like a lumber mill through which passes timber from every corner of the earth. Through the mill the trees become the refined product that the world needs in its build- ing. Every man, from the logger in the woods to the piler in the yards is a necessary factor to the result achieved. With one cog of the machinery gone, the perfectness of the grain would be lost If students or administrators fail to recognize their necessity in the College, they are lacking in that spirit of cooperation without which little can be gained. The logger in the forest is known for strength and courage. The man in the mill's office is recognized for alert mental ability. The one handles the rough product, the other plans and sells the hnished board. Wllen the College trains the stu- dents to have a realization of the finest in both of these types, it is performing a splendid task. Wlien the student learns, with cooperation, to de- velop a worthwhile character, he fits himself to be a citizen of life. page cighlecn S lf lil HD lL A S T ll 'U TEADY purposeful growth has been the keynote of the progress of the Col- lege of Puget Sound. So called mush- room towns spring up overnight in soil that is, for the time being, fertile. Great cities are built on the solid rock of steady commerce, growing indus- try, and increasing population. So it has been with Puget Sound. Not by a single stroke of genius has it come to its present standing, but by the plodding elfort of many, -the inspirational leadership of true genius. Increasing registration numbers a definite need for such an institution, and a place for the graduates of that institution, all have pointed toward the success of what was once an almost unknown school. In the fall of 1890, the Puget Sound Univer- sity registered its first students in a new building at South 21st and 1 streets. Frequent moves took the University to South Tenth and Yakima in 1891, and to South Ninth and G, in 1894. The institution was re-incorporated as the Uni- versity of Puget Sound, in the Spring of 1903. During the same year, the ,Alumni purchased a new campus at Sixth and Sprague. An admin- istration building was erected, and the University was accredited by the State Board of Education, and the Summer School became a part of the work of the University. Rev. Edward H. Todd has served as President since 1913. In 1914, the name of the institution was changed to that of College of Puget Sound. In 1923, Mrs. Franke M. Jones made a gift of Ql180,000 to President Todd and the Trustees, with the purpose of erecting a building in memory of her husband who had been a prominent lumber- man. A new and large site was purchased. and the modern and beautiful C. H. Jones Hall was con- structed at North 15th and Lawrence streets. The following year, 1924, saw the first classes in the new building. The Gymnasium and VU om- en's Cottage were completed shortly afterwards. Science Hall, the newest building on the campus, was completed in 1927. The plan of the College campus is so arranged that as it grows, expansion can be made indefin- itely without disorganization.

Administrators of ISCIENCE HALL the College of Puget Sound have been carefully chosen for their posi- tions. Their number has greatly increased the past few years, and the strength and prestige of the college has grown with them. Splendid specialists in every field are to be found in the institution, and these men and women are continually studying modern methods and working for higher degrees. Extension worlc was a new feature introduced into the College curricula this past year. Dr. Sam- uel Weir of the department of Education, has taken charge of education classes in Olympia each week. Further classes in education, psychology, and public spealcing have been held in various com- munity centers of the city. The extended program of Adult Education in- cludes the Evening School. The teaching staff of these classes is selected almost exclusively from the regular faculty. The work of the night school has been recognized as one of the worthwhile fea- tures of cultural educational interests of the city. The completion of a Hne new Science Hall in 1927 has made possible outstanding progress in this department. The building is a modern, three story fireproof edifice. It is one of the finest science buildings in the Pacific Northwest. The lower floor is occupied by the physics lab- oratories, the commons and the heating plant. The physics department is equipped with three labora- tories, and one recitation room. Of particular in- terest in the way of apparatus is the quartz spec- trograph, which was purchased last year. page twenty space now talcen by . the Commons. At the present time, t h e s e classes convene in Jones Hall. This de- partment has a collec- tion of minerals for display purposes. The second Hoot of the I-lall houses the Home Economics and The former has a well lighted clothing laboratory, fitting rooms, a large food and nutrition laboratory, dining room, kitch- en and pantry. Biology departments. Workrooins, research laboratories, an aquarium, and recitation rooms are used for biology work. In their work, the students have access to much equipment. The Chemical laboratories occupy the top floor exclusively. There are four standardly equipped laboratories, a combustion room and a balance room for the use of students. Open House was held in the Science Hall this spring, and the public was invited to a formal opening and inspection of the building. A conservatory of music, wherein students may receive instruction in technical music, piano, voice and violin, has developed from the smaller depart- ment of music that the college has maintained for the last two years. New positions and ideas have presented them- selves to the administration, and been accepted be- cause of the added efficiency they offer in the pre- sentation of every course. Thus, as the students and faculty review the classroom activities of the past year, they may remember the eiiort that has been made to develop each department into a spec- ialized fleld of scholarly endeavor.
