.. — ' HE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON was a small in- t stitution in 1 899. Approximately one-third of the students in attendance were of preparatory rank, and the few college students were scattered and unorganized (the Law School then held its sessions in the Old University Building down town). In the twelve years that have since elapsed well known and remarkable changes have taken place. In reviewing these changes it is customary to pomt out the ex- panding campus, the increasing number of buildings, and the rapidly mounting registration of students, all of college rank. There is another side, however, to which, on biddmg farewell to the students, I wish to call attention. A large student body is truly a source of inspiration, and as a moving force it can accomplish great results. Material equipment in campus and buildings is essential to progress, and, as now possessed by Washington, is something to be proud of. But after all these are only the husk, and if the Soul of Sen ' ice be lacking, the outward body is mere show — in the end worth nothing. If love and sacrifice are woven into the web of the Univer- sity, then will the institution have indeed a true life, a life that will endure and grow firmer in power and influence as the years go by. For- tunately for Washington, the foundation stones of the University, laid far back in territorial days, were established by sacrifice and cemented with love. The first site was donated, and the early teachers were paid mainly by faith. And in Old North Hall, and under the maples on the hill, were learned the lessons of unselfish devotion to a good cause. So in 1 899, what though the University was small and meagerly equipped, I found it already great in services rendered. And today the most notable characteristics of Washington men and women are their loyalty to the ideals of the University , their persistence in every right endeavor, and their readiness to forget self in advancing the wel- fare of the student body as a whole. For twelve years I have been with you and of you — twelve years — long enough to know and to love three generations of students. And when the historian shall chronicle the record of these twelve years, and if my name shall appear in a humble place among those who have served, who have given of life ' s best without thought of return, then shall I be proud. And if my name shall not so appear, yet will I be satisfied in the knowledge that I have tried to serve, and that somewhere among these three generations of students there may be a man or a woman who is broader of mind and truer of heart because I have passed this way. Arthur R. Priest.
