infant State historical society. Now hundreds of thousands of volumes are housed in a magnificent fire-proof building. And all this in fifty years. I u NVisconsin in some ways is educationally a peculiar State. While it has several colleges of liberal arts, it has only one University. Nor does there seem to be any immediate llkelihopd that another University will be here established. Thus our institution must do the Uuniyersity work for the entire State. At the present time there are about two and a half millions of people in the commonwealth. How many millions there will be fifty or one hundred years PRE-JUBILEE BANQUET hence, no man knows, and it is certain that the University of W'isconsin will grow in greater proportion than the population, for as the wealth and prosperity of the State increases, a larger percentage of the youth of the State are enabled to take advantage of its opportunities. Therefore, it seems to me that the chief function of the Jubilee is to warn those who are responsible for the control of the University, to have constructive imaginations large enough to foresee the future, and to plan not with reference to the years just before us, but with refer- ence to the centuries to comeg to plan a University of a breadth and height commensurate with the teeming millions who will occupy this regiong to plan to make the University the great leader of the State both materially and intellectuallyg so that the substances and forces of nature may be wisely handled with reference to the future, that political and social problems may be solved and peace be among us, and finally so that the intellectual and spiritual life of the entire people may be on a higher plane.
