T H E BADGER 19 3 2 President Glenn Frank IN twelfth century France there lived a great and gifted teacher. Peter Abelard, who tried to run away from the world by going into a desert place where he built for himself a hermit's cabin of stubble and reeds. Here was a teacher running away from teaching. But he was a great teacher And when the secret of his hiding place became known, students flocked to him bv the thousands from Paris, and covered the desert around him with tents and huts erected by their own hands. I lere was an ideal educational building program, flowering naturally from the creative genius of a great educator. Certainly the most important part of a uni- versity is not its buildings. A great university cannot be created bv the activities of real estate promoters, the achievements of architects, and the artistry of landscape gardeTers. The buildings and equipment of a university arc Hit the tools of its spirit. It were better to have creative educational processes going on in ramshackle Hiildings than to have many and magnificent buildings in which, as in a tomb, the spirit of creative education lay sterile and dead. Mv toast, then, to a Badger that seeks to stress the central significance of great minds and of great men in the life of the University of Wisconsin! Page 2 5
