T II E TilE PLACE where we now gather to study and leam and live could undoiiht-edly spin fabulous tales of the not-too-distant past when it was marked with tall pines instead of buildings, and beaten footpaths instead of paved streets. Yes. this exact location on which Eau Claire State Teachers College now stands was once the dividing line between three Indian nations, the Chipjiewa, Sioux, and Winnebago. These nations had long been at war with one another, but finally these battles became so many and so costly that the United States Government decreed that a peace shotild he made and the long-fought-after territory he divided among these three Indian nations. Representatives of the Sioux, Chippewa, and Winnebago met at Prairie du Chien in 1825 and reached an agreement which established what is now Little Niagara as the dividing line between the three nations. In the years that followed, this spot, its high rocky bluff a distinctive landmark visible for some distance, came to he a popular stop-over point for the traders and trappers who freighted their goods by canoe up and down the river. Even today this historic landmark remains beautiful although the terrace has been thinned of its majestic pines and the course of the creek altered slightly to make room for the campus. Yet it is interesting to remember that not long ago another people with another culture occupied the same lands, watched the same river, and walked the same grounds as do we students here today.
