THE PRESIDENT’S OUR BADGER STATE is one hundred years old, and since this college is a state institution, we have a vital interest in this milestone of our Commonwealth. Ours is a splendid heritage, and through the first century the motto Forward inspired many to keep Wisconsin unique and progressive in its outlook and action. Today as we face the second century of Wisconsin's statehood, we must keep faith with the founders of our Commonwealth. This college must dedicate itself anew to the leadership of the Wisconsin of tomorrow, fn some things educational, and in other ways, there are evidences that we are losing our position of leadership and are not exemplifying the great motto of our State. It is up to us. then, in our state colleges and in the university to hold high the torch of leadership again. Students who leave our halls and campus to become teachers must be vigorous in their leadership — they must not let reaction and stagnation dim the Wisconsin idea. and together ice must move on into a higher and nobler conception of statehood. -A, Here at Eau Claire we must pledge ourselves to be ready for active participation in this great venture of the second century of our Statehood. Northwestern Wisconsin must make itself felt as a moving force in the revitalization of the spirit of Wisconsin. and the people have a right to look to us for leadership in this great venture. W. R. hauled ntlsmiM and MRS. DAVIES PRESIDENT Six
