The appropriati-ons for this work were secured through the palti-ent and per- sistent effort of President Salisbury and the I-lon. E. D. Coe, Resident Regent. These successive additions made necessary the addition of the boiler-house wing in l905. Two of these new rooms are used for the Manual Training work of the grades, which was introduced in the previous year. And now a fine new Annex is in process of construction. When this is completed, th-e floor space of the building will have been mul- tiplied by three. - Another notable feature of growth is found in the campus, the most beautiful and carefully kept of any school grounds in the state. They comprise ten acres, situated on a knoll. During President Arey's administration, the walks were laid and the plot of ground b-etween them leveled and were mowed once or twice a year with a scytheg a few trees had also been planted. The remainder of the front lawn was not a lawn at all, but the grass was allowed to grow and was mowed just before Commencement. The rear grounds were burned over every spring to get rid of dead leaves and grass, and the native Hora had become well nigh exterminated. The whole development of the arboreitum idea falls within the past twenty-five years, and today no greater varietty of trees and shrubbery can be found in an equal area in the state. This result has been obtained only after much care and time, and the credit for our beautiful grounds is due mainly to the facft that President Salisbury has devoted both to them. One who knows him well has said: Mr, Salisbury has been conspicuously .able and diligent in the state teachers' association and in the work of institutes. As president of fthe Normal school, he has displayed marked ability as an organizer and director of the work of training teachers. His .experience in the common schools and as institute conn- ductor brought him face to face with the real problems of teaching common schools, and thus equipped him with resources which have been invaluable to the great work he has ac- complished in the school at Whitewater. l-lis strongest characteristics are a firm and .self-reliant individuality, a clear grasp of th-e essence of the leading questions of practical pedagogy and enthusiastic devotion to his calling which at once inspire, and 'encourage his pupils to emulate th-e highest and best ideals of the teacher. -K . 553:5355E-5155-'--:i f. : w,5.5'jfffi'ij.fIf552 .5 .. , . ,f5:5.1,. i'iffiffifi-Sifffiffgi 'f' E2E2S 'E:E::.'1:2:5,- 2-2: -. in I.:-55f5 ,,,.. :.:.1.5.5.,.,:::::,:': . ,.:-:5:,:::-:-.-gs:-5r5:,::5: xref!

I, .N .4 My THE 1910 IVIINNEISKA 5 ever, Gymn-astics was then, as now, a part of the required work. The classes met'be- fore, after school, and in the evenings. At one time, ln the 80 s, a fifteen minute period, 2:45 uto 3:00, was assigned to Hcalisthenics and rest. The exercises were often given in the Assembly Room, th-e students marching up and down and around in the aisles. leader was appointed to the head of each column, who executed whatever movement his fancy for lack of fancy, dictated. Another contrast between the systems of then and now, after regular classes had been organized, is striki.ngly'1llustrated in the dress worn by the ladies. This dress consisted of a short full skirt trimmed with red braldug waislt made with a yoke trimmed with the same materialg loose sleeves banded at the wrist wllth more braidg black trousers gathered at the knee and trimmed with three rows of red braid on the ruffle. Our present Gymnasium was built and a Director of Physical Training employed as a result of the untiring efforts of President Salisbury. l-le secured, almost single- handed, an appropriation of 520,000.00 from the State Legislature in l89l. This money was used in building the Gymnasium and the Wvest Wing, and was the first ap- proprialtion made by our State Legislature to a Normal School. This appropriation made by the last Legislature was S340,000.00 besides 5220000.00 for building purposes. Thus, all of the Normal Sch-ools of the state have been aided in a trangible manner as a result of President Salisbury's single-handed fight to secure our Gymnasium. Again, the present Library and Libr-ary manageme-nt is a revelation in contrast to that of twenty-five years ago. Then the Library-a small room about twenty by thirty- opened into the Assembly Room through an archway. There were no reading tables n-or card catalogues. Th-e books, which were mainly for reference, were arranged -on sh-elves around the room. The student, when in need of on-e of them, went to the sh-elves, helped himself, wrote his name with tha.t of the title of he book on a slip of paper, and dropped it into a tin box through a narrow slit in the cover. At the close of school, these slips were taken up by the President and recorded in a book kept in the President's office. When the student was through with the book, he took it back to th-e President, received his slip, had his name checked off in the record book, and proceeded to the Library with his book. A student of tho-se good old daysn in the course of narrating this system to the writer remarked, There were no more b-ooks, if as many, lost then than nowf' Quiet was supposed to reign throughout this particular hall of knowledge, but it would noit compare favorably with the conditions of the well ordered Library of the present time. The needs of the school have outgrown the capacity of the present Library- once considered so spacious. A fine new Annex is now in process of construction, one Hoor of which will be occupied exclusively by Library III. s The new library will con- tain four rooms an-d have a Hoor space of 68 by 76 feet. We may recount the growth in another wayg i. e., in l885, the number of volumes in the Library was l,586g the present number of volumes is l0,046, with about 3,000 pamphlets and over 5,000 clas- sified pictures. It was not until l899 that the school had a trained librarian, when Miss Lizzie P. Swan was appointed librarian and assistant in English. ' The growth of the school along these lines was of necessity followed by a growth in the building. When Mr. Salisbury came to .lthe presidency, the original main building had received H8761 -one addition, the North Wing. In l89l, the Gymnasium Wing was added. The new rooms added were the drawing room, gymnasiu-m, and three recita- tion rooms. In l897, the main front, which had stood for over thirty years, was torn down and greatly enlarged. The new rooms were the music room, library, the primary rooms, the museum, workshop, physical and biological, laboratories, and ladies' and gentlemens cloak rooms. Aside from an increased Hoor space, many and varied im- PFOVCIIICIIES wlgerli made. .Among oth-er parts of the transformation may be mentioned the Ergfilspaglij she Eirisrijlfeg infftlgs fgontifif the Aslsembly Room, the many pictures .on the decogations. Th tl te e o cel mg, toget er with the color scheme pervading all ese ar 1s1c arrangements have been enjoyed by all who have entered the I6 9 wif, ,aw 'Tw ' .f!.. WV: H.
