IU) HI ; | ' AAA HIIIII il | IAT {| Tr : hes a nee | =a” al i == f, : Unity for Idaho DAHO is endowed with vast material resources. The potential wealth in minerals, forests, and soil is beyond computation, But Mae nature has conspired against the unity of her people. Huge mountains, deep canyons, and vast distances sunder communities. As a friendly observer put it, ‘Idaho socially is a series of islands.” Just as the obstacles to a material conquest were overcome by a mighty race of pioneers, so the obstacles to social and political unity challenge us. How can this unity of the people of Idaho be attained? First, by railways and good highways. The development of the mineral wealth of the state may in time be counted upon to bring the railways. Mean- while, education must be the chief reliance as the bond of union. Cecil Rhodes was one of the supreme empire builders of his day. He saw in education the cement of empire. His statesmanship found perhaps its highest expression in his provision for the Rhodes scholar- ship whereby the promising youth, the future leaders of the colonies and of the United States, could live and study together in the same uni- versity. These choice young men were to saturate themselves with the great traditions and ideals of the British nation. Best of all, they were to enjoy acquaintance with one another and to attain mutual under- standing. The method that served Britain in building an empire can serve Idaho in building a commonwealth. Our state enjoys an unified policy of public education. Idaho has the advantage, moreover, of an unified State University. Most of the great vocations are represented in the respective professional schools. The vision and ideals of modern civili- zation find expression in the course of study in the College of Letters and Sciences. The ideals of service and of citizenship for Idaho and the Nation are within its walls. In increasing number the future leadership of the State is being trained at the University. Intellectual and personal efficiency in the light of the best modern knowledge are among the aims of the educational program of the University. Through its agencies, Science, which is the chief victor in the present war, finds a home. The social spirit, the larger conception of fellowship and of team work, is taught and practiced in this University of the people. The University thus becomes an indispensable organ of the higher life of the State. The University of Idaho, loyal to these conceptions, seeks to be the instrument for the development for the unity of the people of the State. It calls upon every loyal son and daughter of Idaho for cooperation in this great enterprise. “Idaho” for Idaho! é: : : President. Page 12 —— MII MMII Il | AUMMHUINU AINSI HII |

; iti Wy ! itl | IMINO AUT th l ee lll TT i nt ENT OF Tite MOUNTAINS) Alma Mater Idaho ce story of the founding and growth of the University of Idaho is a story of constant struggle, but of constant progress. Founded at the time when Idaho was just assuming the dignity of Statehood, it received its full share of trials and disturbances concomitant with establishment of the commonwealth. The founding of the University was authorized by Act of Legislature in 1889, and during the fall of that year the contract for the first “Ad” building was let. It was not until three years later, however, that the University of Idaho formally opened its doors to the students of the State. Franklin B. Gault was president of the University, and he and one other professor constituted the faculty. The student body proper numbered six. The first graduating class was in 1896. From this time on the University enjoyed a steady, sure growth. The curriculum was enlarged and the faculty was increased to adequately care for the growing student body. In 1898, President F. B. Gault was succeeded by President James P. Blanton, who held that office until 1900, when James A. McLean was chosen to direct the affairs of the University. Advent of President McLean began a new era for Idaho—the Uni- versity took a “place in the sun. This period was not without its set- backs, however, for in 1906 the Administration building was burned. This was replaced in 1909-10 by the new Administration building. In 1909 the College of Law was added to the University organization, and has enjoyed a steady growth. In 1914, Dr. M. A. Brannon was selected to succeed President Mc- Lean, who had resigned, and under his leadership the work done by his predecessors came to fruition. It was during his administration that the University gained recognition as an institution fostering the best in scholastic attainment. Her work was accepted by the leading universi- ties, and her graduates were recognized as qualified and competent men and women. Dr. E. H. Lindley was chosen by the Board of Education to succeed President Brannon upon his resignation in 1917, and the period of his administration has already been as distinctive for its growth and advance- ment as that of his predecessors. For the first time a unity of purpose prevails among all connected with the school. Improvements and addi- tions to the equipment have been made. This, then, is the history of Idaho. It divides itself into eras, each corresponding to the administration of the presidents, and each marked y progress. May it ever be thus.
