Ts ipEALS which the University of Idaho holds up to her students should aid them in developing a loyalty to themselves and a loyalty to the University and State; they should also aid them in maintaining standards which will warrant the Institution’s finest commendations for them as they go out into real service. Since it is true that the highest type of citizenship bears the marks of truth, square dealing, friendship, and virtue of the noblest kind, and that these qualities must be engraved in home and school, the University expects to note these standards before she finally places her stamp of approval. The University awaits the coming of youth, places about them an arm of protection here, and through the years holds them in affection and esteem as she observes them earning their way to places of honor and distinction.

O COMPLETING twenty-five years as Dean of the University Faculty, one’s thoughts turn back inevitably to the faculty and the University of April, 1903. Gone are all but a few stragglers from those lofty sentinel poplars that surrounded the old campus; gone likewise the rugged “Old Guard”’ of the faculty that knew the pioneer days. Increase and progress! We now count more faculty members than there were then collegiate students. No longer far down the list of American Universities, we now are recognized as among the best institutions of the land. A quarter-century ago three newly organized divisions—the Colleges of Letters and Science, Agriculture, and Engineering—and the numerically superior “Prep” constituted t he whole University. None of these had deans till years later. The ‘Purchasing Agent and Registrar’’ made what few scholastic records were kept. All matters of admission, advanced standing, registration, time-table, scholarship, and graduation requirements in all curricula were handled in his class-room by the one and only dean, who still had time to know every student and teach three languages. Good old days! Better new days! Brighter still the days to come! oY. ? 9° Page 27 a ERD
