MEMORIAL ' I ' OWER

Page 9 text:

The history of universities, we have found, is gorgeously rich in scope for the imagination, and our choice has been difficult. Both in historical incident and in decoration, however, we have tried to se- lect that which would trace our own loved Alma Mater back through the ages to the first medieval stirrings, and to contrast our own life and customs with those of the students of our American contempo- raries as well as our intellectual ancestors. We have elected to present those incidents in the history of the University which were significant in their time and which have proved to be the very foundation upon which the institution of universities has been erected. These we have selected as those events which portray the recognition of the economic freedom of the University, and the attainment of the political freedom of the University. With- out these, the University of the past could not have survived, and consequently there would have been no such highly developed Uni- versity of the present. We hope that from this presentation the reader will acquire a fuller appreciation of the modern university, and specifically, the Uni- versity of Missouri.
