DEDICA TION fyo •Pej'ts.r UBBAIU) has said that “a hundred point man is one who is true to every trust, who keeps his word, who is loyal to the firm that employs him, who does not listen for insults nor look for slights, who carries a civil tongue in his head, who is polite to strangers without being ‘fresh who is considerate towards servants, who is moderate in his eating and drinking, who is willing to learn, who is cautious and yet courageous.” Hundred-point men may vary much in ability, but this is always true: they are safe men to deal with, whether drivers of drays, motermen, clerks, cashiers, engineers or presidents of colleges. The Class of Nineteen Hundred Ten has dedicated the Buzzer to one whom we consider a hundred-point man. The Honorable Jeremiah Wilson Sanborn of New Hamphire, came to the Agricultural College November 16th, 1889, as Director of the Experiment Station, and became President of the Faculty May 17th, 1890. During his career at this college, he steadily pushed forward, developing and expanding the work of the different departments, always being successful in whatever he undertook. Success is in the blood. There are men whom nothing can keep down. They march forward in a jaunty manner and take, seemingly by divine right, the best of everything that the earth affords. Their success, however, is attained neither by scheming, feigning nor adapting their sails to catch the breeze of popular iavor. Thoroughly alive to all good, they just appropriate it. when it comes near, and move steadily on. It has been said that “they have achieved success who have lived well, laughed often, and loved much; who have gained the respect of intelligent men and the love of little children; who have filled their niche and accomplished their tasks; who have left the world better than they found it, whether by an improved poppy, a perfect poem, or a rescued soul; who have never lacked appreciation of Earth’s beauty nor failed to express it; who have always looked for the best in others and given the the best they have; whose life has been an inspiration; whose money a benediction. Measured by this standard Sanborn’s life has been a successful one. His influence has been felt in all departments of the institution and always for good. Though many years have passed since his interests were entirely centered here, and but few remain in the College who worked with him, he is gratefully remembered by all as the one who first influenced the students of the Agricultural College of Utah to think nobly and independently keeping ever in view the better positions in life. 5

GREETINGS The Junior Class of 1909 | resents, to ail who arc interested, the Buzzer, tlie first Year-Book of the Agricultural College of I’tah. The light rainbow side of life is evanescent. Time bedims the many 'experiences that make up that delightful something named “college atmosphere ’ The attempt,therefore, has been made to make the Buzzer a College record, to which the students of nineteen hundred nine may turn, when reminiscent, and enjoy the events which made school days the happiest in life: the sweet innocence of the freshman, the careless swagger of the sophomore and the deep importance of the senior. We enter college, however, to learn how to do things. This accounts for the prominence given to the vvork-a-clay side of the Buzzer. We have been eager to show the real work done here, as a whole, in a way that will be pleasing and instructive to the student body and the friends of the College. Have we succeeded? In answering this question, we know the reader will remember that: “Whoever thinks a faultless piece to see, Thinks what ne’er was, nor is, nor e'er shall be.” The literature of the volume, however, should be fresh and sweet, for the whole attempt is an innovation, and as such, the Buzzer will doubtless make a strong appeal. Finally, we wish to thank all persons who have, in any way, helped to make this book a worthy representative of the Agricultural College of Utah.
