Expansion A century ago great valleys of purple sage and arid plateaus ol parched weeds, grass and sand comprised the territory of Utah. I o-day these valleys and plateaus arc verdant with vegetation useful to man. The sallying streams have been directed to disseminate their waters to an ever increasing area, causing the broad fields to yield their hidden treasure. The Utah Agricultural College has been a potent factor in the re-creation of these areas and its influence, like the directed streams, has coursed through every head-gate and into every lateral ditch toward new and broader fields. Expansion has always been one of the institution's salient characteristics. This statement can be verified by the mention of a few outstanding facts. Its Extension Div-ison reaches nearly every county in the state. Debating teams, athletic teams. live stock and dairy judging teams have represented the college far outside the bounds of Utah. And finally we may note with pride its recent aims toward a “National Summer School with a faculty consisting of the country's most eminent educators. Thus, the extension of the service to the people of Utah and surrounding states is its constant purpose.
