rJJke (JJteiiilent For more than I wo decades President E. G. Peterson lias intelligently guided L’tuli State. Under his wateliful eye and controlling hand the institution has (frown steadily until now. its fiftieth birthday anniversary, approximately three thousand students are enrolled and curricula has been enriched and extended to keep pace with the advancements and pyramiding problems ol a mutable world. Conservative, but not so much ns to impede progress; dignified, yet a man who has not lost the common touch. President Peterson exemplifies all that is worth while. The College rellects his personality and his philosophy of life. Graduates in the workaday world are perpetuating his moral principles and democratic philosophies. President Peterson, an ambitious and untiring worker, is representative of and gives meaning to the slogan. Labor is Life.

“JlaJwz u ” An important obligation and privilege at the end ol tlic lirsl fifty years ol our history us a College is to pay tribute to those whose vision made possible the establishment ol the institution. Here we must record the names ol Abraham Lincoln who signed the Federal Act making the College possible. Anthon II. Fund who first conceived such an institution lor our State and who wrote the State Fstablishing Act. and tin? first president Jeremiah W. Sanborn who laid the foundations ol the institution in scholarship and moral quality. I here were others associated with these, and still others who came after, whose devotion ministered decisively to the developing structure of the College. As we who came later read ol them or as we knew them, we take great pride in remembering the nobility which characterized their devotion to the ideal which they saw in the College, essentially an ideal of equality ol opportunity based upon the American political faith as this is based in turn upon a profound spiritual understanding of the dignity of men. however humble. Such a faith imparted dignity to the labor of men. I lie seal of the College containing the sentence. Labor is Life, becomes, therefore, the statement of a great faith, the fundamental concept of democracy itself as it is the basic Christian ethic. Thankful lor our noble past we look forward today to the tasks which a menacing but challenging future sets us to do. I venture the assertion that the solution of these tasks will call for the very qualities of intellectual and moral integrity which this institution and all true education seek to glorify. - E. O. PETERSON
