A. Mmi than one hundred twenty-five thousand men and women in all parts of the world have derived some of the elements of their success from the educational opportunity given them at Valparaiso. Even in its earlier period the institution outgrew the limits of a normal school. Departments of music and fine art existed from the first. Commercial, collegiate, civil engineering, and law departments were soon added. In 1892 the School of Pharmacy was established. In 1900 the name of the institution was changed to Valparaiso College, and after the addition of other departments the institution was incorporated in 1907 as Valparaiso University. In 1920 the University with all its property Was transferred to a seIf-perpetuating board of trustees as a gift to the cause of education. The institution is not operated for profit7 but in trust for the people. For nearly half a century the Characteristic principles of the institution have been those laid down by Henry Baker Brown at its beginning-hard work, low cost to the student, complete democracy, and the combination of cultural education with definite preparation for a vocation. The present management and the entire faculty are united in the support of these principles and the desire to perpetuate them. In this way the University will remain an enduring monument to the men who made it and an instrument of service to humanity. .. 21 ..
