Z, , . QP 47? ibut Ahminiatratinn Euilhingn What does the new Administration building mean to the Normal? What will it mean to the future of our school? These are the questions which every loyal student has often considered. A few months ago we saw on our campus piles of brick, lumber and tile, heaps of sand and blocks of marble and stone. Now these have all disappeared and in their place we see the Hnished structure. Each brick and block of stone, has found its allotted place and fulfilled its purpose. Does this mean that our building is simply an organized collection of brick, lumber and stone? ls it simply a heap of material? view, this edifice existed even before all this Every window, every door, every room and every ornament had received definite place on the blue-prints of the architect.

But do we mean no more than the apartments, rooms and hallways when we speak of our new building? Surely ittjlias a deeper, more lasting significance than this. For several years now our president and the men and women at the head of this institution have been planning and dreaming of the time when such a building might be possible. It has required much foresight, labor, and patience on the part of the president! to bring his dreams and aspirations to a realization. In it are embodied his hopes, ambitions, and even prayers for the welfare and success of our institution. There have been times when the clouds of disappointment and failure were all too heavy and foreboding, but by patience and perse- verance they were driven back and our new building has become an actuality. This building spells growth for the Normal and proves that the Wayne State Normal is a live, progressive institution. It also spells hope for the future and gives a reliable assur- ance of years of successful service. We also see reflected here the high ideals and ambitions of the people of Northeast- ern Nebraska in educational lines. There was a time in the history of the state, not so very many years ago, when Nebraska's only educational provision consisted of scattered one-room country schools. Now it demands for its youth, and is willing to provide, the best advantages possible. This building is an indication of the importance Nebraska attaches to the educational training of her sons and daughters. Finally, this building is a lasting monument of the donation of the present generation to the principles of education. For not only will this building serve this generation, but will continue as an inspiration and aid to those who shall follow. Thus this valuable ma- terial and equipment, destined to serve its purpose and fall into decay, symbolizes the spiritual struggles and ideals of the present generation and renders possible a noble service to thousands yet unborn. 1915 ff Q Nine

We dwelt with Alma Mater, At the home we love so well, And it's oh! in our hearts That her praise our lips might tell. O where, and O where is your class of 'I5 gone? O where, and O where have those worthy Seniors gone? We've gone to prove the fame Of the Normal on the hill, And it's oh! in our hearts, That we might be with her still.
