VOLUME SEVENTEEN FOREWORD Let thy motto onward be!” HEN the Hesperian was first issued seventeen years ago, its primary purpose was to be a chronicle ot the school’s events. Today the book is much larger, and a more elaborate publication, but it still holds to that primary pur-poser frThese, in brief, arc its aims this year: to chronicle school events and to tell, in as connected a form as possible, the progress of the State, the West District, and the City—a City for which we have unbounded respect.

was but LAITE of- me IQhm i ]HlLti Minncapol H a group of buildings around f St. Anthony Falls, back in the hills sparkled a cluster of sky-blue lakes, yet to be seen. The first settlers, compelled by need to settle near the foaming waters, scarcely thought of them. « ....As time passed, huge manufacturing plants were erected near the roaring falls; they took away their beauty and forced the settlers to move toward the lakes. So, for the first time their beauty was discovered and appreciated...Only Lake of the Isles was neglected. A mere pond, it hardly seemed as if it could ever be reclaimed, until one day man conquered nature! A dredge appeared and the pond was transformed into a tranquil, tree-bordered lake, on whose margin beautiful homes were built. ....Just as the lake district has progressed even over Nature's beauty, so has the city moved steadily forward. From a few hamlets by the turbulent river, has sprung a great city, stretching miles into the country. It has become the center of progress and a haven for beauty-seekers. And so we toast: A Greater Minneapolis, a Greater Lake District, and a Greater West!
