EXTRACTED TEXT FROM PAGE:
organization, in the high character of its scientific and instructional activity, shall answer the needs of a great commonwealth like Illinois. We are greatly rejoiced today for the people of this commonwealth that they have advanced to a tine when they recognize the fundamental necessity of all these different elements, and have come to see that agriculture and engineering and architecture and chemistry are no more necessary to the development and preservation of a civilization than are ethics, and literature, and art and the drama. It is because of this fact and because of a growing recognition on the part of everybody in the community, of the essential solidarity of all learning and the essential necessity of developing every possible side of human intellect and human aspiration, that we all come together today on this common ground and rejoice with those who do rejoice on this especial oooasion for the particular advantages which this new addition to our facilities implies. I am sure I speak, therefore, foryevery depart- ment in this University when I say that we rejoice in this new evidence that our engineering college and our engineering experiment station are getting ready to perform a larger service for this institution, for this community, for this commonwealth, for this nation, nay for the world.
