To the President of the University, a non-teohnioal ::^ at the head of a technical institutiot , and yot ;.r intensely practical and in a sense a great engineer, T need not remind you that while the State encourages and demands the development of those departments which stand for the professions, the humanities and the finer arts, it is primarily "for the study of those practical problems relating to its intense industrial life that the University has been founded and developed. A university is an aggregation of schools and colleges, representing a diversity of lines of intellectual endeavor, each of which contributes in its own peculiar way to the life and to the living of the people, and harmoniously combine as one great uplifting force. It has been the pleasure of the Board during the past few montl to place under your charge, in addition to those older departments and buildings, Lincoln Hall, the College of Medicine, the Commerce Building, and now this engineering group. Tt is your duty, and happily your ability, to weave all of these functions into one grand symposium of which the departments which we honor this day shall be a strong fundamental tone.
