Four Score Years . . .

The University of Maine is now embarking on its 81st academic year.

Within the lifetime of men now living the University of Maine—once the State College of Agriculture and Mechanic Arts—held classes for the first time. The institution opened September 21, 1868, with 12 students and two faculty mem­ bers.

Men of vision realized the need for a well- rounded undergraduate program for “the many instead of the few” and the Colleges of Agricul­ ture, Arts and Sciences, Technology, and the School of Education were established. The pro­ gram of Graduate Study and the Summer Session were also added to meet a definite need.

In like manner, the Maine Agricultural Ex­ periment Station, Maine Technolgy Experiment Station, Department of Industrial Cooperation, Pattern FOR THE FUTURE and the Agricultural Extension Service were also Now, as the University goes forward created to meet specific needs. in this 81st year with 4,700 students, the pattern for the future has been set to a great extent by those who have guided its destinies in the past.

These are its general goals: 1. To train undergraduates and gradu- ate students “ in the several pur­ suits and professions in life.”

2. To provide educational opportuni­ ties primarily for all qualified Maine students.

3. To make possible well-rounded programs of study with qualified teachers.

4. To carry on research for the better­ ment of mankind.

5. To give service to the state and nation.

worker knew why he did certain things at certain times then he would be a better worker. If he were told why instead of just told to “do it” ; if he were taught that to turn out second-rate products in­ stead of first grade takes longer; if he knew that poor work on his part affected every other step in the operation, then he would attempt to improve his own work. A series of eleven courses comprised the curriculum. Classes were held from 4 to 6 p.m. each Monday from November to April. Veteran mill workers and be­ ginners enrolled for various courses. “Laboratory” periods in the form of mill tours to see the practices discussed in lecture periods followed the classes. The courses gave the students a broad knowl­ edge of the economic factors of the textile business as well as to give them an idea of the other fellow’s job. The first semester, November to Feb­ ruary, included these courses: Course No. 1—Opening, picking, carding. Course No. 2— Combing, drawing, roving. Course No. 3— Spinning.

Student carrels arc located along the windows of the upper floors and are assigned to students doing research work. On the ground floor in this area are the seminar rooms. The new Plant Science Building will face the Library as soon as the Horticulture Building is moved, and will form the south mall, thus adding considerably to the beauty of the south campus. Visitor/* to the campus have been enthusiastic in their praise of the Library for it gives the University the best in library equipment in a building of attractive design. For the first time in many years, facilities are available for the display of the increasingly valuable University of Maine Collection; a factor which is encouraging many alumni to give items of historical interest to the University.
