Submerged in the problems of the year that are magnified in comparison with the petty everyday problems demanding imme­ diate solution it is easy for the school or college executive to become impatient, or even dubious with regard to the progress of formal education, particularly of his own school or college. A long look backward as well as forward should be taken occa­ sionally for reassurance and encouragement. No better day could be chosen to look backward over the history of the State Univer­ sity of Montana than its Charter Day, February 17. Governor J. E. Kickards approved the act of the State Legis­ lature creating the University on February 17, 1893. Two years later, as announced in the first catalogue, “the elegant and com­ modious South Side Public School building erected and completed at a cost of about $19,000.00 was turned over for the free use of the University while the University buildings were being con­ structed on the campus site. The first year 135, mostly prepara­ tory. students were enrolled. They were taught by a staff of Pres. G. H. Clapp. seven, organized into six departments, President Oscar J. Craig teaching history and literature. During the third school year, 1898-99, two buildings on the campus were completed and formally accepted on the sixth charter day. That year 206 students were enrolled, GO being of college rank,, and six de­ grees were granted. The teaching staff had grown to thirteen, organized into 10 depart­ ments and the expenditure ror maintenance was nearly $25,000, just twice as much as during the first year. Nine years later, the University, still under the leadership of Presi­ dent Craig, celebrated the fifteenth anniversary of its founding. That year, 1907-08, the institution was housed in four buildings; had a teaching staff of thirty, organized into 15 departments and a School of Engineering, spent nearly $60,000.00 for maintenance, enrolled 291 students, only 68 of whom were preparatory students, and granted 23 degrees. The next 10 years were truly eventful, in spite of too rapid changes of administration. The preparatory school and the school of engineering were discontinued but the schools of law. pharmacy, forestry, journalism, and music and the summer session were added. Within three days of the twentieth Charter Day, February 14, 1913. the State University at Missoula was combined with the State College of Bozeman, the State School of Mines at Butte, and the State Normal College at Dillon into the University of Montana; although the “greater University” was not actually organized until 1915 when Edward C. Elliott was appointed Chancellor. At the end of the ten years, therefore, on the twenty-fifth Charter Day, the State University was organized almost as it is today as a part of the University of Montana with a college of arts and sciences of 16 departments, and five professional schools. The only changes in organization since then has been the addition of the de­ partment of military science and the affilited school of religion, and the reorganization of the department of business administration into a professional school. During the year 1917- 18 the amount spent for maintenance was in excess of $200,000.00, the teaching staff num­ bered sixty* 829 resident students were enrolled and were taught and housed in five build­ ings, and 64 degrees were granted. During the ten years which have elapsed since 1918 the State University, somewhere nearly adequately financed for the first time by the passage at the general election of No- vember. 1920, of a mill tax and bond issue for the entire University of Montana, has grown in size and power. The plant consists on the thirty-fifth charter day, February 17. 1928, of 21 buildings, 13 of which are permanent brick buildings. The faculty numbers just 101, the budget calls for an expenditure for maintenance of $463,000 for the year 1927-28, approximately 1900 resident students will have been enrolled during the year, and nearly 250 degrees will have been granted. Material progress has certainly been made at the State University of Montana. To measure the mental and spiritual progress is far more difficult. There has been a defi­ nite, although fluctuating, increase in the percentage of students who receive their degrees as there has been a definite attempt to increase the scholastic requirements for the de­ gree. By the end of this year over 2,000 graduates, nearly 1,500 having graduated in the last 10 years, will have entered into the adult life of Montana and neighboring states. Whether or not there has been real mental and spiritual progress will not be discovered until some years hence when the character of the culture built by these graduates will be known. 4 THE MONTANA ALUMNUS Summer Experiences in a Western School MRS.
