THE FIRST QUARTERS OF THE UNIVERSITY

From Small Beginnings

Thirty years ago in a borrowed building with a faculty of seven the doors of the State University of Montana were thrown open for the first time and during that first year instruction was given to a total of 135 students, all but a few of whom were reg­ istered in the academic department. Missoula county had voted a special tax for the purpose of completing thfe South Side school building (pictured above) for the free use of the University until a University building could be constructed. For four years the Uni­ versity occupied these temporary quarters. The campus site was donated to the state by Edward L. Bonner and Frances G. Hig­ gins of Missoula. In 1897 the legislature authorized the issuance of bonds to the amount of $100,000 and from the funds thus acquired University Hall and Science Hall were constructed. In 1899 the State University occupied its permanent quarters. Craig Hall and the W om en’s Gymnasium were constructed in 1901 and the Library building, which is now occupied by the Law School, was completed in 1907. During the period from 1895 to 1912 the average enrollment of resident students was between two and three hundred students; the faculty slowly grew to 35; maintenance expenditures increased from twelve to ninety-four thousand dollars. Two degrees were granted in 1898 at the first commencement, and the number of degrees granted yearly grew irregularly until in 1911-12 thirty were granted. Beginning with the year 1912-13 the increase in students, faculty, maintenance ex­ penditures and degrees granted became marked and constant. There are now twelve buildings of instruction on the campus. There are also other buildings such as the Music Practice House, three dormitories, a store, a carpenter shop, and heating plant. Total maintenance expenditures now amount to about $450,000 a year, and there are over one hundred on the staff. Resident students in 1926-27 numbered 1874 and in addition 528 took advantage of correspondence study courses. At the commencement in June, 1927, 210 degrees were granted. The State University of Montana is a class “A” college, accredited by the Association of American Universities and a member of the North Central Association of Colleges and the American Council of Education. It is no longer a small institution but has become one of the n a tio n ’s larger institutions of higher education. THE MONTANA ALUMNUS 5 Largest Homecoming in University’s GjC4'f History Planned for October 14 - (From an interview with George R. Shepard, ’21, Homecoming Chairman for 1927.) EDITOR’S NOTE: Mr. Shepard is the President of the Alumni-Challenge Field Corporation and was of great service to the University during the last session of the legislature. He was appointed Chairman of the 1927 Homecoming by the Executive Committee of the Alumni Asso­ ciation and the President of the University. A well-balanced program of receptions, dinners, dances, meetings, and a football game and parade is gradually coming into form for the Alumni of the State University when they meet again on the campus at Missoula on October 14-15. Beginning with an S. 0. S. at 7:30, Friday evening, October 14, the Home­ coming program will continue through Saturday and Saturday evening. The Alumni dinner will be held in the dining room of the new dormitory, Corbin Hall, which was completed last January; the dance will be held in the big gym which will be elaborately decorated for the occasion; and the Homecoming rrame will be played on the new Dornblaser field which the Alumni have planned, financed, and brought almost to completion. But the best feature of the Homecoming is that von will be here under the shadow of old Mt. Sentinel, and hundreds of your friends and fellow Alumni will be here, too. Old friends, old times, and old scenes will be the central theme of the Homecoming, and you will be swept back into the spirit of your college days. The S. 0. S. The first event of the Homecoming at which old friends will gather will be the Singing-on-the-Steps of old Main Hall Friday evening—a few words by prominent Alumni, a few cheers and songs, and then, after the tower clock has struck eight, the singing of “College Chums.” A reception by President and Mrs. Clapp from 8:00 to 10:30 and reunions of fraternities and sororities beginning at 8:30, will follow. The program for Saturday will begin at 9:30 a. m. with get-togethers of the Alumni with faculty members in the various schools and departments, the busi­ ness meeting of the Alumni Association will be held at 10:30, and the Home­ coming Day Parade will begin at 11:30. The Big Game The game with the University of Washington will begin at 2:00 p. m. There will be student stunts between halves. October 14 will be the first time that the University of Washington, the oldest and largest University of the Northwest, has left its home field to engage the Grizzlies. The new Dornblaser field is in readiness for the greatest conflict ever witnessed at the State Uni­ versity. The Alumni Dinner The big Alumni dinner will be held at Corbin Hall at 6:15 Saturday eve­ ning. There will be a few words by well-known figures on the campus, but there will be nothing formal about the program. ^ At 9:00 p. m., the Homecom­ ing program will close with a dance in the Men s Gymnasium. “Come Home at Homecoming” But this is your Homecoming; it will not be a success unless you and a thousand others are present, for it takes old friends and old faces as well as old scenes to make a Homecoming. 6 THE MONTANA ALUMNUS 1927 HOMECOMING AT A GLANCE

The Alumni Association has gone to a great deal of trouble and expense to plan and prepare a complete filing system in order to improve the efficiency of the Alumni service. Besides, with the rapidly growing body of Alumni, the new system will be almost indispensable in editing and mailing THE MON­ TANA ALUMNUS.

IF YOU HAVE NOT DONE SO BE SURE TO FILL OUT AND RETURN THE RECORD CARDS IMMEDIATELY

This file should be complete before the opening of the University next fall so that it may be used in sending out the Homecoming announcements and the next issue of THE MONTANA ALUMNUS.

THE FOLLOWING ALUMNI HAVE BEEN “LOST.”

DO YOU KNOW WHERE THEY ARE?

We have no addresses for these graduates of the University. If you hap­ pen to know where they may be reached, help us complete our files by send­ ing in their names and addresses.

FRESHMAN WEEK ~ An Introduction to University Life The transition from secondary school to University is, under the most favorable circumstances, difficult. To prevent the mistakes and misconceptions so frequently made on entrance into the University the faculty has instituted a “Freshman Week.” A program has been arranged for the first five days of the autumn quarter which will be supervised by the faculty, the administration, and the upperclass students.
