In a few moments, ground is to be broken for a new college building to be named for Lou Henry Hoover. We may think of her vaguely as one apart, above, as mistress of the White House and wife of the great president, Herbert Hoover. I hope that we shall come to know her more intimately; that somehow, the richness of her spirit may fill these new halls and quicken the lives of students through centuries to come. Mrs. Hoover's father was the first banker of Whittier. As a girl, she had a pony and galloped gayly over these Puente Hills. As a student in the first academy here, she was always originating activities, filling a rather quiet rustic little town with varied interests. She was a student, too, writing an essay that won first place in the academy contest and publication in the local newspaper. But then the boom ended. There was no more money for a banker and no academy. The family moved north and Lou Henry went to Stanford. There she met and married a young engineer. She shared all the wide interests of her husband. She was with him in China where he was developing mining interests. Reports have returned of an incident there which those who knew her as a girl may well believe. The Boxer Rebellion broke loose and mobs were wreck- ing homes and business of foreigners. Mrs. Hoover was in another part of the city when the rioting started. She caught a ricksha, made the runner race across the city to her home, confronted the mob, and, by sheer force of will, drove them off and saved the property. She joined her husband in humanitarian relief in Europe after the first World War and then became the First Lady of the land. On the way to assume her duties of that position, she stopped at Whittier College to receive the honorary degree of Doctor of Literature, and, after several years, accepetd a place on the Board of Trustees of Whittier College. But still she had been unable to spend any time at the college that we might really know her. It became my privilege to arrange such a visit. At last, she called me long distance one night and said she could reach the college at nine o'clock the next morning. There was no sleep for me that night! Elaborate plans for her reception, dignitaries to meet her, opportuni- ties for her to speak at the college, and perhaps a city-wide program— Herbert and Lou Henry Hoover all had to be arranged. I had built up a picture of a grand lady, dominating the scene, and graciously condescending to common people. Trembling, I met the auto at Founders Hall at nine o'clock. We iqod!b'a.

Certainly, it was So I slipped out and got word to the glee clubs, and they sang and evident that Whittier could not support any school there was a bit of a college rally.
