after speaking of the school lands, rec
o'imended the legislature to further
memorabilia congress for a grant of
100000 acres of land applicable and
available at future day for the en-
dowment of university. The legisla-
turc followed the governors sugg estion
and passed such a memorial Feb, 10.
1851, and OH the 10Th of the same month
congress passed an act granting two
townships (about $4,000 acres) "for the
use and support of university in said
territory" On the 18th of February,
1851, the legislature passed the act con-
stituting the charter of the university.
In 1868 the state legislature passed an
act recognizing and providing for the
government and regulation of the uni
versity and to establish an agricultural
college therein. The university dates
its actual beginning from this act.
One of The first acts of the regents I'M
der this new organization was the pur-
chase of a farm for the agricultural
college. In September, 1S6S.a purchase
of ninety-SiX acres was made. This
land was situated southeast of the
campus anu Only Oue-lOuTtu Vi nile

board of regents for the fiscal year end
ing Dec. y. 1858, it appears that there
were then five instructors employed
and 1909 students in attendance,
all in the preparatory department.. The
year Of 1869 marks the organization of
the university proper; the election of
William NJ. Folwell as president; the
selection of faculty; the beginning OF
university instruction and the enlarge
ment of the university farm by the pur-
chase of thirty acres of land. There
were in attendance during this year
thirteen students in the collegiate de-
partment and 2l7 in the Latin or prepar-

TIE UNIVERSITY.
First and foremost comes the Univer-
sity Of Minnesota. that living monu-
ment to her grandeur. 1t seems in
credible that within so brief a time such
a magnificent achievement could be ac-
complished. No citizen of Minnesota
can visit the university, behold its beau

earnest. intelligent young men and
women engrossed in their studies, with
cut feeling proud of his state. No
stranger to the state could behold such
sight without establishment if he knew
how rapidly this institution had grown.

sketch of lis origin and very brief re-
view OF It's early history may prove In
teresting, for the beginnings OF great
deeds. like the early careers OF great
men. are fraught With interest and In

dividing the upper and lower lakes is
valued at $4,000. OF the lands granted
by congress, the university still possesses
about 81, 900 acres. These lands are
constantly increasing In value, and
when sold, the proceeds will 20 to in
crease the permanent endowment of
the university.
BUILDINGS.
The campus buildings form an at
tractive group. There are ten In all.
The main or academic building was
completed In 1875. 1t is built of blue
sandstone and is three-story structure
with high basement. 1t has frontage
of ninety feet and floor space of about
10000 square feet. The building is &C.
cupied by the general offices of the uni
versity, the library, and the recitation
rooms of the college of seienc, literature
and the arts.
The military building was completed
in 1884. 1t is so constructed as to serve
both as all auditorium and as drill
hall, ana will seat, with comfort, $500
people.
The college of mechanic arts building
was completed in 1856. 1t is two stories
in height with a high basement. AS its
name implies, it is occupied by the en-
gineering departments.
Pilisbury hall was completed in 1889.
This building is the gift of Hon. John
S. PIllsbury to the university aud the
state. 1t is built of stone, has front
age Of 245 feet, is two stories in height,
with high basement, and has a floor
space of 41,000 square feet. Besides
providing for the museums, it affords
ample accommodations for the depart
ments of geology. mineralogy, animal
biology, botany, mining and metallurgy,
and for the geological and natural his
tory survey.

to live less for show and more for SUBJ
stance. There is where the evil lies.
We live too much for others; too much
for the world. We fix up our homes
altogether TO much with the idea Of
either what the outside world will say OF
them or to Guido our neighborS. When
we reach that point where We shall dis
miss little of that OStentatiOn that is
now so prevalent in many of our homes,
we shall not only reach a happier state
for ourselves, but we will remove one
half of the nervous ailments from which
our women are now suffering. It is all
well enough to have a pretty home.
with rooms filed With dainty bric-a-brac.
mirrors, cushions and ornaments of
every sort. But some one must take
care of these things, and generally it IS
not the help we may employ. So far as
the ornamentation of our homes is con-
cerned we are OVERRIDING it in the major
lty OF cases anyway. A room tasteful
IN its rich simplicity is the exception
rather than the rule. The greater part
OF our drawing rooms resemble muse
ums more than anything else, and a
man Is never so comfortable as when he
is out of them. Between kicking some
thing over or knocking something off,
the average mans mind is anything but
a tranquil one in the typical modern
drawing room.

lished under the ,organic act OF 1853.
and was first opened in September,
1860. The spacious building which the

AT MooRHEAD.

The first three normal schools were
located in the southeastern quarter of
the state, the st. Cloud school, the most
northern and western, being IT'S miles
east of the extreme western boundary
of the state and 275 miles south of the
extreme northern boundary. The rapid
growth of the northern part of the state.
and especially the remarkable develop
ment uf the Red river valley, necessi-
tated the establishment of a fourth
normal school. The legislature of 1885
! located the school at Moorhead, provided
that the citizens of the town would do
nate suitable location for the building.
The site, a beautiful tract OF six acres, is
the gift of Hon. S. G. Comstock, of
Moorhead. The legislature of 1887 ap-
propriated $4,000 for a building and
5000 for running expenses. The build
ing was begun in the summer of 1887
and completed in the early autumn of
1883. 1t is one of the most commodious
and beautiful buildings in the North
west. and was completed within the
appropriation.
Though the chief purpose of the nor
NAL schools is to give special instruc-
ton In the science and art of teaching
yet, as in nearly all other normal schools
i'll the country, a thorough system of
academic instruction is at once the
basis, and to large extent the medium,
OF professional instruction.
