We are here this afternoon TO take part in
stanford day at The Midwinter Fair. 1t is a
happy thought, l think, to bring the university
into contact with these things that have been
made and that have form; that men can touch
and see-these traDsmutatlons OF the imagna-
tive and inventive into the material. the practi-
cal. We cannot get along very well without
thlS combinations; and II Is good thing for the
Instructors and the teachers TO come 10 a great

where the machinery and he textile fabric and
the WORKS of art have taken form. l have
