conquer the sands and rocks of our
burning deserts, and bring into life and
usefulness the beautiful GASES OF the
vest, had demanded that hand in hand
with the erection of the family Preside,
the growth OF our educational institu-

proudly say TO those OF older S5ates:
Behold the fruit of our work; We have
ouilded as you have built" He dwelt
