Ala. bama, In the year of 1891, had just entered upon its splendid development. But years before this, when Alabana's s legislature was first assembling to provide for the destinics of State, new to the Union, provision had been made for the founding and the estab- lishment of State University, although it was in the year of 1881, before those plans formulated then were carried into eject
 It's Honorable History.
 Tn short the history of the State Uni- versity has been coeval with that of the State of Alabama. The prosperity of the State of Alabama has been the prosperity of the University, the Uni- versity has shared the sorrows of the State and Aiabamn's misfortunes have
 been the misfortunes of the Universl- ty. The rivived prosperity of the State had been the revived prosperity of the University.
 Early and late. in pioneer times. or in modern times, the University has stood for culture for training. for higher education. for lofty ideals.
