brates Twenty-Fourth
+ Charter Day.


-----
''The University of Montana Is
more than brick and and stone; it
is mind and soul and character.
The light bearing instrument may
be here in Missoula, but the light
itself is diffused throughout the
whole state and nation, and will
be more and more, as the years
come and go. II this university
has not a faculty already in every
part of this state. teaching men in
better thinking and nobler living,
1t will have such q faculty bye and
bye. in the ever increasing body
Of it's graduates. and the measure
OF its educational ministry and
influence will 80 extend into the
infinite reaches Of life and into all
the generations to come. May your
your measurable dimensions in
crease more and more until your
needs are all met and your dreams
and pans all fulfilled but, espe.
dimensions increase exceeding
abundantly above all that we can
ask or think.
That passage characterizes the
Charter day address delivered yester-
day morning by DR.. J. N. Maclean,
pastor of the Presbyterian church. at
the State University. DR.. Maclean's
address was scholarly, interesting and
to the point.
Education Deprived.

ment made by the speaker in regard
to the finances of the university. Up
to the present time, he said, the APP
preparations made for the State Uni
versity have amounted to a million
and quarter dollars roughly speak
ing. The first of the appropriations
was $1,000. Since the time that this
was made, each year has seen an in
crease, until the last one was more
than % times greater than the orig
inal. But this increase has not been
in proportion to the great increase
which has been going on in the state
in population and in wealth.
Said the speaker in closing:
without jealousy, without pettish-
ness, without faltering, with good ma
ture and good Judgment and good rea-
son, with charity for all and malice to-
ward none. with imagination and faith
and largeness of view, we must insist
ity must be built until it becomes
pride and glory in the state

the advantages which the chancellor
