that it should have the cordial CO.
operation of all the people of the COM
munity"
DR.. Gammage in introducing Dean
Lockwood, said he'd heard it reported
that in Berlin, Germany, there is a
greater collection of Arizona things
than in any museum in this state.
Dean Lockwood said he could not
but be amazed at the marvellous
growth and Improvement in Flagstaff
since he first visited here nine years
ago. Flagstaff is the summer cap
ital of the state, and Tucson is the
winter capital" he said. He enum-
Grated some of the many improve
ments in the last very few years
the wonderful water supply, the new
hotel, city park, the depot, the high
school, many fine new homes.
Flagstaff is absolutely unsurpassed
hin all the world,' he said, ''for scenic
marvels and summer climate. 1t is
impossible that in the future you
should not build much more rapidly
than you realize. What you need is
vision to see beforehand what is to
happen here; intelligent leadership to
! lead to the desired objectives; cooper
alton, working together and not pull
ing in different directions. There
need be no limit within reason to the
charm and richness and material ben
eft of progress here in the next 10
years. 1t is logical, almost inevitable,
that Flagstaff should have this mu-
scum.
| Flagstaff is better situated for a
cultural center than is Santa Fe. You
have more interesting and more mag
nificent scenery, in greater variety,
and better climate"
DR.. Lockwood toldNhow a city beau
fification program had in six years
changed Pasadena from a sprawlng,
ugly, overgrown village to a surpass-
!ingly beautiful city, famed interna-
tionally as cultural center
A museum building should be of a
type adapted to its surroundings,
Dean Lockwood said; that is, either
pueblo or of the heavy rustic type
appropriate to the surrounding for
est.
Of the help museum would get
from the outside, DR. Lockwood re-
minded his hearers that at the regular
Rotary meeting here the preceding
Tuesday there were eight deans from
institutions Of higher learning and Ia
scientists. Flagstaff is coming
more and more to the attention Of sci
entists and artists" he said. "In the
next few years 25 or 80 more of them
will have summer homes here, as Dr.
Harold S. Cotton, a distinguished sci
enlist, and his wife, one of the most
marvellous artists in America, already
| have. Soon this will be a natural
scientific and art center"
The speaker told about looking out
across town from the college two
years ago and wishing he were a mil
I lionaire and could afford to spend a
hundred thousand dollars tearing
down the "frightful exerescences' -
the old shacks and barns-in view
and making the area between the coll
lege and the railroad beauty spot
He had noted great improvement
since, but there are several of these
''excrescences" yet, which could be
eradicated with a little foresight, a
little generosity and a little money.
'sThe view from the college is mag
nificent," he said, "but there are eye
sores in the foreground which should
be removed"
Concluding, he said that he believed
an all-Arizona summer school here is
inevitable and that he believes it can
and will be made the most wonderful
in America.
Judge Ross spoke of his pleasure in
being back here, where he first To-
Gated in this state, January 1, 1886,
and he recalled many of the pioneers,
some of whom, notably T. A. Riordan,
Ed McGonigle and Af Dickinson,
We're present. He touched upon the
