“Our University is not an accident; it is not a creature of impulse. It is a link in that divine chain of events which holds firmly for the use of today all the good and true of the past. "It is a small college, but there are those who love it,” were the tender words of Daniel Webster in his noted defense of Dartmouth. The love of the loyal friends of the University of Idaho has made possible the progress of the past, and will make possible that greater development which must be commensurate with the other growth of the state it represents. We have made careful, conscientious progress. Unity of aim and purpose, affectionate regard for the traditions of our brief but significant past, pride of student and instructor in preserving the University’s good name have all united to develop it along the lines - not of least resistance - but of the broadest and deepest culture, the most thorough and useful training.“
