The statue is meant to remind us of the determination and dedication that is the foundation of this university, of what it takes to be a true When the residents of Cedar City learned in 1897 that the Utah Legislature had chosen this city as the site for a branch of Utahs teacher training school, they were elated. They were also determined that learning would live forever in their beautiful city. It took three months to get the first building raised, but the state government did not give the building its stamp of approval, saying it needed to be built on land set apart specifically for the school. So the residents of Cedar City had to try again, working through deep snow in the mountains to get the necessary lumber so the school could be built. school took more than a year to The it is history of rest and the history which build, on Founders a once Day, which we celebrate year d. one-buildi- ng took place Wednesday. SUU has only improved since then. We have excellent faculty, students and staff. Its a team g team. effort, and we have an And our students are going places. Some of them, quite literally: we have students in Dubai right now attending a conference, students studying abroad all over the world and English students who recently returned from a conference in New Orleans, to name a mere three. But not everyone is leaving Cedar City; many people are coming to SUU for their experiences abroad. Many SUU students are citizens of other countries and experts from abroad are also coming to our home. Earlier this month, SUU had a choral concert in which SUU students were conducted by a Chinese guest conductor. Did those who came before us think SUU would originally the Branch Normal School become such a haven for learning? It is doubtful. So whos to say that SUU will not continue to astound us? What if this school is still small compared to what it will one day become? What if we are a part of a proud legacy which will continue for generations? Actually, theres no what if about that last question. We are a part of a proud legacy which will affect future generations. Do your part to make that legacy immaculate. Study hard, have fun while you are here, make new traditions and while you work to become someone SUU can always be proud of, help SUU be a place you can be proud of. award-winnin- The opinions expressed above are the collective perspective of the University Journal Editorial Board.
