Show The Future of the B. Y. U. By F. S. HARRIS, President the Brigham Young University. The outlook for a great institution at the Brigham Young university has never been so promising as it is at the present time. During the last two or three years the land holdings of the institution have been very much enlarged so that now the strategic places that are so important to the growth of a greater institution are in its possession. This is fortunate in a growing city where it would be easy to cramp an institution if it did not, in advance, adequately provide for itself. , Never in the history of the institution has there been such a large number of scholarly young people who are well prepared to go forward in collegiate work. These students come from many communities in a number of states and they represent some of the best possibilities for leadership that can be found in the west. The material equipment of the institution' is being rapidly improved so that now all may find excellent instruction instruc-tion in all the ordinary university branches. The future is unusually bright because of two main conditions: First, those who are sponsoring the institution have made up their minds to build here a great training center and are prepared to make the investment necessary to accomplish accom-plish this result. Second, the good name of the institution is spreading abroad and the brightest of young men and women are being attracted to it; hence the two .conditions necessary to build an excellent institution the institution itself and its student body are at hand. . The faculty is rapidly being augmented by men trained in the better institutions of this country and Europe and the standards of the university are now up to the best institutions institu-tions in the land, so that graduates of the Brigham Young university are receiving recognition wherever they go. No one who is familiar with the detailed working of the university univer-sity can fail to be highly enthusiastic over the outlook. |
