Show 74 U. of U. Chronicle Year Book confess this, however, it must not be thought that we propose now to occupy a second place to the Engineering Society. Once a little boy began to roll a snowball down a hill. It soon grew so large that the little fellow rolled over the ball and it rolled over him. Now, it is not our desire to crush or dampen, in the least, the energies of the Engineers, who set us rolling, neither do we propose to be inferior to them, or behind them, in any respect. It is, in fact, our aim to be the leading organization in the University. The School of Arts and Sciences is acknowledged to be "the chief of the three schools now comprising the University of Utah" (U. of U. Bulletin). Furthermore, it is the department which represents the highest and broadest ideals of education and culture, and it was with a view of asserting and defending this dignified position, and with a desire to do everything in our power to further the best interests of our college, that we organized. One specific object which we hope to be able to accomplish, is the improvement of our library, which, although fairly good, is certainly not what the library of a great University should be. This part of the equipment is to the college what laboratories, shops, machinery, and tools are to the Mining School, and we feel that it has not received the attention which it deserves. Our organization has resulted in good to the University, as a whole, by increasing activity among the students. The heightened enthusiasm at our recent student meetings, resulting from the rivalrv between the Arts students, the Engineering Society, and the Normal School organization, has been very marked, and we hope it may continue. We wish it to be understood, however, that we do not desire to interfere in any way with the important function of class organizations. Polloi, Polu, Polloi, Polu, Arts and Science, Warsity. |
