l>car Editor,
Hope you will excuse this im­provised
stationery, but consider­ing
we situation, you will under­stand.
Last night I went through Hell
on earth, a Hell that i ihau j.ever
forget. The stage was a typical
No Man’s Land, it was well-lighted
with tracer bullets and the sound
effects were carried out with pre­cision
timing. There were hundreds
in this cast, and I, a red-headed
private, helped to bring down the
curtain on the second act. Any
minute now the curtain is going up
for the third act and on the stage
we go again to show a few million
flat headed critics that they should
think before they judge.
While I ’m sitting here waiting
for my cue to take my place in
all the filth and mire, I'm enjoying
those few minutes that every thes-pin
enjoys. Minutes where I keep
looking back and enveloping the
fact that once I was a human and
now I’m just a target with an
open-moutned fox-hole for a home.
I'm looking back now, Editor, and
that's why fm writing this letter.
Remember those mghts in the
College Inn where we laughed at
everything and anything. Why, I
can still see those darn freshmen
stabbing their ankles so %ve could
dish out the swatts— those silent
scconds before each meal—cleanup-day
when the campus got a real
re-conditioning—those musicals in
the North Lounge— snow on the
Frisco Peaks glistening in thq sun­light—
the blue and gold “A " on
old Main that stands for Arizona
State, Achievement. America, Home
of the Lumberjacks. And Whis­pering
in the library when U should
be studying—donning a tie on Sun­day.
Pine limbs bearing up with
their bnrden of snow—those glori­ous
trips in Blue Boy to beat the
stuffings out of a grid challenger-having
heart to heart talks w’ith
Dean Bellwood—the lump in my
throat and the tears in Mother
Hanley’s eyes every Mother's Day
when she was given the traditional
red roses. Nights made lor con­versation
on second floor Taylor—
the Chain Gang 13—snow parties
at the Bowl. Thais what I ’m re­membering
tonight:
December 7—induction—turning
station that sang “Hail Alma
Mater" and I knew then I ’d be
■back, that just a few Orientals and
their stooges wem’t going to stop
me. Then there is Homecoming, the
most important event in the annual
history of A. S. T. C. Tonight I'm
remembering those days of honw-coming.
Speeches by the alumni
and football heroes— the Saturday
morning parade, handclasps and
hearty welcomes— crowning the
•queen—the freshmen became full-ilodged
Lumberjacks. The Home­coming
bonfire was a project of>
many weeks and then with the
touch of a match the world knew
that the “ Lumberjacks were at
Home tonight.” The only' light
that I have seen that even resem­bles
that fire is the one that the
Grand Old Lady was holding up
as we steamed out of New York

45th A n n iv e r s a ry
The yrigin of Uic Arizona State
Teachers College, Flagstaff, is as
unique as the state itself. In 1893,
the Seventeenth Territorial Legis­lature,
through the efforts of Gov­ernor
N. O. Murphy, created a new
territorial institution and designat­ed
Flagstaff as its location. That
institution was a Reform School
and for its construction $35,000.00
was appropriated. The Atchison,
Topeka, and Santa Fe Railroad
Company donated land and the cen­tral
portion of the present Main
Building was built with red sand­stone
being used for the exterior
walls.
The residents of Flagstaff were
not pleasod with the purpose of
the institution, so the Nnineteenth
Territorial Legislature in 1897 des­ignated
that the institution should
be an Insane Asylum and appro­priated
$18,000.00 for construction
purposes. Some interior construc­tion
was started, but the still dis-
Northern Arizona Normal School
E. E. Ellenwood of Bisbec and
M. J. Riordan of Flagst&ff per­suaded
the Twentieth Territorial
Legislature (1899) to turn over
the buildings, grounds, and unex­pended
funds to the Normal School
Board of the territory, thus creat­ing
the Northern Arizona Normal
school. With the $20,000.00 re­maining
from appropriations, class­rooms
and corridors were built;
and on September 11, 1899, the
Northern Arizona Normal School
opened with Professor A. N. Taylor
as President and Miss Fanny Bury
as assistant. There were twenty-three
students in attendance the
first week and ten more were add­ed
the following week.
In 1901, four young women made
up the graduating class. They had
completed a combined secondary
and college curriculum covering
five years of work. They were
awarded elementary diplomas war­ranting
a life certificate to teach
in the schools of Arizona.
In 1902-03, the en^tollment was
41. There were four instructors.
A residence was secured for a
women’s domitory and a training
school had been established, o'
A State Teachers College
The growth of the institution in
enrollment and educational influ­ence
induced the Legislature to
change the institution from a Nor­mal
School to a Teachers’ College
in 1925, with authority to grant
the degree of Bachelor of Arts in
Education.
An Accredited Institution
In 1928 and 1930, respectively,
the college was accepted for mem­bership
by the American Associa­tion
or Teachers Colleges and the
North Central Association of Col­leges
and Secondary Schools. The
Legislature authorized granting of
the degree of Master of Arts in
Education in 1937.
The Main Building was the first
constructed. From time to time,
it has had some slight alterations
and additions. From 1902-07, both
Taylor Hall and Bury Hall were,
constructed. The latter had a third
floor added in 1930.
The period from 1911-1923 saw
