A Prominent Force.
“Here has the University stood and
grown great; one of the permanent
forces of this State and of this na
tion; enduring in the midst of change,
steadfast in dark days and in bright,
a lasting inspiration for faith and
loyalty and love. She has become
one of those durable' realities ’to
which men cling amid a world of
change; generations have lifted up
their eyes to her as to the everlast-
faith, and vision, and high purpose.
It is an era which takesf its poifit
of departure from a declaration of
faith on the part of this State of
North Carolina; a declaration of
faith in higher education and in this
University.

and we dedicate ourselves to anew to
what is Jet to be.
“If this be true of all our anniver- ;
saries, it is especially so today, when
we are met hereto celebrate both the
beginning of the r material existence
of this University, and the inaugura- ■
tion of a definite programme for its .
physical remaking. The beginning
of its material existence—for one i
hundred and twenty-eight years ago
today, William Richardson Davie,;
founder and father of this Universi- j
ty, in nis capacity as Grand 'Master i
of the Masons, laid the cornerstone |
of the Did East Building, oldest of
the structures on this campus, the
first building erected at any State
institution in America.
“The inauguration of its physical re-
makink—for the State of North Car
olina has made possible for us a de
finite and systematic building pro
gramme, a programme to continue, I
trust and believe, until adequate fa-
cilties are present here for every
worthy youth of this State who shall
knock for admittance -at our doors.
And, as a symbol of the continuity
of the past future, of the University
of yesterday and that of tomorrow, it
is altogether fitting and proper that
the Masonic rites that dedicated to its
high purpose the first building that
was ours, should today consecrate to
the use of the youth of Nrth Carolina
the first structure which, the people
of the State a few months ago made
possible for the service of the greater
University which is to come.
