Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Centennial Memorial Volume: Indiana University, 1820-1920 For an immediate illustration, take Indiana in the middle of the last century. Our people had the civilized mother tongue. But in 1840 fourteen per cent of the adults could not read or write, and in 1850 twenty-two per cent Of them could not read or write. They had schools, academies, colleges, men and women of learning and cultivation. But in 1848 forty four per cent of our people voted against free public schools, and in this county, the seat of this University, seventy-nine and four tenths per cent of the people voted against free public schools. They had the law, the ancient law developed in southern and western Europe since before the Christian era, and some men learned in the law. But in 1852 our people wrote it into their constitution that a man might be a counsellor at the bar however ignorant, and they prescribed that in criminal cases a jury how ever ignorant should be the sole judges Of the law. They were not without the elements of art. They had music. They had the pioneer melodies that Riley loved to hear the Old Band play. We are not ashamed of the melody nor of the Band. But the great music was not there. The empire of Beethoven was as far from our people generally as the empire of Genghis Khan. The making of a home in America by Europeans since 1492 is the greatest event Of modern history. But everywhere at first it involved descent.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Centennial Pageant of Indiana University, 1820-1920 The pageant grounds are located on the Campus of the Uni versity, on the Dunn Meadow looking across the brook which has for many years been genially called the River Jordan, to ward a grassy knoll and grove of evergreen trees behind which rise the walls and roof and tower of the Student Building. The Centennial Pageant of Indiana University has been written and composed on the principle that both dramatically and musically the pageant is a distinct and individual art-form, having its own laws and its own technique. All the elements of this pageant have been worked together, in accordance with these laws and technical considerations, to produce, if may be, in the sequence of actual, typical, or symbolic scenes, a clear, beautiful, and impressive drama of the life of the community. Most of the Scene designated as 11. The Founding of the University, 1820, has been taken from the corresponding scene in the Pageant of Bloomington and Indiana University, 1916, additions and Slight modifications being made to focus the episode more distinctly upon the present educational Situation.
