Dedication of Alaska
Agricultural College
and School of Mines
Speaking of the dedication of the
Alaska Agricultural College and School
of Mines at Fairbanks, recently, the
Nenana News says:
The Alaska Agricultural College and j
School of Mines was dedwated yester- i
day afternoon with imposing cere-1
monies and with about 500 residents of j
Fairbanks and visitors in attendance, j
A speeial train took a large number to !
the college, and many made the trip in j
autos, about 75 cars being parked near
the- campus during the aiternoon. The
schoolchildren paraded from the school
to the depot and took part in the exer
cises at the college. The parade was
headed by the city band, and the line
of march took the paraders past the re
viewing stand, occupied by Governor
Scott C. Bone and other visitors.
Upon ariival at the college the cere
monies wore opened by President Mor
ton K. Stovens, of the board of regents,
who explained the purpose of the gath- 1
sriDg brielly. He was followed by Kev. i
Fred G. Scherer, who offered prayer
for’the success of the institution, and
then came the flag raising, while the 1
band played patriotic airs.
Governor Scott C. Bone, who made i
the trip from Juneau to Fairbanks for <
tiie special purpose of participating in <
the dedicatory ceremonies, delivered i
the principal address of the afternoon.
He said, in part, as follows: <
••The opening of this institution, the
first of higher learning and technical
training in the Northland, is a potent
sign of the times. It speaks progress. J
It tells the world that Alaska is going
ahead. It proclaims) in its name, the I
fact that agriculture and mining are
twin resources of this rich domain. It
gives denial to the popular fiction that 1
Alaska is a forbidding, frozen upheaval 1
of ice and snow. It emphasizes the real
Alaska. It will be a helpful factor in 1
service to Alaska.
“The President of the United States !
hoped to be here on this notable occa- 1
sioo. It was included in his tentative
arrangements. He looked forward ex- 1

pectun11 v to the pleasure and profit of
visiting Alaska. Particularly did he
wish to see this great open country of
the Interior. The thriving homesteads
and expanse of growing wheat would
have inspired him. He w-ould have
seen here, in this fertile land watered
by the Tanana and Yukon, the Missis
sippi valley of Alaska, fie would have
grasped ’ho full meaning to the Terri
tory of the Government enterprise, the
Alaska railroad, for which, as senator,
he voted, in opening the tninerai, coal
and farming lands along the way. tie
would have found and applauded the
pioneer spirit at its best and recog
nised in ail Alaska a hospitable and in
viting land. But his visit is only de
ferred. He will surely come, ms in
terest is abiding.
“Natural obstacles have prevented
the rapid growth of Alaska. Climate
is not one of them. Distance and inac
cessibility are the chief. To these have
been added and imnosed for fifty five
years, since the Seward purchase, in
different, and inefficient systems of ad
ministration. They have been a heavy
handicap to settlement and industry.
But a measure of co-ordination is cora
i-.g about and constructive policies are
now a sured. No longer c a it ho said
that the Government at Washington is
neglectful and unconcerned. An awak
ened public interest in the welfare of
Alaska is speeding a better era. Ma
terial advancement has been marked
during the year, and every prospect is
today most heartening.
“The opening of this Agricultural
College and School of Mines is an aug
ury of brightest promise. Ail honor to
| those who conceived the institution
| and. through Congress and the Terri
j torial Legislature, brought it into
; hein'g And may it for all time be
guided with visdom and ever-growing
strength and usefulness.’’
After the Governor had concluded
his address, which was received with
enthusiasm. President Charlea E. Bun
nell showed the visitors through the
college and outlined the plans of the
faculty.
