F. Cook, dean of the College of Mines. Dr. Cook cited the "magnificant cooperation from industry" in making the building possible and announced a new scholarship designed to honor those of the industry who have passed on. Industry Help The building, constructed on funds one-half from the mining industry and one-half from state appropriations, was called a united effort on behalf of the state, regents and the industry by Randall.

"We are proud of it," said Randall. "'The project brought us closer to the faculty and the University of Idaho and closer with each other in the industry. Peacock acknowledged the assistance of the mining industry in helping the Regents toward their goal of providing quality education. Investments such as made in the new building are lasting because they create a reservoir of talent from which the growth can only be imagined, Peacock said. President Theophilus added, "The building symbolized the confidence of the people of the of state- confidence in the future of the state-and the courage and of fortitude of a great mining industry.

It indicates a philosophy of confidence." Under the provision that the state of Idaho put up half of the funds for the building, the mining industry needed to have raised their funds by a certain date. To illustrate the philosophy of the industry, Dr. Theophilus described a trip he took to Wallace to ask for the remaining $9,000. "I was asked, 'How much is needed?" "The fellow who chairmaned the meeting said to the others in the room, 'You take $3,000, you take $4,000, you take I'll take the This was a time when the bottom had fallen out of the leadzine industry.

Day, who said, "The university did a splendid job with a poor building, the industry is giving the tools for the school to make use of them to do an even better job. J. C.

Kieffer, American Smelters and Refining added that faculty was more important than a building, but that the facilities will help the faculty work to the best advantage. As a closing note, C. E. Schwab, president of Bunker Hill Company, looked toward President Theophilus and said, "If there is anything more we can do, let us know." spirit reflecting the mining made it great, the new of Mines building was Farm Needs Are Cited by Speaker COEUR D'ALENE, IdahoMaintaining a productive, an efficient and profitable agriculture is the nation's major farm problem, Robert S.

His comments were made the annual banquet meeting of the Idaho Association of Soil Conservation Districts.

"Improvement of cover is needed on another 2 million acres. Most of the rest of it needs protection from over-grazing and other He added that more than 1 million acres of privately owned woodland needs establishment of new stands and nearly 2 million more acres need stand improvement. 40-Week Course Is Completed Army Reserve 1st Lt.
