AN AMERICAN BASEMENT HOUSE ON EIGHTY-SECOND STREET, NEW YORK It addresses the beholder frankly; a finished design tempered with exquisite restraint. Every detail has been treated with judgment and good taste. It is one of the best narrow façades of this type yet produced. THE WOMAN'S CIVIC LEAGUE OF ST. PAUL AN ORGANIZATION OF WOMEN WHO DO THINGS, AND WHO AIM TO COOPERATE WITH ALL GOOD PEOPLE WHO ARE STRIVING TO ENHANCE THE BEAUTY OF THE CITY, UPBUILD ITS PROSPERITY AND MAKE IT A BETTER PLACE TO LIVE IN W REPRINTED FROM "SYLLABUS " THEIR CREED E believe in Manual Training, Children's Playgrounds, Dollar Gas, a Woman's Club House, a Municipal Lighting Plant, Public Baths for Winter and Summer, more Cars on the Grand Avenue line, less Smoke, more money for Parks, more money for Schools, taxation of Franchises, an EightHour Day for everybody but ourselves - we work fourteen-the preservation of the forests and in the inalienable right of every school child to a whole seat, clean air, abundance of light, tasteful surroundings and a bath if neces sary. We believe that school buildings are not necessarily blots upon the landscape. We believe that they belong to the people and should be used by them outside school hours. We believe that our Health Commissioner is the "best ever," that our City Engineer is all right, that Hermann the Magician isn't in it with our City Comptroller when it comes to balancing accounts. We believe we have a Mayor. We believe there are honest Aldermen. We believe we have discovered three. We are holding our breath until we are sure. We believe that an ounce of Work is worth a pound of Talk. We believe in our Town; in its future and in its present. We believe in Ourselves as among its most enlightened, disinterested, conscientious, public-spirited citizens. This bronze statue was offered to the university first winning two Stanford-California games, and having been won, it has a sentimental and an historical value, apart from the appropriateness of its theme. Monuments embodying the life of a college are a quickening, and an inspiration to college life. |
