Excerpt from The University and the Commonwealth: Addresses at the Inauguration of Lotus Delta Coppman, Ph.D. As Fifth President of the University of Minnesota, May 13, 1921

Mr. Snyder: The University opened its doors for the first time to students of collegiate grade in September 1869, some eighteen years after it had been created by act Of the Territorial Legislature. In the following December the venerable gentleman who is to be the first speaker of the day was inaugurated. The exercises took place in the assembly room on the third floor of the west wing Of the Old Main Building. In the course Of his address the new President set forth his views as to the organization of the institution and the basic principles underlying its management. More than fifty years have passed since that first inaugura tion and although many Changes have been wrought in and about the University the plan Of organization and the principles laid down by him have in the main remained in force to this day. We rejoice that he has been spared to this late day in vigor Of mind and body to take part in these exercises. President Emeri tus William Watts F Olwell will address you.
