Abstract
THE academic year 1948–49 marked the centenary of the University of Wisconsin, which opened its first class on February 5, 1849. From twenty students at that time it now has eighteen thousand, with about seven hundred staff members of professorial rank. Actually, the University was planned and provided for by law in 1838 before Wisconsin was admitted to statehood—remarkable evidence of the importance attached to education by the early settlers.
