Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Centennial Pageant of Indiana University, 1820-1920 The pageant grounds are located on the Campus of the Uni versity, on the Dunn Meadow looking across the brook which has for many years been genially called the River Jordan, to ward a grassy knoll and grove of evergreen trees behind which rise the walls and roof and tower of the Student Building. The Centennial Pageant of Indiana University has been written and composed on the principle that both dramatically and musically the pageant is a distinct and individual art-form, having its own laws and its own technique. All the elements of this pageant have been worked together, in accordance with these laws and technical considerations, to produce, if may be, in the sequence of actual, typical, or symbolic scenes, a clear, beautiful, and impressive drama of the life of the community. Most of the Scene designated as 11. The Founding of the University, 1820, has been taken from the corresponding scene in the Pageant of Bloomington and Indiana University, 1916, additions and Slight modifications being made to focus the episode more distinctly upon the present educational Situation.
