A CAST-OFF SLIPPER A large sum would soon be available; so the carrying out of the plans to extend, or, rather, to construct Tecumseh, must be begun.

The trustees commissioned young Hargrave to go abroad at once in search of educational and architectural ideas, and to get apparatus that would make the laboratories the best in America.

Chemistry and its most closely related sciences were to be the foundation of the new university, as they are at the foundation of life.

"We'll model our school, not upon what the ignorant wise of the Middle Ages thought ought to be life, but upon life itself," said Dr.Hargrave.

"We'll build not from the clouds down, but from the ground up." He knew in the broad outline what was wanted for the Tecumseh of his dream; but he felt that he was too old, perhaps too rusted in old-fashioned ways and ideas, himself to realize the dream; so he put the whole practical task upon Dory, whom he had trained from infancy to just that end.
When it was settled that Dory was to go, would be away a year at the least, perhaps two years, he explained to Adelaide.
