And the mood was mean. If you think the rivalry between Tucson and Phoenix is tough today 100 years ago, it was vicious. The cities and counties needed money and they needed it bad. There were two major prizes to be won from the legislature that year. The Asylum for the insane and the state capitol. Phoenix was the big winner. It got the insane asylum. Prescott got to keep the capital and Tucson. Well, Tucson received an unwelcome consolation prize, the University of Arizona and with it a measly $25,000 appropriation 1/4 of what Phoenix was awarded to build the asylum. You know, to be honest, the very beginning for the U of A wasn't all that proud. In fact, Tucson responded angrily. The man who was sent to Prescott to win the Capitol came home with what he thought was good news about the University. All the people of Tucson greeted him with a shower of ripe eggs rotten vegetables, and some folks say a dead cat. One condition the legislature slapped on Tucson was that the people of Pima County had to donate 40 acres of land to the university. Finally, just before the deadline, a saloon owner and two professional gamblers donated some useless land they owned off in the desert about a mile east of town. The University of Arizona was now a fact. But it would be another six years before the first students would arrive. On October 1 1891, the University of Arizona opened its doors. When the school bell rang out that first day of class Tucson celebrated. Gone were the days of anger. The University of Arizona was a reality and Tucson was proud of it. 32 students enrolled for the first semester, but only six were admitted to the freshman class. The rest went to a specially established prep school. The problem was there were no high schools in the territory back then. It was 17 years before university students outnumber those in the prep classes. The university maintained the preparatory classes for 23 years. about student life back then. Well, the students rode their cow ponies to school and tied them to hitching posts near Old Main discipline was strict, running on the balcony of Old Main cost the offending student 10 demerits. In 1892, the dean of students asked the board of regents to prohibit the use of firearms on campus. And if a student's classwork wasn't going well, the problem was immediately taken up by the entire faculty and his parents were called in for a conference.","format":"text/plain"},"target":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1985/collection_resources/74858/file/160877#t=19.0,195.999"},{"id":"https://arizona.aviaryplatform.com/collections/1985/collection_resources/74858/file/160877/transcript/38475/annotation/2","type":"Annotation","motivation":"transcribing","body":{"type":"TextualBody","value":"UNKNOWN SPEAKER: On May 29 1895, two women and one man became the first graduates of the University of Arizona. The U of A Alumni Association began just two years later in 1897. Its constitution declared that all persons who had received a degree from the University were members. Well, at the time, there were seven graduates. The university's first homecoming wasn't held for nearly 20 years in 1914. In those early years, the University couldn't afford to pay salaries that even began to compete with established schools back East or in California. Still, the university seemed to attract quality people. One key find was Dr. Andrew E. Douglas. He joined the EU in 19 Six as a teacher of physics and geography. He founded the Department of Astronomy and supervised the building of the Steward Observatory. But what brought international fame to both Douglas and the University of Arizona was the science of dendrochronology. We know it as tree ring research. In 1937, the Board of Regents established a full lab to help Douglas continue his studies, Douglas pioneered the field that provided scientists all over the world with a tool to study rainfall cycles, and established dates as far back in history as 100 ad. During the decade after 19 Six, the university's size exploded. The number of students quadrupled. There were 10 times more books in the library, and 10 more buildings on campus. The university was reorganized into three colleges ag her culture, mines and engineering and Letters, Arts and Sciences, and a small collection of stuffed birds grew into the Arizona museum 1914 saw the beginnings of some important traditions. First, the Wildcats got their name. After witnessing Arizona put up a gallon stand against a much stronger team in California. A well known sports writer in describing the action said they fought like Wildcats. That name stuck.

It had built up solid reputations in many areas, mining, archaeology, and of course tree ring research to name a few. The Ag school was instrumental in the development of Pima cotton. That discovery would affect Arizona's economy for the rest of the century. But unfortunately, another reputation was also developing. One writer called the University of Arizona, the collegiate Country Club of the Southwest. One factor that gave that impression was our climate. Another factor though happened to be a source of great pride to the university community. That was Polo. The University of Arizona polo team enjoyed national prominence. The sports pages played up the athletes, while the society pages covered the social leaders who attended the polo matches in horse shows in Tucson. The university's horse program goes back to World War One. The War Department gave the university 100 horses and the region's had stables built for a 250 man Cavalry Squadron to play polo, a student had to be a member of the ROTC cavalry. The polo team grew out of this patriotic beginning, as did many cavalry officers who eventually served in mechanized divisions during World War Two. In 1942, polo ended at the university. ROTC needed the horses for military instruction and an increase in writing activities. In fact, just prior to the war, the U of A had the largest all cavalry ROTC unit in the country. Students hearts swelled with pride watching military reviews in those days when the commander would shout Line Draw sabers Trant gallop charge. But by 1943 It was all over. The Army sold the horses at the end of that college year. Jeeps, trucks and tanks replaced horses, riders and bugles and the University of Arizona bid farewell forever to a polo team that reigned for 10 straight years as champions of the Western Collegiate Conference. During the Warriors nearly 10,000 young men passed through the university as part of a special school established by the Navy. The University had participated in civilian pilot training under the Civil Aeronautics administration. Flying was the first national defense activity on campus. In the fall of 39, the U of A began ground school instruction on campus and flight instruction at private fields. The experience gained in civilian flight instruction became the foundation for or the naval aviation school that would eventually enroll 591 students. But the US Navy left a more lasting impression on the U of A than many people realize. The story goes back to 1938. Just before graduation, the campus community was saddened to learn that Old Main, the original home of the university had been condemned by building inspectors. The building would be abandoned before classes resumed in the fall, protests from over 5000 Alumni fell on deaf ears. Then as liquid habit, the building remained intact. There were just too many other things to worry about during those years, just in time with the US Navy came help for the old building. The Navy needed space and Old Main was available. They took the building and spent nearly $90,000 Putting it in shipshape condition. One thing that piqued the sailors curiosity was the slogan painted on the roof of the men's gym. Bear Down the Navy brass thought the men ought to know the story. Back in 1926 athletic director pop McHale was at the bedside of a dying student. The young man was the football team's quarterback, the baseball team's catcher and he was an outstanding student. The car accident that severed his spinal cord happened early in the football season. Mikhail asked the student if he had any final words for the team.

The Blue Moon was a favorite rendezvous for dancing couples on Wednesday nights. People went square dancing and Oracle and women wrote home for permission to cross the border in Nogales. For the more adventurous there was always a boon Docker out in the desert, the kind of boondocking that people still talk about. There were picnics, horse outings and an active fraternity and sorority life. Students participated in the annual rodeo parade and enjoyed sports of every kind. Tennis track swimming, archery, baseball and hockey were all represented. And the football team was playing big time opponents and winning. Some old timers remember the first football being played about the turn of the century near where the main auditorium now stands. The second field was set up near the old library and there was a third just east of the Ag College. The U of A played its first out of state game in the fall of 19. Five we lost that game to Pomona 41 To find the U of A participated in the first night game played on the West Coast. Football reached a high point in 1919 when Louis slonaker led the Wildcats to a 27 to nothing victory over occidental. The team elected him captain for the next year, and the whole school celebrated with an assembly and an all day holiday. In 21, the U of A played its first bowl game. Later that decade the U of A and Tucson would hear from Louis slonaker again. The U of A alumni wanted a real football stadium and they wanted it now. They wanted excellence and when settle for nothing less. The region's had no way to finance the project. So they turned to the Arizona Alumni Association for help. Under the leadership of Slony as he was called a major fundraising drive was launched in 1927. The dream was realized in 1929. The stadium was dedicated during homecoming in October of that year. It was a particularly sweet dedication, thanks to a crushing 35 to nothing win over Cal Tech in front of 8000 Happy Wildcat fans. The stadium was just the beginning for what was to become a powerful and active alumni association. The Alumni Association led the fight to gain funding for the Student Union provided the push to see McHale center completed and during the mid 60s, the alumni went all out in a statewide lobbying effort to win the medical school for the University of Arizona. While those dramatic highlights are important, one of the main functions for the Alumni Association has been homecoming by 1949 homecoming had become one of the major events of the year in Tucson. Returning Students came from all over the world to participate in the festivities, and for the first time, the homecoming parade took to the streets of downtown Tucson. After the war, the university really hit its stride. The 50s brought growth not even imagined a decade earlier. The mining college taught students from everywhere state of the art techniques for developing still untapped resources from under the Earth's surface. Kitt Peak was built with permission from the Papago Indian tribe. They called the university astronomers, the men with long eyes. The Ag college grew and gained prominence as one of the best in the western part of the country. The university's archaeology department was second to none in studies relating to early Southwestern culture. And of course, the tree ring lab continued to attract both scientists and students to study under Dr. Hae, Douglas. But it wasn't all hard work.
