see when the work was completed and it was shown to the world the people called it grimstead's dream all the world marveled at its gleaming base and artistic lines but one thing was missing from

must be put to some good use when he heard that ub was honoring him mr grimstead decided to donate his dream as a trophy to be awarded on grimstead day to the residence hall which excelled in the activities on grimstead day last year schoellkopf hall was the winner of the beautiful trophy that hugo grimstead so generously gave this year mr grimstead will be on hand to award the trophy per
