93 



of lectures on subjects pertaining to Yosemite Valley, given by the 

 University of California Extension. The lectures were largely attended 

 and a marked success, and nearly all w^ere held in front of the lodge. 

 The Sierra Club may well be proud of the new Le Conte Memorial 

 Lodge. It is a beautiful building, in a more beautiful, natural set- 

 ting. With the ultimate growth of Yosemite Valley will come an 

 increasing need for a library and educational center. It is my idea, 

 born of intimate association with travelers who came to the lodge and 

 with the aims of the Sierra Club, that the latter will see fit to meet 

 this need. It is also my sincere hope that the future will witness a 

 renewed and more unified interest, that Le Conte Lodge may become 

 a living memorial to the man who would have it so.
