The Story of Fifty Years Page 13 Fr. Sandoval in 1927 with 27,000 volumes; but in the past few years has progressed to a major place on the campus, now containing approximately 35,- 000 volumes. The library stands today as a tribute to Fr. Sandoval ' s perseverance in his cour- ageous work. Night courses were inaugurated into the Col- lege in 1930 for a short time. The Institute of Catholic Learning was organized in the same year to give or sponsor lectures twice a month on cur- rent Catholic subjects. In this year Regis reigned supreme in the oldest sport of the College when during the entire baseball season she was defeated only once and that time by the professional team of Pueblo of the Western League. The Depression necessitated a financial cam- paign in 1932. A gift of Mr. J. O ' Connell to the College was timely and generous. The Mothers 1 club, the Regis Guild, and the Parents 1 Association must be applauded for their splendid efforts for Regis. The College ' s tradi- tional superiority in dramatics was affirmed in the triumph in the Little Theatre contest (1934) and the permanent possession of the Donovan trophy. In 1937 a fine religious play, entitled Within These Walls 11 , was presented to a capacity crowd. Today Regis faces the future after a most suc- cessful year: a year in which the decision to pre- pare once more for inter-collegiate football on a new scale was made; a year which produced the splendid play Let No Man 11 , and one of the most successful Junior Promenades ever held in the his- tory of the school; and finally a year which was embellished by the appearance of this very book. The story of Regis has indeed been an inter- esting one. The institution that has grown out of the work of sturdy pioneers of education stands today as a fitting accomplishment of their labors. Regis College has successfully weathered many storms and its influence has been strongly felt over the entire Rocky Mountain Area. In every Regis man there exists a strong feeling of pride in his historic school of higher learning; yet at the same time a secure assurance exists in the practical train- ing Regis gives its men. The future of Regis lies perhaps in the ambi- tion to be shaded in the Rocky Mountain Region only by the majestic Rockies themselves. The faculty and men of P egis College can see only fu- ture glory for this western Jesuit College, resulting in the attainment of all the aims of its founders and a pinnacle of achievements for Regis College On the Crest of the West. 11 Looking Northward: an exceptional view of the Regis campus and surrounding terrair . -. , ■ .... ,„ • ' -„ 4 p» % t ' •w • T i % Jr 1 .
