Xxx li j f f i i l As Carleton prepares to relocate on its new Rideau River Campus this summer, let's take one more backward glance and see just what has happened to the College in T7 years . . . and across the page let's take a long look into the future of our Alma Mater, and see what possibilities lie ahead. Theres the story of Carleton being born on a street corner when our first President, Dr. l-l. M. Tory, tried to arous interest in the creation of a non-denominational, co-educational College in the nation's capital. From that day, two things were in Carletons favour-it was evident there was an urgent need for a new college, and Dr. Tory was the man to found it, solely with community sponsorship. With no apologies, he asked his friends for money. He got it. Planning went ahead quickly and the first registration period came. l-le hoped for T00 students, he got 770 in the first week! But it was leapfrog to Qet to classes in assorted high school rooms. church basements, wherever there was empty space. Tlsen came a more settled life on First Avenue in the old Ottawa l'lfl1i2' College. fr, wrirlv years the vets made Carleton hum. They organ- ized ri rifivwgpciper, a Students' Council, athletic teams, and various cliiiiig. They established traditions which will always be a part of our University. lt was during their time that the first permanent faculty were appointed. Since then, more than 1,000 degrees have been conferred and Carleton has grown quickly with the times. Today, Carleton has prestige among universities ond in the business and professional world. lt has reached the end of its pioneer period. lts coming out party will be held this year.
