COLGATE UNIVERSITY 25 which we now see it. It satisfiesa long felt need of the university, and is a great addition to the college campus. N Evidence is seen on all sides that the college is growing. The large enter- ing classes of the last two years have given a new inspiration to the life of the university. At a recent meeting of the trustees, it was decided to make a thorough renovation of West College and thus iit it up as a modern dormitory just as soon as the proper funds could be raised. Already the west end of the building has been repaired so as to furnish proper quarters for the department of physics until the new Science Hall is finished, and it is expected that the work of refitting the entire building will soon be commenced. The Seminary has recently received gifts amounting to SB600,000. These gifts provide for a new chair of pastoral theology and also for some needed im- provements in Eaton Hall. Dr. Edward Judson of New York is at the head of the new department and under the present arrangement opportunity is given to the senior class to study with Dr. Judson in New York during the winter term, thus coming into touch with the large city churches and studying their methods on the field. This new gift is of benefit to the college as well as to the seminary inasmuch as it provides for more lecturers for the university. Under this provision Colgate has enjoyed this year the presence of Hugh Black, the eminent preacher of Edinburgh. During the winter term, Dr. Clarke has been compelled to be absent on ac- count of ill health. He has been spending the winter in the South where he is working upon a new book soon to be published. He reports improvement in his health and hopes to be in his classroom this spring. A recent gift of Andrew Carnegie, supplemented by other gifts, provides for the college a sum of 340,000 to be used in extending the chemical laboratory. For a long time the present equipment has been insufiicient to meet the growing needs of the departments of science, but the enlarged laboratory together with the new science building will provide for these. No small factor in placing Colgate in the front rank of the colleges of New York State and of the eastern states in general has been the work of the ath- letic teams. Colgate teams have met teams from many other colleges. They have won many victories and even when they have not won their work has shown a high degree of excellence. Their defeats as well as their victories have added to the fame of Colgate. The university is entering upon a broader, larger lifeg and all the evidences point to a glorious future for the New Colgate.
