r HE TEAR AT COLORADO COLLEGE The present year has been characterized by a steady growth of the College in all directions. The enrollment of students is larger than ever before, many new courses have been added to the curriculum, a pathological laboratory has been erected, and last, but not least, the building fund for the Science Building, has been increased to $240,000, and the building is now fast becoming a reality. When the students began coming in last Fall it was seen that there were many more than there ever had been before, and when the registration was completed this was more than verified. The largest class ever graduated from Colo- rado College numbered thirty ; this year there are thirty-six Seniors. Last year there were about sixty registered in the Freshman class ; this year there are eighty-nine. Professor Parsons returned last fall from a year ' s study abroad and was made Acting-President, to give Presi- dent Slocum an opportunity to spend a much needed vacation in Europe and Asia Minor. Professor M. C. Gile was elected principal of Cutler Academy, to succeed Professor Coy, who resigned last spring. Professor Brookover was granted a year ' s leave of absence, and his work was taken by H. L. Shantz, of the class of 1901. E. N . Robertson of the class of 1901, was elected Instructor in Physics. The year had scarcely begun when President Slocum announced that $100,000 more had been secured for the Science building, thus enabling the Trustees to carry out their plans for that building unaltered. The contract was let in October calling for the completion of the building by March 28, 1903, and work was soon begun and has been rapidly progressing ever since. On March 3, the corner stone was laid by Chancellor E. Benjamin Andrews, of the University of Nebraska. 16

In athletics Colorado College lias not been so successful as in previous years, though her record is not anything to be ashamed of. In both baseball and football she stands second in the Intercollegiate League of Colorado, and both teams played under disheartening difficulties. Tennis is in a flourishing condition. Two fine new courts have been laid out by the Tennis Association, and tournaments with the other institutions of the state are being talked of. All four of the College literary societies were filled early in the year and it was found necessary to organize a new boys ' society, the Miltonian. Last spring, Colorado College won the fourth annual Interstate debate with the Univer- sity of Nebraska, thus tying the score with that institution. With such gratifying results we may indeed feel that President Slocum ' s ambition is being fulfilled, and Colo- rado College is taking a high place among the institutions for higher education in the West. With the completion of the new Science and Administration building next year, its facilities for affording a thorough college education will be second to none. C— 0— L— 0— R— A— D— !
