PROLOGUE Scene — Colorado College. Time — Now. Speaker — Prologue. Books or men, good people, in appearing before the public have to be introduced. And so I wish to bring to your notice a most interesting volume which has been written and compiled by a very hard-worked board of editors elected by the Junior Class. You will find this book worthy of your careful and charitable consideration because it is the result of a trying year of labor. Whatever is imperfect here should not be criticised because humanity is as yet imperfect, and human endeavors cannot be perfect until the millenium. Therefore, its imperfections are but the seal of its humanity. The annual board has nothing for which to apologize ; for if it did, that would betoken conscious mistakes, and such are inexcusable. However, it has much for which to be thankful. Literary contributors have by no means been scarce and artists and photographers have manifested their interest in this volume by their many and worthy efforts in its behalf. Therefore I place it in your hands, feeling sure that you will be pleased with it, and make my exit as I was wont to in the time of Shakespeare.

tary and treasurer, in which capacity he came to Denver. Eventually Mr. Jackson settled in Colorado Springs, where he was elected vice president of the railroad, and was for five years connected with its executive department. From this position of trust he resigned in 1876 to look after his growing private interests. Again, however, when the Denver Rio Grande became embarrassed he it was who was delegated by the United States Court to foster its failing resources, and his marked ability in this phase of action won him the approval of an eminent New York judge. The new board of directors in recognition of his valuable services during the crisis, elected him president. Since then Mr. Jackson has won manv friends throughout the- state, who recognize his genius as an able financier and a liberal patron of learning. Assuredlv we esteem it a great honor that such a man as Mr. Jackson, who has for so many years been actively engaged in business pursuits so important and varied, has shown a continual and lively interest in Colorado College.
