left in medias res for the native haunts of Homer and Virgil. Unless this habit is checked serious consequences may be expected. The vacuum they leave with us is appalling. The upright character and vigorous energy of Professor Gile is especially missed this year. However, they have well earned this rest and we are the gainers in the end from the new life and enthusiasm which they bring back with them. Externally the college has the appearance of great prosperity. The campus is green and beautiful with many a tree and shrub rapidly growing into grateful shade and harmonious proportion. Many other trees will be planted this season and already we can imagine our campus like those of the older colleges of the East. West of Cascade the new lawns, reaching down to the tennis courts by Washburn Field, with the well arranged drives and walks, give to that whilom weed patch a beauty hardly deemed possible before. A new boiler house speaks of light and warmth for future generations and the plans are now out for the new res- idence for the fair portion of those same generations. The new science hall, henceforth to be known as Palmer Hall, is well along towards completion. Its large and empty vault seems to plead eloquently, though silently, for the million dollar endowment so much needed — so surely coming — for President Slocum is after it. The internal life of the college has been marked by improved scholarship, advanced ideals and many an indi- vidual triumph over self and the world. The societies, organizations and clubs, of which there are many in number and variety, all seem to be doing their usual good work. In athletics we are learning slowly that there are better things than victories — defeats have their lessons. Indi- cations point to the time, not far oft either, when surely founded, honestly developed and efficiently guided athle tic in- terest shall bring us our full share of victories. There is a growing tendency toward more general athletic activity as shown by the new tennis courts, the many and spirited basket ball teams and the voluntary exercises of groups of students. There is only one thing needed to make a college here which shall be equal to any of the older institutions on the Atlantic coast. That need is time. When our elms and lindens shall have grown as large as those on the campus of Princeton or Harvard there will be found here a college life and prestige second to none in America, for we have here in Colorado College a spirit, a life, a potentiality, which those institutions never had. With every stimulus of natural scenery, bright sunshine, pure sparkling air and water, coupled with the ever- passing touch of genius, as the celebrities of all nations look in upon us and give us their encouragement and vision, we may look forward with the greatest anticipations, and they will be more than realized. 16
