THE YEAR ' S SURVEY. The past year at the College has passed no less rapidly than others, in spite iif the fact that for several months at the first of the year the time was divided into intervals of two weeks, at the end of each of which we were to be in the Science Building. But this year marks the end of the mediaeval, the beginning of the modern in the history of Colorado College. After patient years of planning ami toiling mi the part of those who have the interests of Colorado College at heart, the reward has come at la t, the goal is attained, and Palmer Hall stands on the campus as a monument to the patience and labor of unselfish and noble hearts, as a symbol and instrument of the spirit of progress and enlightenment. Buildings of all sorts seem to have sprung up in a single night, McGregor Hall setting a fast and furious pace. Last spring the young women of the College watched with great interest the phenomenal growth of this youngest daughter of the campus who was quite ready in September to take a large number of them under her protection. As the Senior girls always have their residence in Ticknor Hall, so the Junior girls are ever to be at the head of clan McGregor. The most attractive feature of this hall is the large and fully equipped gymnasium fur girls. by means of which it is hoped that the co-eds. of Colorado College will be induced tn come out of their state of lethargy and, like their sisters in the East, take a greater interest in athletics for women. The demands of the new school of engineering necessitated many additions to the present equipments, and the year has witnessed the erection of shops for work m wood, metal, and at the forge, beside an addition of dynamo rooms tn the engine In atse. The Commencement Exercises of 1903 were somewhat interfered with by the rainy season which set in early in the spring and did not stop until everyone was safely home 111 June. We sincerely hope that the few millions of gallons of water which the Class of ' 03 willed to the Class of ' 04 will not be exhibited at the next commencement exercises. The deluge did not interfere, however, with one of the most important events of the season; even the Peak emerged t i smile for a few brief moments mi the presentation of the old Palmer Hall, now known as Cutler Academy, to the College infants. The change means that the Academy now takes its rightful place with the independent preparatory schools of the country, a prospective rival, under Professor Gile ' s principalship, of Phillips Andover itself. The loyalty of Colorado College supporters was tested during the summer when all over the state students and professors alike worked to spread the name and fame of the oldest institution - — . With fresh enthusiasm the old students returned in September to find themselves almost displaced by the caravan of Fresh- men which had arrived. The entire year has been marked by a new spirit of work and enterprise. One feels an atmosphere of a larger life than ever before. Early in the year there were rumors of fraternities and before most people had waked up to the fact, they were surprised by two or three Greek letter soci- eties. This is another event in the onward march, another product of the modern era. The literary societies have passed through a more prosperous year than any in their histories. Not only has another society for girls been organized, but the older organizations have been very enterprising in raising money for the purpose of building club houses made necessary by the inconvenience of their present quarters. Athletics, as in former years, have played an important role in the life of the College, and last spring the state championship in base-ball fell to the lot of the Tigers. Especial attention has been given to track athletics. For this line of work extensive alterations and improvements have been made on Washburn Field, so that it now has the reputation of being the best athletic field in the state. Colorado College is most assuredly wonderful blest in its advantages, some of which the dedication of Palmer Hall helped us to realize more clearly than ever before. There is little need to go to the East for culture and knowledge when Pres- ident Slocum can summon to our doors such representatives of Bryn Mawr and Vas- sar, Yale and Harvard, etc.. ad infinitum, as we find among our faculty, of whom we have every reason to be proud. Several of our professors have become addicted to the habits of foreign travel, but in the end they find no acropolis more interesting than our mesa no Alp quite eipial to our world-famed mascot.
