r DR. LOUIS T. BENEZET succeeded Gill as President of the College in 1955, and the College began to build again under his capable administration. He was especially successful in gaining support from large foundations for the college. Among the con- tinuing benefactors of the college were the Ford Foundation, the Carnegie Foundation, the Boettcher Foundation, the Olin Founda- tion, and the El Pomar Foundation. The resulting additions to the physical plant were Rastall Center, the Fraternity Complex, Tutt Library, and Olin Hall of Science. NOT SINCE SLOCUM ' S ERA has the cam- pus undergone such physical changes. Since Dr. Lloyd E. Worner became the College ' s first alumnus President in 1963, eight new additions have been made to the growing campus— Honnen Ice Rink, Schlessman Pool, Boettcher Health Center, Mathias Hall, Armstrong Hall, El Pomar Center, and the new Arts Music Building. But steel and ce- ment have not been Worner ' s only tools for building. He has built the College ' s endow- ment to a new level of security, unknown to many similarly sized colleges in the educational world, notably the recent Packard Grant of $7 million and El Pomar Foundation ' s $1 million endowment. These are achievements which are unparalleled in the College ' s history. The celebrated Colorado College Plan has been another in- novation during the Worner presidency which is proving a great success. It is an ap- propriate honor that Dr. Lloyd E. Worner, who was present during the seventy-fifth an- niversary of the College in 1949 as a member of the History Department, should now preside over the Centennial Celebrations of 1974.

M ' DURING THE YEARS between World War I and the seventy-fifth anniversary of the College in 1949, the campus saw four different Presidents— C. A. Duniway, C. C. Mierow, Thurston Davies, and William H. Gill. The college waxed and waned with enrollment depending upon several fac- tors—World War I, the ' Roaring Twenties ' , The Great Depression, World War II, and the Post-War Era. Notable among the new edifices constructed was the chapel donated by Eugene P. Shove during the Mierow ad- ministration and dedicated in 1931. This was the only major construction since the Slocum Era. During these years the College grew in prestige and stature, with continuing improvement in the campus endowment fund. Future President Lloyd Worner graduated from Colorado College in 1942. Construction of Slocum and Loomis dor- mitories concluded the Gill administration.
