t0 fo 5 N 82 To I 1, l as fm Cf: if Q 2 L xo w oe Page 2 Half a century ago, a group of future minded men and women saw the need for a WOITIHIIDS college in the West. Colleges were arising in this bound- less territory, but all were co-educational. lt seemed desirable to build in this new and vigorous country a school especially designed to afford a cul- tural background for young women. This idea, only a dream at first, originated June 16, 1887. In 1888, a charter for the school was granted, and was filed at the State House. Tl1e spring of 1890 saw the laying of the cornerstone and the dedication of Colo- rado Womanls College. The first momentous step had been taken. The college was no longer Hction, but was fact. However, funds to complete the project were lacking, and for years the structure stood a spectre 011 the plains near Denver. But the unfinished building haunted the minds of those who had seen the vision of the future. In 1908, tl1e work was undertaken anew, and on September first, 1909, the doors of learning were opened and the first year's work was begun. In 1916 it was necessary to build an addition to Treat Hall. Although the school had the avowed purpose of training .girls solely to be good homemakers, the curriculum was enlarged with the advance of edu- cational theories. The college grew with what now seems great rapidity, but what must then have seemed painfully slow to those who were looking forward to the completion of the dream. Poplars Hall, Forbes Memorial Home, Camp Free- man, and Foote Hall have all been added to the campus buildings. Colorado W' 011131195 College is now a fully accredited junior college, and its history continues. On March 18, 1938, in celebration of Founders' Day, President Huchingson laid the cornerstone of another dormitory. And so, while enthusiastic students sing,- uThe green and the white over all . . May it fly to the sky ne'er to fall ..... the College grows, in harmony with the early vision of that far-seeing group of courageous men and women.
