TI-IE 75th ANNIVERSARY May 16, 1963 EVENTY-FIVE YEARS and twelve days ago the first public meeting of those interested in building a college for women in Denver was held on the ground which was to become this campus. The cele- bration of this historic event was observed with great enthusiasm throughout this year. Early last fall when the committee to plan the 75th Anniversary held one of its first meetings, President Eugene E. Dawson briefly stated three points which he felt such an observance should stress. They were as follows: FIRST: We should look backward and pay tribute to all who labored so devotedly to make the dream of 1888 become the reality of 1963. SECOND: After three-quarters of a century we should re- examine every facet of our program to be sure that each is sound and of maximum value to every student. THIRD: We must realize that the task is not completed- but only started. The foundations are in place and they have been found to be solid and strong. Our 75th Anniversary will give us the inspiration to build even more extensively upon these foundations. The cover of the 1963 Skyline is symbolic of this inspiration to build tall and straight in the decades ahead. Dunton Hall, as viewed from the south, standing straight as an arrow, pointing ever higher is a constant challenge to Colorado Woman's College to meet its destiny. And the windows have special significance . . . windows to look out upon the past . . . windows to evaluate the present . . . Windows to give tantalizing glimpses into the future.

This S line is Qeuiicciteol to DR. EUGENE E. DAWSON, President, Colorado Womanis College His YEAR, 1963, is a turning point in the history of Colorado Woman's College. It is a year of excite- ment, expectation, and celebration for not only are we commemorating our 75th Anniversary as a woman's college, but we are celebrating our advancement forward to a recognized four-year institution of higher learning. This step forward is due to the ambitions and dreams of one man who dared to do what all others felt impossible. Against some opposition and question he dared to believe and stand firm to the fact that CWC could and should be transformed from a two-year institution to a senior col- lege. This man believed in CWC and felt it had the po- tential to become one of the Westis most outstanding womanls colleges. Because of this belief and deep dedica- tion, he has devoted his every ambition, thought, work, and deed to achieving this goal. And now, in 1963, his dream has become reality. In May, forty .seniors will be graduated because of his deep determination and ideals. The college which he has been instrumental in developing has become the glory of the West. In humbleness and humility we dedicate this book to you, President Dawson. You are the foundation, cornerstone and supporting fix- ture of this college. You have dared to make a challenge and to meet it with full glory and honor. We are indebted to you for making accessible to us such a fine institution where we may be educated and prepared to meet the world and its problems. To you we say Thank You and may the dreams and ambitions that you still have for fur- ther development of CWC become realities, too.
