Maroon Bells The frigidly cold lake and the forbiddingly frozen mountains are part of the scenery which greets the exodus of skiers who make their pilgrimage to the pop- ular winter ski resort at Aspen.

The term Colorful Colorado needs no more ex- planation than in the fall of the year when the aspen turn gold. This scenery backed by the timeless moun- tains lures the scholars from their texts and into the hills each fall. Red Mountain Page 12

Carroll Hall in recent times. The name of the college was changed from Sacred Heart to Regis at the time of the beginning of the con- struction of Carroll Hall. The school was reincorpo- rated under the name of Regis College by the state legislature in 1921. The main reason for the change was the embarrassment which resulted from the man- ner in which the name Sacred Heart was frequently used in the sport section of the newspapers. Carroll Hall was opened in 1923 and became the main building of the college. A fund-raising was con- ducted by the alumni to raise the money that was necessary to pay for the construction. This drive was a failure and the school was forced to cany a heavy mortgage during the depression. The majority of the classes were held in this building until the construc- tion of DeSmet and Loyola Halls. It was not until after the war that the dormitory in the Administration Build- ing was abandoned and moved to Carroll Hall. The area in front of Administration Building. Page 14
