THE Coloradan this year has tried to add a little to the ordinary recording of names, faces, and events which every annual must contain. The setting of the University of Colorado is too often disregarded by students who have spent their lives in this section. We have tried to include within these pages a few of the many scenic views in the Boulder region, to show again how fortunate we are in being able to gain an education in such surroundings.

DEDICATION WITH a clear understanding of the humanities as a back- ground for his alert, scientific mind, Dr. Ekeley came to the University of Colorado in 1902. We can now realize the ambition which must have inspired him then — the ambi- tion which was able to surmount the tremendous obstacles of inadequate equipment, insufficient room, and imperfect texts. We see him today, a man who in the face of hardship was a great success, a man who with adequate laboratory facilities attained a world-wide reputation. A discoverer of several tungsten refining processes, a long-recognized author- ity on organic chemistry, toxicology, and chemical analysis, a respected educator, and a sympathetic husband. Dr. Ekeley now looks back at thirty-five years of accomplishment. He retires this year, yet his students will carry on his ideas and his ambition. With appreciation and praise for his outstanding service, we dedicate the 1937 Coloradan to a man who has contrib- uted so much to science and education — to Dr. John B. Ekeley, retiring head of the Department of Chemistry.
