The site of our University is unsurpassed in the whole world, sowe have no shadow of need of any change or improvement in our situation. Our professors stand in the first rank in their respective departments. We are proud of them. So we do not need any change or improve- ment in our teaching force. Our students are animated with most worthy ambitions, and we are therefore not needing anyone to furnish them with either capacity for hard work or with noble aspirations. The University spirit among our students is of the most delightful qual- ity, and in quantity it is as plentiful as our sunshine. True it is that we have a cloudy day once in a great while in Colorado, and it is also true that the University spirit is sometimes slightly covered by shadows. But we 'are always sure of the passing away of the clouds in this land of sunshine and good sense. But there are some things which we do need. Our Hrst need is an enthusiastic pur- pose to wipe out our debt. This enthusiastic purpose must be manifested by students, and graduates, and trustees, and ministers, and friends of the University, as well as by the profess- ors and the chancellor. As we go to press with this volume of Kynewisbok we have se- cured pledges onthe debt which aggregate forty-six thousand dollars. All this in three months is heartening. But our total debt approximates two hundred thousand dollars. Each day adds something to the total amount of pledges. What we most need now is enthusiastic purpose
