THE OUTLOOK 1 BY THE CHANCELLOR Four years ago I wrote an article for the Kynewishok in which 1 reported that nearly one-fourth of the 1'nivcrsitv debt had been subscril e l and that we could not consider any question of I’niversitv enlargement until we secured enough money to extinguish the debt. That was a day of hope with no small amount of dread. Might months ago we destroyed all our mortgages, so all our projiertics and endowments are now clear of all encumbrances forever. The donations which we have received from all sources within four years aggregate more than a quarter of a million dollars. We have now arrived at the point where we can begin to make enlargements of the I'niversitv in a natural way. A program has been approved by unanimous vote of the Hoard of Trustees. It contemplates four centers of work on the campus at University Park. Ten acres of campus—the northeast quarter—will be used for the buildings of the College of Liberal Arts and the Graduate School. It is pro-jx scd to build three fine buildings north of University Hall, which will make a fine facade toward the north. These buildings will contain gymnasia for men and women, the library, the chattel and laboratories for chemistry, physics, biology, geology ami mineralogy. These buildings will provide adequate space for more than one thousand students in the College of Liberal Arts ami Graduate School. Another ten acres of campus—the northwest quarter-—will Ik devoted to the Engineering Schools. Two nr three or four buildings will Ik erected for the accommodation of these schools. The usual departments of civil, mechanical, electrical and mining engineering will Ik maintained. Another ten acres of campus—the southwest quarter—will Ik- devoted to the Preparatory School and the Trade School. The Trade School will Ik a new departure in Colorado. The southeast quarter of the campus has been deeded to the llifi School of Iheology, a new cor( oration, ami is now totally distinct from the I niversitv of Denver. The professional schools of the University in the heart of the city have reached a development which puts them in a class by themselves. We have now the only medical college in Denver, the only law school in Denver, the only dental college between the Missouri River ami the Pacific Ocean, ami certainly the best equipped music school in the Rocky Mountain States. The whole number of graduates of the University is now 1.021. Alx nt 130 degrees will Ik added to the list at the commencement of 1904. The next two schools of highest rank together in Colorado have not conferred as many degrees as the I niversitv of Denver. io
