THE OUTLOOK EV THE CHAXCEI.LOR Four years ago I wrote an article for the- ! yiie visl)i)k in which I reported that nearly one-fourth of the L ' niversity debt liad been subscribed ami that we could not consider any question of University enlargement until we secured enough money to extinguish the debt. That was a day of hope wdth no small amount of dread. Eight months ago we destroyed all our mortgages, s o all our pro]ierties and endow- ments 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 University in a natural way. A program has been approved by unanimous vote of the Board of Trustees. It contemplates four centers of work on the campus at Universitv Park. Ten acres of campus — the northeast quarter — will lie used for the buildings of the College of Liberal Arts and the Graduate School. It is pro- posed to build three fine buildings north of L ' niversity Hall, which will make a fine facade toward the north. These buildings will contain gymnasia for men and women, the library, the chapel and laboratories for chemistry, physics, biology, geology and mineralogy. These buildings will provide adequate space f or more than one thousand students in the College of Liberal Arts and Graduate School. Another ten acres of campus — the northwest quarter — will be devoted to the Engineering Schools. Two or three or four buildings will be erected for the accommodation of these schools. The usual departments of civil, mechanical, electrical and mining engineering will be maintained. Another ten acres of cam- pus — the southwest quarter — will be devoted to the Preparatory School and the Trade School. The Trade School will be a new departure in Colorado. The south- east quarter of the campus has been deeded to the Ilifif School of Theology, a new corporation, and is now totally distinct from the L ' niversity of Denver. The professional schools of the I ' niversit}- 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 and the Pacific Ocean, and ccrtainl)- the best equipped music school in the Rock - Mountain States. The whole number of grad- uates of the University is now 1,021. About 130 degrees will be added to the list at the commencement of 1904. The next two schools of highest rank together in Colorado have not conferred as man - degrees as the Universitv of Denver. 10
