Denver University. . .A Hundred Thousand Faces Founded in faith by far-sighted men who saw a signature of greatness across an Untamed country, the University of Denver has witnessed the birth of an empire, the death of another. She has seen the wilderness give way to industry, the mountains tamed by men. And in her 91 years she has seen hundreds of thousands of faces, faces of' students, faculty members, administrative heads. Each face has left its mark. Each face has brought its own problem, its own solution. Through boom years and stagnant years, through far- sighted planning and human mistakes, DU has welded a university out of differing faiths, races, philosophies and learnings. BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION BUILDING Ninety-one years ago, on May 5, 1864, Colorado Seminary was opened to thirty students and three faculty members, her charter signed by Abraham Lincoln. The school soon closed, to be immediately revived at auction by the terri- torial governor, John Evans. The small mining town of Denver boasted a population of 3,500 that year. In 1880, with an enrollment of 90 students, Colorado Seminary became the University of Denver. With her in- fancy and a fading frontier behind, DU began to grow. By 1928, her enrollment numbered 3,52-4. Already her past echoed the words and faces of great names . . . John Evans, Henry Buchtel, Elizabeth Iliff-Warren, Mary Dean Reed. i i

BUCHTEL CHAPEL INTERIOR BUCHTEL MEMORIAL CHAPEL As Une They Came From Every Race And Every Greed A hundred thousand faces . . . From the South came the face of the Negro. From the East came the Oriental race. From all points of the compass came the white race, every nationality, every background. From the past came all faiths, Catholic, Protestant, and Jewish. From the present came new beliefs, new philosophies. And together all these colors and creeds met at DU, sometimes for the first time. On the athletic field they learned to play together, in the classroom they learned to study together. And in the quiet atmosphere of a chapel, they learned to pray together. Some came to DU with bitterness and prejudice, some left with no change in their hearts. But for others, DU offered a chance to know and respect different cultures, different herituges. These left the uni- versity with an awareness rather than words, This is my brother.
