The town contains 5,000 inhabi- tants, and is beautifully situated about five miles from the foothills, and in full view of Long's Peak and many miles of the Snowy Eange. It is free from saloons and other temptations to an idle and vicious life. It is loyal to the College and its homos are open to the student stranger within its gates. History — The origin of The State Agricultural College of Colorado, like that of its sister institutions in other States, dates back to an act of Congress, passed July 2, 1862. Therein it is proposed to endow in the several States and Territories, by grants of public lands, "a college where the leading object shall be, without escluding other scientific and classical studies, and including mili- tary tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, in such manner as the legislatures of the States may respectively prescribe, in order to promote the liberal and practical ediication of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life." This act gave the College an endowment of 90,000 acres of land. FROM SCOTLAND 14 LOCATION AND HISTORY— Continued In 1872 several enterprising and generous gentlemen gave to tlie State two hundred and forty acres of arable land, which comprises the present college plant. When the State Constitution was adopted, the College, under a provision thereof, became an institution of the State of Colorado. Its location at Fort Collins was confirmed and its management passed into the control of the State, "under such laws and regulations as the General Assembly shall provide." The first class was graduated in 1884. The total number of graduates is a? follows: Regular, 189; commercial, 50; total, 239. The work of the College is carried on in strict conformity with a section of the General Laws of the State, which reads as follows: "The design of the institution is to afford thorough instruction in agri- culture and the natural sciences connected therewith. To effect that object most completely, the institution shall combine physical with intellectual edu- cation, and shall be a high seminary of learning, in which the graduates of the common school, of both sexes, can commence, pursue, and finish a course, ter- minating in thoa'ough theoretical and practical instruction in those sciences and arts which bear directly upon agriculture and kindred industrial pursuits." HORTICULTURAL HALL '5 AGRICULTURAL HALL LITERARY SOCIETIES The literary societies of the C. A. C. are virile. They teach self-control, deeper thinking, extempore address, debate, criticism, book reviewing and social intercourse. It may be somewhat old-fashioned, bnt the opinion that the literary so- cieties of a college are a fairly accurate thermometer marking its intellectual temperature is not all wrong. Through them the student learns to concrete and give expression to the philosoph}', history and demonstration which have come to him in the class- room. Moreover, it fits him for his place later among men in the Grange, insti- tute, lyceum, social circle, and on the political platform. 17 T. M. C. A. AND r. W. C. A. These have high standing from the fact that without being sectarian they afEord tha student an opportunity to develop the religions side of liis nature in a practical and sensible way. These associations receive the new students, locate them in comfortable homes, and assist them in registration. Also, by receptions and sociables, they greatly help to make the zest and the esprit de corps of college life. In a quiet way, they seek, also, to deepen the student's natural reverence for spiritual truth. Eeligion is coming more and more to^mean "a right way to do things." COLLEGE SPRING l8 EVENING ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION It is important that young people who have led a more or less busy life should not be permitted to enter upon a four-years' college course which shall demand of them close application within doors without having provided for them such physical recreation as will counteract the heavy draft upon their nervous energy. Regular and systematic physical exercise is necessary to insure a success- ful college career. Proper heart action, the natural assimilation of food, and a gradual chest expansion are among the results of well-conducted college athletics. It is the purpose of the Faculty to restrain athletics within sensible bounds by encouraging rational contests. Sympathetic government is needed here more than in any other phase of college life. The Association is composed of students and members of the Faculty. The Board of Directors must contain at least two members of the Faculty. A new gymnasium will be ready September, 1903. 19 C. A. C. ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION Noblest among the arts is oratory. It is coming to a splendid revival in the discussions of the great problems now confronting the nation. Nothing in college life arouses more interest than a contest between those who possess the gift of oratory. Nowhere may it reach a higher development than among those whose ancestors have been hardy, and whose early life has not been a stranger to the fields and woods and robust health. It is expected that during the coming year a gentleman of recognized ability will have charge of those desiring to-.study oratorj^, and will give special training to those who enter the contests. The Association was organized in 1892. Its object is to encourage the practice and study of oratory in the College. Students registered in any of the four higher classes may be admitted to membership by vote of the Associa- tion. - The Association holds two contests each year — one for the members of the Sophomore and Freshman classes ; the other for the members of the Senior and Junior classes.

That it is the noblest among all the vocations of man. They are banded together for the promotion of the Agricultural Depart- ment of the College, first of all; then, for mutual improvement in every way that befits the calling to which they are devoted. The home life, the literary life, and the social life of the farm engage their attention. They also specialize upon such phases of agriculture and kindred sciences as require original investigation and research by means of treatises and bulletins. Meetings are held every two weeks for the discussion of agricultural sub- jects and scientific problems of the day. Papers presented by members of the Club are followed by a general discussion. TEST FOR TUBERCULOSIS FARMERS' INSTITUTES The Agricultural College is not merely for the education of young men and women in the practical sciences, but it is designed to bring the latest and best information relative to agriculture to those who need and desire it, in the most direct way possible. To this end Farmers' Institutes have been found the most available means. During the winter months members of the Faculty will meet the agri- culturists of the various sections of the State in convention and confer with them as to the best methods for the development of Colorado along these important lines. Thus, the results of experimentation in every kind of soil product are brought immediately to those most interested in them. Also, the various foes of fruits and growing crops and the means for their removal are set forth in short, helpful taUcs, popularizing the most scientific research, and, in general, reducing scientific investigations to terms of utility. FORGE ROOM FARMERS' INSTITUTES— Continued Institutes were held during the last season at Grand Junction, Glen- wood Springs, La Junta, Eocky Ford, Las Animas, Lamar, Longmont, Love- land, CherreljTi and otlier points. The Secretary of the Board, Hon. A. M. Hawley, solicits early corre- spondence with reference to subjects and speakers for the coming year, as well as to the organization of new institutes. The College also holds itself in readiness at all times for co-operation with the Granges of the State. In fact, it is the servant of the people, and has no other reason for existence than to serve the interests of the State and general government. 23 NORTH GATE BULLETINS Many valuable bulletins have been issued by the Experiment Station upon subjects of vital interest to the agriculturists of the State and the United States. These are for free distribution. By addressing L. G. Carpenter, Di- rector of the Experiment Station, such bulletins as are not out of print may be obtained at once.

There is a mutualism between Faculty and students that not only insures freedom without familiarity, but the highest quality of classroom work. There is no long list of rules to be evaded. Good behavior comes from within, not from without. "Justice" is the general rule. The government is inspirational. The consequent discipline quiet, but effectual. Conscience makes stronger restraint than law. The fact that Fort Collins is free from saloons and their accompanying vices reduces temptation to a minimum. An additional safeguard is the "open home" policy of the good people of Fort Collins. In the matter of freely granting social intercourse to the students who come from abroad the city has always had at heart the welfare of the young men and young women who, for a time, are committed to the oversight of THE STATE AGEICULTUEAL COLLEGE. STUDENT SURVEYING PARTY Z7 MACHINE ROOM AGRICULTURE The course of instruction is designed to educate students for agricultural pursuits and scientific investigations. Some of the subjects taught are farm buildings and roads, stock breeding, dairying, nature of soils, practical irriga- tion, care of live stock, and the fertilization and cultivation of crops. The whole course is illustrated by the experimental work always in progress, and is supplemented by daily practical work on the farm and in the laboratory. The College Farm is not only experimental but model. The best scien- tific and practical farming is exploited. The students themselves aid in the work, superintended by the most skillful agriculturists. 28 BOTANY AND HORTICULTURE Botany — strvictural and systematic — is tanglit from text-books and by lectures. A great variety of plants is at hand. In physiological botany the students use compound microscopes and have laboratory practice two hours daily. An herbarium of native and foreign plants and the greenhouses furnish material for study. Instruction in horticulture is given, principally, by means of lectures. Some of the subjects considered are vegetable gardening, methods of plant propagation, forestry, pomology, floriculture and landscape gardening. WAITING CIFIL AND IRRIGATION ENGINEERING The subjects taught are irrigation engineering, the materials of engineer- ing, surveying, construction of dams and reservoirs, agricultural hydraulics, trusses and bridges, meterology, and physics. The department has fine physical and hydraulic laboratories, a draughting room, a good supply of standard engineering instruments, testing machines, and a complete set of meteorological instruments. 29 COLLEGE RESERVOIR MECHANICAL ENGINEERING The studies and practice of this department prepare students for the profession of the mechanical engineer. The instruction, theoretical and prac- tical, covers a wide field. The special studies of this course are as follows : Drawing; carpentry and joinery, also wood- working machinery; pattern mak- ing and foundry work; forge work; machine and vise work in metals; prin- ciples of mechanism; strength of materials; boilers; the steam engine; and machine design, machinery and mill work. 30 A CAMPUS CURVE MATHEMATICS The course is comprehensive and thorough, especially for the engineering students. The following subjects receive careful attention: Algebra, geome- try, trigonometry, descriptive geometry, analytic geometry, and calculus. Other branches of mathematical science are taught in the department in which their knowledge has a special application. CATTLE YARD 31 A SCRIMMAGE CHEMISTRY AND GEOLOGY Students acquire a thorousjh mastery of the elementary principles of chemical science. They have two hours practice daily in the laboratory. Keeping in mind the object for which the College is founded, we have so planned crar chemical course as to prepare the student for the general appli- cation of chemistry to the industrial arts, while seeking thoroughly to ground him in the application of science to agriculture. A chemical laboratory fitted up with modern appliances, balance-room, foul gas room, and desks fox thirty- six students, is ready for the classes. Geolog}' receives the attention which its importance as one of the founda- tions of agricultural science demands. 32 ZOOLOGY AND ENTOMOLOGY Two terms are given to physiology. The laboratory is well equipped, possessing, among other things, a line series of mounted skeletons; an expen- sive manikin; large models of the eye, brain and ear; and compound and dissecting microscopes; microtomes, and dissecting instruments. Students in zoology are furnished with all necessary equipment for laboratory work. Particular attention is given to the economic features of entomology. Stu- dents prepare the principal insecticide substances and apply them for the destruction of insects. SURVEYING PARTY 33 BASKET BALL TEAI HISTORY AND LITERATURE A well-rounded education includes a somewhat thorough knowledge of history and English literature. These subjects are studied throughout the entire course. The development of a literary taste is the aim of this work. The study of the philosophy of history includes such subjects as historical investigation ; laws governing human actions ; reciprocal influences of religion, literature and government; comparisons and criticisms of past civilizations; and the elements found in our present civilization. The College Ijibrary is an important factor. Its shelves are well filled with standard literature, and with works of special interest and assistance to the student of history. 35 STUDENTS SURVEYING !N MOUNTAINS RHETORIC The ability to write a clear and an elegant English sentence is an ac- complishment much to be desired; and it is a recognized fact that English forms an important branch in all well-rounded courses of study. Composition writing and the preparation of orations form an important feature of the work in English. STUDENTS SURVEYING LONG'S PEAK 36 CLASS IN COOKING PHILOSOPHY The courses in Psychology, Logic and Ethics bring to the student the latest findings in these great subjects. There is not only a thorough technical study required, but above every- thing else the teaching is of such quality as produces good citizenship. It is as important to know the mind itself as to know discovered truths in order to arrive at noble living. Not only mental processes but ethical are set forth. The way to arrive at a given human condition is as important as to know the condition itself. 37 HALF MAST FOR PRKSIDENT McKINLEY DOMESTIC SCIENCE Special provision has l^een made for yoiing ladies, not only by the "Ladies' Course," which includes the best modern methods of cooking, sewing and general house care, but by the loyal support given to co-education by the Board and Faculty. The four years' course has for its object the typical, educated, Colorado woman, ready for the world's work, side by side with her brother, and, later, to become a veritable "helpmeet" to her husband. She will solve with him the problems of civilization. MAIN BUILDING 38 S0CI0L0G7' While sociology is a new science and as yet somewhat speculative, it offers a body of fact and philosophy sufficient to shape the opinions and the life of college students. The aim in this is to discover those human relation- ships which make for happiness; also, to develop in the student his highest human value as a member of society, in the belief that stronger units make stronger compounds. Much reading is required in this work, chiefly of current literature. The progress of modern thought is closely watched. JUNIOR TROPHY CUP 39 BEST IN COLORADO VETERINARY SCIENCE A long cherished plan of the State Board of Agriculture has been realized at last in the establishment of a full course of Veterinary Science and Surgery. The work will begin in the Sophomore year of the regular course. Thorough and systematic instruction will be given in anatomy, bacteriology, materia medica, principles and practice, and therapeutics. Afternoon work will be devoted to clinics in the laboratory. The aim of the course is to prevent animal disease, losses from which are increasing annually. The relation of animal disease to the human body will be not only a matter of research, but will result in the publication of invaluable bulletins. 40 LAVATORY COLLEGE STATION 41 ARCHITECTURE The State Agricultural College has the lionor to have initiated this de- partment in Western schools. A four years' course is offered, cowering both the art and practical side of designing and construction. Any one who may have completed this course will not go into his profes- sion as a bungler. ISTot only will buildings be safer, but nioxe beautiful. In addition to the regular course of studies lectures will be given by eminent architects of Denver and elsewhere. NEW HORSE BARN ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING The Board has not been able to longer resist the demands made upon it by patrons and students for a course in Electrical Science. It is not only included in the list of subjects permissible under the Morrill Act, but is so related to all industrial life that all skilled workmen should know something of it. An electrical building is in progress of erection. By September 1, 1903, this department will be ready for service. 42 CHEMICAL BUILDING COMMERCIAL COURSE This course covers a period of two j'ears. Its wotIv is not designed to be a short cut to the business world, but to afford a thorough and practical train- ing for some form of commercial life and, with this special training, to give some general culture. Some of the subjects taught are spelling, penmanship, commercial arithmetic, commercial correspondence, typewriting, stenography, bookkeeping, commercial law, international law, business practice and bank- ing, elementary algebra, plane geometry, civil governnrent, political economy. United States history, general history, grammar, literature, and composition and rhetoric. 43 "^-'^^^^f--^ MAIN BUILDING MILITARY DEPARTMENT That military training and military instruction are essential elements in an education is a recognized fact. At the beginning of the Civil War the schools and colleges were few where this branch received any attention. In consequence, men who were capable drill masters and fitted for subordinate office in the army were very few. It was in the following year, 1862, that Congress made provision to cor- rect this state of ailairs. The "College Land Grant Act" was passed. This was the beffinning of what are now known as Agricultural and Mechanical 44 HOG BARN MILITARY DEPARTMENT— Continued Colleges. In colleges established under this act military instruction is made of fundamental importance. It is compulsory on all male students of the Agricultural College of Colorado. As a result of this work large numbers of young men are subjected to military discipline at the time in their lives when it has the best effect. Men who complete the four years' course should be able, if occasion demand, to raise and fit for service an infantry company ot battalion. Excellent results have already been made manifest in the quick conversion of citizens into disci- plined soldiers, as was the case in the late war. It was, doubtless, the infusion of trained men from college battalions that made this remarkable change possible. Even the young man who has no ambition to be a soldier or to loiow a soldier's duties is given the physical exercise which produces the elastic step, aids development, and gives easy control of the bodj^ Furthermore, the cadenced step of marching troops, the display of the national flag, the blare of trumpet and the beat of drum will stir in the dullest heart emotions of highest patriotism. 45 FLAG RAISING THE POLITICAL SCIENCES Especial attention is given to the study of the political sciences — the Con- stitution of the United States and its historj^, political economy, irrigation law, international law. These topics are preceded by a thorough course in history. Text-books are supplemented by lectures which bring the applica- tions of recognized principles in economics and in jurisprudence down to the events of the present time, so as to better illustrate the same, and impress the duties of good citizenship upon the mind of the student. The work of no 46 COLORADO HOME-MAKERS State educational institution, no matter what its sjDecial function may be, can be considered as satisfactory unless its graduates shall be thoroughly in- structed in the principles of free republican government, the necessity of main- taining the absolute purity of the elective franchise, and the rights and duties of citizenship. Popular government rests on the intelligence and integrity of the people, and this idea is kept prominentl}^ in view by the State Agri- cultural Colletre. CAMP A Y L S W O R T H 47 FOUNDRY Over one hundred towns and cities of Colorado are represented in the student body. Student labor is placed on a rational basis. Those work who need help. The work is well done. There are no matriculation fees nor tuition charges. The college is absolutely free to all who enter. STUDENTS MEASURING LONG'S PEAK 48 SOFT BUT FIRM The ladies are drilled by a competent woman in Phj'sical Culture. To many this is as valuable as mental training. Health, grace and strength fol- low. Brain work is keener, emotions subjected to the will. IRRIGATING THE CAMPUS 49 ^ THE PROPOSED IRRIGATION BUILDING In no State is irrigation so important as in Colorado. Sevent\'-five per cent, of the State's values depend upon it. In no irrigation State is the educa- tional equipment for teaching irrigation so inadequate. Professor L. G. Carpenter is, without question, the greatest instructor in the science of irriga- tion in America. With such a teacher, with hundreds of students, with so great needs as are now upon the State, it would be disgraceful to longer handicap the work. The double cut at the front of this book shows the proposed building for Civil and Irrigation Engineering. The building will cost about $60,000. It will cost not less than $30,000 more to equip it. Mr. Carpenter's woxk for Colorado has been, and is, worth all the entire institution has cost the State, hampered though he has been by lack of equipment.
