UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO.
Institution at Boulder Ranks Very
High as an Educator.

The State University Of Colorado at
Boulder this summer is scene of in
tense activity. The improvements now
going on are, however, only an endeav-
or to supply necessary accommodations
and facilities for the work Immediate
" at hand. During the five years of
President Bakers administration the
attendance at the university has in
creased at the rate of about one hun
dred year. New chairs have been
established in the older faculties and
new schools and departments have been
added The regents have also appro-
priated annually fully six thousand dol
lars for new books and scientific ap-
paratus In this way the institution
has rapidly outgrown previous condi-
tions and the improvements and en-
largements now in progress were in alb
solute demand. The buildings that are
being erected are chemical laborato-
ry, a gymnasium and an additional sto-
ry to the mechanical building. The
construction Is Of brick with stone
trimmings and the architectural design
rs very attractive. The campus is now
adorned with eleven buildings arranged
along the sides Of the large quadran-
gle and constituting by far the finest
collection of educational buildings in
the state. The university, now in the
twentieth year Of Its existence, is as
suming large proportions. This sue
cess is very gratifying and speaks well
for the educational appreciation of the
people of Colorado, who maintain at the

No Colorado child has any excuse for
illiteracy. The state has removed every
obstacle from the steep paths of learn
Ing Moreover, the excellent school sys-
tenn Is the foundation of a true democ-
racy, since the institutions maintained
by the state and giving knowledge free
to the wealthy and the INDECENT alike
are so good that money can buy no bet
ter opportunities.
Because 1.-The greatest good to the
greatest number should be the motto
of the public schools, and because less
than 5 per cent of the pupils reach the
high schools, attention is being concen-
trated on primary education. Last year
there was a total enrolment of 9i,6S6 in
the public schools. OF this number 4,472
were enrolled in high schools.
The institutions of higher education in
Colorado are extraordinary in their eff
cheney, and stand on the plane occu-
pied by the most famous colleges in
older states. The University Of Colo

ture. mechanical, civil and irrigation

Kind in the West.
The Gross Medical college Of Denver
is the medical department of the Rocky
Mountain university, incorporated un-
der the laws of the state Of Colorado,
May Z, 1887. This university, by its char
ter is vested with power to establish
departments of letters, arts and sciences
and to confer all the degrees usually
conferred by similar institutions.
The Gross Medical college now re-
quires four years of medical instruction
for graduation. Students who commenc-
ed the study of medicine prior to the
session of 1867 may apply for gradua-
tion after having completed three
courses Of lectures.
Instruction is given by didactic and
clinical lectures, Rotations, demon
strations and laboratory exercises. The
clinical and manual training is obtain
ed in the various hospitals of the city
and in the college and the dispensary
clinics. In this way the eye and the
hand are educated as well as the brain.
The anatomical department is provid-
ed with commodious and we'll lighted
lecture rooms; while the anatomical lab
oratory Is the largest and best appoint
ed in the state of Colorado.
The methods Of instruction in this de-
partment are thorough and practical,
and all didactic lectures are illustrated
and demonstrated upon the cadaver
and with models, colored drawings and
preparations from the abundant collec-
ton Of the college museum.
Special pathology will be taught dur
ing the third year by lectures, demon
strations and post mortem examtna-
tions. The autopsies at the county hos
pital are open to all students Of the
third and fourth year.
The Midwifery dispensary is operat-
ed for the purpose of giving practical
and personal instruction In obstetrics,
to students Of the senior class.
Each case, one month before term, Is
assigned to a senior student, who makes
a diagnosis of the presentation and po-
sition, by abdominal palpation and aus
cultation. At term this student confines
the patient under the personal direction
of the clinical instructor of obstetrics.
After student has had several cases
under such direction he is allowed to at
tend cases alone.

One of the Most Complete of the

The Colorado Sanitarium, located at
Boulder, Colo, offers to those who are
suffering from any chronic disease ev-
cry possible means Of regaining their
health with the greatest ease, and to
those who are weary and worn with the
cares and responsibilities Of life har-
Dor Of rest, quiet and comfort. Here
the health seeker will find nature offer
ing the best gifts-pure air, which is
indeed pure, Sunshine which seems al
most ever present; and an abundance
of the purest water, and these when ac-
companied by every appliance and
method which science has proved to be
useful in the treatment Of disease; ply
sicians of long experience in sanitar-
ium work; trained nurses who are con-
scientious and attentive even to antic-
ipating the wants of those under their
care; cheerful and pleasant surround
ings; and a careful regulation Of the
daily life of the patient, certainly offer
the very best possible means to the in
valid for regaining his health in the
shortest time and most comfortable
manner.
The best minds of the medical profess
sion are coming more and more to rec
ognize the fact that there are certain
chronic disorders which can be better
treated in a well-equipped and scien-
tifically conducted sanitarium than by
any other means.

eral arts, by Miss Fisher, professor of
English literature.
The school of theology is to be
strengthened this year by the addition
of the Rev. DR.. Anthony of California,
who takes the instructions in homilet-
les and pastoral theology.
The school Of medicine has taken a
marked step in advance. The addition
of some twelve to fifteen members of
the late medical school faculty of the
University of Colorado, with others,
makes the faculty Of the medical school
much stronger than it has ever been
and one of the strongest in the whole

The school of dentistry is already
hard at work in anticipation of the

expectation being based upon enroll

The school of law, which Is one of the
youngest departments, has large plans

WONDERFUL
Colorado Offers Climatic Induce
meRts for Students That Are
Marvellous.


Whatever other advantages the IN
stitutions of learning may have In Colo
RADIO, there is the advantage of fine
climate, a condition that but few in all
the United States can present. thereby
presenting an inducement which cannot
be overlooked in the search for educa-
ton. The Rocky mountain climate Is
pronounced to be as fine as any In the
world and statistics are in evidence
that students graduate through the
courses of our institutions in better
health and physical condition than in
any Of the other states.
At an altitude of from 5000 to 6,000
feet above sea level, a most invigorat-
ing atmosphere prevails, which Is per-
petually refreshed from the snow
capped mountains of the surrounding
region, and students do not become
study-worn and fatigued, as in the cli-
mate Of a lower altitude. The blood Of
the system keeps in constant healthful
condition from the benefcent influences
of the ever-prevailing pure air, the
nerves are kept in active working order,
the heart pursues its pulsating course

LAWYERS.

If Denver wanted to point with pride
to any one thing in the city she would
wait until her lawyers gathered at some
great case. The exigencies of mining,
and rapid industrial and civil extension
have so exercised the brains of a natur-
ally law loving and conservative COM
munity that the practice of law has
demanded the finest intellects Of the
country. The lawyers of Denver have
favor beyond the Atlantic and have re-
ceived the honor of caricature in "Har-
per's Weekly" and Punch" with the
statesmen of the country and of the
United Kingdom.

Contractors for the building Of water
and electrical power plants have, with
in the past few years found Denver a
lucrative field. There is one firm here
now doing about two-thirds Of all the
work in this line. The field is not con-

cludes the whole state, besides Wyo-
ming, Utah and New Mexico. The firm
in question is at present constructing a

The reason that the immense product
