Colorado should build up a great
university At Boulder is located
what purports to be the state univer
sity. Il is a splendid educational
institution, but in our Judgment lasks
many of the qualifications of great
university. such as we are taught to
consider are universities.
A few days ago at Golden, at the
School of Mines. was dedicated a mag
niiicent buiidiug. the munihcent giIu
of one of Colorado's foremost .citl-
zens. In our Judgment it would have
been far better TO have decreed that
The School of Mines should have been
removed to Boulder and there have
erected that splendid building. We
believe that the force of the uni
versity will never be felt as great
state institution. until there is gather
ed there all those departments that
make up great university and which
10 some extent are now scattered.
Those departments that are now
fully established at Boulder at the
SUIT AlANtl 7lA AE al W NA iOAA-
structed. as are those of the large uni
versities OF the east that have been in
existence for so much longer than the
I Colorado institution. We believe
that beginning should be made at
once to oongregate at the home of
the State University all those depart
ments which would contribute to
the making of great seat of learn
ing in the west
In pleading the cause of great
university in this state, We do not de
sire to rob any section of Institutions
which already exist and have become
| part of that community. However,
an equivalent should be given those
towns and cities and they in the end
would see the wisdom of the action
which would make one great central
university in this state.
Some few people who affect to see
nothing quite so good in the west. as
can be found in the east, are unneces-
sarily troubled with the idea that
no school. college or university can
equal such educational institutions
as are found in the eastern country.
We believe and fear no contra
diction that our university is the peer
OF any of the great eastern institu-
tions 1t has not of course the ira
ditions surrounding il. nor has it the
money received from endowments
with which to purchase the brains
and ability of those men who have
long ago made their great reputa-
tions in educational work. But il
has something better. il has young
men OF ambition. men of great zeal
and cf laarnins. whose knowledge
and equipment compare most favor
ably with the most advanced ideas
in university work
We have hope for the state that
it viii see. before many years elapse
thar it would be far better TO pay
again Tor the,buildings now erected in
which departments of the university
now exist and gather them under one
great head and under one great sys-
tenn. as great Colorado university.
With the new organization of the
bioycllsts OF the city. they should
make conditions pretty hot for the
men who destroy the paths. We
viii say this for their comfort that
we Will prosecute any man. it mat
ters not who he may be who is found
riding on these paths and against
whom the organization files com
plant
We confidently believe and always
have believed that there are pat
riots who could transact all the bust
ness OF the government OF this city
far better than those entrusted with
the work Such individuals are usu-
ally found carrym ing on the business
of the public on the street corners
OF the city. but nine chances to ten
their back yards are unkempt and
many things undone in which they
could find play for their talents but
which they neglect as they would
any other work entrusted to their
care.

Did YOU ever stop 10 think that
when a business man looks for q clerk
he does not hunt for the youth who
talks sassy" uses slang, smokes
cigarettes or taps on beer kegs? They
look for the boy who is neat in ap-
pearance, genlemanly in his actions.
clean in his talk and courteous to
those whom he meets Although you
may think that no one watches YOU or
knows your character, IL is safe to Say
there Is not business man in town
but who knows the character of every
boy in it. II you wish TO become "a
useful man it is YOU and YOU alone
that must accomplish it,
