next September 10th. The trustees

bile route, finding the distance ten

competent critics to be the finest OF
its kind in the state, has nearly sixty

the collegiate department will open

professors is to be $1,000, the deans
So, 500. The maximum may raise to

S., 900. Should DIR. Weaver accept
/ the position of president he will visit
this city this spring to present the
cause of Christian education and in
cidentally to secure students for the
college. The student cause in this
city could find no more popular man
than DIR. Weaver, who did much to
center the efforts of the south" on
La Junta at the time location was
the paramount issue.
The strenuous effort of La Junta
to secure the college plumb has nat
uralIy put her in an enviable position
to secure the next opening. Until
recently it was proposed to make
this institution a great college. Now
that it Is located in Denver, the ef-
fort is to make it peerless in the
lines Of university work with its
professional schools. Our local boost
er is championing this new phase OF
the question. 1T is hoped the uni-
versity may become SO great as to
aitate series OF colleges in the
Rocky Mountain region to become
feeders to the University. This will
be setting a precedent in the educa-
tional world. And at present this
is the most probable likelihood'of a
college for La Junta. i
