A University
OF Great Scope

The Western University has just
opened its seeond quarter with an ell
rollment beyond the expectations of
many of its warmest friends.
Few schools in the country have
started under more auspicious cir
cumstances and with an outlook that
portended more for the future
Grand Junction and the Western
Slope has never done things by hal
yes and the building of a great edu-
cational institution will be no except
ion to that rule. No enterprise start
ed by our people has met with more
hearty commendation or given prom
Use of more loyal support. Just
now plans are being matured for
the securing of large acreage of
land which is essential to the carry
ing out of the plans as formulated
by the Board of Trustees.
That the people of this locality will
give every assistance in their power
to the securing and improvement of
the land the erection of buildings
goes without saying.
The plan and scope of the Univer-
sity aims to meet the needs of that
great army of our young men and
women who are in need of special
training along the lines of their fu-
ture vocations. 1t will be the aim to
make of them better citizens by max
ing them more efficient in their life
work. Appeal is also to be made to
that large class of young men and
women who have already entered up
on their career but realize that their
preparation has been inadequate to
their needs. The plan of laying out
all courses by subjects is a feature
that makes this entirely practical
without in the least degree disturb
ing the general efficiency or strength
of the work along the solid and COM
prehensive lines of broad educa-
tion.
The present corps of teachers have
been selected with great care and

So far this school year over 1000
pupils have been enrolled. There are
21O pupils in the high school, the
highest number ever enrolled in that
important department.
So rapidly have the schools grown
during the past year that the prob
lem of comfortably caring for all the
pupils has been serious one. Each

fact a big new building was erect
