Illumination a Feature.
Visitors to Santa Fe during the
Jubilee had their attention attracted
by the magnificent illumination that
was arranged at the top of the college
building. Two rows of vari-colored
electric lights lined the upper portion
OF the edifice over a space of about
100 feet. The electric lights
also extended upwards towards the
large cross surmounting the tower Of
the building Illuminating it with
pleasingly startling effect. The work
OF illumination was unquestionably
the most beautiful and imposing ever
attempted in Santa Fe and caused no
end of favorable comment.
