+ ON APRIL 25

The degree men of the alumni of
western Colorado will hold the first
annual banquet at a local hotel on
April % with not less than 100 "old
grads at the festal table.
Word has been received from eX-
Governor Charles S. Thomas that he

the men at that meeting. President
Charles A. Lory of Colorado agricul-
tural college, will be here, as well as
William E. Sweet, the well known
Denver business man.
These three well known Colorado
ans will form an attractive trio of
speakers.
The tentative organization of the
college men will include practically
every profession and will be attend
ed by men. old and young from all
over the Western Slope, many of
whom are prominent in public life.
The committee of which J, NJ.
