President Farrand came to Colorado
as the president of our State University
less than two years ago. Since his
coming several departments in the Uni
versity have been reorganized and
placed on more substantial basis and
the university as whole has enjoyed
a most gratifying growth in enroll
ment and equipment.
Before coming to Colorado President
Farrand was professor of anthropology
at the University of Columbia in New
York City. In connection with his re-
search work in this department he
lived for some considerable time among
the Indians, and his lecture will be
based upon personal study made al
that time. The lecture affords an op-
portunity to hear the impressions of
one who has studied Indian life at first
hand and compared the different inter-
ests attitudes and activities of the In
dians with those Of other people in n
broad and scientific way. The lecture
should be interesting to old and young
alike.
President Farrand has had extensive
experience as public speaker. He
served for ten years as general secrs-
tary of the American Anti-Tubercu-
losis association, being especially pre-
pared to do this work because of his
having pursued medical course in his
younger days. A great deal Of the
success of the Anti-Tuberculosi move
ment is due to the efforts of President
Farrand.
