What a whirlwind of sweet recollection comes o'er me As the old college days to my mind I recall. When the wondering class and professor before me Sat amazed while my wisdom astonished them all. How I tried to tight shy of the foot of my classes, And how my heart thumped at the sound of the bell, All the games and the tricks of the lads and the lasses, But more than all else, I remember the YELL! (Give College yell, everybody yelling.) Refrain— That demoniac shriek that we all gave together, That hysterical, raving, demoniac yell! II. When the withering blasts of senility chiil me, I may lose all the memories of many bright days, The delights of the seasons of youth may not thrill me, While many a joy that now cheers me decays; All the things that I learned and the friends that I cherished, In fond recollection no longer may dwell; But though from my memory all else has perie-hed, I'll always remember that old college YELL! Refrain — COLLEGE YELL. Rick a chick a boom! Rick a chick a boom! Rick a chick a Rick a chick a Boom! Boom! Boom! Hoop la Rah, Hoop la Ree, Hoo Rah! HooRah! C. A. C. I AT THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. (Tane-In the Shadow of His Wings There is Rest.) 1. At the Agricultural College there are boys, tine boys, Boys from city, farm and fountain, Boys from valley, plain and mountain; At the Agricultural College there are boys, smart boys, Don't you worry if they make some noise. Refrain — There are girls (and bo>p) There is work (and glee) There are joys (glad joys) At the dear, old C. A. C. II. At the Agricultural College there are girls, sweet girls, And every mother's daughter Takes to work like ducks to water. At the Agricultural College there are girls, bright girls, With their bangs and ribbons, gowns at d curls. Refrain — III. At the Agricultural Collage they make dough, good dough, Sometimes the boys will eat it, If they do, they don't repeat it. At the Agricultural College all the girls make dough, A nd we'ie mighty ghid 'to have it ^o. Refrain— IV. At the Agricultural College there is a farm, big farm, All the Freshmen have to grub, Don't you kick about it, Bub! At the Agricultural College there's a farm, tiue farm. And the work woD't do you any harm. Refrain— V. At the Agricultural College there's a football team, They get bruised aod gashed and gory, But they cover us with glory. At the Agricultural Cjllege there's a football team, O! don't you hear our eagle scream? Refrain — VI At the Agricultural College there's a Pres-i-dent, He's a celebrated preacher And he makes a dandy teacher. At the Agricultural College there's a President, We can frolic aod he don't care a cent. Refrain— VII. At the Agricultural College there's a choir, great choir. They will get you in their den And warble "Here he is again." At the Agricultural College there's a choir, hot choir, When they sing, they set the town on fire. Refrain — There are girls (and boys) There is work (and glee) There are joys (g:ad joys) At the dear, old C. A. C. COLLEGE ORGANIZATIONS. Organization is the expression of the best modern thought and purpose. The industrial and social world is a labyrinth of organization. Evolved from nature as humanity is, it could not be otherwise than that human effort should follow along the general lines of natural organization. To be truly a preparation for partic- ipation in the world's work, the College should not only teach the history and philosophy of organization but should show its actual workings by concrete examples. Nothing better prepares the student for his influential place among men than the discipline and development conse- quent upon his membership in one or more college organizations. C. A. C. further exemplifies the varied forms of its educational advantages by the number and variety of its student organizations. Superlative among thsse are the class organizations. No College is worthy the name that hinders the normal growth of class spirit. Out of this good natured rivalry comes the atmosphere that distinguishes the real college, vigorous, electric, and accom- plishing from the relic of other days when the student was detected by bis white face and tie, his stoop and halt, his unsophistication and utter ignorance of the great world with which he was soon to mix — a process of great pain both to himself and to his world.

They teach self-control, deeper thinking, extempore address, debate, criticism, book reviewing and social intercourse. It may be somewhat old-fashioned, but the opinion that the literary socie- ties of a college are a fairly accurate thermometer marking its intellectual temperature is not all wrong. Through them the student learns to concrete and give expression to the philosophy, history and demonstration which have come to him in the class- room. Moreover, it fits him for hie place later among men in the Grange, insti- tute, iyceum, social circle, and on the political platform. COLUMBIAN LITERARY SOCIETY. Earl Douglass...

They have this high standing from the fact that without being sectarian, they afford the student an opportunity to develop the religious side of his nature in a practical and sensible way. These associations receive the new students, locate them in comfortable homes and assist them in registration. Also, by receptions and sociables, they greatly help ^to make the ze6t and the esprit de corps of college life. In a quiet way, they seek also, to deepen the student's natural reverence for spiritual truth. Religion is coming more 'and more to mean "a way to do^things." It is more concerned with "how" than with "what" It is a relation between every man and his environment. From the gold in his pocket up through all sentient life to his fellow man and God. Y. W. C.

While the Glee Club is yet in the first year of its founding it has made marked progress both in solo work and ensemble. ihtX ? generously enlivened the Chapel exercises and has assisted in a score or more of entertainments Ihe organization is permanent. With its glees and college songs, and even leading the service of son. the Glee Club has already rendered sTrv sufficiently valuable to warrant its ex- istence.

The Orchestra is an older organization than the Glee Club. There have been few College programs during the last two years that have not been indebted to the Orchestra for their success. During the exercises of Commence- ment Week it is very much in evidence, much to the delight of both students and guests. While it has required no little expense and time to keep the Orchestra at its high point of excellence, its services have always been given to the College freely. The personel is as follows: W. P. Hurley, 1st Violin, Leader, F. E. Schneider, Violin, Ralph Parshall Violin, H. E. Emigh, C met, R. R. Fisk, Cornet, Ray Baxter, Slide Trombone, A. B. Bennett, Bass. Ada Livernash, Pianist, E. K. Baer, Drums and Traps. NATURAL SCIENCE CLUB. It is well to lift the mass of knowledge out of the books and set it in the light of every dav experience. This is particu- larly helpful in the matter of scientific knowledge. Thus it becomes something more than a tissue of theory. It i e vitalized. Not only is it alive but it has been made useful. That the scientific process may be better understood and scientific facts more readily applied to every day life, this Club has been organized. In it are both students and teachers. While interested to a degree in scien- tific research, it has the greater concern for the practical application of scientific methods. Following is the list of officers: James W. Lawrence President Elmer D.Bali Vice-President Louis A. Test Secretary Chas. C. Durkee Treasurer C. P. Gillette Curator of Museum L. G. Carpenter, ) a y p n Gme1tr ard ' •■• ProgramC " m - ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION, It is important that young people who have lead a more or less busy life should not be permitted to enter upon a four years' college course which shall demand of them close application within doors without having provided for them such physical recreation as will counteract the heavy draft upon their nervous energy. Regular and systematic physical exercise is necessary to insure a success- ful college career. Proper heart action; the natural assimilation of food; and a gradual chest expansion are among the results of well- conducted college athletics. It is the purpose of the Faculty to restrain athletics within sensible bounds by encouraging rational contests. Sym- pathetic government is needed here more than in any other phase of college life. The Association is composed of students and members of the Faculty. The Board of Directors must contain at least two members of the Faculty. The officers of the Association are as follows: James H. Andrews President Frank O. Rasmussen Manager Oliver P. Pennock Treasurer C. S. Atherly Secretary Arthur G. Newell Captain Foot Ball Team Lineta Crandall Captain Basket Ball Team Howard Em'gh Captain Base Ball Team Board of Directors: Jas. H. Andrews, H. E. Emigh, F. O. Rasmussen, Prof. E. B. House, President B. O. Aylesworth, T. M. Donelson and Ned V. Tanner. The field meet was held May 4th. The new athletic grounds were in readiness for the base ball season of 1900. Other improvements will be made during the summer. C. A. C. ORATORICAL ASSOCIATION. Noblest among the arts is oratory. It is coming to a splendid revival in the discussions of the great problems now confronting the nation. Nothing in college life arouses more interest than a contest between those who possess the gift of oratory. No- where may it reach a higher develop- ment than among those whose ancestors have been hardy, and whose early life has not been a stranger to the fields and woods and robust health. It is expected that during the coming year a gentleman of recognized ability will have charge of those desiring to study oratory and will give special train- ing to those who enter the contests. Ihe Association was organized in 1892. Its object is to encourage the practice and study of oratory in the College. Students registered in any of the four higher classes may be admitted to mem- bership by vote of the Association. The Association holds two contests each year. One for the members of the Sophomore and Freshman classes; the other for the members of the Senior and Junior classes. The gold medal in the contest of this >ear was won by Earl DougiRBP, '00, and the silver n edal by Oliver P. Pennock, '02. The following are the officers of the Association: E. W. Smith President Austin Downey Vice-President C. G. Brown Secretary Earl Douglass Treasurer R. W. Haynes Sujerintendent of Manuscripts SAN JUAN CLUB. In this loarding club accc n nida- tions Hie had for about forty students. A steward is chosen from among their numter. Into his hards is committed the purchase of supplies. The club fixes by vole the quality of heard, and under the supervision of the Faculty, creates its own regulations. It is a mutual business arrangement that has proved highly successful. The price of board ranges from $2.00 to $2.25 per week. Similar clubs upon a smaller plan are also in operation. The officers are as follows: Ralph. H. Hess President L. Cale Estes Vice-President R. Waddy Tanner Secretary G. Arthur Webb Treasurer Ralph. W. Haynes Steward James N. Clark Senior Auditor William J. McDermitb. .Junior Auditor AGRICULTURAL CLUB. This is an organization of joung men who believe that farming is both a science and an art. That it is the noblest among all the vocations of mam They are banded together for the promotion of the Agricultural Depart- ment of the College, first of all; then, for mutual improvement in every way that befits the calling to which they are devoted. The home life, the literary life, and the social life of the farm engage their attention. They also specialize upon such phases of agriculture and kindred sciences as require original investigation and research by means of treatises and bulletins. Meetings are held every two weeks for the discussion of agricultural subjects and scientific problems of the day. Papers presented by members of the Club are followed by a general dis- cussion. The officers are: William F. Marshall President Waltgen B. Smith Vice-President Fred C. Bishopp . Secretary and Treasu rer R. E. McClave, ) g al T p h W- Haynes, Program Com. ti.

A class of nearly one hundred mem- bers was organized early in the year for the study of Parliamentary law, under the efficient leadership of Ralph H. Hess, assistant in Mathematics. This body repolved itself into various well-known organizations for practice. It will be continued during the year 1900-1001. FARMERS' INSTITUTES. The Agricultural College is not merely for the education of young men and women in the practical sciences, but it is designed to briDg the latest and best information relative to agriculture, to those who need and desire it, in the most direct way possible. To this end Farmers' Institutes have been found the most available means. During the winter months members of the Faculty will meet the agricultur- ists of the various sections of the State in convention and confer with them as to the best methods for the development of Colorado along these important lines. Thus, the results of experimentation in every kind of soil product are brought immediately to those most interested in them. Also, the various foes of fruits Thirteen states and countries repre- sented iu 1900-1901. '' ~ M, snd growing crops and the means for their removal are set forth in short, helpful talks, popularizing the most scientific research, and in general re- ducing scientific investigation* to terms of utility. Institutes were held during the last season at Grand Junction, Glenwood Springs, La Junta, Rocky Ford, Las Animae, Lamar, Longmont, Loveland, Cherrelyn and other points. The Secretary of the Board, Hon. A. M. Hawley, solicits early correspondence with reference to subjects and speakers for the coming year as well as to the organization of. new institutes. The College also holds itself in readi- ness at all times for co-operation with the Granges of the State. In fact it is the servant of the people and has no other reason for existence than to serve the interests of the State and general government. Forty students were enrolled from towns outside of Colorado. BULLETINS. Many valuable bulletins have been issued by the Experiment Station upon subjects of vital interest to the agricul- turists of the State and United States. These are for free distribution. By ad- dressing L. G. Carpenter, Director of the Experiment Station, such bulletins as are not out of print may be obtained at once. If so desired, the name of the correspondent will be put on the perma- nent mailing list. The following bul- letins may be had on application: NO TITLE AUTHOR 33.

In do institution do the students at- tend the Chapel exercises more regu- larly than at O. A. C. The exercises are of great variety. Special attention is given to music, both vocal and instru- mental. The College choir, glee club and orchestra are assisted by soloists. During the Fall term the President reviews the new books and current events, and guests of the College address the students on up-to-date subjects. During the Winter term the members of the Faculty lecture once a week on subjects in line with their special work # In addition, the Sophomores render appropriate selections from the Chapel rostrum. During the Spring term the Juniors deliver original addresses in the presence of the entire college. The productions of both Sophomores and Juniors are reviewed by the President. The Chapel hour is regarded as the There are no fees. crown of t ho cUy, i\ ith its good cheer and fellowship. More than anything else this hour marks the quality of college life. BOOKS. The College Library has been well selected as regards scientific and tech- nical subjects. All the best domestic and foreign periodicals are to be found on its tables. It is free to all the students. Valuable assistance is given students desiring to investigate special subjects. President Aylesworth has placed his large library at the service of the ad- vanced studeots. It is doubtful if it is surpassed by any private library in the State in point of general literature. By combining this excellent literary library with the scientific and historical library of the College, unusual opportunity for general and special reading is afforded. DISCIPLINE. Nowhere in the West may be found better order and more contentment than among the students of C. A. C. There is a mutualism between Faculty and students that not only insures free- dom without familiarity, but the high- est quality of classroom work. There is no long list of rules to be Th^ buildings are all heated by steam and lighted by electricity. evaded. Good behavoir cornea from within, not from without. "Justice" is the general ru-le. The government is inspirational. The consequent discipline, quiet, but effectual. Conscience makes stronger restraint than law. The fact that Fort Collins is free from saloons and their accompanying vices reduces temptation to a mini- mum. An additional safeguard is the "open home" policy of the good people of Port Collins. In the matter of freely granting so- cial intercourse to the students who come from abroad, the city has always had at heart the welfare of the young men and young women who, for a time, are committed to the oversight of THE STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. DOMESTIC SCIENCE. Special provision has been made for young ladies, not only by the "Ladies' Course," which includes the best mod- ern methods of cooking, sewing, and general houpe carp, but by the loyal sup- port given to co-education by the Board and Faculty. The four years' course has for its ob- ject the typical, educated, Colorado woman, ready for the world's w T ork, side by 6ide with her brother, and later, to become a veritable "helpmeet" to her husband. She will solve with him the problems of civilization. THE COLLEGE HERDS. The stock on the College Farm is intended to represent the best of the various breeds and to serve as object lessons to the students. Much money has been expended recently in adding to the stock, and other breeds will be added as fast as the funds of the institution permit. Beef cattle are at present represented by a herd of extra tine reg- istered animals. The bull, Perfection 2d, that stands at the head of this herd, is not equalled anywhere in the State. The Jerseys were chosen to represent dairy cattle, and constitute a herd of choice animals, whose product furnishes material for the use of students in the dairy classes. Sheep are represented by some tine registered Shropshire^ that demonstrate how rapidly it is possible for sheep to grow under Color-id ) conditions of food and climate. There is also a small flock of grade Merinos that is being used for experimental feeding. The pigs on the Farm are Berkshires, of the finest lineage. The foundation stock was selected from some of the best herds of Nebraska and Missouri. It was further improved by importations from Kanfas aid selections from prize winners at the World's Fair at Chicago. Last, but not least, are the heavy teams of Clydesdale that are the pride of the College. I «£ UrinS: X } e Bea60D of flowe rs the Col- lege grounds are a veritable paradise COLLEGE DEPARTMENTS. AGRICULTURE. Tbe course of instruction is designed to educate students for agricultural pursuits and scientific investigations. Some of tbe subjects taught are farm buildings and roads, stock breeding, dairying, nature of soils, practical m - gation, care of live stock, and the fertil- ization and cultivation of crops. The whole course is illustrated by the ex^ perimental work always in progress and is supplemented by daily practical work on the farm and in the laboratory. BOTANY AND HORTICULTURE. Botany-structural and systematic- is taught from text-books and by lec- tures A great variety of plants is a hand. In physiological botany, the students use compound microscopes and have laboratory practice two hours daily An herbarium of native and foreign plants and the greenhouses fur- nish material for study. Inrtruc ionin horticulture is given, principally, by me ans of lectures. Some of tbe subjects considered are vegetable gardening, methods of plant propagation forestry pomology, floriculture, and landscape gardening:. ZOOLOGY AND ENTOMOLOGY. Two terms are given to physiology. The laboratory is well equipped, possess- ing, among other things, a fine series of mounted skeletons; an expensive mani- kin; large models of the eye, brain and ear; and compound and dissecting micro- scopes; microtomes, and dissecting in- struments. Students in Zoology are furnished with all necessary equipment for laboratory work. Particular atten- tion is given to the economic features of entomology. Students prepare the principal insecticide substances and apply them for the destruction of in- sects. CHEMISTRY AND GEOLOGY. Students acquire a thorough mastery of the elementary principles of chemical science. They have two hours' practice daily in the laboratory. Keeping in mind the object for which the College is founded, we have so planned our chemical course as to pre pare the student for the general a pp i - TJi V che , mi8tr y to the industrial arte, while seeking thoroughly to ground *iim in the application of science to Stted^nw-Vh A , Ch6miual Moratory httedupwith modern appliances, bal ance-room, foul-gas room and desks for da'seT* StUdent8 ' iS read * "' 'the Geology receives the attention which its importance as one of the foundations of agricultural science demands CIVIL AND IRRIGATION ENGINEERING. The subject* taught tire irrigation en- gineering, th« materials of engineering surveying, construction of dams and reservoirs, agricultural hydraulic*, trusses and bridges, heterology, and physics. . , The department has fine physical and hydraulic laboratories, a draughting- room, a good supply of standard engineering instruments, testing ma- chines, and a complete set of meteoro- logical instruments. MECHANICAL ENGINEERING. The studies and practice of this de- partment prepare students for the pro- fession of the mechanical engineer. The instruction, theoretical and practi- cal, covers* a wide field. The special studies of this course are as follows : Drawing; carpentry and joinery, also wood-working machinery: pattern mak- ing and foundry work; forge work; machine and vise work in metals ; prin- ciples of mechanism; strength of ma- terials; boders; ihe steam engine; and machine design, machinery, and mill work. MATHEMATICS. The course isTcomprebensive and thorough, especially for the engineering stud .nts. The following subjects re- ceive careful attention : Algebra, geometry, trigonometry, descriptive geo- metry, analytic geometry, and calculus. Other branches of mathematical science are taught in the department in which their knowledge has a special application. HISTORY AND LITERATURE. A well-rounded education includes a somewhat thorough knowledge of his- tory and English literature. These sub- jects are studied throughout the entire course. The development of a literary taste is the aim of this work. Tbe study of the Philos- ophy of History includes such subjects as historical investigation; laws govern- ing human actions; reciprocal influen- ces of religion, literature, and govern- ment; comparisons and criticisms of past civilizations; and the elements found in our present civilization. The College Library is an important factor. Its shelves are well rilled with standard literature, and with works of special interest and assistance to the student of history. RHETORIC. The ability to write a clear and an elegant English sentence is an accom- plishment much to be desired ; and it is a recognized fact that English forms an important branch in all well rounded courses of study. Composition writing and the prepara- tion of orations form an important feature of the work in English. PHILOSOPHY. The courses in Psychology, Logic and Ethics bring to the student the latest findings in these great subjects. There is not only a thorough technical study required, but above everything else the teaching is of such quality as produces good nit zenship. It is as im- portant to know the mind itself as to know discovered truths in order to arrive at noble living. Not only are mental processes but ethical set forth. The way to arrive at a given human condilion is as important as to know the condition itself. CONSTITUTION. SOCIOLOGY. AND POLITICAL ECONOMY. Under the wider generalizations of Sociology, Political Economy is taught as the Fcience of commercial relations, including land, labor and capital. And the Constitution of the United States is presented as the noblest example of both social and commercial relations. "To be loyal, to be ju6t, to be humane," is the triple expreesion of the?e three great sciences. *?> COMMERCIAL COURSE. This course covers a period of two years. Its work is not designed to be a short cut to the business world, but to afford a thorough and practical training for some forms of commercial life and, with this special traiuing, to give some general culture. Some of the subjects taught are spelling, penmanship com- mercial arithmetic, commercial corre- spondence, typewriting, stenography, bookkeeping, commercial law, inter- national law, business practice and bank- ing, elementary algebra, plane geometry, civil government, political economy, United States history, general history, grammar, literature, and composition and rhetoric. MILITARY DEPARTMENT. That military training and military instruction are essential elements in an education is a recognized fact. At the beginning of the Civil War the schools and colleges were few where this branch received any attention. Inconsequence, men who were capable drill masters and fitted for subordinate office in the army were very few. It was in the following year, 1862, that Congress made provision to correct this state of affairs. The "College Land Grant Act" was passed. This was the beginning of what are now known a9 Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges. In colleges established under this act military instruction is made of fundamental importance. It is com- pulsory on all male students of the Agricultural College of Colorado. As a result of this work large num- bers of young men are subjected to military discipline at the time in their lives when it has the best effect. Men who complete the four years' course should be able, if occasion demand, to raise and tit for service an infantry com- pany or battalion. Excellent results have already been made manifest in the quick conversion of citizens into dis- ciplined soldiers, as was the case in the late war. It was, doubtless, the infusion of trained men from college battalions that made this remarkable change pos sible. Even the young man who has no am- bition to be a soldier or to know a sol- dier's duties, is given the physical exercise which produces the elastic step, aids development, and gives easy con- trol of the body. Furthermore, the cadenced step of marching troops, the display of the national flag, the blare of trumpet and the beat of drum will stir in the dullest heart emotions of highest patriotism.
