C. with outstanding examples of leadership: Reverand Thomas Haskell and Dean Clyde Ho/brook. In 1873. when Haskell brought his daughter, Florence, across the bleak Kansas flats into the Territory of Colorado, he found a raw untamed country, where men with their guns loose in their holsters dreamed of gold. Haskell loved the beauty and the granduer of the mountains, and when his daughter died, he decided to found a college in her memory at the foot of Pikes Peak. Through the forceful sincerity with which he presented his idea before the members of the Congregational Church he won their help, and together they assembled the framework of the first accredited college of Colorado. In 1874 Colorado College was founded by a touch of greatness which it has treasured ever since, by a force of vision which it has ever kept. In 1945 when Dean Holbrook came to Colorado College, the outward structure was well established, but he realized that the inner structure of a college is never finished. With infinite understanding and patience in his teachings both in classes and in Chapel, he has shown us a pattern of life based on sound values and on faith. When he enters Dennison University next fall as head of the Depart- ment of Religion he will have left a full page in the history of Colorado College—one that will be read and remembered with great respect and appreciation.

The battle raged furi- ously between a group of stalwart, defending soph- omores and a vicious onslaught of freshmen. To- matoes were abundant. Crowds of impassioned on- lookers gathered. In less than the allotted ten minutes, the freshmen had secured their flag from the 14 foot greased pole. The fight was finished. Dinks and black sweaters were discarded along with green ribbons. Society again became classless. '°°*7^ DURING THE ANNUAL DEBATC- OF THE GREdSED POLE SOCIETY— OF THE LOWER CLASSES Ci ''mi S . rl &XP^.--'.
