- Notes:
- E.P. Tenney was President of Colorado College from 1876-90, and during that period he pushed aggressively for additional funding to support evangelical education in the "New West." He later wrote that as part of this effort, "at an immense expenditure of time, I had prepared in the office an outline map of our country to show what the colleges of the Old West had done for Home Missions, and the contrasted need of like work in the New West." Tenney 1910, 91. The map was first published in the third edition of Tenney's 1878 work, The New West as Related to the Christian College, which was very successful. Within two years, 75,000 copies were circulated, and "The Map argument was irresistible." Tenney 1910, 92.
