who had brought forward the accusations. He refused, and was dismissed. In protest, 23 faculty and staff left the college.

William Slocum returned briefly to Colorado Springs in 1929 to give the principal address at the dedication of General William F. Palmer's statue (on horseback) in downtown Colorado Springs. Mary Slocum died in 1933, and William Slocum died in 1934. In 2018, in light of renewed attention to Slocum's sexual misconduct on the centennial of his departure, Colorado College removed his name from two buildings, took down his portrait, and rescinded an honorary doctorate that it had given him at his resignation. Buildings One of Slocum's greatest contributions to Colorado College was the construction of ten major academic and residential buildings. Slocum took the lead in raising the money to build the new buildings as well as seeing to the construction details. The ten buildings were: Hagerman Hall (1889) - A men's dormitory. Named for James J. Hagerman, a builder/owner of the local Colorado Midland railroad. Romanesque architecture built of peach pink blow sandstone. Torn down in the 1950s. Montgomery Hall (1891) - A women's dormitory modeled after the "cottage" system at Smith College in Northampton, Massachusetts. Included a living room, small infirmary, and a kitchen and pantry. Built of Castle Rock Lava, a grey stone. Coburn Library (1892) - Named for Nathan Parker Coburn, a childhood friend of Slocum, who gave the money. Romanesque architecture built of peach pink blow sandstone, with large arched windows. Torn down in the 1960s. Wolcott (Astronomical) Observatory (1894) - Named for Henry R.
