School of La w Acting Dean Kolsom THE School of Law of the University of Colorado was organized in 1892. At that time the course of study was co -ered in two years; in 1898 it was increased to three years, which is the present arrangement. The Law School is housed in the Simon Guggenheim Law Building, a gift of the Hon. Simon Guggenheim, a former LJnited States Senator from Colorado. The building was erected in 1909, and contains lecture and class rooms, a large and properly arranged court room for the trial of cases, offices for the professors, and a library consisting of 15,337 bound olumes. The late Moses Hallet, Judge of the Federal Court, was one of the earh ' Deans of the School of Law, as was also the Hon. John Campbell, now a Justice of the Supreme Court of Colorado. Among others whose names have honored the Law School facult ' are Federal Judge John A. Riner and Hon. John H. Dennison, now Justice of the Supreme Court of Colorado; the late Herbert S. Hadley, ex-Go ernor of Missouri, and Chancellor of Washington University; also the late Cabin K. Reed, Edwin Van Cise, and Robert S. Morrison.

)chool of Medicine -i Dean Rees IN 1883, six years after the opening of the University of Colorado, the ITniversity of Colorado School of Medicine was established as a four- year course, which was changed the following year to a three-year course. During the early years of the school there were practically no admission requirements, as there were only about four eastern medical schools that required more than a high school training for admission. In 1902 an attempt was made to increase the curriculum from a three to a four-year course, but this did not succeed until the influence of the American Medical Association in Medical Education was brought to bear in 1906. There was only one other medical school in the State at this time, that of the Medical Department of the Denver University, founded in 1881. Then for a short period (1894-1902) there were four medical schools in Colorado. In addition to the two schools which ha e been mentioned, there were the Gross Medical College of Denver Uni ersity and the Denver Homeopathic College. The Medical College of Denver University and the Gross Medical College were united in 1902 under the name, The Denver and Gross College of Medicine. The Denver Homeopathic College terminated its existence in 1909, and two years later The Denver and Gross College of Medicine was incorporated in the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Since that date it has continued as the only medical school in Colorado. CZc A ' CC A ' Page 24
