)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

This has come about through a rigid adherence to the highest plane of academic stand- ards and a strict observance of the high code of ctiiical ideals sur- rounding the profession. The |)rofession of piiarniacN ' is one of the oldest, ha ing a background of more tlian ti e liiousand ears of will authen- ticated histor -. Since the earK ' dawn of ci ilization it has min- istered to the wants of man, seeking to alleviate his suffering and cure his ills. Since the adoption of the Pure Food and Drug Law by the Federal Congress in 1906, and of similar acts by each of the several stales, the demands for men and women who are trained along the technical lines of food and drug chemistry have ever increased. The result has been to impo.se upon the colleges of pharmacy the burden of ijrejjaring thousands of pharm iceutically trained chemists suliticiently grounded in this broad field to suppK imi only those having to do with the administration of tlie law, but the technical experts emplo ed b - the manufacturers of all food and drug products as well.
