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.

)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

Cl, Business Administration Dean Bushee + • THE School of Business was established in 1925 to succeed the College of Commerce which had been organized in 1906. While the College of Com- merce was merely a department of the College of Arts and Sciences, permitting specialization in business courses and leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts, the School of Business Administration is an independent school in the University, giving a two-years ' course of study in business subjects only and leading to the degree of Bachelor of Business Administration. Its requirements for admission consist of the regular fifteen high school credits and two years of college work. The purpose of the School of Business Administration is to fit ' oung men and women for the more responsible positions in the business world through a threefold training, consisting of a general education, of specialized work in business subjects, and of a social or ethical point of view. The business courses are taught by a well trained faculty of specialists. And a sufficient number of courses is offered to permit students to specialize in the following fields: General Business, Accounting, Banking and Finance, Marketing, and Secretarial Work. Although the School is still small, interest in it is rapidly increasing as is apparent in the fact that registration in the fall of 1927 showed a fifty per cent increase over the previous year. As the School enlarges a greater and greater variety of courses will be offered to meet the needs of the growing student body. The first class was graduated in June, 1927, with fourteen members, and three more received their degrees at the end of the Summer Session. The chief need of the school in the immediate future will be a building of its own, as the present accommodations in the basement of the Law Building are already greath ' o er-crowded. a Page 26 J Jic{jj A C . u Xju i C,J
