SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION li. B. A. IF, AS it has been asserler!, all education is an ex- periment, it is certain that an educition for business is a true adventure. Kducational oi)i)oriunities wen- instituted first for clerK ' nien, wlio were lonjj the most important men in the communit -: and the - were generally accepted as leaders in the crusades of this life as well as in the great athenture of the next. Soon, however, the educated teacher was added to the community as a second social leader. Afterwards the list was extended to embrace other professions: and doctors and law ers were trained not onl - to utilize the specialized knowledge in their respective fields but al.so to conceal, deftb ' , their ignorance in other lines, one of the earmarks of the cducatec ' man. 1)1- AN F. A. BusHliE We ha e now grown accustomed to educated |)r()lcssi()iiai men. .Societx ' tolerates them in its good-natured way. It is even rather proud ot the la ' t that professional men ha e been compelled to enter the lists and struggle against an abstract foe before the - can actualK ' begin to operate upon a submissive public. Hut how about the business man.- ' He has al a s been self-made and has prided himself on being so. Will societ ' e er agree to enlarge the ranks ot the crusaders and admit the great mass of business men ; and, on the other hand, will the business men themselves ever submit to the discipline necessary for entrance into the exclusive ranks of the cultured.- ' The imposition of a discipline which is tolerated b - the few might prove unacceptable if imposed upon the manv. Herein lies the troublesome question, shall Mr. Business Man also be dubbed a knight of learning? This cjuestion cannot be answered positively for it in ()lves the uncertainty- of adventure. The prospective business man is not like unto others; he cannot be forced into a stereotyped training. He must pick and choose for himself, so that, if the experiment shriuld chance to be successful. he ma ' say, I did the thing myself. riu- .Schools of Business Administration all o -ei the countr - are, then, engaged in a difficult and delicate quest. If the adventure is a failure, society will drift back to its former position of uninteresting mediocrity; but if it is successful, think of its possibilities! Culture will be spread broadcast, effiiiency will become general, and societ ' will make rapid strides toward perfection! Let us press forward boldl - with this new venture. I-KI.DIKK K . .

k m II K COLLEGE OF MUSIC B. Mus. OPPORTUNITIES in the musical profession have increased very noticeably in the past five years. In spite of the effect of the radio upon concerts of all kinds, the public interest in music has shown a most encouraging advance. Education has come to recognize the cultural and the mental benefits of musical training. So much so that music in the public schools of America has gained an amazing momentum. The evidence I if tlie almost universal school band and orchestra and the keen competition of the school music con- tests indicates musical activity unprecedented. In fact it may be said to have indulged in a Crusade imitating the lives and hearts of our people, par- Dean R. W . Dunham ticularly the young folks throughout this great land of ours. The purpose of our own musical activity in the College of Music is the furthering of musical culture in any possible manner. There is the active and highK- specialized training to students whose talents and tendencies have led them to enroll with us. All of our faculty members are thoroughly equipped to develop instrumentalists and vocalists professionally. Besides this particular task we have a broader and perhaps bigger task in the field of the University at large. To interest a rather busy student body in things musical is no small undertaking. Yet we do reach a group of two or three hundred students directly by means of training in the two glee clubs, the band and the orchestra. Through the medium of these organizations almost everybody on the campus receives some enjoyment. The work done in this direction is not in any sense high brow nor is it intended to be so. The enjoyment of good music of a purely entertaining nature is one of the greatest pleasures there is, and one which the College of Music appreciates and intends to foster. We started the Song Fest two years ago; the success of the competi- tions surpassed our fondest hopes. Now the music of the operetta is also under our general direction. The Musical Crusade at the University ' is thus diversified and directed into channels that ought to reach every young woman and ' oung man who has a response in his heart to music in any form.

k SCHOOL OF NURSING B. S. Louise Kieninger A S WE trace the professional progress of our School - of Nursing, one of the first University Schools of Nursing in the United States, from its organization in 1892 — shortly after a 40-bed hospital had been estab- lished on the campus of the University — to the present time, we see great gains. From a school in a 40-bed hospital, with a 2- year high school entrance requirement and a class of 3 students, the School has progressed to one in a 250-bed hospital, whose entrance requirements are those of the College of Arts and Sciences, and with a class of 50 students. It has established a combined course of college work and nursing, not only in our own University, but in the University of Denver and in Colorado College. The aim of modern nursing education is to broaden the conception of nursing service. Nursing has evolved from the emotional — when the will to do and the desire for service sufificed — and from the technical — when the whole stress was placed upon working out adequate means for the physical care of the sick — to a higher level of educational work and a different type of educational progress. It places more stress on principles and less on repetitive training, and gives em- phasis to trained minds as well as hands, and to the human and social side of nursing as well as to the scientific and technical side. The School has for its laboratories the Medical Group in Denver, the Public Health Department, and the National Jewish Hospital. Thus it gives to its students the keys to that vast storehouse of accumulated scientific and socialized knowledge that they may make their ideals efTective. In the mental or psychopathic nursing, the school offers a course to graduate students; also a course in psychiatric social service to graduate students with college background and public health training. To accredited schools of nursing it offers affiliation for psychiatric, pediatric, surgical, medical and obstetrical nursing. Three s chools have availed themselves of this opportunity. The -School not only ranks as an outstanding .School of Nursing for students, but is recognized in educational and research programs for its faculty, staff of instructors, supervisors and head nurses. Graduates of the School are filling im- portant positions as educators in this and foreign countries. Louise Kieninger, Director. Page 2h
