O k s c H O L F L A W D N ! IK »i W JH James Grafton Rogers T HE ambition of the School of Law is to equip its students with as rich and intensive a training in law and its methods as can he had anywhere. Year by year we gain some- thing, and the School today believes it offers a modern and sound curriculum, a good physical plant, and library equipment; and, above all, a real standard of achievement. We try — students and faculty alike — to work hard, to think precisely, and to search the machinery of law and government as deeply as we do intensively. We know that char- acter is as essential as learning. We know that industry is as valuable as talent. We require three years of college preparation before admission to the law school. Then we expect three years or more of solid work. Each year we send out twenty-five or thirty students into law, business, or public life, with the expectation that they can hold their own with credit and honor, in any state or any legal post. J.AMES Grafton Rogers, Dean. [21]

t t A O B U S N E S S Elmore Petersen I T MAY be difficult to realize that in the United States half a million business posi ' tions are filled annually by persons to whom such positions represent new engagements. In other words, vacancies caused by death, resignations, retirements, and promotions, and opportunities due to expansion, together, call for 500,000 men and women in busi ' ness each year. Thus briefly, but concretely, has been described the field that is await- ing workers trained for the task. It is in an effort to meet this demand that schools of business have developed in this country. The major problems of business today are essentially problems of management. Recognizing the significance of this fact, the School of Business at the University of Colorado is committed to a program of studies which will prepare the student for a professional career in the business world. This program involves much more than mere familiarity with the technical routine of business activities. That the worker must be equipped with tools is obvious, but the person who enters business today, if he is to be a leader, is required no less to be able to see and to understand the deeper problems of life. Business management calls for broad training and education, not narrow specialization. Elmore Petersen, Dean. [20] t

t L- O L r ' SIC.A ' : ' B,;. N U R S N G Louise Kieninger J9 1 11 N, I O STUDENTS were admitted to the School of Nursing this year, since the school was closed indefinitely on account of the cut in our appropriations. However, the stu- dents who are in the school will remain and finish their course. The course for affiliating students and graduate students in psychiatric nursing, given at our Psycopathic Hos- pital, will be continued. The students taking the pre-nursing course were advised to change their major. Those who wish to continue are being advised as to other schools in which they may study nursing. The school has a reputation for graduating well prepared and well trained nurses, and also for its skilled nursing service. Rather than send out nurses of inferior training, it was decided to discontinue the school until funds are available sufficient to maintain our usual high standards of teaching and of nursing service.
