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.

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.

K D M E D C N E IHIRTY years ago there were four schools of medicine in Colorado, namely: University of Colorado, University of Denver, Gross Medical College, and Westminster Medical College. All these schools were located in Denver and Boulder. The Westminster School had a short existence of three or four years. The Denver and Gross Schools united into one school, known as the Denver and Gross College of Medicine. In 191 1, the latter school affiliated with the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Since 1911, the University of Colorado School of Medicine has had no competitor in the State of Colorado; in fact, it has been the only school between Omaha and the Pacific coast that is authorised to grant the M.D. degree. There are no schools of medi- cine in the states north or south of Colorado. Our Colorado School of Medicine is farther separated from other schools of its type than any other school of medicine in the United States. Colorado must have a School of Medicine for the following reasons : 1. The territory served is more extensive than that of any other School of Medicine. 2. Less than one-half the residents of Colorado who desire to study Medicine could be admitted to schools outside the State. }. There is no over-production of M.D. ' s in this section of the United States. Maurice D. Rees. Dean. [2J]
