t t d. o p H A R, M A C Y Homer C. Washburn T ' Mi WN MAY 26, 1929, William H. Adams, then Governor of the State of Colorado, signed the Pharmacy Bill enacted by the Twenty-ninth General Assembly, requiring that five years from date (May 26, 1934) all candidates for registration as pharma- cists within the State of Colorado must be graduates of a recognized college of pharmacy. Beginning with the class that entered in September, 1932, all recognized colleges of pharmacy within the United States went to a minimum four-year course of in- struction. The above-stated facts place a heavy burden of responsibility upon the College of Pharmacy of the University of Colorado to supply the normal replacement needs of the profession of pharmacy within the state. It is the function of the College of Pharmacy to train the youth of the state in the knowledge of health-giving and health-preserving service, and to cooperate with the medical profession in safeguarding that most precious of all heritages — health — with which the pure air and glorious sunshine of Colorado have so abundantly blessed us.

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]

k D N M U c m M fS» Rowland W. Dunham I HE College of Music, though one of the smaller colleges of the campus, maintains a constant activity within itself and among the entire University group. In addition to the actual study with its many recitals and concerts in our own building, we sponsor and direct the University Band, Glee Clubs, and Symphony Orchestra. These organiza- tions include in their membership a large number of students whose contact with musical art will remain as one of the cherished opportunities of college life. The college stands on the same high level which has for years been the proud achievement of the University as a whole. The recent addition in Public School Music and Musical Composition has rounded out our curriculum to fit the needs of all. Rowland W. Dunham, Director. [25}
