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}

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.

f t r d. o E D U C A T N Harry M. Barrett CDUCATION as well as other interests has felt the effects of the well known depression. To economize in education when the cause of the depression is generally admitted to have been ignorance appears not altogether logical, but nevertheless that is what has happened. Still, America has always believed in education more than other nations, and when America realizes what has happened the mistake will be corrected. In the meantime competition for teaching positions will be keener and those who are best prepared will have a marked advantage. More important than the selfish advan- tage, however, is the need that the new education come more closely to grips with the vexing problems of life both chronic and acute. The old education served its generation not unworthily. It got the children coming to school in numbers unprecedented in human history. It saw the need for iitting the school to the child. It experimented boldly. The new education must refine the experiments, prove all things, hold fast that which is good, and go forward. For such formidable tasks the teacher ' s preparation must be more deliberate and thorough than ever before. Harry M. Barrett. [26]
