iiuivcrsity College of engineering Dean Evans A brief lance at the attendance record of the College of Engineering shows a sharp increase in the fall of 1918, due to the formation of the Student Army Train- ing Corps. A vigorous campaign had been carried on to secure technicallv trained men for the Army and Xavy through the establishment of these units in Amer- ican colleges and universities. The College of Engineering is offering vocational training to disabled ex-service men who are detailed here by the Federal Board for Vocational Education. The new engineering building was occupied in the fall of 1919. The old engineering building has been com- pletely remodeled and is used for freshman and sopho- more work. The engineering shops building has been remodeled in part and made available for junior and senior classes. Two wooden buildings, each 40 x 90 feet, have been constructed in the rear of the shops and are now fully occupied. The increased enrollment has made class rooms, laboratories and drawing rooms almost as crowded as thev were before re-construction was started, and sufficient space and equipment to properly conduct the work will be a real problem within another year. H. S. Evans, Dean. 23

lUmiirsilu Cfjc College of $fjarmac? Dean Washburn The College of Pharmacy, established in 1 11 as a division of the School of Medicine, was separated there- from in 1913 and made an integral part of the Univer- sity. From its beginning the College of Pharmacy has stood for high standards of scholarship, sound ethical principles in the profession of pharmacy and for the co- operation and correlation of its curriculum with that of other schools and colleges of the University, to the end that its students may go forth from its lecture halls and its laboratories as broadly educated men and women in truest sense of the word. Its material growth has kept pace with its educa- tional development, and today its graduates are reflect- ing credit and honor on their alma mater by rendering invaluable service in the profession of pharmacy and as teachers in the institutions of higher learning of this and other states, and as manufacturing and analytical chemists in the laboratories of manufacturers of chem- ical and pharmaceutical products and of the Federal Government. Homes C. Washburn, Dean. 22

lUititicrsUg Hnibcrsttp extension Division Mr. Petersen Few persons realize that in point of numbers the University of Colorado, bv means of its Extension Divi- sion, is almost as large off the campus as it is on the campus. This year more than 1,900 extension students are pursuing work in the various branches offered by the Extension Division. These students are found in all parts of Colorado — in coal camps, sugar factories, wom- en ' s clubs, and teachers ' associations. Almost every occupation and vocation is represented in this large student body. This is only half the story. Besides the Department of Extension Instruction there is the Department of Pub- lic Service, which reaches even more folks than does the former. By means of public lectures, conferences and short courses, thousands of people not registered in classes benefit educationally because the University ' s facilities reach out to them when thev cannot come to it.
