September 1424 was a period of transition from the old to the ne ' . Wrecking crews soon removed the hist traces of the condemned buildint;s and sheds that had housed the old School of Medicine for so many years. When the doors of the new School opened to stu- dents the latter part of September, 1924, they also opened a new era for medical education in Colorado, and in the Rocky Mountain States, an era full of promise for the future. I he institution has been }:en;rously provided with spacious, modern buildings, and with excellent and elab- orate equipment. What are we going to do with it? W e must train more efficient physicians and nurses, and give to the sick of the State the best of care and treat- ment. If our responsibilities end at this point, the great expenditure of money has not been justified. We must also strive for improved and still more efficient methods of diagnosis and treatment. New and better procedures for preventing disease and suffering must be devised. We must not only be students, teachers and physicians, but we must also be contributors to the sum total of medical knowledge. Maurice H. Rees Dean of the School of Medicine. aceA,c€ A IS

m m John D. Fleming Dean of the St tool of Laii The Law School jiraduated its first chiss in 1894. Moses Hallett, Judge of the United States District Court at Denver, was its first dean. Beginning with few students and practically no equipment and no library, it had during the last school year one hundred and sixty-one students in one of the most beautiful buildings on the Campus devoted to its separate use, and a law library in excess of fourteen thousand bound ()Iumes. It has six professors combining the academic and legal training of the best schools with practical experience at the bar. It is a member, and the only member in Colorado, of the Association of American Law Schools, an organization formed in 1901 for the purpose of promoting and maintaining a high standard of legal education. Its students have gone forth to become governors, supreme and district court judges, members of both the national and state legislatures, and to perform in other capacities a high and varied service in this and other States. o L D G ZV-t Wu ' n 1+

lioMER C. Washburn Dean of the College of Pharmacy. riie College of Pharmacy was organized in 1911 as a division of the School of Medicine. Two years later it was separated from the parent department an;l made an integral part of the University. It may be of interest to the friends of the L niversity to know that its College of Pharmacy is the only insti- tution of its kind that has nexer admitted candidates for its degrees on less than high-school graduation ; also that it was the second college of pharmacy in the countr to require three ' ears for graduation, based on high-school entrance. The abo ' e-stated facts are indicati e of the high standards which this College maintains. In no case ha e we ever sacrificed quality for quantity. C 9 ylvy9 -( L l 16
