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

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

This branch of the University %vas created by the Board of Regents in 1893 and since then its develop- ment has grown from one student to the present enroll- ment of 550. The college offers four year courses in Civil, Mechanical, Electrical, and Chemical Engineer- ing leading to the degree of B.S. The equipment is first class in every particular and is rated Class A in the National Society of Engineers in which the Colo- rado Facult ' is well represented. Engineering has been defined as the art and science of directing the great sources of power in nature to the use and conveniences of man. An engineer must be not only a scientist but an artist and a man of broad cul- ture. The object of our College Engineering is to prepare the student to enter profession as an apprentice so that he may develop through experience into an engineer; to enable him to apply scientific principles to practical purposes, and to train him to be a good citizen.
