COLLEGE OE EDUC!-KTTON N the first half of the 19th century, the normal school developed in America to teach teachers how to teach. The teachers who taught in the normal schools were the common-school teachers, teachers of elementary schools. The elementary 'schools were the people's schools and they were coming to be generally considered essential institu- tions in the republic. The high school, as a part of the public school system, and the state uni- versity had not yet bdcome well established in America. 'Teachers in high school and in college were thought sufficiently prepared if they knew subject-matter, In this period the first superin- DEAN BARRETT tendents of city schools were appointed, commonly on the basis of popularity or a knack of managing. It was in 1873 that the first chair of education was created in a university, and from that time to the present the conviction has grown that high school teachers, supervisors, and superintendents of schools, and college teachers need profes- sional as well as academic preparation. The University of Colorado was among the early higher institutions to establish a chair of education for the professional training of teachers and administrative officers in high school and college, and in school systems, city, county and state. From this single instructor has de- veloped the College of Education in which those who are to enter the profession of education prepare specihcally for that profession. In the summer session especially, moreover, and increasingly during the regular year those already engaged in teaching and administration in secondary and higher schools pursue courses which fit them to engage more intelligently and efhciently in education as a life career.

It is the province of the Graduate School to plan and to carry out, in all divisions of the University, work which extends beyond that for the first degree. The under- graduate is largely concerned with laying founda- tions for achievement rather than with achieve- ment itselfg with acquiring and understanding and an appreciation of both the past and the present in many fields of learning. The Graduate School builds upon this foundation and attempts to guide those who can profit by the opportunity, to a broader and a more deiinite knowledge in a limited field. Its aim is an intimate Working knowledge, DEAN LESTER an interpreting knowledge, rather than an appreciation based upon a speaking acquaintance. It is also deeply concerned with the training of college and university teachers, and with the training of investigators in various fields It is designed to help those whose aim is to know thoroughly and then to ac complish, or to know .thoroughly through accomplishment.

The definite aim of the College is twofold: C13 To provide a thorough training for students who intend to follow the profession of music as teachers and composers, or who may wish to devote them- selves chieily to musical criticism and literature. CZD To develop an intelligent general taste and understanding, a sympathy for music, as for other branches of culture, and to form a body of intelligent and sympathetic receptive listeners for the master- pieces of music. 2 The University Glee and Mandolin Clubs, and Orchestra are open to men of the University. Members are selected by competitive examination. HoRAcE XIVHITEHOUSE Director The University Choral Union was established in 1919.
