YV A THE COLLEGE OE MUSTC HE Department of Music of the College of Arts and Sciences was expanded by the Board of Regents in September, 1920, into the College ol Music, leading to the degree Bachelor of Music. 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. The purpose of the organization is the study of the great oratorios, choruses and Cantatas, under the direction of the Professor of Music, and the public presentation of them in semi- annual concerts. Through a committee of faculty members the Choral Union will bring to the University each year artists and m.usical organizations of the higher type. COMBINED ERESHMEN' BLUE HARDY HEcoX Page 23

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.

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-eight students, has a library of fifteen thousand bound volumes, which is receiving constant additions, and is housed in one of the most beautiful buildings on the campus devoted to its separate use. It has six professors combining the academic and legal train- ing of the best schools with practical experience at the bar. It became a member in 1901 of the Associations of American Law Schools, an organi- zation of the leading law schools in the United States, formed in that year for the purpose of pro- moting and maintaining a high standard of legal education and is the only member of such Associa- tion in this State, and, in the published reports of the American Bar Association, is the only law school in Colorado conforming with its standards. Its students have gone forth to become governors, supreme and district court judges, professors and practitioners of law, members of both the national and state legislatures, and to perform in other capacities a high and varied service in this and other states- Its graduates number five hundred and fifty-two, thirty-three of whom received their degrees at the commencements this year, while the present freshmen class num.bers one of the largest in the history of the school. Its instructions lead to the degree Bachelor of Laws, and is based upon what is known as the Case System, by which the student acquires from the beginning a knowledge of adjudicated cases and arrives at basic principles by inductive reasoning, a system designed to qualify him to practice his profession in any country where Anglo-American law prevails.
