There was only one other medical school in the State at this time, that of the Medical Department of the Denver University, founded in 1881. Then for a short period C1894-19021 there were four medical schools in Colorado. ln addition to the two schools which have been mentioned, there were the Gross Medical College and the Denver Homeopathic College. The Medical College of Denver University and the Gross Medical College were united in 1902 under the name, l'The Denver and Gross College of Medicine. The Denver Homeopathic College terminated its existence in 1909, and two years later The Denver and Gross College of Medicine was incorporated in the University of Colorado School of Medicine. Since that date it has continued as the only medical school in Colorado. i DEAN Rises CDMlB1NlElD MlElDlltCS VON DETTEN IUDD BELL CASEY Page 25

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.
