COLO RGD-Fill Q53 SCHOOL CDF mf . . '!.:. 1 Y ,vit , -'.:v. J ' , 4 L Miss Louisa KIENINGER HE Nurses' Home in Denver was built near the Colorado General Hospital in 1924. Miss Louise Kieninger, head of the School of Nursing, has her oHice here. This building provides the student nurses with a cheerful, homelike place to live, and lends a pleasurable aspect to their work. In spite of the tedious work inf volved in training for nursing, sta' tistics show that there is an inf crease in the number of students in this school each year. NURSING HE art of nursing is just as distinct and as specialized as the art of the med' ical practitioner, the art of music, the art of engineering, and is more and more recognized as such. The system of education in nursing has undergone radical changes, and calls particularly for educated women. The many prob' lems in the profession offer scope for the highest kind of intelligent and ad' ministrative ability which can be ref ceived. From the more or -lesasimple personal services to the sick, nursing has devel' oped until it includes a large number of important duties, some of them dis' tinctly medical and sanitary, others educational and administrative, and still others public and social in char' acter. College women in increasing num' bers are entering nursing schools, and even the brightest feel that they need all the resources that a college educa- tion gives to enable them to meet the higher demands of the profession. The school not only ranks as an out' standing School of Nursing for under' graduate and graduate students, but is recognized in educational and research programs for its faculty, staff of inf structors, supervisors and head nurses. Graduates of the school are filling im' portant positions as educators in this and foreign countries. LOUISE KIENINGER, Di-rector of the School. 230

SCHCCLCI: MEDICINE ACH year an average of eighty young men and women from Colorado enter upon the study of Medicine. The majority of these students come to the University of Colorado School of Medi' Cine, where living expenses and tuition are far cheaper than they are in the eastern schools. Applicants for admission to the School of Medicine are finding it inf creasingly difficult to secure admission to schools located outside of their own state. The demands made upon the state schools by resident applicants are so great that it is almost impossible for them to admit nonfresidents. ' The endowed schools cannot take care of this overflowg therefore, if Colo' rado did not have a School of Medicine very few of those who desire to study Medicine could secure admission to schools located in other states. The nearest schools would be those in Omaha to the east, and in San Fran' cisco to the west. There are no schools of medicine north or south of Colorado. During its Hfty years of existence the University of Colorado School of Medi' cine has always been rated as an A Class school. Its graduates can compete on an equal basis with the graduates of any of the older eastern schools. All graduates are assured of positions, since they all secure high class interneships. The class of 1932 secured interneships in hospitals in seventeen states and one territory. MAURICE H. REES, Dean. 022 MAURICE H. Rsss OLORADO General Hospital was completed in 1924, and since that time has developed into one of the iinest hospitals in the West. It provides the citizens of the state with free medical attention, and gives the students of the School of Medicine well equipped laboraf tories and classrooms and an opporf tunity for practical experience. In this building is located the office of Dean Maurice H. Rees of the School of Medicine. OD 'I GUIIO 'E'Z6I-UU u 1 I-

SCHCDOL QF LAW HE aim and purpose of a modern law school is to respond to the insistent demand of society for the education of law trained graduates who are conf scious of the need of social develop- ment and who are not content merely to be legal craftsmen. Legal education, while primarily intended to prepare men and women for the legal profesf sion, is now called upon to train stu' dents for the related fields of business, Enance, politics and the foreign service. Such increasing demands have called for the broadening of the preflegal preparation as a foundation and back' ground for the threefyear period of spef cialized legal study. But whether the student is preparing himself for the legal profession or for some related ac' tivity, the benefits to be derived from a training afforded in a law school are great. The School of Law of the University of Colorado was established in 1892. It has promptly met all of the stand' ards laid down by the Association of American Law Schools and the Amer' ican Bar Association and has contin' uously held its rank as one of the lead- ing law schools in the country. Its grad- uates are discharging their duties to society in private life as practitioners and public-spirited citizens, and in pub' lic life as legislators, judges and states' IHCD. ROBERT L. STEARNS, Acting Dean. 024 ROBERT L. STEARNS UGGENHEIM Law Building was a gift of the Honorable Simon Guggenheim, a former United States Senator from Colorado, and was erected in 1909. This building contains the office of the Dean of the School of Law, classrooms, a model courtroom, and one of the most complete law libraries in the West. It has been traditional for many years that freshman and sophof more students are not 'to mount the law steps, and many a newcomer has learned to his chagrin that this tradition must be observed.
