COLLEGE OF MUSIC The cultural value of music, aside from professional training avail- able in the College of Music, seems to be appreciated by an increasing number of students of the University. This is evidenced by the interest presented on the campus during the past year, such artists as Josef Hofmann, Josef Levinne, the Roth Quartet, as well as good patronage at faculty and student recitals. Applicants for membership in band, glee clubs and orchestra are displaying greater ability and enthusiasm. Altogether the indications are that the University is becoming musically minded. The faculty of this College congratulates the student body. ROWLAND W. DUNHAM, Dean ROWLAND W. DUNHAM, Dean EDUCATION Education, said the satirist, is what we have left after we have forgotten all we learned in school. The statement probably expresses a half truth, for no doubt an important function of education is to dis- criminate between what should be remembered and what should be forgotten. The same thought is conveyed in the aphorism that an edu- cated person is one who sees great things large and little things small. To acquire something of this skill, to analyze somewhat the process by which it is gained, and to encourage others to acquire it more abun- dantly is the end and aim of the teaching business. Here is a calling which demands high gifts, unceasing diligence, and devotion without end. The rewards are commensurate: They can not be adequately ex- pressed in coin of the realm, though in this form they are likely to be today and henceforth greater than ever before; but the good teacher always finds a more excellent reward in the shining faces of boys and girls, young and old, alight with vision of a far goal — a reward that is in- corruptible and undefiled and that fadeth not away.

% MAURICE H. REES, Dean MEDICINE The University of Colorado School of Medicine and Hospitals is now passing through its most difficult period due to drastic cuts in ap- propriations and to shrinkage of millage. In meeting this situation it was necessary to cut all salaries in our hospitals 25 to 33 per cent, except general duty nurses who were cut 50 per cent. The personnel of several departments was radically reduced. Regardless of all these hardships our employees have shown a wonderful spirit of co-operation, often working many hours overtime in an attempt to keep service up to standard. During the past year our hospitals have been filled to capacity or over capacity for the major portion of the time. In Colorado General Hospital 3,134 bed patients were cared for and in the out patient department there were 65,126 patient visits or an average of 260 patients per day. In the Psychopathic Hospital there were 785 patient admissions and 5,420 patient visits to the out-patient department. In the School of Medicine the enrollment in all four classes is defi- nitely limited and the classes are filled to capacity. During the past few years, there has been a definite increase in the number of students doing graduate work. This type of work has been greatly stimulated by the fellowships made available through the Child Research Council. The School of Nursing was discontinued three years ago due to lack of funds. This school will be reopened as soon as funds become available. MAURICE H. REES, Dean COLLEGE OF PHARMACY The neighborhood pharmacist is one of the important links in the chain of public health service of his community. Recognition of the truth of this statement is evidenced by the fact that forty-three of the states now require graduation from a standard four-year course as a prerequisite to certification as a registered pharmacist. The chief function of the College of Pharmacy is to train young men and women for service as pharmacists. Added to this are the de- mands for laboratory technicians, bacteriologists, food and drug chem- ists, manufacturing pharmacists and teachers for the various pharma- ceutical branches. To meet these demands places a heavy burden of responsibility upon this important branch of the public educational system of the state. HOMER C. WASHBURN, Dean HOMER C. WASHBURN, Dean IS

JOURNALISM In America, where the stability of the government rests upon the approval of the people, it is essential that nev spapers. the medium through which the people draw their information, be developed to a high point of eFficiency, stability. Impartiality, and Integrity. The future of the republic depends on the maintenance of a high standard among journalists. — The Missouri Code. To prepare young men and women to assume and adequately to discharge the responsibilities referred to in the Missouri Code is the aim of the Department of Journalism. These responsibilities demand a broad background of knowledge, an understanding of the history, eth- ics, law, and techniques of the newspaper profession, and the develop- ment through practice of the talent and skill in the various tasks in- volved. All these are provided for in the four-year course of study. A well equipped laboratory, and the co-operation of the Associated Press and the United Press provide the actual working conditions of a news- paper office. The Department is a member of the American Association of Schools and Departments of Journalism, comprising thirty-two univer- sities and colleges. RALPH L CROSMAN, Head of the Department RALPH L. CROSMAN Head of the Department EXTENSION DIVISION Organized for the purpose of rendering educational service to the citizens of Colorado beyond the boundaries of the campus, the Exten- sion Division continues the work of Its founders. It has grown from an office in one corner of the Senate room to occupy many offices in Woodbury. At first its activities were limited largely to correspondence instruction. Now, class and visual instruction also are important activ- ities. The public services in addition have developed to include Business and Government Research, Research and Extension in Journalism, High School Visitation, Library Extension, and the administration of the Colo- rado State Debating League.
