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.

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.

SUMMER SESSION In 1918, the University of Colorado was organized on the four- quarter basis, with the former sumnner session of six weeks, confined mainly to Liberal Arts courses, expanded to a quarter consisting of two terms of approximately six weeks each, and offering courses in prac- tically every school and college. By this change, adopted at the in- stance of the War Department of the United States, the peculiar advan- tages for summer study accruing to the University from its favorable location have been made available for a longer period to thousands of teachers, business and professional men and women, whose opportunity for study is limited to the summer months, and to college students w ho wish to shorten the time devoted to academic preparation. With a summer constituency, equal to or exceeding the enrollment of the academic year and representing every state in the Union as well as foreign countries, and with approximately two thousand degrees conferred at August commencements, the University has greatly in- creased its sphere of influence and its service to the cause of education. MILO C. DERHAM, Dean MILO C. DERHAM, Dean DEAN OF MEN The routine side of the Dean of Men ' s office consists in helping men obtain employment, loans and wholesome housing conditions. In addition we give information to men concerning extracurricular activi- ties and co-operate with the Registrar ' s office and with the offices of the various deans concerning student problems. Perhaps the most difficult problem for any school is to set into mo- tion factors that will minimize the character difficulties which students sometimes encou nter. Student intoxication, various types of dishonesty, immoral practices, and thoughtless pranks mar the records of some men. We believe that those difficulties are minimized whenever students find wholesome outlets for expression. Therefore, we are constantly advo- cating an exacting and interesting curriculum supplemented by diversi- fied extracurricular program. HARRY CARLSON. Dean HARRY CARLSON, Dean 21
