Glaser, University Vice-President of Medical Affairs and Dean of the CD Medical School in Denver, supervises an enrollment of approximately 320 students seeking their M.D. degrees. The School accepts 85 students each year, as well as 25 students seeking Ph.D degrees in biological sciences. It also accepts a number of nursing students, and many students to be trained in the fields of physical therapy, occupational therapy, x-ray technology, and medical technology. The School also offers graduate training for 18 interns, for 70 residents in var- ious fields of medicine, and for those carrying on post-doctoral research in the basic clinical sciences. The Medical School also serves 10,000 in-patients as well as 140,000 visiting out-patients in the two University hospitals — Colorado General Hospital and Col- orado Psychopathic Hospital — and carries on research in all fields of medicine. This research is supported publicly and privately through grants and gifts which total more than a million and one-half dollars. % M L ' ' ■ using the artificial kidney

division reaches students beyond the cannpus classrooms. Extension Division Dean D. Mack Easton and the staff members of the University Extension Division plan, project, and coor- dinate their services with those of other University de- partments to meet the changing needs of individuals beyond campus classrooms. In classes held in Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs and other communities throughout the state, University faculty members and other qualified instructors teach graduates and undergraduates the courses they select for academic credit. They also teach these and a variety of other courses to individuals and groups who meet regularly for information, enjoyment, or personal ad- vancement. Through correspondence courses, they reach the girl in the hospital bed, the boy in military service, the man in prison, and the mother at home, all who want to continue their college or high school studies. In this way, too, they may provide a teacher for a whole high school class in a town where there is no teacher for a particular course.

School off Nursing school receives grants for grad students The School of Nursing has facilities on both the Denver and Boulder campuses. Freshman majors in nursing begin in Boulder, where their course loads includes pharmacy and chemistry; as sophomores, they move to the Medical Center at the Denver Division, to complete the three years of nurs- ing education and clinical experience required for the B.S. degree in nursing. Graduates of hospital schools of nursing spend two years on the Boulder campus with two summers at the Denver Division to complete the degree requirements for a bachelor ' s degree. This year, the School of Nursing received grants for grad- uate students preparing for leadership positions in adminis- tration, supervision, and education. Forty-nine of these grants were made available to CU through the re-enactment of a federal law in 1959. Henrietta Loughran Tender, laving care . 28
