AW CCUU S AN FIN!-XNQ One ofthe important additions to the University of Denver under Chancellor Buchtel's administra- tion was the founding of the School of Commerce, Accounts, and Finance. The first degree given in this department Went to Clem Collins, who is the present Dean of Commerce. Taking the position of Dean in the fall of 1937, Dean Collins has already entered new Helds for the University of Denver. He instituted and elabo- rated an eiiicient advisory system for Commerce students which has been very helpful to many dur- ing the past year. Dean Collins has also brought honor to the Uni- versity by his election to the office of president of the American Institute of Accountants.

Lower Right: Fire drill at the downtown school reveals that students can drop their work at a moment's notice. 27 Ji- DEAN C. W. COLLINS School of Commerce, Accounts, and Finance

E VER CHUUL UP DEAN R. H. WOLCOTT School of Law Finality to the student at the School of Law means the attainment of a degree in law and en- trance to the bar. In preparation for this accom- plishment many wcary hours are spent pouring over Blackstone and haranguing in moot court. Future barristers are aided in the search for legal knowledge by Roger H. Wolcott, who has served as the Dean of Law School for ten years. He pre- sides over the mock courts that the students hold in connection with their courses, and has super- vised tlie additions and improvements made at the downtown school during the past two years. Dean Wolcott sponsors Delta Lambda Sigma, the pre- legal fraternity, as an encouragement to embryo lawyers. COMMERCE Below: The Law School's moot court held a March session which resulted in unknown persons being inflicted for unknown misde- meanors. Lower Right: Lawyers enter prac- tice court carrying texthooks that proved as heavy as their renders in weight and heavier in content. 26

DE VER CHUUL U DEAN MALCOLM WYER School of Librarianship DTH Below: While the average student comes in contact with approximately two hundred books during his college career, the library offers him many times more than that num- ber and a congenial place to study. Lower right: The library is the center of cultural pursuit. Q l 4. N ocor Malcolm Wyer, Dean of the School of Librari- anship, is accredited with much of the success of this department. Through his efforts, the Library school was established in 1930, adding a needed educational unit in the West. In planning the curriculum, Dean Wyer bases the course on actual need and requirements of library work. Viewed with skepticism for a long time, the advance meth- ods used in this school are now conceded to be the latest development in library training. Men such as Dean Wyer and other modern pioneers keep the spirit of progress alive in the West, and encourage students to keep a definite goal in view throughout the college career.
