 In order to relieve the crowded classroom situation the Secretarial department was moved to another building across the street. The old Monroe Hotel was turned into a girls’ dorm and called Rodney Curtis Hall. The halls in the new building were so crowded between classes that the time allotted to go from one room to another was not at all sufficient. Another difficulty the Commerce students faced was lack of an assembly hall, but the Pioneer Pit helped make up for it. During winter quarter a soda fountain was installed, which in addition to the juke box made life brighter down there. campus

civic center The new location of the School of Commerce in the heart of Denver is a great improvement over the old building. The ultra-modern exterior and the unconventional interior were a welcome relief. Miss Waterhouse, registrar, was extremely busy with the increased enrollment, as was Dr. Puckett, who had the problem of rearranging the curriculum to cope with.

Library School is the most cosmopolitan group in the University, with several students from our Pan American neighbors. Enrollment has increased so that for the first time in their history there are two classes. The librarians are the envy of the whole student body at Commerce, since they each have their own large desk and swivel chair. Law School, too, was on the move this year. Not only did enrollment triple, but the location was changed from campus to the School of Commerce. It was a sure sign of peace to see the Law School buzzing again. Down at Commerce the law students were lost in the multitude except for the tremendous volumes of ’’Torts” that they carried. 26
