structors.
Even with the great Increase of
students and faculty. the standard
hnve not been allowed TO drop. Two
years ago the University Of Denver
School Of Commerce was admitted TO
membership In the American Associs-
tlon OF Collegiate Schools Of business.
ont Of over one hundred universities
which have departments Of business,
only twenty-scvcn belong TO this associa.
tion.
New courses are continually being
developed. When the school was first
organized, there was only one course
Accounting. This has always been
n strong course, but there are now
many others. In 1913 complete school
of business administration was added.
The purpose of this course Is to train
college men for executive positions.
The student Is given training ~ actual
business methods and is supplied with
background of economies. business
statistics, etc. Four full years of in
struction are given by large stan of
teachers. Additional courses have
recently been developed in Secretarial
Work, Advertising, and Commercial
Teaching.
The evening school is boon to office
workers and those who are employed
during the day. The courses offered
in the evening are identical with the
ones offered in the day school. This
gives ambitious workers chance to
obtain university training and to receive
a university degree.
One OF the aims of the School OF
Commerce is to cooperate with Denver
business men. A new. project which is
helping to accomplish this purpose is
the organization of Bureau OF Re
search. This Bureau co-operatcs with
the Denver Chamber of Commerce
Studies will be made which will be OF
real value to the community.
The Bureau of Research is under the
direction of Professor John II. Cover.
