History & Fun Facts

•By 1892, the last two years of classes were taught in Denver because the larger population afforded more practical experience.
•In 1897, the court found that CU's charter restricted them to Boulder.
•In 1911, the School of Medicine combined with the Denver and Gross Medical College to form a larger school with a more comprehensive program, paving the way for the school's permanent move to Denver.
