Abstract

As of 1882, the University of Denver had a Preparatory School for high school students and a Junior Preparatory School for grammar school children. The Preparatory School was renamed Warren Academy in 1909 after moving into the basement of the new Carnegie Library on campus. The Warren Academy closed in 1916. It is unclear when the Junior Preparatory School closed but items in the records indicate that the school was still operating in 1889-1890. Records of the schools include grade books, bulletins, a yearbook, graduation certificates, articles, a photo and programs for school functions.
