mm m Fernandus Payne Dean Graduate School 1904 The Graduate school of Indiana university sponsors research work and offers additional training to those who have previously obtained the A. B. or B. S. degree. Three advanced degrees, Master of Arts, Doctor of Philosophy and Master of Science, are granted by the Grad- uate school. The first advanced degrees granted for research work were conferred in 1881. The enrollment in this department grew steadily until, in the years 1881 to 1893, 125 advanced degrees had been granted. In 1904, there took place the segregation and formal organization of the Graduate school, and in 1908 the office of dean of the Graduate school was created. Today the Indiana University Graduate school is one of the major divisions of the University. Students working for advanced degrees and those taking additional work toward securing the A. B. or B. S. degrees are enrolled in the Graduate school. — R. A. C. [26]

Waiis D. Gatch Indianapolis Dean Burton D. Myers Bloiiniington Dean School of Medicine 1903 The Indiana School of Medicine in Indian apoHs was organized in 1907, the result of the merging of the Indiana University School of Medicine, established in Bloomington in 1903, and the State College of Physicians and Surgeons. In 1909 an act of the state legislature gave the Indiana University Board of Trustees the right to establish a medical school in Marion County, and to receive gifts and real estate and other property in behalf of the State of Indiana for the maintenance of medical education in that county. Since that time the development of this school has been rapid and highly commendable. The Robert W. Long, the William H. Coleman and the James Whitcomb Riley hospitals, together with the recently added Rotarian Convalescent Home for Children, the Ball Nurses ' Home and the Indiana School of Medicine make up the Indiana University Medical Center. Medical students also have access to the Bobbs and City Free Dispensary, Indianapolis City hospital and Central State hospital. — R. A. G. [25]

H. L. Smith Dean School of Education 1908 The enactment of state school laws in 1907, requiring pedagogical training on the part of all classes of public school teachers of Indiana, was followed by the segregation and formal organization of the peda- gogic courses and faculty at Indiana university. In 1853, in accordance with an act passed by the General Assembly of the State of Indiana, a normal department had been established at the University, but from that time until 1907 it was only considered as a department of the College of Liberal Arts in which a major subject leading to the A. B. degree might be taken as in other similar departments. The present School of Education was organized in 1908 but not formally recognized by the Indiana University Board of Trustees as a separate school with the same status as other schools of the University until May 1, 1923. This reorganization makes possible the maximum of co-operation between the state and the University in preparing teachers and school administrators under the license law of 1922. — R. A. C. [27]
