the school of E D I C I N E By intensifying the training program, the Kansas City division of the School of Medicine has re- turned to a nine-month program supplanting the eleven-month program in use since 1943. Summer sessions are on a student elective basis for clinical experience or graduate work in fields of the stu- dent ' s choice. Headlining the building program at the Medical Center are two buildings, the Student Center com- pleted last spring and the Psychiatry building cur- rently under construction. The Student Center in- cludes an auditorium capable of seating the entire student body and faculty, cafeteria, lounge, book- store, library, snack bar, seminar room, recreation room, and guest rooms. The Psychiatry, to be com- pleted in a year, will incorporate hospital and teaching facilities. Total enrollment in Lawrence and Kansas City this year is approximately 500, including the School of Nursing, which is operated in conjunc- tion with the School of Medicine.

Dean F. J. Moreau Green Hall the school of LAW The Law school this year saw an enroll- ment of 185 students, in addition to housing the department of speech and drama. Green hall, the home of the school, was erected in 1905 and received a $150,000 ad- dition last year. The Burdick Memorial li- brary opened in the fall of 1953 and was ded- icated in the June, 1954, commencement. The addition increased the capacity of the law library to 50,000 books. This fall marks the second anniversary of the publication of the University of Kansas Law Review. The Review was the realization of a dream of Dean Frederick J. Moreau, who has been a university faculty member since 1929 and dean since 1937. A recent bequest of $88,000 from the will of Loren N. Gensman, former Congressman and a 1901 KU graduate, will be used to fur- ther legal education.

t ' ri Blake Hall the school of P H A R A C Y One of the oldest schools in the University now has adequate facilities for the first time, said J. Allen Reese, dean of the School of Pharmacy. We have the best facilities for work, undergrad- uate or graduate, in the Big Seven, he continued. The School of Pharmacy is now located in a wing of the new Physical Sciences building com- pleted last spring. In its new quarters the school has sufficient space and equipment for instruction and research by faculty members and graduate stu- dents. Incorporated into the pharmacy area are a meeting room for the state board of pharmacy, state examination rooms, and the State Drug lab- oratory. In 1960 the pharmacy curriculum will be changed from a four-year course to one of five years, due to the heavy load of chemistry, biology, business, and mathematics courses required of pharmacy students.
