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.

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.
