The new Medical building, which replaces the older structure on Fourth street and Reservoir avenue is, like other recent additions to the campus, of reinforced concrete in Collegiate Gothic design, faced with orange-buff brick. It is of four stories, with the eye clinic and laboratories in the semi-basement. All administrative offices are found on the first floor, lecture halls on the second and third, and a museum of anatomy on the fourth. One of its double wings is joined to the School of Dentistry so that the two departments can cooperate in the use of ■ Dr. RnK.tr J F.

The association of the two schools will be conducive to an understanding of their common problems. It was the endowment of Mrs. Harriet L. Cramer which made possible the building of the new Medical school, and the edifice has been named in her honor. Mrs. Cramer, a former newspaper woman and one of the most public-spirited citizens of Wisconsin, at her death in 1922 bequeathed more than a million dollars to the University. The endowment fund was further augmented by smaller contributions and by the Carnegie Institute endowment. Dr. Bernard F. McGrath, dean of the School of Medicine since 1928, was in charge of the dedication ceremonies at which the county and Pack II

Nearly eighty graduates received degrees in Mechanical. Civil. Electrical and Chemical Engineering in 1933, while the attendance figures ranged about 400, a far smaller drop than was expected. ■ A new elective course has been organized in the department of Mechanical Engineering for the purpose of expanding the program by a greater diversification of subjects for the student. It is a course in Air Conditioning and is offered by a special lecturer, Ernest Szckely. An outstanding achievement of the College of Engineering was the establishment of a national chapter of Tau Beta Pi. From the organization of a national chapter here, it may be deduced that the Marquette college has been recognized as one of the foremost engineering organizations in the United States. All members of Sigma Nu Sigma, who petitioned the national society for membership, have automatically become members of Tau Beta Pi. The engineers were active in University affairs through their various professional and fraternal societies. They ushered at all football games and their Drum and Bugle Corps demonstrated its recognized ability. The Knights of St. Patrick held their usual frolic on their saint’s day. The Marquette Engineer, student publication of the College, has also won singular honors for itself in that it was one of the six out of twenty-five publications in the Engineering College Magazines Associated which maintained an A’ rating in all departments during 1933.

Guest speakers for the occasion included: the Rev. William M. Magee. S.J., president of the University; the Honorable Daniel W. Hoan, mayor of Milwaukee; the Honorable Albert G. Schmedeman, Governor of Wisconsin; Dr. William Gerry Morgan, dean of the Georgetown University School of Medicine; Dr. Bernard Evcringham Scammon, dean of Medical Science school, University of Minnesota School of Medicine; and His Excellency, the Rt. Rev. Samuel A. Stritch, archbishop of the Milwaukee archdiocese. • ■ The School of Medicine was organized just twenty years ago by Dr. Louis F. Jcrmain. who was named dean. That same year, 1913, Marquette University acquired the Wisconsin College of Physicians and Surgeons, which included the Dental school, the Milwaukee Medical college and Trinity hospital. Among the outstanding features of the School of Medicine is the guiding criterion method of evaluating students. By this scheme not merely grades alone but a consideration of the student’s individual make-up determines his status. Eight examining boards, representing every branch of the work offered in the field of medicine, weigh evidence and make recommendation on all doubtful cases. The last board provides for an exhaustive test of the student at the end of the four years work, to determine the student’s qualifications for undertaking the responsibilities of medicine and for keeping abreast of medical progress. The student is also permitted, under the subject system which in principle is in use at the School, to take only a portion of those courses which usually make up a year's curriculum. This not only aids the sound but slow student in gaining complete mastery of the subjects but also lessens the burden on the shoulders of those undergraduates who arc working their way through the University. Facilities for continued research have been made available. Class presidents for the year were: Theodore D. Elbe, Shawano, Wis., freshman; Louis H. Guelbmer, Milwaukee, sophomore; Mark E. Harmeyer, Milwaukee, junior; and Walter H. Gebert, Merrill, Wis., senior. i $ Pa OR
