One of the foremost in the country and bearing the Class A rating of the Council of Medical Education and Hospitals of the American Medical Association, it has kept pace with the ever changing field of medical progress. Dedicated to Mrs. Harriet L Cramer, its liberal benefactress, the new Medical building is an important step in the realization of the complete health center which Marquette hopes soon to effect. In addition to increasing the facilities available in the study of medicine, the building with its splendid equipment, equally appropriate for some of the basic scientific departments of the Dental School, provides for the development of medico-dental correlation. Finally, the enlargement of scientific activity at the Medical • 28 MEDICINE • Individual assistance and personal consideration for every student has long characterized Marquette's educational methods. IP'itb a ratio of more than one instructor for every ten students the University establishes a precedent of faculty cooperation outstanding in the United States. Indicative of this general policy the School of Medicine has dei eloped a guiding criterion which keeps the personality of the student constantly before the faculty. Examining boards, each controlling a different phase of academic training, consider the student's professional qualifications, while an extensive Course with a restricted curriculum furnishes the opportunity for a more complete comprehension of all subjects. In the Medical School the student is an individual entity, personally assisted by his instructors. School allows graduate study in coordination with clinical work at various hospitals. On the ground floor of the building arc contained the Marquette Eye Dispensary and Student Health Service, and the morgue. Administrative offices, the library, the departments of pathology and bacteriology, and the auditorium with a seating capacity of 500 art located on the first floor. The departments of pharmacology, materia medica and biochemistry occupy the second floor, while the third floor contains the medico-surgical laboratories and the physiology department. The fourth floor is devoted to the departments of anatomy and art with modern X-ray equipment. A limited number of students arc admitted to each class in order that the individual might receive personal attention. The first four years in the Medical School are devoted to study, lectures and laboratory work alone, while the fifth • Prospect if mtJtcal iludenli oiler re I Indent and milruclor o get aim x a piece of the I echo teal equipment which ti in operation at the school to render more adequate the theory of the projet non which it imparled there.
