College of Medicine SYRACUSE University took over the Geneva Medical School as her College of Medicine in 1872. The Geneva Medical School was established in 1834. This college has always maintained a Class A rating in the various official classifications of the medical colleges of America. The number of students admitted to the first year class is limited to fifty-two. A new building is being planned for the medical college in connection with the development of a medical center on the University campus. A new city communicable disease hospital, the first unit of the center, is now under construction. It is expected that a new general hospital of 300 beds and a state psychiatric hospital will be built during the next year. Within the next few years the new medical school and a new university hospital will be constructed. With the completion of the medical center our school will have readily available on one site all of the facilities desirable for medical and nursing education and for the rendering of high type medical service to the com- munity.

College of Liberal Arts William P. Graham Acting Dean THE College of Liberal Arts, the oldest division of the University, has, in the main, remained true to the ideal of cultural education. It offers to its students instruction in those broad fields of learning which are universally regarded as of funda- mental importance. It aims to fit its graduates to become useful members of educated society. From it have split off, at various times, other colleges and schools until we have the present total of fifteen. A liberal education is regarded as indispensable to success in the professions of Law and Medicine and is highly desirable in other fields. Enrollment in the College of Liberal Arts has steadily increased and now reaches a total of nearly eighteen hundred. Besides taking care of its own students, this College must provide instruction for large numbers from other colleges. While this growth is very encouraging, our faculties are becoming overtaxed, and it will proba- bly soon be necessary to fix a limit to the number of students who can be received into this College.

College of Fine Arts Haro Id L. Butler Dean THE College of Fine Arts, with its three major depart- ments of Music, Art, and Architecture, and its faculty of forty-four full-time instructors, has again expanded its courses this year by the addition of a four-year course for the training of public school music supervisors, a four- year course for the training of public school art super- visors, and a four year course for the training of illustra- tors and commercial artists. Already, these courses have enrolled a goodly number of students. In spite of the more rigid entrance require- ments, and the higher quality of work demanded of its students, the College of Fine Arts enrollment, this year, shows a slight increase over that of last year. The radio programs, broadcast every Thursday evening over a hookup of five stations, including Schenectadv, Syracuse, Rochester, and Buffalo, have been commended as some of the most artistic programs put on by these stations.
