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.

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 Law THE College of Law began its work this year in its new quarters in Hackett Hall at 400 Montgomery Street. This is the fourth location that the college has had since its organization in 1895 by the late Dean James B. Brooks. The first location was on the fourth floor of the then new Bastable building which has recently burned, where it remained until 1898, when it moved to rooms prepared for it in the University Block. From there it moved in 1904 to the Crouse residence, corner of State and East Fayette Streets. The new quarters are by far the finest that the college has had in its history and are quite adequate for all of its work. Only one thing further could be desired and that is a room in which to assemble all three classes, but the width of Hackett Hall prevented the preparation of a room large enough for such purpose without sacrificing space needed for recitation rooms. Heretofore the college has been run virtually in two units, one during the fore- noon consisting of the two upper classes, and one in the afternoon consisting of the first year class usually handled in two sections. In Hackett Hall there is sufficient room so that all three classes can meet at the same time, running at present from eight in the morning until about mid-afternoon with the twelve o ' clock hour out for lunch.
