Dean Lapham and Medical Student Council SCHOOL O In September of 1834- our medical school, as the Medical College of Louisiana, was founded as the first medical school in the Southwest. The usual four-year program leading to the degree of Doctor of Medicine is offered by the medical school. F DEAN MAXWELL E. LAPHAM MEDICINB The school also offers many graduate courses leading to the degrees of Master of Medical Science, Master of Public Health, and other degrees in public health. A number of short courses are offered in different specialties. THE HUTCHINSON MEMORIAL BUILDING The school year of 1955-56 marks another true milestone in the history ofthe Tulane School of Medi- cine. In the fall of this year, construction was com- pleted on the new Hutchinson Memorial Wing of Tu- lane's downtown medical center. The completion of the new building, in addition to increasing the acces- sibility of the latest equipment for modern medical research and teaching, makes possible the union of the entire four-year student body in a single central location. 14 By the fall of 1956, the entire medical school will be situated in the downtown location directly adjacent to Charity Hospital. As well as unifying the med school, this move also provides additional classroom and laboratory space uptown by vacating the old medi- cal building. With all due ceremony, the new building was dedi- cated. The invaluable benefits of it are already being realized. The Hutchinson Memorial Building is con- crete evidence of Tulane's constant progress in the field of medical education.

Dean Forrester and Law School Council WM, Wm l .lovial Gene and Trophy DEAN RAY FORRICSTER Hang Angel Chavez SCHOOL OF LAW The School of Law has as its primary objective the training of students for the practice of law in Louisi- ana, hut this is not its only aim. The school must he able to train students for the practice of law in other parts of the country, as well as in the Latin American and other foreign countries. The unique legal history of Louisiana, along with the geographical position and Latin culture of New Orleans, makes it particularly appropriate that the school serve a varied group of students with a diversity of legal programs.
