S C H OOP, C AT I 0 RI FORREST W. MURPHY Dean of Education This school was organized in 1903. However prior to this time there had been a chair of Pedagogy which was established in 1893. The annual catalogue shows progress and growth in this department which led to the creation of the school itself. The first Dean of the School of Education was J. G. Deupree. In 1908 the Dean started the extensive task of developing the high school system of the state in connection with and with the cooperation of the General Education Board. This work added to the Dean ' s title of Professor of Psychology, the title of Professor of Secondary Education. Since this time the School of Education has developed along two lines: it has graduated students with the high standards necessary in the teaching field and it has developed with the Public School System of Mississippi and expanded so as to best serve and improve it. The School of Education is now headed by Dean Forrest W. Murphy.

SCHOOL OF ENGHINIEERIVI FREDERIC H. KELLOGG Dean of the School of Engineering Though the Scho ol of Engineering was not organized as such until 1900, courses in Engineering were offered by the University at the time of the reopening of the school immediately after the close of the War Between the States. A department of physics, astronomy, and civil engineering was organized in 1865. In 1867 the first two were combined leaving the civil engineering as a separate department, or school, in the Academic Department. After the School of Engineering was begun in 1900, there followed various depart. mental changes which were necessary to consolidate the departments. Since 1903 when the legislature made its first appropriation, many more large sums of money have been given for new equipment, and recently Mr. Bob Carrier gave the University its new Engineering Building. With Dr. Frederick H. Kellogg as its Dean, the School of Engineering today offers an integrated program of four, five, and six year curricula, parts of which are tied in with the department of chemistry, the School of Commerce and Business Administra tion, and with the department of geology.

SCHOOV OF 1AEDliCINE DAVID S. PANKRATZ Dean of the School of Medicine The School of Medicine was founded by a special act of the Board of Trustees in 1903. It embraced only the first two years of the regular four year course. It met with much difficulty during the first years of its early existence; not only because of inade- quate facilities and quarters, but also because of opposition of physicians throughout the state to a medical school away from a large city. These difficulties were overcome in a very few years, and recently every dream came true when the new Medical School in Jackson was completed. This new building has the best in all types of facilities and quarters. The course of study has been lengthened to include the complete course of four years and the enrollment has increased as stu- dents take advantage of this school. David S. Pankratz is the Dean of the School of Medicine.
