SCHOOL ' OF PHAVV CY ELMER L. HAMMOND Dean of the School of Pharmacy The School of Pharmacy was established at the University in July, 1908. For the first session, there were fifteen applications; a gratifying number considering the depart- ment had been opened only two months prior to registration. The Pharmacy School began to experience its largest period of expansion with the erection of the Chemistry and Pharmacy Building in 1923. Prior to this time, the depart- ment had been operating in inadequate, overcrowded quarters, which made improve- ment and expansion practically impossible. With the acquisition of this new building the department was able to increase the number of laboratories and install improved equipment. Under the guidance of Dean Elmer L. Hammon d, the School of Pharmacy has be- come one of the finer Pharmacy schools in the South,

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.

SCHOOL OF CO 6,1h1, AND BUSINESS ADLdUSTRATIOVI CLIVE F. DUNHAM Dean of the School of Commerce and Business Administration The School of Commerce and Business Administration was founded at the University of Mississippi in 1917. In the beginning a general course was offered in banking, trans- portation, and merchandising; while not attempting to differentiate in these separate subjects. The group of courses also included the subjects of political science, economies, shorthand, and typing, accounting and filing. These subjects were covered in sixteen courses. Today over six times as many courses are offered in the business school. The School of Commerce and Business Administration has since its founding expe- rienced the largest growth of any of the University ' s departments. This school ' s enroll- ment toady is second only to that of the College of Liberal Arts. Dr. Clive F. Dunham is the Dean of the School of Commerce and Business Administra- tion.
