A Administration SCHOOL OF MEDICINE npHE School of Aledicine was established in 1872 and since ■ - then has been an integral part of the University of Missouri. Its pirimary purposes are the thorough training of its students in the fundamental branches of the medical sciences, and the promotion of research activities along lines which pertain to medicine. In fact, constructive research by the clinical and pre-clinical staiTs and their graduate students have constantly received national recog- nition. The rating of the School of Medicine is of the highest, and for many years membership has been held in the Association of American Medical Colleges. The clinical members of the faculty care for the health of the student body. The University Hospitals with the large dispensary provide adequately for the prevention of diseases and for the care of the students when sick. Dudley S. Conley Dea i The State Crippled Children ' s Service for the rehabilitation of indigent crippled children in the University Hospitals has had its field of usefulness greatly augmented by the acquisition of the Georgia Brown Blosser Home for Crippled Children at Marshall. This convalescent home has been open since January first and is proving of great aid to us, both in the number of cases of crippled children which can be cared for and the convalescent care they are recei ' ing. The School of Nursing offers professional training combined with cultural study in the College of Arts and Science, a happy combination offering many advantages of academic educa- tion in addition to profes sional training.

dmifiistration SCHOOL OF LAW T HE primary purpose of the Law School is to equip men and women for the practice of the law. The demand for finely trained, competent, and ethical lawyers is great and it is this type that interests the School. For this reason, the School does not seek merely a large number of students, and its entrance requirements and scholastic standards are such as to attract to the student body only those whose maturity, education, ability, and character fit them for serious study. However, graduates of the School are to be found in all parts of the state and there are included in their ranks leaders in the profession and in public life. Vv ' hile the School ' s first duty is to train lawyers, many University students who do not intend to practice law, take the law course because they consider it good training either for a business or public career. The School is a charter member of the Association of American Law Schools, an organization composed of the leading law schools of the United States and Canada, whose purpose is to further the cause of legal education and promote better legal scholarship. The School has always been given the highest classification by the Council on Legal Education of the American Bar Association. It is the only school in the state outside of the city of St. Louis that is endorsed by the Association. In addition to the everyday work of preparing students for the legal profession, the Faculty of Law is engaged in various research projects. The results of these investigations are made available in published form in the Law Series of the Lhiiversity of Missouri Rulletin, a quarterly. William E. Masterson Dean Lee H.

Administration DEAN OF WOMEN ' T HE wish of every human being is to be successful in the business of Hving and so educational insti- tutions have been established. One of the functions of a University is to help men and women students prepare themselves for whatever place they are to occupy in the world, by offering the opportunity for physical, intellectual, spiritual, and social develop- ment. It is hoped that this development will serve as the basis for adjustment to any situation which life presents. The whole institution must be brought into play for the accomplishment of this great pur- pose. The Committee on Student Affairs for Women is but a part of an educational institution. Its particular function is to serve as co-ordinator, co-operator, and counselor; and to guide and direct the life of the women students to the end that they may attain an appreciative under- standing of their newer freedom, and their ever-changing en ironment. As a co-ordinator, the Committee attempts to interpret the University to the students and the students to the faculty. As a co-operator, it hopes to aid in the maintenance of the University standards and ideals, to determine scholastic eligibility for extra-curricular activities, to outline organization programs, and to present a challenge through connecting the girl with the various campus activities whereby she may realize her potentialities. As a counselor, the Committee tries to make personal contacts, hold conferences, and to serve always with a sincere feeling of sympathy and understanding in order to forward in every way the major purpose for which the University exists.
