I he history of the I niversitv with respect to its component schools or departments has been varied. The t’niversitv began with four general departments: Academic. Biblical. I aw, and Medical. It also began, whether it liked or not. with an appendage of Prepara torv Classes; in the absence of eligible college entrants, at a time when the whole educa tional system in the region had broken down, it had first of all to prepare its own appli- cants to do college work. Preparatory classes were discontinued in 18f' '; b that time schools had developed to the point where the I ’niversitv was ready to make the assumption of a supply of proper entrants. In the meantime, in lK 9t the Dental Department and the Detriment of Pharmacy had been added; and a School of I'ngineenng. introduced into the Academic Department in IKKO as one of its constituent branches of instruction, became in 1KK( an independent Engineering Department with a building of its own. In 1915 the I’niversitv overhauled its organization, like other institutions in this period, and adopted the terminology which is in use today. I he old departments became schools, with the exception of the Academic Department, which Ivcame the College of Arts and Science. In 1920 the School of Pharmacv w.is discontinued; in 1926 the School of Den- tistry was suspended. The School of Nursing was established in 1925. At different times the schools of the I Imversitv have been rather wideb scattered over the city of Nashville. For many years the Schools of Medicine and Dentistry were in the busi- ness section; for other years they were situated on a south campus. I he School of l.aw also was long in the business section. But following the completion ot the new Medical Building in 1925, and the suspension of the School of Dentistry in the following year.

all the schools of the University have been consolidated within the area of the original campus. T wo disastrous fires have occurred within the history of the University. College Hall was destroyed in 1905; it was replaced in 1906 by the present fireproof structure. In 1932 Wesley I fall burned down, with the loss ol much ol its valuable theological library; it has not been replaced. Graduate instruction has been a part of the program of anderbilt I University since its founding in 1875. The degrees of M.A., M.S., M.E., Ph.D., and D.Sc. were listed in the earliest catalogues. The degrees of Master of Arts and Master of Science have been given continuously without intermission. The degrees of Doctor of Philosophy and Doctor of Science were discontinued in 1923 because the faculty concluded that library and instruc- tional facilities were not adequate to warrant granting them. In 1927 an increase in teach- ing force, in library facilities, and in scientific equipment was secured, with the result that work beyond the Master’s degree was resumed in certain departments. Under the plan adopted at that time, graduate instruction was organized as a department and administered by a University committee. This committee supervised all graduate in- struction offered by the College of Arts and Sciences and by the professional schools. This plan continued in operation until 1935, when by order of the Board of Trust the Graduate School was formed with a faculty of thirty-three members, selected on the basis of administrative responsibility and participation in graduate instruction. This number was increased later to forty by the addition of associate professors who give graduate courses. The Graduate Committee was abolished and in its place an Executive Council of the Graduate Faculty was organized. The Dean of the Graduate School and Senior College was appointed and graduate instruction was organized as a separate school. Addition ol buildings and funds to the University property was very slow for the first quarter ot a century; since then it has been more rapid. Some important benefactions by ( 161
