MEDICAL FACULTY Rev. J. J. McInerny, S. J. oActing c Dean The BLUE-JAY 1933 The School of Medicine THE Medical School, in addition to the regular class work, puts a great deal of stress on the clinic and practical work which will help turn out accomplished doctors. The dispensary, as far as possible, produces the conditions and routine of a large and well organized group of offices, where many doctors, representing the various specialties, have con- venient access to one another, and a patient, and can, with lit- tle loss of time, obtain all the expert examination and consul- tation his malady requires. The students working in the dispensary prepare a diagnosis and prescribe treatment for the patients under the supervision of members of the faculty. In those cases where prescriptions are needed, the students make out the prescription, which is checked by the supervisor, and is then presented by the recip- ient to the students in the pharmacy dispensary, where they will be filled. The medical clinic is operated in cooperation with the phar- macy dispensary and the hospitals affiliated with the univer- sity. Here in the clinic the students have a chance for actual practice of medicine where they are still under the direction of instructors who aid them in those cases which require advanced training. The clinic is maintained for the privilege of the public. Patients who do not require hospital attention are c?.red for at the clinic. [16]

The journalism department is connected with the Commerce College because of the close alliance between the newspaper and the business world in the present day. This is true both within and without the newspaper. As the newspaper is a business and has a complex business department, the study of commerce in conjunction with journalism is advantageous. Then, too, the modern newspaperman must know a great deal about the operation of the business world because a great deal of the present day news is connected with business. The location of the journalism department in a large city with two metropolitan newspapers is a distinct advantage to the students as it brings them in contact with modern newspaper practices and modern newspaper equipment. The evening division of the College of Commerce and Jour- nalism has become an important development. The enroll- ment in the school and the faculty has steadily increased until at present practically the whole commerce faculty is teaching night classes. Special emphasis is given to the courses in economics and accounting courses. The majority of the stu- dents enrolled in the night courses are working men and wo- men who are studying in fields related to their regular work. There are some students working for a degree who are unable to take a full day course and some of the regular commerce students take evening courses to complete requirements or to get a special subject.

T W. J. Holder. A. J. Smith C. Seaman In the clinic there is now a full complement of the most mod- ern and costly diagnostic instruments, and trained technicians are available to supplement the judgment of the physicians. There is a well equipped laboratory, an X-ray department, and means cf radiological treatment, for determining basal meta- bolism and electrocardigram. In addition to the student doctor ' s specialized work in the clinic, he gains a general knowledge by being on call to visit the homes of persons too ill to report to the clinic. In all cases requiring hospitalization, the facilities of St. Joseph ' s, St. Cath- erine ' s, St. Bernard ' s, Mercy and the County hospitals are at the disposal of the medical students. By means o f a daily record, which contains every step from registration to completion of the operation, a reference is kept on hand for all work done by the students. This system pro- vides that at the end of the year it can be readily determined whether the skill and experience of each student entitles him to pass in the practical work, upon which his life vocation is based. The School of Medicine works on the theory that a doctor needs more than a thorough knowledge of the medical sciences in order to be a successful practitioner and citizen. The doc- tors, as leaders in their own communities, must be prepared to take the lead in its activities and in order to do this must have a good cultural knowledge and moral stability. This is just what the School of Medicine affords to the numerous students who hail from all parts of the country, and ai;e registered in this department of the university. F. J. Kabiesman Rev. J. J.
