Dr. W. H. Glassox Dean of Graduate Se woi Dr. E. D. Sophr Dean, School of Reliy ' ion Dr. W. C. Davison- Dean, Scliool of Medicine Tke Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Graduate work for the degree of Master of Arts has long been offered at Duke University. In 1916 President Few ap- pointed a Committee on Graduate Instruction of the faculty tn supervise the instruction of graduate students. In December, 1924, the trustees definitely included a Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in the university organization. Dr. W. H. Glasson was appointed dean of the Graduate School and a Graduate Council established in the year 1926-27. During the twelve months ending at commencement, June, 1927, the registration of graduate students numbered 170 in summer school and 87 during the academic year. Twelve states beside North Carolina have been represented in the attendance. For the year 1927-28 six- teen graduate fellowships ranging in value from six hundred to one thousand dollars, and twelve graduate scholarships of the value of three hundred dollars each have been awarded. The new announcement of the Graduate School states the require- ments for three advanced degrees: Master of Arts, Master of Education, and Doctor of Philosophy. Tne Scnool oi Religion The School of Religion is the first of the professional schools to be organized under the terms of Mr. Duke ' s indenture of December 11, 1924. The school began its work with the aca- demic year 1926-27, but the formal opening exercises were not held until November 9, 1926. The work was begun with seven professors giving instruction and eighteen students, all of whom were college graduates with the A B. degree. Thus from the beginning the School of Religion stands out as a strictly graduate school, closely related to, but not to be identified with the under- graduate department of Religion in Trinity College. The courses lead to the degree of Bachelor of Divinity. Since the opening of the spring semester, enrollment has been twenty-three. Spe- cial chapel exercises are held each Saturday morning. One of the buildings to be erected on the new campus is to house the School of Religion. It will contain a chapel, classrooms, and other special rooms. The School of Medicine A result of the execution of the special wishes of the university benefactors is the formation of the School of Medicine. Tentative plans provide for the opening of this school, in its separate unit on the greater campus, by the fall session, 1929. Dr. Davison, who was appointed to his post in 1926, has engaged in con- siderate and careful study of policies to be pursue d. Standard courses leading to medical degrees will be offered. A feature of the new school is to be the main hospital plant operated in connec- tion with the other departments. 26
