The first semester of this year it enrolled one hundred and five, -the largest enrollment of graduate students in any school of religion in the South. Yet no special effort has been made to secure students. It was important to secure a seasoned faculty and work out the organization before having a large student body to work with. The school was organized under the able leadership of Dean Edmund D. Soper. In the fall of 1928 he was called to the presidency of Ohio Wesleyan University. Since then Dr. Elbert Russell has se1'ved as dean. Next fall the school expects to move to the fine build- ing on the new campus, which will accommodate two hun- dred and fifty students and which has a chapel, library, and social rooms, class rooms, and ofii-ces arranged for its special needs. - In addition to the regular class work of the school, most of the students engage in some form of regular church work. There are twenty-seven in charge of churches. Others assist in connection with Sunday schools or young people's activities. About seventy are under appointment of the Duke Foundation for rural church work during the summer vacations. 1 1 1 The School oli Medicine The opening of the Duke University School of Med- icine in the fall of 1930 marks a new epoch of medical progress in the South, in that 'the school will be furnished with the most modern equipment and under the supervi- sion of a faculty composed of eighty or more of the most competent leaders known to the medical world in their respective fields. This faculty, with its enrollment con- stantly increasing, is under the able jurisdiction of Dean W. C. Davison, who has been a member of johns Hpokins Medical School for several years. A magnificent hospital will be operated in conjunction with the school, and should aHord an increasing supply of clinical material for the students. The hospital, school of medicine, and residence of both nurses and students will be housed in one build- ing, covering nearly six acres of floor space on ea-ch of its seven fioors. The advantages which this school offers have already been recognized by the leading medical au- thorities as second to none. 28 W ,,.., - ,iv ek .. fy ti?

The summer of 1919 saw an enrollment of eighty-eight students in the single term of six weeks. Last summer there were enrolled seven hun- dred and fifty-eight students the first term and four hun- dred and forty-six tl1e second term, in addition to two hundred and fourteen in the affiliated school at Lake juualuska, and thirty-six in the Junaluska School of Reli- gion, which is also afliliated with the university. The chief purposes of the Summer School, as stated by Dr. Holland Holton, director, who is also head of the de- partment of education and chairman of the faculty com- mittee in charge of the various summer school interests of the university, are first, to utilize the university plant tl1e full year as nearly as possible, second, to give mature and ambitious students opportunity for continuous work, and third, to co-operate in the teacher training programs of the Southern states. A noteworthy feature of the sum- mer school enrollment for the past three years is the fact that over twenty per cent has consisted of graduate stu- dents drawn from twenty-four states. 1 1 1 I-Io1.LANo PIOLTON A. ls., .1. o. Director of the Summer School Graduate School of Arcs and Sciences WILLIAM HENRY GLASSON Pl1.B., Pl1.D. Dean of the Graduate Srhool of flrls and Sciences In September, 1916, President Few appointed '1 com mittee on graduate instruction to promote and supervise graduate work in Trinity College. During the World War, and immediately thereafter, there were few grad- uate students. But before long there was a marked in- crease hoth in graduate students and in advanced courses offered. The requirements for degrees were thoroughly re- vised and higher standards were established. VVhen Trinity College be-came Duke University in 1924 the graduate department had already made encouraging progress. In the academic year 1926-27 the Graduate School of Arts and S-ciences was organized and Professor William H. Glasson was appointed dean. A council on graduate instruction was placed in charge of the new school. In recent years the growth of the graduate school has been rapid. The attendance has increased from forty- one in 1924-25 to one hundred and ninety in 1929-30. At commencement, 1929, there were conferred five Ph.D. de- grees, sixty-three A.M. degrees, and five Master of Edu- cation degrees. N Qxfvralnx , wwf g ff fg .- ra 1- '- if 6. 5 ' Sill?

lh 'll?i Tn nyaof CZHXANTHGLEB ll The School oil: Law After having been connected as a co-ordinate unit with Trinity College and Duke University for more than a quarter of a century, the Law School will begin anew with the completion of the new campus next fall. The acquisi- tion of Justin H. Miller, who for a number of years has successfully headed the School of Law at the University of Southern California, has been widely heralded as a progressive step toward the development here of a greater school for the study of law. Mr. Miller is a legalist of eminent reputation, and he was chosen dean after careful consideration of men available throughout the country. Several other prominent teachers, excellently versed in the science of law, have been secured to complete the school's faculty of eleven men. Since the death of Dean Samuel Fox Mordecai in De- cember, 1927, the school has been without an oflicial head, but its progress has been rapid even under this handicap. With the addition of such distinguished students of the law to its faculty, the school bids fair to soon become rec- ognized as outstanding among the nation's leading insti- tutions for legal training.
