The Dental School was organized in 1887 and three years later became a department of ,the University. In 1896 it absorbed the American College of Dental Surgery and for some years occupied the building on Franklin and Madison Streets, Chicago, formerly occupied by that school. It is now located in North- western University Building, Chicago, occupying the upper three floors of the building, over 60,000 square feet. The location oi the school, in the transportation center of over three millions of people living Within a radius of forty miles, is one especially advantageous for obtaining the great number of clinical patients needed. VVith an enrollment of over 600, the Dental School ranks high among the schools of the University. DEAN G. V. BLACK The School of Music was established in 1895. It offers extensive practical and theoretical courses in music, and is equipped to fit students for the profession as com- posers, theorists, artists, teachers, or critics. It makes provision also for the study of music as a part of general culture or as an accomplishment. The School l occupies Music Hall on Willard Hall Campus. This building was erected during the year 1897 for the special needs of the School of Music. It is situated on University Place, between Sherman and Orrington Avenues, immediately to the north of Willard Hall and one block West of the University Campus. The courses of instruction are under the guidance of experienced specialists who have enjoyed the best advantages afforded by this country and Europe. The scholarly side of musical attainment represented in the theoretical courses is unusually complete and ex- haustive. DEAN PETER C. LUIKIN E321

Northwestern University School of Oratory was organized in 1878. It offers courses in Expression, English, Physical Training, Debate, and Oratory, and kindred subjects. These courses are planned to fit students for professional work as teachers and readers. Courses not leading to graduation may be taken by those interested in perfecting their powers as readers and public speakers or by those seeking cultural devel- opment. The School occupies Annie May Swift Hall on the University Campus. This building represents an p equipment which cannot be surpassed. I The faculty consists of instructors of ability and long experience who are prepared to be of service to Dnugcrog IQOBERT M, CLTAIXQCK students looking forward to public work of any kind, or to the field of teaching. The regular course of study covers a period of two' years. Upon the satisfactory completion of this work a diploma is awarded by the University. The School of Pharmacy was organized in 1886 and became a department of the University under the name of the Illinois College of Pharmacy. Five years later, in View of the approaching closer relations growing out of the erection of a large building for two schools, the name was changed to the present one, the Northwest- ern University School of Pharmacy. It now works in conjunction with the Medical School on S. Dearborn Street, after having occupied quarters throughout a part of its existence in the University Building in the Loop district. , The School of Pharmacy occupies an honorable position among similar institutions in America. Its courses qualify for the best work in the science and art of Pharmacy, and its alumni are loyal to its tra- ditions. Its entrance requirements are not exceeded by any in the country and longer courses are soon to be inaugurated. Of the original faculty which began work in 1886 Dean Long isngthe only member remaining in active service. 1311 x ' . ' 151. . swf---. .- g .... ,. ,,,, ,,. Eg Q.. .-f.g:fsf2f5s5?53fPf- ..., .

Several years ago, in response to an insistent demand, Northwestern University introduced in the College of Liberal Arts courses in engineering subjects. These courses were together equivalent to two years of technical work. The graduate of the College who completed them was prepared to earn the degree of an engineering school in two years. A gift for the erection of an engineering building at Evanston and for its endowment led the Trustees of the University to take action in june, 1907, resulting in the establishment of a College of Engineering. This gift came from Mrs. Gustavus F. Swift and her son, X Mr. Edward F. Swift. The building was completed in the winter of 1908-1909. Northwestern University was built up on the model of the eastern college and has maintained this charac- ter throughout its history. It has broadened its courses, and has liberalized its rules, but it continues to cultivate the humanities with jealous care. In keeping with these ideals, the course in engineering introduces an unusual number of those nontechnical studies that serve to develop general education and to cultivate the thinking power of the student. Ihnncron jonx F.I1avronn The School of Commerce was organized in june, 1908, through the cooperation of Northwestern University with sixty leading business men of Chicago. The School is a recognition of the rapidly developing professional standard in modern business, and of the need for thoroughly trained men to meet the problems which business complexity and specialization produce. It emphasizes the need for high grade professional A service and aims to develop the qualities of mind and spirit which the public is demanding from leaders t of business enterprise. The material offered by business activities of city and nation constitutes the laboratory of business edu- cation, the work of systematizing and reducing this material to teachable form is the special task of the University. By developing its opportunities for labora- tory study of this kind, the School may expect to be- come a clearing house for scientific business information. Northwestern University, with a building in the heart of the business district of Chicago, offers excep- , s tional opportunities for this work. Its situation brings g . . - - l the School within easy reach both of prospective stu- dents and of facilities for study and business research. DEAN Wm.ARn E. Horcnxrss E331
