DUKES DEAN or GRADUATE SCHOOL The Graduate School offers ad- vanced courses leading to higher de- grees in order to meet an increased demand for preparation in studies beyond the undergraduate range. Such training is now essential for teaching in universities and colleges, as well as in the better secondary schools. There is also a great need for adequately trained research workers in the sciences, such as biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, psy- chology and their applications to agriculture, engineering, pharmacy, medicine, sanitation, and the industries. To meet this growing demand the University has established advanced courses and laboratory facilities in all its departments. On the satisfactory completion of the requirements the student is granted an appropriate master's degree. This will normally require the student's full time for one year. To those desiring to do still more advanced graduate work the degree of Doctor of Philosophy is offered. More than five hundred graduate students are enrolled during the present year. More than one hundred advanced degrees were conferred during the past year. Young men and women who desire to fit themselves for posi- tions of responsibility in the modern world realize that the training offered on the undergraduate level is no longer sufficient and are taking advantage of the facilities offered for advanced training.

152. Sl if ln came ginal years most great since PROFESSOR c, B. lORDAN DEAN OF SCHOOL OF PHARMACY l884 the School of Pharmacy into existence for the purpose of training students in the sciences on which pharmacy is based. The ori- plan of study requiring two of twenty weeks each seems inadequate now, but was a advance in those early days there were no educational re- quirements nor licensing provisions for the practice of pharmacy in Indiana, With the passing of years, the School of Phar- macy has altered its courses both in length and subject matter, not in keeping pace with the changes and advances in pharmaceutical education, but as a leader in that field. Today the original purpose of the school -to train in the sciences on which pharmacy is based- is maintained. Along with it is another purpose-to train individuals for useful and cooperative positions in the society of mankind. Medicines are manufactured and prepared for the Student Health Service of the University, thousands of prescriptions are filled, and hundreds of X-ray pictures are taken each year of students that give a positive response to the tuberculin test, ln addi- tion, an extension service is maintained which makes available information and facilities of the Pharmacy School to all druggists of the state.

eCLImmiZCm PROFESSOR G. A. YOUNG HEAD OF SCHOOL or MECHANICAL ENGINEERING Motion and machinery quite ac curately outline the field of mechan ical engineering. lt may be subdi vided as follows: power engineering including the designing, building, and operating of steam, gas, inter nal combustion, and water power plant equipment, transportation, in- cluding railway, automotive, rna- rine, and aerial transportation and elevators, hoists, and conveyors, heating, ven- tilating, and air conditioning for dwellings, factories, and public buildings, manu- facturing, including tools for production and factory equipment, agricultural imple- ments, tools for construction, and mining machinery, refrigeration, including ice manufacture, temperature control, and cold storage, industrial engineering, includ- ing organization for production, plant arrangement, job analysis, and planning man- ufacturing processes, and relations between labor and capital, administrative, which outlines a Course of studies to train the executive in business law, accounting, cor- porate law, money and banking, contracts and specifications. The mechanical engineer is one who adapts new methods to Old WOrl4, and Old methods to new work, l-le must have the ability to create, to build and develop new devices, to improve tools and shorten processes.
