Loss Dean 0 oldtimer can witness the demolition of the old sections of the St. Louis University School of Medicine without being overwhelmed with a flood of memories. Elation at the prospect of new and more adequate buildings is tempered by the memories of men who toiled in those halls for the development of medicine, the institution, and who now have passed away, they must not be forgotten, for theirs was pioneer work, often rough and thankless. Those who read these lines can well understand my own reaction, for I have seen every building of the school erected: the original College Building on Grand and Caroline in 1890, the Rebekah Hospital, erected in 1892 which was later used by the Dental School and still later by the Department of Biology, the Grand Avenue Building, built in 1901, and the small addition which Dean Lyon jocularly called the Dog and Dean's House , put up 1908.

School of Dentistry 's'ws XS wf0 ALPHONSEL M. SCHWITALLA, S. J. Regent of the Schools of Dentistry and Medicine Acting Dean of the Graduate School HE function of a University is threefold: to diffuse knowledge, to exert a dynamic influence on the community, and to create new knowledge. To the Graduate School is entrusted, in a special way, the third of these functions. It exercises this responsibility not only by the fostering of active research, but also by the development of the student's research capacity, with its characteristic attitude of mind and its special traits of character. It is for this reason that either active research or at least satisfactory evidence of a capacity forresearch must be made a prerequisite for all graduate degrees. The Graduate School of St. Louis University, recruited at iirst from the members of the Jesuit Order, has been in existence since 1896. Two years ago a reorganization made its facilities accessible to the entire student body. Now majors leading to the Masterls degree are offered in twenty' four departments, and the Ph. D. degree may be earned in fourteen departf ments. With the facilities close at hand, it is hoped that the student body of the University may increasingly ambition advanced academic. distinction, so that the St. Louis University may take its rightful place among the Graduate Schools of the country.

The instructors in Military 'Science and Tactics desire to thank the President of the University, the Regent of the Medical and Dental Schools, the Deans, all other members of the Faculty and the entire student body for their sincere cooperation. Major Clarence E. Lauderdale returned to the inactive list during the past year, and Major George R. Tressel, Dental Corps, U. S. Army, became Professor of' Military Science and Tactics of the School of Dentistry. On Armistice Day, 1926, St. Louis University presented the National and School Colors to the R. O. T. C. Units at a patriotic ceremony on the University Campus. ' The War Department has this year commissioned forty C4Oj Medical and thirtyfeight 138D Dental graduates of the University as First Lieutenants in the Cfficers' Reserve Corps. These men are fully qualified and ready to do their duty when called upon in an emergency. St. Louis University again takes the lead among the Medical and Dental Units throughout the country, and is always ready to combat the insidious forces which are working to make this a defenseless country, upon which the rest of the world might easily prey.
