nis. THE FISCAL DEPARTMENT The Fiscal Department acts as a channel for the handling of all financial matters concerning the College. In order to obtain its present efficiency the department has been divided into three divisions—each with a separate function. The Cashier’s division serves as a depository for the students; the Purchasing division handles all the buying accounts of the College; the Accounting division does all of the accounting work for the College. These divisions function under the able guidance of Mr. W. H. Holzman, who is executive head of the department. THE REGISTRAR Under the direction of Mr. E. J. Howell, Registrar, it is the task of this office to keep a watchful eye upon the past and present records of hundreds of students. Other departments of the College as well as outsiders depend largelv upon the observations of this office in determining a student s ability. Besides these responsibilities, the Registrar is concerned with the publishing of all cata¬ logues, directories, and official bulletins of the College; he also acts as a medium of information to the prospective student. This department has had a major part in giving A. M. its 1935-36 enrollment—the largest in the history of the institution.

THE SCHOOL OF VETERINARY MEDICINE The Dean of the School of Veterinary Medicine, Dr. Mark Francis, is recognized throughout the world as one of the outstanding authorities in his field.

The demand for graduates of the Veterinary School is constantly increasing since the graduates of this school are eligible for appointment in the U. S. Army, Bureau of Animal Husbandry, and as Veterinarians in the State Livestock Commission and the City Boards of Health. Found in the Veterinary School are these de¬ partments: Veterinary Anatomy, Veterinary Medicine and Surgery, Veterinary Pathology, and Veterinary Psychology and Pharmacology. Many students major¬ ing in ranching and dairying find courses in this department a great benefit. Dr. Mark Francis n ir
