of the investigation of leprosy, and several sums given by Mrs. Isadora Newman for research in the Department of Pathology. A new engineermg building, the Stanley Thomas Hall, was recently built with a bequest of $60,000 from Mr. Stanley O. Thomas. By the will of Dr. Watson D. Woodward, of Port Jefferson, Suffolk County, New York, who died in October, 1913, there is given to the Tulane E ducational Fund for the exclusive benefit of the Dental School the sum of $28,000 and the residue of his estate, all subject to life use by several beneficiaries under the will. The Tulane Library has been enabled to add greatly to the efficiency of the Depart- ment of English Literature and the Department of History through the munificence of Miss Betty Bierne Miles and Miss Margaret Linda Miles. The gifts of Miss Betty Bierne Miles, amounting to $2,500, have been expended in a valuable collection of standard works in English and American literature. The gift and bequest of $6,000 from Miss Margaret Linda Miles has been used to purchase standard works in history. Both these gifts were made in memory of William Porcher Miles, in whose honor a tablet has been placed in the library. An athletic field which includes a stadium and large grandstand has been provided on the campus at a cost of about $10,000, contributed largely by the Progressive Union of New Orleans. A legacy of $10,000 for a drinking fountain on the campus of Tulane University for the benefit of its students was given by the will of Livia Hatch Bryant, of Colorado Springs, who died in February, 1914. The bequest is in memory of her father and it is to be known as the Hatch bequest. The H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College was the result of a donation of $100,000, in October, 1886, by Mrs. Josephine Louise Newcomb to the Tulane administrators for the establishment of a memorial to her only daughter. Mrs. Ne comb added largely to her original endowment and enabled the college to build the handsome group of buildings in which it is now domiciled. By her will, the University was made her residuary legatee and has received for the benefit of Newcomb College an additional bequest of about $2,700,000. Newcomb has since been the recipient of a bequest of $63,000 from F. Walter Callender. Under Article 230 of the Constitution of 1879, the Legislature of the State recog- nized the three departments — Law, Medical and Academic — of the University and granted $10,000 annually until 1884, when the administrators of the Tulane Educa- tional Fund waived this provision on the part of the State. During the three decades subsequent to 1884, the Tulane University of Louisiana has reached its present propor- tions, and now comprises the Graduate Faculties, the College of Arts and Sciences, the College of Technology, the H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College for ' oung Women. the College of Law, and the College of Medicine. The last named includes the Schools of Medicine, Pharmacy, Dentistry, Hygiene, and Tropical Medicine, and the Post- Graduate School of Medicine (Polyclinic). The H. Sophie Newcomb Memorial College includes the Schools of Art, Household Economy, Music and Education. (19)
