Morton Arnold Aldrich, B.A., Ph.D. Dean of lite College of Commeree and Business A dministration The College oi Commerce The purpose of this college has been since its establishment in 19 14, to offer sub- stantial professional training preparatory to a business career. The instruction offered is planned for students sufficiently able and mature to do work of university grade, and no student is received unless prepared to do work of this character. It is essential also to the permanent success of the college that its students approach their work in an earnest professional spirit. Students failing to do so may expect to be asked to withdraw. In order to make the courses available for business men and women, classes are also held at night from 8 to 9:45. These classes meet in the Association of Commerce building, each course being held one night in each week. By thus devoting only one night, a student may take any one of the night courses offered. m m

Douglas Smuu Andkrson, B.E., M.E. Dean of the College of Engineer ' iiiij rhe College oi Engineering The College of Engineering offers broad courses of professional training in the fundamental principles underlying the various branches of Engineering and Architec- ture. The formulation of these courses is the outgrowth of the best thought of edu- cators and the engineering profession and of our own experience during the last two decades. In harmony with this principle, a committee is formulating changes in the courses of the schools to give a broader training to those desiring to enter into the manage- ment of enterprises. The technical studies in the College of Engineering are contained in four divisions called schools. The schools are divided into departments. A department includes subjects, or groups of subjects, which are similar in nature. The schools are: Mechan- ical and Electrical Engineering; Civil Engineering; Chemical Engineering; Arichi- tecture. No candidate for a degree is allowed to restrict himself to the narrow training which might be imparted by any one school. Work in the technical departments of one of the above schools is made the backbone or principal part of a four years ' course, and supplemental work is required in other schools in the college. On the successful completion of a four years ' course one of the following degrees is granted depending upon the course followed : Bachelor of Engineering in the Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Course. Bachelor of Engineering in the Civil Engineering Course. Bachelor of Engineering in the Chemical Engineering Course. Bachelor of Architecture.

Judge Rufus Edward Foster, LL.B. Dean of the College of Law The College of Law The Tulane College of Law has been in existence since 1847, when it was known as the Law Department of the University of Louisiana, which subsequently became Tulane University. The purpose of the College of Law is to educate men for successful practice in the courts of Louisiana and in the Federal courts. In all courses special attention is paid to the Louisiana statutes and decisions, but this in no way lessens the value of such courses for students who come from other states. The aim of the college is, through the study and analysis of cases, to develop a legal mind and to ground it in legal principles. To this end the college has selected instructors for their fitness to teach and to train and for their willingness to devote themselves enthusiastically to these objects. The college provides a large and well selected law library by the use of which students become familiar with the extensive sources of the law and learn how to find the law. Its courses cover every important topic, and a period of three years ' study of law is required for graduation, enabling the student to become thorough in discipline and knowledge.
