THE 1927 :i sar CiJARLKS Cassidv Bass, M.D. Dean of the School of Mcdidm- and I ' hai tna y The College oi Medicine Emerson once said, and very truly, The first wealth is health. It is more pre- cious to a people than good roads; the iiiiprovements of rivers and. harbors; the fosterina; of agriculture, or flic conservation of natural resources. Upon good health depends efficiency and ha|ipiness. The line between efficiency and inefficiency is drawn upon the ability of the individual to go to work to(la ' ; tliat between hajipiness and ludiappiness upon the ability to enjoy the work of today. Health is the great problem of lite. In tlie past Jiealrh has been (K-prrnK ' nt largely ujion curative medicine. In the fiitinc it will be largely dependent upon pre entive medicine. Statistics show that ever litt seconds a life is lost to our cciuntr through preventable di.seases. Medical .science believes that the known pic entable diseases constitute only a fraction of tho.se that can be |irevented. Ever since its establishment in 1834, the Medical College of Tulane I ' ni eisit ' has been doing its utmost to raise a standard of medical echication throughout the country. Now, after ninety years of active existence, it has taken its jilace with the leading medical colleges, not onl. of the state and coujifiy, buf ol the bole world. 16

The formulation of these courses is the outgrowth of the best thought of educators aiul the engineering iirofession and of our own experience during the last two decades. The technical studies ui the College of Engineering are contained in fnui ' divisions called schools. ' I he schools are di iiled into departments. A department includes subjects, or groups of subjects, which are similar in nature. The Schools are: Mechan- ical and IJecti ' ical laigiueei iug ; Ci il Engineering; Chemical Engineering; Archi- tecture. No candidate for a degree is allowed to restrict himself to the narrow training which nught be imparted by any one school. Work in the technical deji.-ii tments of one of the abo e schoids is niadi- the backhor.e or priiuipal p.irt ot a lour years ' cour.se, and supplemental work is rc(|iiirc(l in othci schools m the college. t-iii ' i i
