THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Douglas Smith Anderson, B.E., M.E. Dean The College nf Engineering offers courses of profes- sional training in the fundamental principles underlying the various branches of Engineering and Architecture. The formulation of these courses Is the outgrowth of the best thought of educators and the engineering profession and of our own experience during the last two decades. The technical studies in the College of Engineering are contained in four divisions called schools. The schools are divided into departments. A department in- cludes subjects, or groups of subjects, which are similar in nature. The schools are: Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chem- ical Engineering, Architecture. 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.

THE COLLEGE OF MEDICINE Charles Cassidy Bass, M.D. Dean Emerson once said, and very truly, The first wealth is health. It is more precious to a people than good roads, the improvements of rivers and harbors, the fos- tering of agriculture, or the conservation of natural re- sources. Upon good health depends efficiency and hap- piness. The line between efficiency and inefficiency is drawn upon the ability of the individual to go to work today; that between happiness and unhappiness upon the ability to enjoy the work of today. Health is the great problem of life. In the past health has been dependent largely on curative medi cine. In the future it will be largely upon preventive medi- cine. Statistics show that every fifty seconds a life is lost to our country through preventable diseases. Med- ical science believes that the known preventable diseases constitute only a fraction of those that can be prevented. Ever since its establishment in 1834, the Medical College of Tulane University has been doing its utmost to raise a standard of medical education throughout the country. Now, after ninety years of active existence, it has taken its place with the leading medical colleges, not only of the state and country, but of the whole world.

THE COLLEGE OF COMMERCE Morton Arnold Aldrich, A.B., Ph.D. Dean BBB w Hb The purpose of this College has been, since its estab- HH B IMll lishment in 1914, to offer substantial professional train- Jk bI S preparatory to a business career. The instruction jft 11 ' ■ ' ' is planned for students sufficiently able and Bk B a B H mature to do work of university grade, and no student ■BBB K » B BI B l 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 course available for business men and women, classes are also held at night from 8 to 9:45 o ' clock. These classes meet at Gibson ?Iall, Tulane University, each course being held one night a week. By thus devoting only one night a week to attending a course, a student may take any of the night courses offered.
