THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE Denegre MartiNj M.D. Dean The Graduate School of Medicine is the Post-Graduate Department of the College of Medicine of the Tulane University of Louis- iana. It is the Mecca for the physicians who wish to take short review courses, or those leading to a specialty. During the forenoon instructions are given by men of train- ing and experiences in the Clinics of the Charity Hospital, Touro Infirmary and the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital, and in the afternoon and evening didactic lectures are delivered at the Hutchinson Memorial, covering all of the branches of Medicine.

THE SCHOOL OF PHARMACY Charle ' S Cassidy Bass, M.D. Dean This school was established in 1938. In 1908, the Pharmaceutical School of the Med- ical Department became the Department of Pharmacy of the Tulane University of Louis- iana, and in 191 3, with the reorganization of the divisions of the University related to Medicine, the School of Pharmacy became a part of the reconstituted College of Medicine. The school holds membership in the American Conference of Pharmaceutical Fac- ulties, organized to promote the interests of pharmaceutical education. ;:iV ' z . .;.!.Y-;:ji aKi«i .

SCHOOL OF DENTISTRY Alfred Archin ' Ard Leefe, D.D.S. Dean There is nothing which has caused more regret to the Board of Administrators of Tulane University than the necessity of discontinuing temporarily the Dental School. It was found that in order to meet the raised standards of dental education in a way which the Board regarded as commensurate with the work of the Uni- versity in other professional fields, the budget required for the school would create a constantly increasing annual deficit which would in a few years amount to approximately $100,000.00. The administration is will- ing neither to compromise the position which it has constantly maintained for high standards of education nor to embark on the ultimately ruinous policy of ac- cumulating deficits. This explains why the Board has been compelled to suspend temporarily its School of Dentistry. It is hoped that at least the dental clinic, which has been operated so successfulh , may be continued for it would be nothing less than a calamity to be .obliged to abandon this outstanding service to the poor people of New Orleans. THE GRADUATE SCHOOL John McL. ren McBrvde, Litt.D. Dean The Graduate School offers to men and women the opportunity of extending and rendering more thorough the scholarship obtained in undergraduate courses, and of advancing the boundaries of knowledge by special- ized work and research. The privileges of this school are extended to grad- uates of this University and of other institutions of equal grade. The general scope of the graduate in- struction offered in any subject may be gathered from the statements describing the Courses of Instruction. The work of graduate students is expected, however, to be in a measure independent of the regular courses of instruction.
