COURSES FOR TEACHERS James Adair Lyons, A.M , D.Sc. Dean For many years Tulane University has operated a number of courses to meet the need of those uhose hours of employment will -not permit attendance upon regular classes. The classes are scheduled in the after- noon hours and on Saturdays, thus making it possible for teachers especially, if they so desire, to add to their equipment in many subjects. These courses are of full college grade, conducted b)- regular members of the faculty, and in the case of students who have satisfactorily fulfilled the entrance requirements, credits obtained may be applied towards a degree. } DEPARTMENT OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION Mr. Bernard Bierman Director The work carried on by this department may be divided into several different cla.ssifications. 1. Giving the required physical education work to Freshm;n. 2. Giving instruction in the four year course of Physical Education and Athletic Coaching. 3. Sponsoring and administering all forms of intra-mural athletics. 4. Inter-collegiate athletics. There has been a steady and rather rapid increase in the number of men active in one or more of the four branches. During the past year about three hundred Freshmen have taken the required work, fifteen have enrolled in the four-year course, at least three hundred men have taken part in intra-mural athletics, and over two hundred have been candidates for inter-collegiate teams. m ' :hi ' : )r ' ' : ' ' :■ ' ' JP :- '

To men and women holding the Bachelor ' s degree from Tulane University and from institutions of equal grade the Graduate School offers courses leading to advanced degrees in the fields of the liberal arts, the sciences, and engineering. In addition to these, ad- vanced courses in medicine leading to the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy are given in the College of Medicine by members of the Medical Faculties who have been elected to membership in the Faculty of the Graduate School. Opportunities are afforded for clinical work in he hospitals of the city under the guidance of well-known specialists. Thus the Graduate School presents carefully planned courses designed for teachers desiring to gain a broader and deeper knowledge of their chosen fields and for graduates in engineering and medicine wishing to specialize in some particular lines of work. DENTAL CLINIC Alfred A. Leefe, D.D.S. Dircclor At the close of the session, 1927- 1928, the School of Dentistry was temporarily suspended on account of the lack of funds for endowment. Owing, however, to the great service rendered by the dental clinic to the school children of New Orleans, as well as to the many patients who are unable to pay for such service, the Board of Administrators of the Tulane Educational Fund decided to finance the clinic another year, in the belief that through it, the University can render a most valuable service to the health and welfare of the people of New Orleans. The clinic staff consists of four full-time, three half-time, and four part-time operators. The Clinic is open daily, except Sundays during the entire year from 9 A.M. to 4 P.M., and on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 12 M. Since the causes of many disease have been attributed to local infection around the roots of teeth, unhealthy gums and unclean oral cavaties, it is earnestly hoped that some means may be found by which the work in the dental clinic may be continued.
