THE COLLEcGE OF COMMEKCE Morion Arnold At drich, A.B., Pii.D. Dean The purpose of this college has been, since its establishment in 191+, to offer substantial profes- sional training pr eparatory to a business career. The instruction offered is planned for students suf- ficiently able and mature to do work of univer- sity grade, and no student is received unless prepared to do work of this character. It is es- sential, also, to the permanent succe:s of the college that its students approach their work in an earnest professional spirit. 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 in Gibion Hall, 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. 27

THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE Charles Cassedy Bass, M D., D.Sc. Dean New Orleans has been the leading medical center of the entire South and Southwest for almost one hun- dred }-ears. Wherever new ideas in medical progress have appeared, the medical profession of New Orleans has either reflected that progress promptly or has taken a leading part in its elucidation. Some of the sci- entific researches and contributions of the medical pro- fession of New Orleans have commanded attention and high esteem in every civilized country in the world. Students and doctors from every state in the Union, and from many foreign countries, come to New Orleans for medical training. To meet the ever in- creasing needs in this direction, Tulane is now erect- ing a new Clinic Building, adjoining our great Charity Hospital, which will provide the most complete and most extensive facilities for the best care of patients combined with the best opportunities for a thorough study of disease by the staff and students of the School of Medicine. Provision is also made in the new Hutchinson Memorial for the headquarters of the or- ganized medical profession of the City and State, represented by the Orleans Parish Medical Society and the Louisiana State Medical Society. Sufficient space is provided in the building for a library that will fall within the group of the largest five in the United States and be a genuine storehouse of medical knowledge. 26
