THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEEKING Douglas Smith Anderson, B.A., M.A. Dean The College of Engineering offers broad courses of professional training in the fundamental prin- ciples underlying the various branches of Engineer- ing and Architecture. The formulation of these courses is the outgrowth of the best thought of edu- cators and the engineering profession and of our own experience during the last two decades. The technical studies in the College of Engi- neering are contained in four divisions, called schools. The schools are divided into depart- ments. A department includes subjects, or groups of subjects, which are similar in nature. The schools are: Mechanical and Electrical Engineering Civil Engineering Chemical 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 re quired in other schools in the college.

RuFus Carrollton Harris, A.B., LL.B., Jur.D. Dean The Tulane College of Law was established in 1847 as the Law Department of the University of Louisiana. It has afforded legal training to thousands during the period of Its existence. The purpose of the College of Law is to provide opportunities and facilities for training equal to the best afforded elsewhere. It purports to inculcate a sound knowledge of both substantive and adjective law. However, the school recognizes a duty beyond equipping and training of men to become practitioners. Many of the University students find its courses val- uable training for citizenship and business careers. The curriculum of the College of Law is unusually attractive in that it is arranged to provide for the special training of those who intend to prac- tice in Louisiana, and at the same time it is arranged to afford training to those who may wish to practice in any of the other states. The College of Law owns a large and well selected library, which is recognized as one of the most complete in the Southern states. It is a member of the Association of American Law Schools, ' and has been given the Class A rating by the American Bar Association, and its degree is registered by the New York College Board of Regent:-. These are the standardizing agencies for law schools. The publication of the Tulane Laiv Review by the College of Law affords a medium for the expression of the best thought available on the Jurisprudence of Louisiana.

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 years. 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 Ecientific researches and contributions of the medical profession of New Orleans have commanded attention and high esteem in every civilized country in the world. Stu- dents and doctors from every state in the Union, and from many foreign countries, come to New Orleans for medical training. To meet the ever increasing needs in this direction, Tulane has erected a new Clinic Building, adjoining our great Charity Hos- pital, which provides the most com plete and most extensive facilities for the best care of patients combined with the best opportunities for a thorough study of diseases 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 will be a genuine storehouse of medical knowledge.
