The purpose of this college has been, since its establishment in 1914, to ofFer substantial profes- sional training preparatory to a business career. The instruction offered is planned for students sufficiently able and mature to do work of uni- versity grade, and no student 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. In order to make the business courses available for business men and women, classes are also held at night from 8 to 9:45 o ' clock. These classes meet in Gibson Hall, Tulane University, each course being held one night a week. By thus devoting only one night a week to attending a course, a man or woman already in business may take any of the night courses offered. ,- ' ■ . .

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.

By action of the Board of Administrators of the Tulane Educational Fund of the Tulane University of Louisiana, the School of Pharmacy has been indefinitely suspended effective vith the close of the 1930-31 session. The Board and Faculty have satisfaction in the fact that until the school was closed it was maintained and conducted on the very highest plane and that the Alumni can always feel proud that they graduated from this School. Suspension of the School was made necessary by the fact that it had no endowment and it was impossible to maintain the standards for which Tulane Uni- versity of Louisiana stands without some income other than that from student fees. w ssmmm sm
