The Graduate School of Medicine is the depart- ment of the College of Medicine of the Tulane Uni- versity of Louisiana which provides post-graduate instruction to the medical profession. The courses offered are arranged to afford work from October to June of each year, and during that time there may be found medical graduates from all parts of the country who come to avail themselves of the opportunities presented in order to keep abreast with the recent advances in iii ' edicine and surgery, or to specialize in the major branches. Instruction during the forenoon is carried on in the wards and clinics of the Charity Hos- pital, Touro Infirmary and the Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital, and the afternoon and evenings comprise didactic lectures and work in the clinical laboratory at the Hutchinson Me- morial Building. All of the instruction, whether didactic or clinical, is under the direction of men experienced in the various branches of medicine and surgery.

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

Frans Blom, Direclor The Department of Middle American Research was founded in 1924, for the purpose of advanced research into the history, archaeology, botany, natural resources and products of Mexico, the Central American Repub- lic ., and the West Indies, and to gather and dissem- inate information in regard to these countries. Five expeditions have been sent into the field. One of these was primarily agronomical, and three others had archteology and ethnology for their chief purpose, but all of them gathered as much data as possible. The fifth expedition went to the Nunnery Quad- rangle of the ruins of Uxmal in Yucatan, for the pur- pose of making a complete and detailed study of this group of structures which will be reproduced in full size as an anthropological museum at the World ' s Fair of Chicago in 1933. This expedition was financed by the World ' s Fair of Chicago, and the National Re- search Council of Washington selected Tulane Univer- mm jjj mij f H to do The Museum of the Department contains many val- uable and interesting collections, having material on Middle America and related anthropology, as well as on the Southeastern United States. The Library ranks among the leading research libraries of the country, and contains anthro- pological and archnological books, man ' rare manuscripts, and also volumes on travel, geog- raphy, botany, biology, and cartography of Central America. Both the Museum and Library are open every week day from 9 to 12 A. M. and r to 5 p. M., except on Saturday afternoons. A new society has been formed this year, its membership consisting of those who have taken in the Field with the expeditions conducted by the Department of Middle American Research of Tulane University. Each expedition member has received a key composed of the letters T. U. X., which stands for Tulane University Expedition, and on the reverse is engraved his name and year or years he was in the field with the outfit. F. Blom, 1925-1928-1930 O. LaFarge, 1925-1927 E. S.
