Courses for Teachers James Adair Lyon, A.M., D.Sc. Chdirmdn For many years Tulane University has operated a number of courses to meet the need of those whose hours of employment will not permit attendance upon regular classes. The classes are sched- uled in the afternoon hours and on Saturdays, thus making it pos- sible for teachers, especially if they so desire, to add to their equip- ment in many subjects. These courses are of full college grade, conducted by regular members of the faculty, and in the case of students who have satis- factorily fullilled the entrance requirements, credits obtained may be applied towards a degree. Department of Middle American Research Frans Blom, Ph.D., A.M. Director The Department of Middle . ' nierlcan Research was founded in 192+ to conduct advanced research into the history, archaeology, botany, products and natural resources of Mexico, the Central .Amer- ican republics and tlie ' est Indies, as well as to gather and dis- seminate inforni:ition about tljese countries. Five expeililions have been sent into the Held. The Kifth Tulane Kxpedition was linanced by the ( hlcago World ' s Fair of 1933.
