The entrance requirements are hard and taxing Iml the (Hitcome is ex- Iremi ' lv rewarding. Tulane medical students are not a very familiar sight at many of the social functions. Freshmen, especially, seem to confine their activities to eating, studying, and walking to and from school with a little sleeping on the side — mostly as an extra curricular activity.
