On the graduate level the degree of Master of Civil Law is awarded for satisfactory work in Civil Law and the degree of Master of Laws for satisfac- tory work in Common Law. i School of Law Student Council Law students sweat that ONE big exam.

DEAN MAXWELL E. LAPHAM School of Medicine SCHOOL OF MEDICINE Tulane School of Medicine was established in 1834 to train physicians to combat the diseases peculiar to the area. Over the years it has grown into an institution which not only teaches medical students but carried on extensive medical research and extends medical services to many other instituions in the community. Considerable emphasis is now being placed upon re- search and it will no doubt become as important as train- ing of the medical student. The two go hand in hand. The medical teacher who is doing research cannot fail to impress his students with the importance of research to the medical practitioner. Medical school services to hospitals and health agencies imbue the student with a sense of service. The teaching of comprehensive medicine and rehabilitation stress the health of the whole patient, not merely the treatment of his diseases. Tulane medical graduates therefore enter upon their careers having had a high ideal communicated to them as part of their education.
