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.

DEAN RAY FORRESTER School of Law SCHOOL OF LAW The School of Law was established in 1847. It is a member of the Association of American Law Schools and is on the approved list of the American Bar Associa- tion. The School occupies all of Tilton Hall, which is located on the campus just off the St. C harles . venue Circle. There are approximately 250 students in the School. This permits the close relationship between faculty and students which is essential to the School ' s philosophy of legal education. The School offers two curricula: one in Civil Law and one in Common Law. Each leads to the degree of Bachelor of Laws. 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 JOHN R. HL ' BBARD Newcomb College NEWCOMB COLLEGE Newcomb College was the first co-ordinate college for women established in the United States. As such it enjoys its own buildings and campus, its distinct tra- ditions and history, and its own faculty. Newcomb girls to a very real degree govern their activities through their own agencies such as the Student Government As- sociation, the Honor Board, and the Resident Govern- ment Association. Thus is the congenial atmosphere of the small liberal arts college preserved. Yet at Newcomb there is no academic, cultural, or social isolation. As an integral component of a major university system. Newcomb offers its students the man- ifold benefits attendant to Tulane. In terms of library resources, the great variety of course offerings, and the caliber of instruction assured by the presence of a Grad- uate School of recognized e. cellence, Newcomb is in- deed rich in its ability to offer a trul liberal education.
