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.

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.

DR. T. T. EARLE Summer School SUMMER SCHOOL The Summer School conducts a twelve-week session in which courses are offered from the curricula of the College of Arts and Sciences, Newcomb, University Col- lege, Business Administration, Engineering and the Graduate School. The credits earned in the Summer School may be applied in those Colleges, as well as in colleges of other universities offering similar programs. The session is divided into two six-week terms, except for evening courses. A student may enroll in either term, or in both. Classes meet five times a week for periods of one and a half hours, except in the laboratory sciences. Thus a semester ' s credit in a subject may be earned in a six-week term. The evening courses are conducted on the basis of a single longer term. Degrees are conferred at the close of the Summer School.
