DIVI I0 0 As the campus community becomes more and more developed and complicated, the significance of the division of student life is made more clear. The various student personnel oihcers on the staff of the Dean of Students are responsible for the inte- gration of the social, cultural, and recreational life of the student in such a Way that an atmosphere will be created wherein the learning process may best be fostered. By means of the orientation program at the begin- ning of the academic year, the personnel staff strives to assist new students in making the difficult transition DEAN JoHN H. STIBBS Dean of Students TUDE LIFE from reliance on parents to reliance on themselves, from a living experience within the family to life in the residence halls or group experience in large cam- pus organizations. Through a counselling system both in the office of the Dean of Students and in the residence halls, and through a faculty advisory system in the student or- ganizations, the othce of the Dean of Students attempts to bring the influence of the faculty to bear upon the students in and out ofthe class room hours. ln this Way it is hoped to promote the best possible relations among the students themselves and between the students and the members of the faculty.

Dean Lapham and Medical Student Council SCHOOL O In September of 1834- our medical school, as the Medical College of Louisiana, was founded as the first medical school in the Southwest. The usual four-year program leading to the degree of Doctor of Medicine is offered by the medical school. F DEAN MAXWELL E. LAPHAM MEDICINB The school also offers many graduate courses leading to the degrees of Master of Medical Science, Master of Public Health, and other degrees in public health. A number of short courses are offered in different specialties. THE HUTCHINSON MEMORIAL BUILDING The school year of 1955-56 marks another true milestone in the history ofthe Tulane School of Medi- cine. In the fall of this year, construction was com- pleted on the new Hutchinson Memorial Wing of Tu- lane's downtown medical center. The completion of the new building, in addition to increasing the acces- sibility of the latest equipment for modern medical research and teaching, makes possible the union of the entire four-year student body in a single central location. 14 By the fall of 1956, the entire medical school will be situated in the downtown location directly adjacent to Charity Hospital. As well as unifying the med school, this move also provides additional classroom and laboratory space uptown by vacating the old medi- cal building. With all due ceremony, the new building was dedi- cated. The invaluable benefits of it are already being realized. The Hutchinson Memorial Building is con- crete evidence of Tulane's constant progress in the field of medical education.
