---scfyppi-at ii- Another outstanding change in the curriculum and teaching methods of the School is the enriching of the course in Dietetics and Nutrition. A full-time instructing-dietitian is now assigned to the teaching of student nurses. The entire course has been re-vamped and enriched. and promises to be one of the most worthwhile courses in the curriculum. It gives me much pleasure to hereby grate- fully acknowledge the support and sympathetic co-operation the Director of Dietetics. Miss Margaret Gillam. and her assistants have given the Faculty of the School in bringing about this improvement. Already it is possible to discern an increasing interest in the problem of food serving, etc., on the part of the student nurses who have had the opportunity of taking the course. Continual emphasis during the year has been placed on scholastic attainment. The honor point system has been established and went into effect with the Freshmen group of the September class. A compulsory quiet-hour study period from 7:30 to S230 every evening is now being maintained. The same system of marking the blue-bool's and the same system ffoverninu' re-examinations as is 5 X f I . 5 m f used in the Literary College has been put into effect. Late passes are now being governed by scholarship, i. e.. any student maintaining lower than a C grade automatically loses her late pass privileges until her scholarship shows a distinct improvement. The function of Student Government has been extended during the past year. Now all major cases of discipline are submitted to a joint committee consisting of all Student Council members and the Faculty Committee on Discipline. Both students and faculty alike feel that this has been a step taken in the right direction and it is hoped that Student Governments function may be extended even further as time goes on and a higher morale is built. The Constitution and Hy-Laws of the Student Government have been entirely revised during the year. The monthly mass meetings have continued to be well worth while, indeed, as they have brought about a more sympathetic understanding between the student body and the faculty. lt is with great pleasure that l announce that sufficient money has been appropriated by the Cniversity to complete the furnishing of Couzens Hall. It is expected that August lst will find Couzens Hall as adequately furnished as any nurses' dormitory in the country. The ,Xluinnae Association, whose interest and devotion in the School is becoming keener with the passing of the years, has asked that it might have the privilege of furnishing the lobby in Couzens Hall. It was felt by the organization that no better way could be found by which the existence of the Association and its function could be constantly brought to the attention of the students of the School than by furnishing the lobby through which they constantly come and go. The class of 1926 gave S125 to the School for the purchasing of floor lamps for the lounge and reception rooms of the dormitory. This class, likewise, gave the sum of 5525 toward the building up of the fiction library which has been so woefully needed. It is hoped that it will become traditional for the graduating classes to give a gift to the School.

---- S C52 P E L -li The Year's Development of the School O THOSE GRADL'.XTllS and friends of the School who might be interested i11 learning a little about the year's developments in the School. I herein submit a brief summary of the most important or happv events of the vear. ' The vear had a most auspicious beginning in that the largest Freshmen class in the history of the School found its way to our doors last September. Both the September and February classes of this school year were nearly double in number over those admitted at the same season in previous years. The September class numbered some one hundred twenty students and the February class thirty. The second most outstanding event of the year was a transfer of the teaching of the basic sciences to the campus proper. The graduates of the School will rejoice to hear that our dearly beloved Dr. Huber is now teaching the course in .Xnatomy and Physiology. Dr. Howard li. Lewis, one of the best known physio- logical chemists in the country, is, with his assistants, giving the course in Chem- istry, and Dr. Malcolm Soule, Dr. Novys able assistant, is teaching the course in Bacteriology. The total number of hours given over to the basic sciences has been materially increased, to wit: Chemistry, lO5 hours: Anatomy and Physi- ology, 120 hours: Bacteriology, 45 hours. The l'lOl11'5 given over to the course in Nursing Principles and Practice has, likewise. been materially increased tsome 30 hours! and the entire emphasis in the teaching of the same is placed on ':ut11'd, rather than on Cftl.YXI'0l7IlI' instruction. Proper assistance has made it possible to establish an adequate follow-up system and it is felt that the bedside nursing in the hospital will be greatly improved thereby. A new cou1'se has been added to the curriculum this year, namely First Aid and Emergency Nursing. This course. which is given by a nurse. as well as physician instructor, was planned on what might be called the project method. lt has proven to be one of the most popular courses in the School. So popular indeed was it that. unheard-of state of affairs, older students asked if they might attend! The case study method of instruction is being used extensively and has proven to be most satisfactory in every way. .Xn instructing-supervisor is to be assigned to each clinical service as rapidly as the proper person can be found. :Xlready half of these important positions are filled and September, 1927, it is expected, will find us with our full quota. :X close correlation between practice and theory has been made possible through the proper repeating of certain lectures. For example, every student assigned to the surgical wards receives her surgical lectures while there: every student assigned to the medical wards receives her medical lectures while nursing medical patients. etc.
