DEAN VAUGHN Dean Henry Vaughn came to this university as Dean of the School of Public Health in 1 941 , after serving for twenty-five years as Health Commis- sioner of the City of Detroit. He is well acquainted with Ann Arbor, however, being a native of the city and having attained his B.S., M.S., and Dr. of P.H. here at the university. You would never sus- pect a dean of being a baby-sitter but Dr. Vaughn does just that, taking great pride in his young grandson. Along with these duties he is an enthu- siastic swimmer, sailor and stamp collector. The School of Public Health, serving as a center of education and research, was established in July, 1 941 . It is supported primarily by funds from the University, the W. K. Kellogg Foundation, the Rockefeller Foundation, the National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis (for which it is a principal research center), and the United States Public Health Service. The past few years have found the school ' s re- search forces hard at work on influenza vaccine and a quinine substitute, originally for the armed forces but now for civilian use.

E The University of Michigan Student Branch of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, which was founded in 1914, has at present 395 members. Its purpose is to bring the engineer- ing student into contact with industry, and acquaint him with the work being done in various fields of mechanical engineering. This is accomplished by presenting three types of programs to the members. They are field trips to nearby plants to view the facilities and operations which these various industries employ,- lectures by industrialists and educators to present engineering topics concerning research, application, operation, and produc- tion; and movies to present visual information on industry. ! , 5 V 1 ,!!

H I ; ' 1 MEDICINE Dean Albert C. Furstenberg is very familiar with Michigan tradition, having been dean of our Medical School for the past fourteen years and having attained his own medical degree here. Along with his duties as Dean he has served in the capacity of civilian consultant to the Surgeon General of the United = States and has made a tour, just this year, of the Pacific Islands in an attempt to improve medical conditions there. Home again, Dr. Furstenberg has resumed his lifelong hobby of raising horses on his farm. The Medical School, first of our University ' s pro- fessional schools, opened in 1837, offers both a diversified curriculum, and diversified facilities to students entering the medical field. The pre-clinical laboratory studies are con- ducted in the East and West Medical Building. The University Hospital, which is essentially a teaching hospital under the control of the Board of Regents, affords the students valuable observation, and experience in the many stages and kinds of dis- ease. Typical of the diversified facilities are the Heart Station, the Base Metabolism Laboratory, and the Serology Laboratory. The large Medical School Library with 77,000 volumes, holds the rank of the most important reference medical library directly connected with any medical school. DEAN FURSTENBERG
