Head uf the fajulty and coordinator of all activities within the Graduate ColleKC is Dean R. W. Goss whose fine work and planning arc evidenced by the success of the administra- tive policy in the college. To equip men and women for important places in the world ' s affairs; to train them for a life of scholarship — this is the aim of the Graduate College and its faculty members. The far-reaching influence of the specialized training offered by the College has pro- duced eminent figures in literature, philosophy and the social sciences. Significant and valuable has been the work of the graduate students in the past years and this war-year has been no exception; experiments, re- search work, papers on findings and formulation of materials will be of help tt) those engaged in war in- dustries and the professionals. Make-up of the Graduate faculty is unusual for its professors arc taken from all departments of the Uni- versity and therefore constitute no separate faculty such as other colleges have. The professors are those under whom the graduate students worked in under- graduate days. C(jurscs offered by tlic (-ollcgc numK-r in ihe hun- dreds and are of all kinds and descriptions; therefore, the need of expanding the curriculum to meet w.ir con- ditions has not been acute. Although certain of the male students are being de- ferred because of the nature of their work, conscription is claiming many; those remaining are working hard toward their ultimate goal advanced degrees.

1 1 ' in IB ' ' nmS, r DEAN VERNA BOYLES G. W. ROSENLOF Very much a favorite with the feminine members of the student body is Dean of Women, Verna G. Boyies. Always eager to Usten to and cooperate with those inter- ested in changes and revisions of practices, she has proved herself invaluable in furthering student ' s interests on the campus. Realizing the need for placing social as well as academic activities on a war-time basis she has heen in- strumental in bringing these activities into harmony with current thought. She typifies the ideal dean so sought after but seldom found. Stay in school until called. This was the sound advice of Dr. G. W. Rosenlof who, in addition to serving in his three-fold capacity as Director of Admissions, Registrar and University Examiner, found time to counsel students concerning their war-time plans. More than doubled was the work of his office; aided by a competent staff he met constant requests for records of students entering defense work and military service; maintained contacts with other universities ' war-time plans and kept University records in order.

College of Medicine In an effort to fill the nation ' s most pressing need for doctors in both civilian and military service, the Univer- sity of Nebraska ' s College of Medicine graduated its first class of seventy-three seniors in March; thus ending the first year the college has been on a twelve month basis. Dean Poynter has found his work more difficult in trying to fit his college into the war program. He has succeeded in cutting the regular four year course to three years without sacrificing the essential training to produce the necessary graduates. This college is one of the few in the university whose enrollment has not been effected by the call for man power as medical students have been granted first class deferrments by selective officials. The college sends its men and women directly into the army and navy service, thereby fulfilling its duty to a nation at war. Future doctors and nurses working together spend hours in practicing.
