The I ' niversity was no longer confined to one campus, in tact, and classes were designated as being held either on the south campus, main campus, or north campus.

The w ai ' was o er, and some of the schools of war w i-ic ln ' ing utilized for peacetimes to funush, classrooms in which (nmg men were taught to dissect cadav- ers so that the could sa e lives instead of take lives, and other nung men were taught to design beautiful buildings instead of destroy them.
