I - .I ..5..n..I l I 'A- I BGCK ONE 0 FACULTY EDICAL Students at Pennsylvania are proud of their faculty. They feel that no finer or more universally respected faculty exists in the country today. This view applies not alone to professors, but to associates, assistants, and instructors as well. A relatively greater part of a student's time is spent with the latter group in practical application of medical principles, thus it is a natural consequence that we enlarge the section to include more of them. We regret our inability to include all of the more than five hundred members of the faculty. Of necessity, we have included only those actively engaged in teaching the class as a whole. Other factors beyond our control have further reduced the number whose pictures we had hoped to present.

From time to time its facilities have been increased to keep pace with the demands of modern science. From the University of Pennsylvania Illustrated. West Virginia by l3. ln the days betore a limit was set on the size ot our classes, We had auite a number ot students trom South and Central America, but with the increase in the number ot applicants who are citizens ot the United States, the number ot toreign students admitted has decreased. l do not teel that We can properly teach more students than We now admit, I think a wide geographical distribution ot students is a good thing tor our School. Most students return to their homes to practice. We do not want to become too provincial an institution. The selection ot the First Year Class in these days is a ditticult task. In l9l2, I tirst admitted a class. Only 6l aualitied students applied, and all were admitted. Now trom twelve to thirteen hundred students apply each year.
