College of Medicine N these fn de .viecle times when professional schools throughout the country are striving to attain that Utopian shade of efficiency in keeping with present time educational advancement, the College of Physicians and Surgeons, the University of Southern California's Medical Department, has moved up in the very front ranks of the leading and up-to-the-hour medical institutions of the day. The light of advancing requirements in medical and surgical teaching has spread broadly into every department of this now strong and thoroughly established institution, until the efficiency of its various departments is marvelled at by men who know. Medical education at the present time is carried on along different lines from those that marked the progress of this work a few years ago. The routine method of teaching of a period rapidly passing, has given way to an established system of scientific research into the realms of the causes of diseases and to the eradica- tion of those causative factors which, when discovered and understood, as is rapidly being done, will make their management and control scientifically pos- sible. Scientific medicine has done more to alleviate human suffering and human misery in the past decade, than any other factor in man's wonderful achieve- ments. The minds of thinking people, made responsive by a broader education, and all that it implies, are awakening to a realization of those facts and are turning their faces away from superstitious impossibilities and are looking to scientific medicine to protect the human race against the ravages of sickness and disease, with the remedies and means that an omnipotent mind has placed within the reach of scientific men and women for scientific application, and not by means of the ostentation and cant assumed by unscrupulous or uneducated people upon an unsuspecting and credulous public. The College of Physicians and Surgeons is a scientific and broad institution of medical learning in all that the term implies, constantly advancing its require- ments and raising its standards, in keeping with other high class institutions throughout the country. The dean of this school, with the sanction and aid of the President and Trustees of the University, backed by a powerful faculty of the leading men in the profession in this city, has built this school up to its present high state of efficiency and will continue to advance its standards and make its efficiency felt, in keeping with the times. The University is proud of its medical department, the medical department is proud of the university, and the student body, by its loyalty, in the future as in the past, will make a greater advancement possible.
