' ' V 1 - ; ' Aj |L Jj ! 1 1 H n ! - J i] Music Ha — School of Music C. H. MiLu Director USIC HALL, the gathering place of the returning alumni, IS the one spot which seems unchanged with the years, and the returning sons and daughters, though reminded by the chime from its tower of the passing of time, find it hard to believe that years have intervened since they last saw this faithful old sentinel of the upper campus. But though externally. Music Hal! IS the same, it is when they pass through its doors and en- counter the bustling lite of one of the fastest growing schools on the Campus, that they realize time has worked well in this particular corner of University life, and that historic old Library Hall will not adequately house, for many more years, the many activities which now count it their home. The School of Music, because of its very nature, is intimately connected with every phase of University life. No All-Uni- versity function is considered complete without the band, the orchestra, the glee clubs, or soloists. The state at large is also coming to depend largely on the School of Music for its Fes- tivals, its Radio entertainment, and its supervision of musical activities. It is through service that the School has reached its present position and through continued service it hopes to increase both Its growth and its usefulness. Il65

Wisconsin Geiieral Hospital The Medical School ITnEGREES were first granted at the University in 1854. At that - ' - time a medical school was contemplated as an integral part of the institution and was temporarily established on paper. About three-quarters of a century passed, however, before the Uni- versity granted its first medical degrees at Commencement last June. Though slow to hatch, the medical school has had a vigorous growth under the fostering warmth of the mother institution and is now emerging from its shell a healthy young- ster. The new Service Memorial Institute building for the medical sciences, now nearing completion, constitutes together with the Wisconsin General Hospital, the Bradley Memorial Hospital, the Student Infirmary, and the Nurses Dormitory, a fine group of buildings for the advancement of medical knowledge, for teaching, and for state service. The chief fea- tures which distinguished Wisconsin as compared with other university medical schools are first an unusually close connec- tion between the departments devoted to the basal medical sciences and other university departments such as physics, chemistry and biology as pure sciences and as applied to agri- culture, and second an exceptional development of state-wide laboratory, library, and consultation service. The former promotes the advancement of medical knowledge; the latter promotes the immediate application of advancing knowledge to human needs. So long as these ideals are maintained, the future of the medical school is assured. C . { ' Sj cXjLSi C. R. Bardeen Dean hs

J urses ' Dormitory The School of Nursing 1|D Y the establishment of a School of Nursing in the University, - ' - ' -- the State of Wisconsin has recognized the need of educating young women in the art of nursing. It has given the young women of the state an opportunity to enjoy the advantages of a university while obtaining their certificate in nursing. In 1924, two courses were organized. A three-year course leading to a certificate of graduate nurse and a five-year course leading to a Bachelor of Science degree and a certificate of graduate nurse. There has been a steady increase in the enroll ' ment in both courses. Ninety-four students registered this year as compared with eleven in 1924. The faculty also has increased from six members to nineteen. The instruction has not been confined to students of the School of Nursing. The last two years short courses in home nursing and first aid have been given to senior students in Madison High Schools and an elective course in the Depart- ment ot Home Economics.
