R. C. PUGH. L.L.B.. L.L.D. Acting Dean of the College of Law. During the past summer, the College of Law removed to its new building on the University campus and by the beginning of the first semester, was settled in its new permanent home, Alphonso Taft Hall. For the first time in many years, the Law School is adequately housed and equipped. The shelf space of the library has been more than doubled and large addi- tions are being made to the library itself. lt now contains about 17,000 volumes and is in charge of a competent librarian who acts as adviser not only to law students but to every one connected with the University who desires to avail himself of our library facilities. The new location of the Law School brings the teachers and students into close contact with every phase of University life and the immediate effect of this has been very inspiring. The increased interest of the public in the school is manifested by the increase in registration this year. D It is expected that, by next year, there will be a reorganization of the teach- ing force, by which the faculty will be increased and strengthened and the field of the school activities be greatly enlarged. The College of Law is not only maintaining its high standards of teaching and legal scholarship and living up to its great traditions, but is fast forging ahead to the position of one of the finest law schools in the country.

A. C. BACHMEYER. M. D. Dean of the College of Medicine. For ages past, the doctor was summoned only when disease or injury was present and even today, his efforts, in the main, are spent in alleviating pain and restoring health. However, since we have acquired certain definite knowledge of the cause of disease, the elements of pre- vention of illness and the promotion of health have entered more largely into the practice of medicine. If past history is any indication, then these elements will take on an ever increasing importance in the future. Numerous laboratory tests and instruments of precision have been developed and are being used as aids to diagnosis. All of these, however, only serve to emphasize and more ac- curately detine and record the observations and deductions it is possible to make with our un- aided senses. The mind, with or without these aids, must still formulate the conclusion and direct therapy. It is highly important. therefore, that you use every effort to improve your natural facul- ties, for these modern assistants may not at times be available and you should not be found wanting. - The completion of your studies in college closes the initial phase of your professional life and should find you prepared to enter upon the practice of your profession. The medical college has endeavored to furnish you with the tools of learning in order that, by experience, you may become reliable and effective physicians. Your minds. however, should remain recep- tive and pliable so that you may readily adjust yourselves to the everchanging conditions in our profession. 25
