m ? SCHOOL OF MEDICINE SCHOOL OFFICERS Howard Dunaway President Daniel Landau Vice-President Harold Cokely Secretary-Treasurer UNLESS popular inter- est in medicine, and especially in preventive medi- cine and public health, de- clines, physicians are likely to occupy positions of in- creasing influence in public affairs. If medical men are to continue to so serve, they must have not merely a fine technical medical education but also the best possible general education. To com- bine the scientific training required by modern physi- cians with the liberal educa- tion needed by leaders of the community is not easy, but it is possible. The Faculty of Medicine aims to so regulate access to and exit from this School as to give assurance that its students shall in due time be not only skillful workers in the specific scientific field for which they are trained but also intelligent contributors to the forces that make for the advancement of the communities in which they live. The University Hospital maintains hospital service available to residents of Missouri. Since July, 1927, the hospital service has been extended to include a free service to crippled children.

■ ] tl i U Is J SCHOOL OF LAW SCHOOL OFFICERS Randall Kitt President James H. Hall Vice-President Herbert Records Secretary-Treasurer .1 ' ip HE Law School was es- »k 1 tablished in 1872. At |fl that time it had a faculty HA composed of three men and HH there were five members of Hl the first graduating class. Hl Today the School occupies nV its own new fire-proof build- Hv ing, Lee H. Tate Hall. It has a faculty of seven full- time men and one part-time instructor. The student body numbers one hundred and forty-nine, of whom thirty-nine are Seniors. This is the largest graduating class since before the war. The library is the laboratory of a law school, and we are justly proud of ours. We have a collection of some twenty- nine thousand volumes and it is planned to add sub- stantially to this number during the coming year. Two years of college work are required of all students before they are eligible for admission to the School, and it is hoped that before very long conditions will make it possible to require three years as a prerequisite. Many students, realizing the value of such work, voluntarily take this extra year. A student should be as mature as possible to study law. HI Lee H. Tate Hall Page ZZ

DEAN OF MEN SCHOOL OFFICERS Frank Knight President ViNCiL Harmon Vice-President Louis Jacquin Secretary-Treasurer BECAUSE there has been much human waste in the processes of education and because it is now re- garded as desirable that no man shall go out from his college a failure until every- thing possible has been done to make him a success, there has come into existence the dean of men ' s office. The general function of a Dean of Men is to supervise the life of undergraduates, to the end that they may realize a higher attainment — scho- lastic, moral and social — than could otherwise be possible. At Missouri the Dean of Men spends much of his time in conference with students, instructors or parents. Through personal contacts he endeavors to help young men to a solution of itheir personal problems. By sympathetic and understanding advice he seeks to enlist the students in an intelligent furthering of their own interests and the interests of the University and community. At all times, the Dean of Men purposes to deal with each student, not only as a member of a very complex organization, but also — and, perhaps, chiefly — as an individual of vital importance in himself.
