FlS !k9»«Kn- I I SCHOOL OF MEDICINE OFFICERS C. W. Meinershagen James Mulkey . Otto Aufranc President Vice-President Secretary- Treasurer THE School of Medicine continues to interest itself primarily in basic scientific education for medical students and in the pursuit of research in the fundamental sciences upon which the study and practice of medicine are based. It is in the first two years of study that the framework of one ' s whole medical education is constructed. We believe it to be our duty, therefore, to see to it that the training offered here shall be so comprehensive and practical as to enable one throughout his professional life to adapt himself intelligently to the shifting currents in medical practice and enable him to estimate correctly the value of new methods and means proposed for the maintenance and restoration of health in individuals and in communities. In determining the list of eligibles for admission to the School of Medicine each year, we place a high value upon character, believing that the practice of medicine in all its branches, whether in purely individual endeavor or in connection with institutions established for the care of the sick, should be entrusted only to well-trained physicians who maintain high moral and ethical standards. A School of Nursing is maintained at the University under the direction of Miss Pearl B. Flowers, Principal. In addition to the usual course in nursing, students may take a course com- bined with work in the College of Arts and Science. From the point of view of a well-rounded cultural education, this off ' ers many advantages to the usual nursing course in city hospitals which are not connected with universities. Dean Edgar Allen.

I h jp « 2£:s:s= Dean Parks Lee H. Tate Hall SCHOOL OF LAW THE primary purpose of the Law School is to equip men and women for the practice of the law. The demand for finely trained, competent, and ethical lawyers is great. The School does not seek merely a large number of students, and its entrance requirements and scholastic standards are such as to attract to the student body only those whose maturity, education, ability, and character fit them for serious study. However, graduates of the School are to be found in all parts of the state, and there are included in their ranks leaders In the profession and in public life. The School is a charter member of the Association of American Law Schools, an organiza- tion composed of the leading law schools of the United States and Canada, whose purpose is to further the cause of legal education and promote better legal scholarship. The School has always been given the highest classification by the Council on Legal Education of the American Bar Association. It is the only school in the state outside of the city of St. Louis that is endorsed by the Association. In addition to the everyday work of preparing students for the legal profession, the Faculty of Law is engaged in various research projects. The results of these investigations are made available in published form in the Law Series of the University of Missouri Bulletin, a quarterly. Some members of the faculty also engage in conducting investigation of various legal topics for the Missouri Bulletin, a quarterly. J. L. Parks.

M fc fS i f I I Dean Meckel Between Classes on Francis Quad. DEAN OF MEN THE Dean of Men is the official advisor of the men students. Every September several thousand young people arrive on our campus. Their coming creates real problems, not only for themselves but for the persons who are to be their teachers and advisors. Only a small percentage of the individuals who enter will be successful in completing the work required for graduation, and for this reason someone needs to be responsible for seeing to it that no student shall go out from his college a failure until everything possible has been done to make him a success. Of course, the student will have to solve for himself the scholastic, social, and moral problems of a university community, problems that grow more and more complex as the size of the university increases. But in making the necessary adjustments to the new relationships, to a new freedom, to new and larger responsibilities, few students are so self-reliant as to feel no need of help and advice from persons more mature than themselves in age and experience. The office of the Dean of Men provides opportunities for personal conference and consultation. The Dean has general supervision of student activities and student conduct. At all times he purposes to deal with each student not only as a member of a very important organization, but also — and perhaps, chiefly — as an individual of vital interest and importance in himself. The Dean of Men seeks to enlist the students in an intelligent furthering of their own interests and the interests of the University and community. Dean Albert K. Heckel. James Wilson .
