Lf 5 S t l' L' F t L r a r 3 L ul' S 'r , age Twentv sux The School of Medicine HE medical students of Washington University are rightly l proud of their school, as it is without a doubt one of the best medical schools in the United States. Every medical student is a picked scholar, and because of this everyone does his best to uphold the trust and confidence that the school has placed in him. Only one applicant out of five is allowed to enter the school. Before entering the school the student must have three years of prefmedical training in the Collegeg he then must take four years of medicine before obtaining his degree. At present Washington has enrolled in this school students from twenty different colleges and from four foreign countries. In addition to the wonderful facilities of the school itself, the students receive practical work in medicine and surgery through the cooperation of Barnes Hospital, St. Louis Children's Hospital and the Maternity Hospital with the medical school. The accessif bility of these hospitals is invaluable to the students and makes the school stand out as one of the best equipped in this country. MCKIM MARRIOTT - Dean The course in the Medical School is hard, as it is long and thorough. A student must work steadily and well from his entrance into College to be one of the chosen few allowed to enter the Medical School. Work in the Medical School is harder but vastly more interesting. It takes practically all of the student's time, for he is engaged in the actual experience which is so vital to the education of the doctor. Very few students drop out of the Medical School because the students feel that their ambition is of the highest service to humanity. In the attainment of this knowledge, stimulated by his increased interest, he learns one other important thing. This is, that behind all the development proposed for the future, are leaders who in every respect are worthy of carrying on the work of those who have gone before- leaders who have but one concern at heart-the welfare of the Medical Schoolg leaders who are tireless in the pursuit of their ideals for their college.

x f. , .ax . 31 -1 5 ,-. -4 r l '- u 'I 'C The School of Law w l HE aim of the School of Law is to prepare its students for the successful practice of the law in a society of growing complexity and for leadership in improving the administraf tion of justice. To these ends the School emphasizes the imporf tance of breadth and thoroughness of prelegal training as well as high purpose and serious endeavor in the study of law. In consof nance with this policy the degree of Doctor of Jurisprudence has recently been established. To qualify for this degree the student is required to secure a bachelor's degree from a university or college of recognized standing before beginning the study of law, and in the School of Law to do work broader in scope and higher in quality than that which is required for the degree of Bachelor of Law. Doctors today are men of broad culture and the finest technical education. Engineers and business men are college trained. Such business and professional men are demanding better trained lawyers for their advisers. More thorough training Dam for admission to the legal profession is abundantly worth the extra time and cost. Other methods of securing a law degree are as follows: CD One with two years of college training may enter the School of Law as a candidate for the degree of Bachelor of Laws. C25 One may take the combined sixfyear course in Liberal Arts and Law, or in Business Administration and Law and secure either the A.B. and LL.B. degrees or B.S. and LL.B. degrees. Either one of these sixfyear combinations is recommended as a reasonable alternative for the student who cannot complete four years of work before entering the School of Law. Various organizations are connected with the Law School and are composed of students in the school for their own betterment and assistance. ln addition to the several legal fraternities there is the Law Association, which acts as the governing bodyuof the Law School. The Law Council is composed of three members from each class and the president of the association. This council acts as judge in disputes between students or the students and faculty.
