The total enrollment in the Pre Modical division of the < of Liberal Arts and Sciences has mow peached approximately 225, 'This represents an increase oi ut eight percent over last semester, which has been the usual rate of growth for the last few years. This Rpea) well for the various schools in which the stulent carries out his studies. In fact our pre-medical work here has attained a national reputation which i- iuite enviable. The course offered in chemist ry, gy, and physics, in which pre-medics spend their ime. rank in standards with any in the country. It is r this reason that our numbers have increased very rapidly. Many of the students taking the courses preparatory 'dicine spend four years here, before entering the Medical college, in order to obtain a degree of Bach' Lor of Science or Bachelor of Arts. Thus, their work s not narrowed down to the straight scientific cours as is the course of the student taking only two years preparatory work. In fact there are some -Medical 5 hools that require a Bachelor's degree for entrance— for example, Johns Hopkins University. In time posibly all of the better schools will follow this example and all ocurses in medicine will be eight years in length. The application of chemistry has become one of viral importan . Many schools have already realized this and for this reason have set four years as the .inimum time to be spent in preparation for the study f n ne. To illustrate this, the entrance require ments to Johns Hopkins Medical University follow: T BIOLOGY—1- ure course 3 hours per week plus 180 hours of laboratory work. PHYSICS—120 hours of class work plus 90 hours of Lai ry work. FRENCH AND GERMAN—A reading knowledge is required which pr< up] t wo years I I work and one at college. I [IEMISTRY 240 houi of class room and 10 hour of laboratory work. The former must inchu hours of organic and a short cour in chemistry while the latter 1 J ) horn in *< and a year's quantitve anal; These hours repri ml actual time nl in It is quite evident thai chemistry takes up much < the prep-student's time if he desires to wor above-mentioned requirements. The pre-medical students are not organ! 1 ; hole although convocations are held aboul ir weeks. At these meetin usually some man who quite prominent in medical work deliver hort addr 3 after which open discussion tai place. Tl first of these addresses for this year was given by 1» Spence from Barrow, Alaska, on Monday, Octol r 2. He informed us of some if the problen tl doctor in Alaska.
