or as private practitioners in such areas as the States of Florida, Georgia, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, the District of Columbia, and in Cuba, Russia, and Santo Domingo.

6. Teaching staff.-The faculty of the school of engineering and architecture for the school year 1934-35 included eight full-time members. One member of the faculty remained on leave, serving as architect to the Subsistence Homesteads Division of the Public Works Administration.

SCHOOL OF MUSIC

1. Enrollment. The enrollment of the school of music again showed an increase in 1934-35 in a general trend of increased music enrollment over a period of 6 years. There was an average enrollment during the current year of 178 as compared with 140 during the year 1933-34, with 46 new matriculants in the first semester and 15 in the second.

2. Scholarship and student aid.-Sixteen students received scholarship aid during the year from 4 sources: Special university scholarships of $150, 7; gift scholarships from the school of music, 5; and work scholarships through the university and the Federal Emergency Relief Administration, 3. These scholarships are responsible, in a very large part, for the increased enrollment of the school.

3. Courses and faculty.-Courses were offered in piano by 2 teachers, in organ by 1 teacher, in voice by 3 teachers, in violin, orchestration, string, and percussion instruments, by 1 teacher; in publicschool methods, by 1 teacher; in theory and appreciation of music, by 2 teachers; and in the junior piano department, by 3 teachers. The total faculty of 11 included 1 professor, 2 assistant professors, 6 instructors, and 2 assistants. One member of the faculty was away on sabbatical leave for further study in Vienna, Austria. Three members of the faculty appeared in recitals in 11 States and the District of Columbia.

One member of the faculty has been chosen by the Theatre Guild of New York to create the leading role in George Gershwin's opera production, "Porgy and Bess."

4. Musical organizations.-Three of the musical organizations functioned during the year-the university choir, the university glee club for men, and the university glee club for women. The university choir was the largest and best organization in the history of the institution. Together with the many fine voices, the new pipe organ added much to the quality, depth, and richness of tone.

6. University concert series.-On the concert series program, under the auspices of the school of music, there appeared 1 organist, 1 singer, 2 pianists, 1 violinist, 2 glee clubs, and the National Symphony Orchestra of Washington. Each recital was not only well attended

by interested and sympathetic music lovers, but also the financial returns were most encouraging for the continuance of the series.

7. National Music Week.-For the first time the school of music observed in a formal manner National Music Week, at which time 5 concerts served as a source of inspiration, education, and enjoyment to those who were present.

8. Graduates.-Five degrees were conferred at commencement. Two degrees of bachelor of music were conferred upon students with majors in piano, and 3 degrees of bachelor of school music upon students specializing in public-school music.

MILITARY SCIENCE AND TACTICS

1. Excellent rating for the second successive year.-The Howard University R. O. T. C. bears the rating of "Excellent" for the years 1933-34 and 1934-35. This rating, which is the highest of the War Department, was given as the result of the formal inspection during the spring of 1934 by Maj. T. M. Chambliss, Inspector for the Third Corps Area, and again in the spring of 1935 by Maj. E. W. Leard, Inspector for the Third Corps Area. In making their reports to the War Department these inspecting officers especially commended the efficiency of the instruction given by the military staff, the ability, neatness, and discipline revealed by the student cadets, the large improvement in the physical facilities of the R. O. T. C. rooms in Spaulding Hall, and the cooperation received from the officials of the University.

2. Enrollment.-The enrollment in military science and tactics during the year 1934-35 was 268, as compared with an average of 256 during the preceding year. Two hundred and twelve of the students were enrolled in the basic course and 56 in the advanced course.

3. Commissions awarded.-Twenty-eight students were awarded commissions as second lieutenants of infantry, in the Reserve Corps of the United States Army.

4. Teaching staff.—The teaching staff included 5 members, as follows: professor, 1; assistant professor, 1; assistants, 3.

SCHOOL OF MEDICINE

The school of medicine is the functional organization which represents the cooperative interests of the entire medical unit of the university without superseding the direct lines of authority from the independent faculties of its member units to the board of trustees. Freedmen's Hospital, an independent institution built upon grounds owned by the university, is functionally a part of the university medical unit.

COLLEGE OF MEDICINE

1. Survey of the college. The survey of the school as part of the nation-wide survey of medical schools in the United States and Canada by the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals of the American Medical Association, in cooperation with the Association of American Medical Colleges and the Federation of State Boards, was the outstanding event of the year. Although no report will be available until the general survey has been completed, the study of this school revealed that our major problems are:

(1) Provision of a greater number of well-trained clinical teachers, the major portion if not all of whose time can be controlled by the university for clinical service and clinical teaching; (2) a greater quantity and variety of clinical material under adequate control for teaching purposes; and (3) facilities for the study of tuberculosis and acute contagious diseases.

2. Students. Of a total of 211 applicants for admission, 119 satisfied the minimum requirements for admission. Forty new students were admitted. The highest number registered at any one time during the year was 167.

3. Instruction.-During the year instruction has been furnished to 248 students; 167 from the college of medicine, 35 from the college of dentistry, 14 from the college of pharmacy, 1 from the college of liberal arts, and 31 nurses from the Freedmen's Hospital. Instruction included for the first time a course in anatomy for art students, a course in public health for college students, and a course in physiology for home-economics students.

4. Scholarship and student aid. In accordance with the scholarship-aid plan, 7 full-tuition scholarships and 13 half-tuition scholarships were awarded to medical students. Twenty-four other needy students were aided by the Federal Emergency Relief Administration.

5. Graduates.-Fifty-five graduated with the degree Doctor of Medicine. Fifty of these accepted internships in 12 approved hospitals.

6. Faculty. Two full-time new appointments to assistant professorships were made of former General Education Board Fellows, 1 in anatomy and 1 in public health. Two General Education Board Fellows, one in physiology and the other in pathology, have been reappointed for a second year of graduate study at the University of Chicago and Western Reserve, respectively. Of the faculty of 98, 20 were full-time teachers as compared with the faculty of 62, with 3 full-time teachers in 1929-30. One member studied dermatology and syphilology in Europe during the year under a grant from the Oberlaender Trust of Philadelphia. Another has been

granted leave of absence for a year's residency in tuberculosis. Five are at special study during the summer. There have been 23 scientific publications by members of the faculty during the year 1934–35. Five other publications are in the press.

The college of medicine was represented on the program of the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology in Detroit in April by the head of the department of physiology, the head of the department of pharmacology, and the acting head of the department of biochemistry. The college was represented on the program of the American Association of Anatomists by the associate professor of anatomy.

7. Departmental, interschool, hospital, and community relations.— The dean of the college of dentistry gave a series of five lectures to medical students on diseases of the mouth. Dr. Wm. A. Warfield, surgeon-in-chief of Freedmen's Hospital, has made available four rooms in the hospital, three to be used as offices for the heads of the clinical departments and one to be used by the clerk for these departments.

The newly appointed health officer of the District of Columbia made available to the school the facilities of the Municipal Tuberculosis Hospital, the City Prenatal Clinic, and the City Infant Welfare Station located at Freedmen's Hospital.

Following approval of the Freedmen's Hospital by the Council on Medical Education and Hospitals of the American Medical Association for residencies in medicine, pediatrics, surgery, obstetrics, and gynecology, two residents were appointed to begin service October first, 1 in pediatrics, and 1 in obstetrics-gynecology. This marks the beginning of a much-needed improvement in the hospital service and should reflect favorably upon the clinical teaching. Howard University has provided an annual stipend of $500 for each of the two residents appointed. This is a very important accomplish

ment.

COLLEGE OF DENTISTRY

1. General trends.-Though the college of dentistry is stressing, through an enrollment campaign, the acquisition of numbers, major emphasis is being placed upon the quality of students it attracts. The high caliber of recent graduates is a fair testimonial of our rigid adherence to entrance and curricular requirements. A check-up on the performance of our recent graduates before State boards reveals a decided increase in the percentage of successful candidates. 2. Enrollment. The school year opened with a registration of 4 seniors, 5 juniors, 13 sophomores, 13 freshmen, and 9 students in the new department of oral hygiene. With an alleviation of financial handicaps, through university aids and general economic better

ment, our incoming classes will eventually make up the enrollment deficiency which we now suffer.

3. Graduates. Three graduating students were awarded the degree of doctor of dental surgery at the June commencement. Eight students were awarded certificates in oral hygiene.

4. Oral hygiene.—The department of oral hygiene rounded out its first year of operation with a commendable record of success. As an indication of the splendid work done by them as students, 6 of the 8 graduates took the examination for licensure in the District of Columbia and all were successful.

5. Faculty.-There were 13 active members of the faculty during the year, distributed as follows: Two associate professors, one assistant professor, and 10 instructors.

The following promotions and appointments were made this year: One member of the faculty was promoted from instructor to the rank of assistant professor of dentistry; one to the rank of assistant in the department of oral hygiene; one additional instructor was employed on half-time for the months of May and June; and one was granted leave of absence for the year 1934-35. Four members of this faculty published five scholarly articles during the year. The dean has inaugurated a program for further specialized study on the part of teachers.

6. Library. In order to render more effective library service, the college of dentistry transferred its books and periodicals to the medical school library, where it will share in the facilities of this well-organized department.

THE COLLEGE OF PHARMACY

1. Organization and curriculum.-Since 1932 the College of Pharmacy has given instruction in the following departments: Pharmacy, pharmacology, pharmacognosy, physiology, bacteriology, preventive medicine, and public health, with instruction in English, modern and romance languages, mathematics, chemistry, physics, economics offered in the college of arts and sciences of the university. The curriculum for the college of pharmacy for the 4-year course leading to the degree of S. B. in pharmacy has been adjusted to conform to requirements of the National Association of Colleges of Pharmacy.

2. Registration.-Twenty-four students registered in the college of pharmacy; 8 in the freshman class, 8 in the sophomore class, and 3 in the junior class. This enrollment shows an increase of two students over last year.

3. Scholarship and student aid.-During the year 1934-35, two work scholarships were awarded in the first semester and three in the
