High Standing Marks School Of Medicine
By Maurice Jackson, c'41
In the act of the legislature establishing the University in 1862, the founding of the School of Medicine was contemplated, but conditions were such that it was impossible to create the school immediately.
The School of Medicine was first organized in 1899. Several years preceding that date the University had a one-year preparatory course of instruction in the medical sciences. The first step toward expansion was taken with the establishment in 1899 of the first two years of the four-year degree in medicine in the United States in much the same way as the M.D. degree. The bachelor of science in medicine degree was the degree offered by the School.
The scholastic standards of the new school were very high, and the faculty contained such well known men as Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, for whom Bailey Chemical laboratories vereed named, Prof. Oln Templin Prof. H. P. Cady, Prof. L. D. Havenhill, present dean of the School of Pharmacy, and Dr. James Naismith The completion of Dyche museum in 1902 relieved old Snow hall of room for more medical laboratories In 1903 Dr. Clarence E. McClung associate professor of zoology at the University, became dean of the Medical School.
Set Four-Year Course
The first dean of the school was Samuel W. Williston, professor of anatomy. The building which now contains the department of journalism was the location of the school's laboratories. The journalism building was originally the chemistry building.
In 1905 the Board of Regents extended the medical course to a full four-year course. The first one and one-half years of the course were kept at Lawrence while the last two and one-half years, which dealt with the practical application of the principles of medicine and surgery were removed to Rosedale. This extension of the course allowed the school to offer the degree of Doctor of Medicine.
Bell Gifts Help
To bring about the extension of the curriculum in the School, the Kansas City Medical College, the Medico-chirurgical College of Kansas City, Kan., and the College of Physicians of Kansas City, Kan. were merged into the University.
Dean Harry Wahl
The enrollment was increased from 30 students to 162.
A gift to the University of some tracts of land in and about Kansas City, Kan., by Dr. Simeon B. Bell in memory of his wife, Eleanor T. Bell, provided a site for the Kansas City division of the Division of Medicine. New buildings donated by Doctor Bell and erected on this land in Kansas City were occupied by the School of Medicine in 1907. Previous to this the school occupied the buildings of the schools merged into the University. The University was given access to the school's hospitals. The City hospitals for practical training.
Wahl Becomes Dean
In 1906 a Nurses' Training School was established in conjunction with the School of Medicine.
The Kansas Medical College, Topka was merged with the School of Medicine in 1913 which added to its facilities. Following the erection of a state hospital a dispensary also built at Kusau City in 1915.
rme two departments of the School of Medicine, scientific and clerical, were abolished in 1919 and Dr. Samuel J. Crumbine was appointed dean of the school. After 1919 a fifth internee year was required to get the degree.

School of Business Shows A Phenomenal Growth
By Geo. R. Sitterley, c'41
The story of the University School of Business has been one of phenomenal increases in enrollment, great improvement in the methods of teaching and in the results obtained.
The school is one of the most recent additions to the University, having been instituted in 1924. Frank T. Stockton has been dean of the school since its beginning and is justly proud of the advancement which has been made in practical business training in the University.
In the fall semester of 1924 there were only 51 students enrolled in the school. Two years later the number of students had increased to 119, and last year in 1938 there were 348 men and women majoring in business. Such a large increase in enrollment has kept the school in **commercial** in attempting to provide teaching facilities and classrooms.
Ask for Building
In the spring of 1938 the honorary business fraternity, Delta Sigma Pi drafted a petition asking that a building be erected for the School of Business to give it more classroom space, aid in bettering the already high recognition given the school, and facilitate additional courses with which to round out the training offered. The organization fifth to third in size in the University indicates a need for such a building, according to the petition.
early in its history the school in situated a placement bureau to assist graduates in obtaining positions. From the very first the bureau has maintained a high average. In its infancy it could have furnished jobs for three times its graduates and even during the depression over 80 per cent of the graduates accepted positions with business firms. Such
Crumblem, Dr. Melvin T. Sudler be came dean, Through joint contributions from alumn and friends to the School of Medicine and appropriations by the city of Kansas City, Kan, and the state, a new site of more than 15 acres was obtained the same year. In 1921 the legislature appropriated $435,000 for the first unit of a new hospital and medical plant on the new site. This building was completed in 1924 and was occupied in the summer of the same year. Dr. Harry Wahl (now dean of the School) succeeded Doctor Sudler in 1924.
a record has contributed much to the rapid rise in the number of enrolments and is evidence of the high standard of training which the school is giving its students. Rigid Requirements
Fifteen years ago, the classes of the school varied from 25 to 30, and now the classes are limited to 7 men. The out-patient department in spite of its being housed in the old barracks building, has increase its number of visits from 15,000 t more than 77,000. The hospital during the last year had more than 6,000 patients, a large percentage of whom were free. The total capacity of the hospital at one time is 32 Some 35 per cent are sent in b counties in the state.
During this time no less than three denominations tried to start a college in the pioneer free-state town of Lawrence, but hard times, drought, and the disruption of the Civil war prevented.
Since 1934 seven new buildings have been added to the Kansas City division of the School of Medicine of the University. These include a warehouse, costing $18,000; the Hixon laboratories for Medical Research, costing $140,000; a children's pavilion, costing $20,000; a building for the university's building, costing $135,000; the connecting corridor, including new X-ray quaters, costing $100,000; and the Negro ward, costing $136,000.
In 1927 the legislature appropriated $300,000 for two additional units, comprising a nurses' home at a cost of $100,000 and a ward building at a cost of $200,000. The former was completed and occupied by nurses who would complete in the same year and open to patients in 1929.
Lawrence had failed only because funds depleted by drought, hard times, and border ruffians had been 'inadequate'.

graduation have become increasingly rigid so as to insure the maintenance of the standards which has been set up. Under the present requirements students in the School of Business must have a "C" average to graduate, and must complete 124 hours in the University, not more than 70 of which can be taken in the courses offered by the school itself. This requirement insures a well-rounded education, at the same time permitting complete training in business.
As early as 1858, according to the late Dr. Frank W. Blackmar, professor of sociology, the Presbyterian church of America had planned a college at Lawrence and in 1859 obtained a charter from the territorial legislature for "Lawrence College." Trustees and faculty were chosen, and, in fact, some instruction was given in the basement of

the Unitarian church, then on Ohio street just north of Nenth. Plans were made for a building, 36 by 60 feet, and ultimately to cost $50,000, and work was started on the foundations.
The struggle to raise the $15,000 endowment and obtain a suitable site of ground is related in detail by the work of the biography of Gov. Charles Robinson.

In 1903 it was completed and all specimens from Snow hall were moved in. Most of the space in the room was occupied by rows of green metal cases, in appearance much like filing cabinets in a large office which is sometimes accompanied by small objects. Each case contained several glass covered trays, and were light proof to prevent fading of the insects.

Aviation has claimed the attention of Howard Firebaugh, 24, and Claire L. Wood, 32. Firebaugh, who has been flying since 1927, is stationed at the Municipal airport in Oakland, Calif. Before that he was employed at Pomulus, Mia, where he worked for the civil service to establish and plan airports within the state.
Seven of the honor nen are now in the eastern part of the country. Harold Denton, 35, of Jewell, is employed as an economic analyst in the wage section of the department of Labor at Washington, D.C. His work involves the collection and interpretation of data to aid in the establishing of minimum wages for various industries.

Along with Snow a second man contributed more to Dyche museum perhaps than any other one man. This man was Prof. L. L. Dyche, of the department of entomology. Dyche was a Kansas boy, a Univer-
city man and a world famed explorer. He spent his childhood on the banks of the Wakarause near Lawrence where he showed skill in dressing the skins of animals. He entered the University at the age of 21 and at once became interested in zoology and taxidermy.
Dr. F. H. Snow, chancellor at the time, took him as a protege and assured his future success. After his graduation in 1884 he began his career as a hunter. In 21 expeditions in which he took part he secured for the museum 39 antelopes, 50 deer and 40 horse sheep, 15 Rocky Mountain goats, 19 elks, 40 mooses, 60 deer, 10 timber wolves, 24 coyotes, 25 foxes, 10 lynxes, seven caribou, and five Greenland reindeer.

Various specimens of animal life during the Lower Devonian period. Upper Devonian period, Permian period, Eocene period, Oligocene period, and Pleistocene period all found in this marvelous collection.
Dyche museum which is considered to be the best in the Middle West, is a fitting memorial of the work of Professor Dyche.
Elderly folks seeking only security and an assured income in their declining years . . . middle aged people accumulating a reserve for the future . . . newlyweds with a nest egg to protect . . . youngsters saving for the future . . . they all place their trust in Lawrence banks. In many cases their selection of our bank is traditional—based on the advice of parents whom we have served honorably and efficiently. Lawrence banks are five generation institutions.
Trusts and Savings Bonds and Investments Loans and Mortgages
The Seventy-Fifth Anniversary of the founding of the University of Kansas is an accomplishment of which all Lawrence is proud.
Building a better community, whether accomplished through the growth of the University, business improvements, industrial expansion, or individual effort, requires financing before it can take concrete form. Providing the necessary capital is a bank's business.
The officers of the Lawrence National Bank, First National Bank and the Peoples State Bank recognize that the progress and growth of our city is dependent upon the growth of the University of Kansas and the prosperity of the community. We join with hearty congratulations to the University for its progress over the last seventy-five years.
