ORGANIZATION

The immediate direction of the Department of Graduate Studies is vested
in the Dean and an Administrative Committee of eight professors, appointed

by the President. The Faculty of the Graduate Department consists of
those professors in the Academic Schools and the Medical School who offer
graduate courses. Courses marked C are primarily for graduates and advanced
under-graduates; those marked D are for graduates only, and usually
for advanced graduate students, candidates for the Ph.D. degree. In the
Department of Medicine the regular courses are evaluated as C courses;
elective, special and research courses, and seminars as D courses. The prerequisites
for each course are indicated, varying from 6 to 12 session-hours
of college work. The various Schools, or departments, fall into four general
