HOWARD ENLARGES
COURSE IN MEDICINE
Hopes to Advance knowledge
of Physicians Along Lines
of Public Health.

The intensive six-week post gradu-
ate courses in medicine and surgery
of the School of Medicine of Howard
University, which begin June s.
have been increased in scope this
year to permit the practicing physi-
clan to advance his knowledge along
the lines of public health, 1t was an
nounced last night at the university
The extension will give practicing
physicians an opportunity to study
any of the surgical and medical spe-
cialties they most desire, and at the
same time link them up with the
public health principles and their
application to the practice of medi-
cine. The public health service has
pledged its cooperation in the new
feature.
Senator Ferris of Michigan urged
the student body to direct their col
lege training in a definite public
service, at the noon chapel exercises
Monday. His subject was Awaken
ing Young Men and Women to q

The School of Religion of the uni
versity has a movement on foot to
obtain 100000. It's aim is to erect
and equip a modern fireproof building
that Will contain a chapel, lecture
rooms, library, study rooms and the
sufficient endowment that will insure
a faculty who are specialists in their
own departments: to provide for the
extension department; to build three
or even four dwelling houses. The
Washington quota was to have been
$50. 500. That sum has been pledged
and is now being paid; in fact has
been passed: $5o,5s0 Is the amount
which has been the response thus far.
French Studies Arranged.

France during the vacation perio DDS,
