Among the high spots OF the re-
port are these:
In the University the people of
Michigan have a property worth
S9S7,S2772 more than on June l,
1912. The chief increase in volue IS
due to the addition OF the public
health building and new equipment.
The block system OF teaching ad.
vanced work has been largely
adopted by the Medical School.
This consists OF small groups of
students, both watching and help
ing to care for patients.
A somewhat similar change Is
forecast by the report for the teach
Ing OF languages after the war
Services to the state, as a whole,
have been expanded where the war
effort has not prevented such ey-
pansion. Examples include the libr-
AIRY loan service, the film rental
library which now has 1,412 pic
lures including many new war
ones; and the Extension Service
which last year had the largest en-.
rollment since its history.
The University has developed
correspondent courses for the
Armed Forces Institute and these,
after the wGI. can be easily con.
verted to civilian use.
Much Of the University work
and activities. such as research,
the report points out. can not be
told until after the war is ended.
