obtaining antomical material and must buy whenever it is
available. I am glad to report that the supply for last session
was quite sufficient, and with the bodies on hand we anticipate
no difficulty in this direction for next year. In considering the
question of revenue from the Department, we meet with a condition,
viz: The inseparable connection of the Medical Department and
College which makes exact figures impossible. To correctly judge
of this matter we do better to consider the several advantages
of the department to the College.
First, in it's extended scientific course, laying the
foundation for future professional work, it gives the College
a distinct advantage over Colleges not so equipped.
Second, the professional services of its professors aside
from the teaching, amounts to about $1500** per year for the
college. This arrangement is ideal for students who feel free
to consult the physicians in minor troubles, and in the
incipiency of diseases, and in this way grave consequences are
often avoided. Again it insures every student against heavy
medical fees.
Third, a number of men are now in college with the
intention of taking medicine later and but for this combined
course with it's economy of time and money might be elsewhere.
Fourth, the tuition of students engaged in te study of
medical branches alone is that much cash for the College.
The number of Medical students last session was seventeen.
Now a few words as to the outlook. The future of the department
is very bright. There are college to day thirty six men
taking medicine or B. S. work. At least 90% of the B. S. men will
take medicine. Add to these some A. B. Men who will take medicine
next year and those entering colleges next year to go at once into
next year and those entering college next year to go at once into
Medicine, and I think we may safely estimate our next year's
class double that of any previous year. This certain increase in
students, considered with the great improvement in laboratory
facilities, stimulates high hopes for a useful and prosperous
future.

The report of the Dean of the School of Law follows:
"To the President of Wake Forest College:
Dear sir:-
It is gratifying to me to report the
Law School in the most prosperous condition it has ever been.
The total enrollment for the year is 87, of these 25 were in the
Summer School. We have as large enrollment as this before,
but the average attendance has been greater then eve' before.
The work done has been very fine. At the August Examination
sixteen applied for license, all passed but one; at the February
Examination, ten applied and all passed. In addition to these,
one of our men has been licensed in Florida and one in New York.
By reference to the catalogue it will appear that the course
has been made longer and more thorough work planned. This
necessitates more teaching force.
Respectfully,
N. Y. GULLEY, Prof of Law."
Some changes of importance in the courses leading to
graduation have been made by the Faculty. The work in the Bachelor
of Laws course has been extended to cover three years instead of
two as heretofore, and the Master of Arts requirements now include
three advanced subjects instead of two as heretofore, and a
minimum grade of 90. The total number of required hours for the
Bachelor of Arts course has been reduced from 65 to 62 and the
conditions of entrance have been improved.
The number of students enrolled is 345. This number is
