The Business, Medical, and Law Schools, while not increasing in enrollment, are nevertheless enlarging their activities in the general direction of the public. The annual reports issued from the School of Public Health and the Law School have definitely shown this trend. This expansion has meant new and more numerous duties for the President of the University, whose obvious duty it is to supervise actively all the engagements of the "bureaus" under him. Perhaps the actual expansion...
