Show THE SCHOOL OF oJMEDICINE CHE UNIVERSITY is no greater than the various Schools of which it is composed and the strength of a school depends not so much upon the enrollment of great numbers of ,.- students as upon the selection of its students, the content of courses offered and the thoroughness and efficiency of presenting the work and enforcing preparation. In fact, it is frequently true that the greatness of a professional school is, more or less, in inverse proportion to the numbers registered and a recognition of this fact has led most of the great Medical Schools of America to put definite limits on number of students permitted to register and to require higher scholastic standards of those who do. The agencies interested in medical education are strongly urging Utah to look forward to a program of development, but it is impossible to predict at this time what the future of the school will be. Our problem is purely economical. Other conditions are favorable for expansion and growth and if the adequate finances can be obtained, the School of Medicine at the University of Utah will soon take its place among similar institutions in America.
