Slaughter has established a reputation among the students for friendli- ness and sympathetic counsel. Easy to meet, he has many student friends although his chief contact with most of them comes only through his duties as chaplain of the university. His pleasant voice and mannerisms symbolize chapel services for Drake's under-graduates. Dean Slaughter's tasks were lightened this year with the com- ing of the Rev. Marvin O. Sansbury, himself a Drake graduate, to assume the pastorship of the University Church of Christ. Before his arrival, Slaughter also had filled that position, vacated by the Rev. Edwin Becker. The college of the Bible is as old as Drake itself for it was established at the opening of the university in 1881, being known then as the Bible department. Dean Slaughter is the seventh dean to head the activities of the Bible college. Seth W Slaughter M.,,V,n o, Sa 1135 Ury

S gore W ues? Xavrtfelm be Ylgabflizmcoxd W Chapel' 01119 THE LAW SCHOOL NE ra es colleges is the law school for when not feuding with the commerce students over the possession of Cole hall, the men of the law school can be counted upon to stir up some excitement among themselves, Although the faculty outlawed the traditional lawyer-preacher battle, the law school held a conspicuous spot for homecoming week activities. With bow ties, derby hats and canes, they invaded an already riotous chapel to create bedlam by releasing a couple of white mice in the midst of some lusty-lunged young women. Green Bag day, March 15, saw the law students on the loose again as they, sporting their traditional garb, fortified themselves for their holiday. Between festive occasions they satis- fied themselves with jostling around on the steps of Cole hall, puffing interminable smoke clouds, putting up a perpetual snowball barrage and ogling the women students hurrying by. More than one young woman has taken a back path rather than face the knowing looks and muttered snorts of the irrepressible lawyers-to-be. Originating with the organization of the Iowa College of Law in 1875 the law school became a part of Drake upon the founding of the university in 1881. 1t was known then as the college of law, having previously functioned both as an independent institution and as an affiliate of Simpson college. The official name of the college was changed in 1924 to the law school. of the most colorful of D k ' ts xuden - A nce. law S home ' e XQYXQ -n evl Ver a uch 1 Y 0 Oute- .H veYY may waste grade I Su Yxedl Qneconfmg 9 chi .
