MQRROW returned last fall to his position as head of the college of law, after serving during a fivefyear leave of absence as Chief Justice of the High Court of American Samoa. In the seclusion of the Carnegie law lbrary, Dean Morrow and the potential lawyers who are under his guidance pursue their studies with en' thusiasm, taking time out only for their famed ac- tivities at Homecoming convocation. The dean of the oldest unit of Drake came to the university in 1916 after being graduated as vale' DEAN ARTHUR A., MORROXV dictorian of his class by the University of Michigan. Arthur A. Morrow was professor .of law and later dean of thecollege of commerce and finance before becoming head of the law school. The Drake university law school is a member of the Association of American law schools and meets the standard that is required of all members of the Association. In 1921 the American Bar Association by resoluf tion directed the Council on Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar to determine what law schools in the United States complied with the standards set by that Association. After an ex- tended investigation of the law schools of the country, the Council prepared a list of schools which in its opinion complied with such standards. Schools complying with the standards were put in class NA. Drake university law school was inf cluded in such class. As a result of subsequent ac- tion of the Council, schools complying with the standards are now designated approved instead of class A, Drake university law school is included in the list of approved law schools. The library of the law school, containing more than 20,000 volumes, is located on the second floor of Carnegie Hall. Special care has been exercised to make this a good working library for the student of law. V - P

JORDAN'S unceasing activf ity keeps Howard Hall humming. One of the youngest deans on the campus, Dean Jordan came to Drake from his position as dean of the college of music at Illinois Wesleyan university in February, 1942. His is the task of answering all the problems which confront the one hundred and eighty-two students and twenty faculty members of the art, music, and drama departments. Students who have attended Dean Jordan's re- citals know that he is a fine musician as well as a Hrst-class executive. The college of fine arts endeavors to teach stu' dents the value of line arts in their cultural develop' ment, and stresses the practical side of competent performance in their chosen fields or extrafcurric- ular interests by encouraging the entire student body to participate in its various activities. The University theater affords the student an opportunity for practical experience in the field of play production, and in its aim of meeting the need for cultural and educational development has be' come a center of theatrical entertainment, not only for the campus, but for the entire community, as well. The Drake A Capella choir has become well' known throughout the middlefwest by its extensive tours and the concerts which it has given over na' tional radio networks. Its members include stu' dents from all of the colleges who possess the ref quired qualities of musicianship. It is noteworthy that the concentrated elforts of the college of fine arts on individual achievement has succeeded in placing students in splendid posif tions in all parts of the United States. l DEAN FRANK JORDAN f
