I C A C ' A unuutlll Hlstorieal HE first school of what IS now Emory University was founded in 1836. This was Emory College, Old Emory, at Oxford, Geor- gia, which in 1914 became the School of Liberal Arts of Emory University. The first class was graduated in 1841, and the institution continued as a small college until it was incorporated in the university to which it gave its name. The beautiful old Oxford campus was given over to the use of the Emory University Academy. ' In 1854 the Atlanta Medical College was founded by 'physicians and other citizens of Atlanta. The college was successful from its beginning, and numbers among its graduates prominent and successful physicians and surgeons throughout the South. With this- school was merged the South- ern Medical College, in 1898,-the new institution taking the name, Atlanta College of Physicians and Surgeons., In 1913 this school combined its resources with those of the Atlanta School of Medicine under the old name, Atlanta Medical College. A year later it became the School of Medicine of Emory University and entered into a new period of increased resources and usefulness. With the founding of the University in 1914, the Candler School of Theology was organized. It is the only divinity school within the bounds of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, east of the Mississippi River, and from the very first has been one of the pre-eminent schools of this kind in the country. 1 At varioustimes in the history of Old Emory a law department had been maintained and in 1916 a school of law was organized and endowed. This is the Lamar School of Law, named for one of Emory's most illus- trious sons, and already one of the strongest law schools in the South. In 1919 the trustees of the University, realizing a need of other courses of instruction and the better organization of existing courses, established the Graduate School and the School of Business Administration.

Situated on a new and beautiful campus, with more than a national patronage, and enjoying the generosity of her loyal sons and other benefactors the New Emory bids fair to become the University of the Southland for who of the founders of Old Emory ever dreamed that today she would dwell Within marble halls?
