The future lawyers of Louisiana face problems in Moot Court which they are likely to meet in their anticipated fields. No law student will deny that he spends most of his working hours studying for the degree which will enable him to practice law. SCHOOL OF LAW Looking from the Campanile across the parade ground, one envisions the hive for many young men who are pre- paring themselves for the practice of law in Louisiana where the civil law legal system prevails. From dawn to dusk, the law library to an exam, the Law dorms to the Lawyers Ball, each student equips himself with a knowledge of the prin- ciples of law which he will apply to the society in which he lives. These aspiring young lawyers spend several years working and learning before legal responsibility is thrust upon them. After a day of torts, contracts, and government, the Law student leaves his home away from home thinking about the long hours of studying to come.

Graduate nursing stu- dents learn Red Cross teaching methods in home nursing. Caring for a patient in a respirator is demonstrated by a few of the graduate nursing students. The members of the Louisiana State University Nursing Associa- tion are gathered with Sister Henriette to discuss plans for their next meeting. DEPARTMENT OF NURSING Since 1931, the Department of Nursing, in New Orleans, has been an active section of the School of Medicine. At- tending lectures, assisting in the hospital, reading to the patients, and the attaining of patience itself all lead to one outcome positions in professional nursing in hospitals, public health agencies, or other organized nursing services. The student nurse finds a curriculum designed to equip her with a thorough knowledge of the fundamental human re- lationships as well as a broad understanding of their appli- cation in our society.

Surrounded by books containing great knowledge, the graduate student burns the midnight oil hoping to transfer some of this learning from the books to his mind. To all graduate students, the most familiar s etting is that of rows and rows of books in the graduate school library from which material for a final thesis is gathered. GRADUATE SCHOOL Listening to the professor in seminar classes, pouring earnestly through old books, working constantly on the final thesis, and studying into the wee hours of the morning con- stitute a normal day of the graduate student who is in con- stant search of the answer to questions. Several semesters and many books later, with a finished thesis, a B average, and his armor of knowledge, the graduate student enters the competitive world of today to take his place in society and business. Extractions in the Bio-chemistry Laboratory are demonstrated by a graduate student at the medical school.
