SCHOOL OF LHW The School of Law in Iune, l934, will have been in existence for ten years. Its enrollment in that time has increased from seventeen students to over one hundred and ten. Such an enrollment demonstrates that there was a need in Arkansas for a University law school of the type which met the standards ot legal education laid down by the American Bar Association and the Association of American Law Schools. ' Despite the marked decrease in the income of the University, it is hoped that the requirements set by the standardizing agencies for legal education can be met in the future by the Law School of the University of Arkansas. , When the Class of l934 is graduated, ninety young men Will have received the degree of Bachelor of Laws. Of these at least seventy-tive remained in Arkansas. Since the creation of the School of Law in l924, the honor system has been in effect to some extent. But in the tall of 1933 the law students organized an honor council, composed entirely of students. For the first time they became the active force in the operation of that system, which has Worked so well in many southern institutions. Of all the advances which the School of Law has made in the past ten years, this achievement is by far the most noteworthy. Dean I. S. Waterman. -3-

COLLEGE ENGINEERING W An engineer, in utilizing the forces of nature and directing men, may find his field of usefulness in serving society as a professional engineer. As such, he may teach, engage in research, or advise others. Such men should have mastered the physical sciences and mathematics, have a good Working knowledge of English and economics, and be proficient in one or more branches of engineering. The man with aptitude for engineering, but having a lesser knowledge of the fundamentals, may find useful employment in production, installation and opera- tion of machinery, estimation or appraisal of utilities, or buying and selling. The training one receives in an engineering college fits him for service in a number of fields but, should he find himself in some other vocation, the training he has received will be of great benefit to him in any line of endeavor in which accurate calcula- tions and correct reasoning are required. Our College of Engineering is Well equipped for training men in the funda- mentals. , Our faculty is small in number but every man has been chosen because of his ability and high standing in the field that he represents. Our laboratories, supplied With a 'limited number of the best available instruments and machines, offer excellent opportunities for the graduate student, as Well as the undergraduate. Dean W. N. Gladson. -7-

COLLEGE ' I --. EDUCHTION The major function of the College of Education With reference to teacher train- ing is two-fold, guidance and preparation. ln the preparation of teachers the College depends largely on the subject-matter departments of the other divisions of the University, articulating the Work of these departments for the needs of the prospective teachers and supplementing their efforts with appropriate courses of a professional nature. ln performing the guidance function the College attempts to represent the interests of the prospective teachers in all colleges of the University. While other divisions enroll students who expect to teach, the College of Education is vested with the responsibility for leadership in the University's training program, al responsibility which involves the continuous study of problems of placement and of improved articulation between college preparation and Work in the field.
