Drtax Ar rover bl. Hartwn Prior to 191111, preparation for the bar through ap- prenticeship in a lawyer's office was common. ln that year the Association of American Law Schools was formed. The Illinois Law School was represented and became a charter member. ln 1921, the American Bar Association adopted standards bearing on legal education and expressed the opinion that every candidate for the bar should present evidence of graduation from a law school complying with those standards. Two years later, the Council on Legal Education of that Association, acting as a standardizing agency, approved a small num- ber of law schools, including Illinois in the first group. In training students for the practice of law, the Col- lege of Law attempts to impress upon the student the purpose of law in the social order and the necessity of its growth as conditions change.

'lihe instructional methods used by members of the faculty are designed to teach the student to think clearly and to the point. 'lihroughout its program, the College aims to promote legal scholarship and research, to develop an appreciation of the highest ideals of the profession, and to inspire the consciousness of the re- sponsibility of the lawyer to society in improving the administration of law and in furthering its wise de- velopment. A student wishing to enter the College of Law must be a graduate of a college or university of approved standing. However, a student of senior standing is per- mitted to elect courses in law for the degree of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science, provided he has an aver- age of C in his undergraduate work.

The chair expanded in IQIIII into the Ilepartment of Education, which, in turn, hecame the School of Education in l9lI7, and at length, in 1918, received its present title, the College of Educa- tion. .-Xt the same time, the Bureau of Educational Re- search was estahlished for the specific purpose of con- ducting research investigations in the field of education. From its heginning the ma-ior ohligation of the Col- lege has heen the training of high school teachers, princi- pals, supervisors, and superintendents.

These facts account, in a large part, for the rapid growth of the College of Education. However, a large pro- portion of recent graduates of the College have entered into teaching ol education in other colleffes and uni- C D X versities. V The main curriculum of the College is, of course, general education. ln addition, there are special curri- cula ofjfered in agricultural education, industrial educa- tion, and home economics education. The laboratory work of the college centers around the work of the University High School, with its limited enrollment of two hundred Fifty students. The courses in educational practice are conducted hy the instructors of the high school, in connection with the teaching of the customary curricula.

Consequently, courses in drawing and architecture were offered early in the history of the institution. lVlusic also appeared early, and by 1897 it had been organized as a separate school. Landscape Architecture was first offered in the College of Agriculture. Thus, the Fine .-Xrts teaching facilities of the University developed scattered among four separate administrative divisions of the University. Although for a number of years it was felt that the Fine Arts interests on the campus should be brought into closer relationship, it was not possible to do so until 1927, when the Building for Architecture and Kind- red Snbjects was completed.

All three were combined with the School of Music, and in 1931 the College of Fine and Ap- plied Arts was established. This unifying of interests made possible a better development of professional en- deavor and artistic appreciation. The College enrolls annually in excess of five hun- dred professional students in nine curricula. Each curri- culum is so framed that each student obtains as wide training in liberal studies as possible, yet laying firm foundations in his particular art. In addition, almost an equal number of students from other colleges in the Uni- versity annually avail themselves of the cultural ad- vantages Which the College affords. The courses in his- tory and appreciation of art, architecture, landscape architecture, and music are particularly popular with the non-professional students. . .ft-af r r l l l -gg , lk gr REX!-'ORD Nrweoniiz, Dean nf the College of Fine and Applied Arts, is the tirst head nf this college which uns organized ir: 1931.
