THE COLLEGE OF LAW THE BARRISTER, while thumb ing ponderous volumes of civil codes or pleading silver tongued before a simulated court, is under the dominance of a goddess. She is blindfolded Justice, who bears aloft the balance which is to weigh that evi- dence bit by bit which shall be added to her delicate scales. The law student jauntily swings a cane if he is a senior, to denote his proximity to entrance into the honored profession which has supplied to pub lie life a large proportion of its nota bles. The College of Law enjoys the dis tinction of being the oldest west of the Mississippi River, having been es tablished at Des Moines in 186 ) and moved to Iowa City in 1868. The course of study covered one year ' s work until 1884. In 1930, it will speci- fy six, three years of general and three of law. Between 1915 and 1930 the requirements for the degree of LL.B. have been two years of college work and three of law. The degree of Juris Doctor is at present conferred on those who have completed a six Ci.iv E. STRAIGHT PERCY BOKDWELL Acting Dean DAN C. DVTCHER year college and law course. An extenisve Law Library covering the top floor of the Law Building is devoted to court reports, statutes, codes, :inil legal periodicals. Practice trials which parallel the procedures of Iowa courts are held as exercises in certain classes. Si nce the death of Dean Henry Craig Jones, A.B., S.J.D., LL.D., on October 25, 1929, Percy Bordwell, B.L., LL.B., LL.M., Ph.D., Professor of Law, has acted in his stead. Perhaps no cither class of stud. ' n ' s on the campus has as much prestige hi the field of politics and student opinion as the laws , who are prom inant in every field of activity. The rigorous courses that make up the i-nrriciiliiiii of the law school are of such a nature that they discipline the student ' s mind to the point where he is able to take part in any discussion with a fervor and finesse that soon puts his opponent on the defensive. The ethics of the prospective lawyers are of such a high character that no one will ever have the audacity to call them ahvsters . JAMES W. XIELD Twenty-four

p. 4, tfctw lint h THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING THE COMPASS and the transit, the arch and the span, the forge and the lathe, the iron girder and the steel bar are symbols of the Col- lege of Engineering. To design, to construct, to achieve, are the engin eer ' s goals. In the five laboratories in Engineering Hall the student mem- orizes and practices the principles of his profession, so that he may devise structures, compile stout masonry, check a torrent, span a desert, or re- pair a dynamo. All courses in Engineering are di vided into Civil, Electrical, Median! cal, Chemical, or Commercial groups. A special division is that of Median ics and Hydraulics. Recently a course in Aeronautics has been added to the Mechanical Engineering courses. The five buildings in which the practical side of Engineering is expe- rienced, are Steam Engineering Lab oratory, Materials Laboratory, Hy draulic. Laboratory, Manufacturers Laboratories and Hydraulic Testing Plant. In the Hall of Engineering, around which in series each class has chiseled its symbolic memorial, lee- CLE.MF.NT C. WILLIAMS I ean tures are attended. The Department of Electrical Engineering has its quarters in the Physics building. Clement Clarence Williams, C.E., Dean of the college, heads a faculty of twenty-two professors, fourteen as- sociate and fourteen assistant profes- sors, six associates, seven instructors, and seven graduate assistants, or a total of seventy. The traditional annual Homecoming corn monument is the handiwork of the engineering department, as is the Homecoming arch and the flashing silent rooter sign. Every effort is made to train the engineer in the theoretical and the practical so tint upon the completion of his course he may render capable public service. A special feature of the Engineer- ing college is Mecca Week. During one week each year the engineers show their wares to the public and partici- pate in a general seven days ' frolic. During this week exhibits are given, the engineers entertain with a bur- lesque show; and activities are cli- maxed by the Mecca Ball to which the entire university is invited. CHARLES D.

THE COLLEGE OF PHARMACY BLUE bottles and brown, white crystals and pink, large pills and small, sugar coated pills and bit- ter herb pills, all are the materials with which the student in the College of Pharmacy deals. The ancient, mys terious, art and science of drugs, known to Cleopatra, is the ffeld of his labors. Organized in 1KH5, the College of Pharmacy aims to train embryo pre scriptionists, manufacturing pharma cists, drug inspectors or food and drug analysts, and to elevate the general standard of pharmacy. The student works in the Pharmacy Botany building, which houses a li- brary of 15,000 volumes, second to none in the United States, the Chem- istry Building, Medical Laboratories, or University Hospital. In the lat- ter building, members of the senior class dispense drugs fulfilling pre- scriptions issued by clinical medical students. The hospital dispensary is under the personal supervision of the Hospital Pharmacist and under the direct charge of the Dean of the Col- lege of Pharmacy, Wilbur John Teet- ers, M.S., Ph.C. WILBUR J. TEETERS Dean After completion of a three or four year course and an examination by a state board of pharmacy the gradu- ate may practice in the state of Iowa. After practical experience he may pass examinations allowing him to practice in other states. The university is a member of the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy. In addition to Dean Teeters there are forty-three instructors in the Col lege of Pharmacy. They consist of thirteen professors, three associate and six assistant professors, five asso- ciates, four instructors, five assis- tants, and seven graduate assistants. With the rapid advancement of the pharmaceutical field it has been nec- essary to protect the profession by law. This move has followed the set ting up of intellectual and education al standards by the other professions. But state protection such as is offered by the qualifying tests which must be passed to become active in the phar- macy field, has not aimed at the granting of special privileges to indi- viduals in this profession but to safe guard the public health by setting up minimum standards for practitioners.
