SCHOOL OF LAW A legislative enactment in 1854 established at that time the Department of Law, which later became the University ' s School of Law. The three-year program of study offers a thorough grounding in the principles of jurisdiction together with actual practice of legal procedures. This program also entitles its graduates to practice in any court of law in the state without further examination. An emphasis on Mississippi law and practice does not prevent students from becoming familiar with the American and Anglo-Saxon legal tradition as a whole. Along with the Mississippi State Bar Association the Law Schoo l publishes the Mississippi Law Journal. Two leading legal fraternities, Delta Phi and Phi Alpha Delta, have chapters on the campus. The school is accredited both by the Association of American Law Schools and the American Bar Association. The Dean of the school is Dr. Robert J. Farley. Dean Robert J. Farley

COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS The oldest school on the University campus is the College of Liberal Arts, being the only one contained in the original makeup at the time of opening in 1848. The College offers a broad and complete comprehensive course of study including most areas of knowledge in the humanities and in the physical, biological and social sciences. The broad study program of the College of Liberal Arts is an end in itself in guiding students toward intellectual and civic competence, and serves as a point of departure for students entering law, medicine, theology and other professional fields; as well as for those who wish to participate in advanced study and research programs. A significant feature of this school is its Scholars Program which enables selected superior students to participate in advance class sections and to meet and have discussions with eminent faculty members and outstanding campus visitors.
