It is a member of the Association of American Law Schools and re- ceived Class A rating by the American Bar Association. Liasmuch as there were only thirty-nine law schools so rated by the American Bar Association, such selection is evidence of the standing of the school as compared with others in the country. The Law School is at present housed on the third floor of the Library build- ing. Due to its rapid rate of growth, the quarters are already becoming crowded, and further growth as indicated by the large numbers of students taking pre-legal courses indicates that expansion is inevitable. Although the Law School has been in existence only since 1920, its graduates have found places of importance in the state, and the school is becoming favorably known because of the quality of its products.

It is in this college that students pursue duties designed to result in a liberal education or a foundation for further specialized studies. This college was the first one established in the University and has ever since been the largest and most important branch of the Plniversity. At present nearly every student in the University is enrolled in some course in this college. While the fundamental i)urpose of the college is to aiTord a liberal and general education, it provides the basis for all professional studies. Every professional college recjuires as preliminaries to entrance, certain Liberal Arts courses. The importance attached to such preliminary studies is shown by the increasing amount of such work required for entrance into the speciaHzed divisions. Dean Soule is also Dean of Men of the L niversity. Twciitv-thvee Q anmiouDBjiLOTLiLttraxixra:

Along with its growth in student enrollment and interest among the students, the College of Engineering has been expanding in the size of its housing quarters. Four years ago, a long stride toward the present excellent condition was made when the shops building was built. In 1927, the Engineering College moved into a new classroom and office building that is one of the outstanding structures on the campus. Indicative of its keeping trend of advancing science, was the installation in the college, this year, of a course in aeronautics which, it is expected, will be followed soon by a regular course in actual dying.
