In the first place, and most important, is the opportunity to give to our students that broad training that will fit them for the various duties of life and of citizenship. This we try to do through the courses and training offered in the fourteen departments of the Division of Letters and Sciences and in the Divisions of Music and of Com- merce. The aim is to so present and interpret the Arts and Sciences, the History, Philosophy and Literature of the world, past and present, that the young people of Wyoming shall be adequately equipped to meet the various responsibilities of life with that ability and skill which will assure them a reasonable degree of success. In the second place, through a wise selection of fields of major interests, this College hopes to enable each student to find the particular direction in which he can best pursue further study and thus attain to a really comprehensive scholarship in the lines most suited to his interests and abilities. If an adequate foundation has been laid for such work the ambitious student will find ever-increasing pleasure and gratification in further study and work in his chosen field. This, in brief, is the work of the College of Liberal Arts, and to this work we invite the young people of Wyoming. [26]

Dean of the Law School and Professor of Law. The Law School (jflT HE Law School of the University of Wyoming is the only law school in the 111 state. Since its organization in 1920 it has always been a school of recog- nized high standing. In 1923 it was admitted to the Association of American Law Schools and was given a Class A rating by the American Bar Association. Only about thirty per cent of the law schools in the United States have sufficiently high standards to be eligible to membership in and the approval of these associations. A constant effort has been made to improve the facilities in the Law School, so that now there are available a well-conducted library reading room and moot court room, an ample stack room, adequate class rooms, and a suite of faculty and administration offices. The number of volumes in the law school library is now in excess of ten thousand, which volumes include practically all of the standard sets of law books for which students have any use. Systematic additions to the library are being made constantly. The minimum course is the standard five-year course given in all of the better law schools, and consists of at least two years of pre-legal study, followed by three years of professional law study. Elective six-year courses are available to students who wish to secure academic degrees in Liberal Arts, or Business Administration in addition to the professional Bachelor of Laws degree. The law course is designed to prepare students for the practice of law in any state in the country, and graduates are eligible to take the examinations for admis- sion to the bar in any state. In spite of increasing enrollment, the law school is still small enough so that individual attention can be given to all students. [27]
