The College of Agriculture T has been a good year for the Agricultural College. The stock-judging team surpassed all previous records for Wyoming teams in the contest at the Inter- national Livestock Exposition at Chicago. Many members of the graduating class have been granted fellowships in other universities, where they will have a chance to do graduate work. The members of the faculty have been elected to important offices of the national societies in their special fields of work, and they have pub- lished books and articles that have attracted national attention. The general scholar- ship of students, both in Agriculture and Home Economics, has never been higher. The graduates of the last few years are making themselves felt in positions of lead- ership in this and other states. Throughout the state more and more young people of Wyoming are coming to realize that a course in Agriculture or Home Economics in our own University is the best possible preparation for a useful and happy life.

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]

(j III HE goal of the training in the Engineering College is the graduation of 111 students whose instruction has been such that they can compete successfully with the graduates of the best engineering colleges of the country ,and who at the same time will become trusted leaders in their different communities by reason of the fine character and high ideals developed in part at the University of Wyoming. The College consists at present of divisions in each of the four main branches of engineering, civil, electrical, mechanical and mining. In each of these divisions the underlying idea of the curricula is a thorough training in fundamental subjects. No special work is given for degrees in restricted fields for which a student may or may not be fitted or have a permanent interest. The basic work done will, how- ever, enable a student to enter any of several particular lines after getting into practice and knowing better what life work to follow. In the past the College has graduated many men who are today prominent in their work and who hold positions of responsibility. It hopes its present student body will have at least as great success and in greater numbers than ever before. [29]
