I m SCH00l 0F l W When student enrolls at the University of Tulsa Law School wi the ambition of someday hanging out his own shingle, he ' uld find no better standard to guide his career than that of 's dean, Judge Summers Hardy. One of the 'great figures i ' klahoma law circles, Dean Hardy has held 'the office of Sup me Court Justice of Oklahoma and now - guides the TU La Y P chool in addition to conducting a pri-E ' vate law practice. ' Dean's career, like that of o - -' ' widely known Tulsa a .n neys, has added muc - e the , ' school which is training to gig ,V s - f- omorrow's i f men of law. He is ably assisted by V' . Franklin, assistant - dean, who has also had a long and successful career in law. It is only fitti g t 'lat a man of Dean Hardy's reputation in his profession should head the law faculty which boasts of other Tulsans who have made more than an average mark in this field. The custom of calling upon those men who can impart the knowledge that has made them successful in their own law careers, a practice which established the old Tulsa Law School in the early 1920's, is carried on to good advantage. A merger of the University's pro- gram of pre-law training and that of the Tulsa Law School in 1943, made the two programs a single unit. The Law School, under Dean Hardy, has reached a record enrollment this year and a new expansion in classes which includes a full-time course for the first time. Like the Downtown College, the Law School will have realized another great expansion with the completion of the modern classroom build- ing in downtown Tulsa. Assistant Dean W. C. Franklin discusses a point of law with two visiting Downtown College students.
