The CARDINAL I936 74 The School Of Law TJE OPENING OF THE 1935-36 academic year marked the beginning of the fortieth year of the Law Schools existence. The Law School is a member of the Association of American Law Schools, and has the approVal of the American Bar Association. This affiliation determines largely the standards to be maintained by the administration and faculty of the school. The small classes in the Law School furnish the student with ample opportunity for personal contact with his professors which is a desirable factor in the process of education. The work of the full-time professors and faculty members is supplemented by part-time specialists. The training and experience of these men give them a rating which places the School of Law in the front rank of Law Schools throughout the country. The subjects of Labor Law, Administrative Law, Constitutional Law, Air Law and others, are taught in the light of changing conditions in modern society and improved legal procedures. Legal ethics and jurisprudence are given special emphasis. With the installation at the University several years ago of a Chapter of Gamma Eta Gamma, a National Honorary Legal Fraternity, further im- petus to study, contact with leaders in the field of law, and the creation of that itlegal atmosphere at social gatherings were effected. Law clubs for the preparation and trying of selected cases were organized last year, and are the means of giving the students valuable experience in this phase of legal education.
