Tzu' PHULUGUE l700'l9. UYLE. This year the School of Law of Columbus University became the third largest in the country. The Freshman Law Class was the largest in the nation. The School of Account- ancy continued its progress. The Junior College entered its second year. A special course in the groundwork and fundamentals of aviation was inaugurated successfully. The enrollment of the University surpassed all previous records and more classroom space was acquired. The keynote was: Progress and Expansiong the better to serve those who would seek higher learning. Like the Federal Government our Univer- sity is divided into three branches: School of Law, School of Accountancy and Junior College. Thus in our theme within Book One we have drawn an analogy to the judicial, executive and legislative branches of our government. Irv

COLUMBUS UNIVERSITY Time is a relative concept. We reckon time not in the abstract but in relation to something tangible. To a geologist six years or even eighteen years would probably sound too fractional to be Worth bothering about. Yet in that comparatively short time, the entire history of Columbus University is spanned from inception to the distinction of having the third largest Law School enrollment in the Nation. Its history is unique. When funds for the maintenance of the Knights of Columbus Evening School for War Veterans were depleted, men with vision transformed the school into a University operating schools of law and accountancy, incorporated under the laws of the District of Columbia. By a special act of Congress dated June 11, 1934, Columbus University was granted a Federal Charter under which it now func- tions, and since that time its progress has been steady, uninterrupted and cumulative. The Columbus University Junior College was estab- lished in the fall of 1938. Columbus University is a non-stock organization and is not con- ducted for private gain. The sole objective is to make its educational facilities accessible to men and women students employed in the District of Columbia. For this reason classes are conducted only in the evenings. In the School of Law the University offers courses leading to the Bachelor of Laws, Master of Laws, and Master of Patent Law. In the School of Accountancy courses are available leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Commercial Science and Master of Commercial Science. The Columbus University Junior College offers instruction in the fields of Economics, English, Foreign languages, History, Public Speak- ing, and the Sciences. The title of Associate in Arts is conferred upon completion of sixty semester hours of study. Dr. Fitzpatrick, in 1932, predicted that in time Columbus University would become one of the finest schools in the country. Today, with an enrollment of more than 1,500 students, Columbus University is doing all those things for which those public spirited men founded it. Achieve- ment has not only matched, but has outrun faith and prediction. Page Ifozzrlmfrz
