s m THOEV X HISTORICAL HIGH LIGHTS (Continued) ▲ The Law School was established in 1847, with Judge Abram Caruthers as the first professor. Prior to the Civil War this was the largest law school in the United States. Three men, because of their long tenure of office and worthy records of service, deserve pi-ominent mention in the history of the Law School. Judge Nathan Green, ' 45 A.B., ' 49 LL.B., was Professor of Law from 1856 to 1919, a period of sixty-three years. Dur- ing many years of this time he also served as Chancellor of the University. Dr. A. B. Martin, ' 58 LL.B., served as Professor of Law for a period of forty-two years — from 1878 until 1920. Judge Edward E. Beard, ' 71 A.B., ' 73 LL.B., served in the same capac- ity from 1912 until 1923. Today the Law School has three full-time instructors — Dean William R. Chambers, Judge A. B. Neil, and Professor Daniels. Dr. W. P. Bone is the senior member of the University faculty, having to his credit thirty-nine years of distinguished service. During this time he was President two terms. On this, the ninetieth anniversary of her birth, Cumberland University is composed of the College of Law, the College of Arts and Sciences, the Department of Music, the Department of Commerce, and the Department of Public Speaking. Dr. E. L. Stockton, who succeeded Dr. John Royal Harris as President, has served in this capacity since 1927. The history of Cumberland commands the admiration of every student and alumnus. Cumberland rests today upon as firm a foundation of historic service as any other uni- versity in the South, and what she is doing now is an indication of what her future progres s will be. Let us gaze into the future far as human eye can see and try to vision our Alma Mater during the next decade, the end of which will mark the one hundredth anniversary of her founding. Lnportant plans are being formulated and definitely worked out which, when put into execution, will mean a larger student body, greater interest and loyalty, and a more extensive University program. First in impoi ' tance among the plans for the immediate future is the drive to enroll one hundred and twenty-five Freshmen for the school year beginning in September, 1932. With students, alumni, and civic organizations of Lebanon cooperating in this efi ' ort, its success is assured, which will mean that next year Cumberland will have the largest enrollment in her history. No plan in recent years has been received more favorably and with more enthusiasm and optimism by students, alumni, and friends of the University than the announcement that next year Cumberland will resume intercollegiate athletic competition. Member- ship in the Mississippi Valley Conference has been assured, and with the Red Bulldog again upholding the University ' s banner of athletic prowess and adding fresh laurels to an already glorious past, we cannot look upon the future but with optimism. These plans, together with the endowment drive which is going steadily forward and which is being carried on with renewed vigor by University administrators and alumni, will result in gxeat advancement for Cumberland. The plans for the future progress of Cumberland are not dreams.
