THE 1956 PHOENIX RECORDS THE RETURN TO CARUTHERS This is a special edition of the Phoenix; special in the sense that it records more than just a few of the highlights of the school year or various organiza- tions to which members of the student body belong: The 1956 Phoenix records the return of the law school of Cumberland University to its home, Caruthers Hall. Seventy-nine years ago, a group of men began their study of law in the proud new Caruthers Hall. Caruthers, patterned after the stately and his- toric Independence Hall, was named in honor of Cumberland ' s first law professor, Abraham Caruthers. Pride in their new school named for such a deserving man, and designed after so noble a structure, must have been high in the hearts of these students as they entered its doors for the first time. Some four or five years ago, the law school was moved from Caruthers Hall to Memorial Hall on the main campus due to the lack of adequate office facili- ties in Caruthers. This need was alleviated with the recent purchase of the Green house on property adjacent to that on which Caruthers stands. The Green house contains the offices of the law faculty thus making Caruthers Hall very useful once more. A return was made to Caruthers on January 3, 1956, and the 1956 Phoenix, with a great amount of pride, records for posterity this return.
