Rothrock are at the head of this depart- ment of the school. The purposes of the graduate school are to carry on research, train students in the methods of research and to give them more training in the field in which they are specializing. The affairs are administered by Dean C. H. Eigenmann, assistant Dean Fer- nandus Payne and the council of the graduate school. Persons must have an A. B. or B. S. de- gree to be eligible for entrance. Complying with a provision of the state legislature in 1853, a department for the training of teachers was established as part of the university. Since that time the school of education has grown rapidly in popularity and in enrollment. Practical work in teaching is done at the Bloomington high school. Dean H. L. Smith governs the work of the school. It is significant of the purpose and standing of the law school that the official announcement of its opening in 1842 set forth the purpose of the trustees as nothing less than the upbuild- ing of a law school that shall be inferior to none west of the mountains: one in which the student shall be so trained that he shall never, in the attorney, forget the scholar and the gen- tleman. Since its foundation the progress of the law school has been noteworthy, and the pur- pose of its founders seems well on the way to realization. Paul V. McNutt is dean of this school. The first courses in music were given at the university in 1893. In 1919 the school of music was organized with Dean B. W. Merrill at its head. He Agnes E. Wells Dean of women since 1918; A. B.

Activities of the students are supervised and watched over by the various deans. For the co- eds. Dean Agnes E. Wells and assistant Dean Lydia Wood- bridge are in charge. Dean C. E. Edmondson and Dean C. J. Sembower bear the worries of the misdemeanors of men stu- dents. But contrary to the im- pression which might be gained from those unfamiliar with col- lege life, all contacts with these officials are far from disagree- able. All are ever ready to aid the student in time of trouble, and when a word of sound ad- vice is needed, always are pres- ent to give it. An attempt to describe the various schools and depart- ments of the university should start with the college of arts and sciences. Its curriculum is de- signed to give the student a cul- tural knowledge that is the necessary background for any specialized pursuit which may be decided upon later. Deans U. H.

The purpose of the school is to give the student a complete education in the science and art of music and to prepare him for a professional career. The first commercial course was given in 1902, and con- sisted of two years of study. To satisfy the needs and demands of the work, the board of trus- tees in 1919 authorized a course in commerce covering four years. The next year a distinct school was established for the study of commerce and finance. Study in this department of the university has proved a dis- tinct advantage for many. Enrollment in the school has increased rapidly ever since its R. E. Cavanaugb Director of Extension Division since 1921; A. B. Indiana. 1908: A. M. Chicago. 1909: professor.
