The Scliool of LaAv H. W. Arant Dean Green Hall THE practice of law is a branch of public service. The aim of the School of Law is to furnish adequate preparation for those who choose to serve society as lawyers. It believes that training for high type practice of law in a society that constantly grows more complex requires an appreciation of the close connection between the law that is administered by the courts and the various social and economic forces; the possession of a high ideal of service and a thorough technical training. To develop these is the program of the School of Law, I t Rice Van Hecke Strong Larrimore Page 24

This standardization process is in line with similar progress in other institutions of our type.

v JAtkA wke The School of Fine Arts Central Ad D. M. SWARTHOUT Dean THE year just passed has been a noteworthy one from the standpoint of achievement in the School of Fine Arts. The enrollment showed a consider- able increase over last year. The contribution made to the artistic life of the campus and comanunity by the school has been particularly outstanding. The formation last year of the Oratorio Chorus of more than 500 voices brought back to the University this field of musical endeavor, effected a closer union between the city and the University, and put on a most successful presen- tation of Handel ' s Messiah in the spring. The success of the first Music Week was such as to warrant planning for an even greater program for the present year. The series of All-Musical Vespers, which were inaugurated last year, stressing particularly concerted music of the best type and which made such an appeal, have been carried on through the winter months as before with the result that the seating capacity of Fraser Hall has been taxed at practically every concert.
