The Library School was opened in 1931 on a spe- cial grant from the General Education Board. The School is accredited by the American Library Association and is a member of the Association of American Library Schools. The quarters of the school comprise library, seminar, conference and typing rooms, classrooms and faculty of- fices on the second floor of the University Library. The School was organized to meet the demands for library train- ing in the South and Southwest especially Louisiana.

The Law School is a member of the Association of American Law Schools and is on the approved list of schools compiled by the American Bar Association. The primary objective of the Law School is to prepare students for the practice of law in Louisiana, where the civil law legal system prevails. In its curriculum and general program the school seeks to encourage scholarship and re- search in order to lay the foundation for scientific investiga- tion of the problems of legal adjustment of human relations and to stimulate legal authorship. wW- jm jm iiam i, a y Left to right, John McMahon, president; Roland Mc- Kneely, secretary-treasurer.

School of Medicine The School of Medicine is part of the largest medical teaching center in the world. Located in the heart of New Orleans next to Charity Hospital, the eight-story building contains a library of more than 100,000 volumes. The prescribed course leading to a degree of doctor of medicine extends for four years. The first two years are devoted to intensive study of basic medical sciences in lecture rooms and laboratories. The last two years are spent largely in the wards and clinics of Charity Hospital. Following internship, some choose to continue their studies and to specialize. Other graduates enter general practice. On the lighter side, students enjoy the Cadaver Ball, celebrating the successful completion of the freshman first semester, and the student-faculty banquet at the end of the school year. i6
