DEAN T1-Ioxrxs I . IdUI,lj.fX'I'I7 The College of Liberal Arts, the first school of the University to be organized, was opened to students on November 5, 1855. In numbers, it now ranks largest among the colleges of the University, with an approximate enrollment of twelve hundred students, and a faculty roll of about one hundred members. The curriculum leads to the degree of Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science. The College of Liberal Arts is in Evanston, twelve miles north from the business center of Chicago. The campus extends for three-quarters of a mile along the shore of Lake Michigan, and is bordered by Sheridan Road on the west and southi On the main campus, besides the classrooms and laboratories of the College of Liberal Arts, are the College of Engineer- ing, the Library, Garrett Biblical Institute, Evanston Academy, and the School of Oratory. On the upper campus are the Gymnasium, the Dormitories for men, and the Dearborn Observatory. On Willard Hall campus are the School of Music and the women's Dormitories. Northwestern University has no theological school under its control, but ever since its establishment Garrett Biblical Institute has been recognized as meeting the needs of a theological department. Garrett Biblical Institute was founded in 1855, primarily as a theological seminary where young men from the Methodist Church might be educated. It is open, however, to men from any denomination who are properly recommended. It is supported by income from property in the city of Chicago, be- queathed in 1853 as a perpetual foundation by Mrs. Eliza Garrett. The Institute is situated in Evanston, upon the University campus, and has the advantage of an interchange of work with the College of Liberal Arts. T291 Pruzs. CHARLES M. STEWART

U l Northwestern University Medical School was or- ganized in 1859 as the Medical' Department of Lind University of Chicago, and its first annual course of medical instruction began October 9, 1859. In 1869, under the name of the Chicago Medical College, it became the medical department of Northwestern University, although it did not become an integral part of the University until 1905. The College build- ings are located at Twenty-fifth and Dearborn Streets, Chicago. The Medical School has been a pioneer in the advancement of medical education in the United , States. It was the first American school to enforce a standard of preliminary education, to adopt longer DEAN ARTHUR R, EDWARDS annual courses of -instruction, and to initiate, in 1859, the graded curriculum, in which the studies were 'assigned in logical order, and in which laboratory departments prepared the way for the practical clinical branches. l The Law School was founded in 1859, when there were only three similar schools west of the Allegheny Mountains. For many years the School was under the joint control of the old University of Chicago and of North- western University, and was known as the Union College of Law. In 1891, the other University having long ceased to share in the management and being about to surrender its charter, Northwestern Univer- sity assumed sole control, and the School has since been an integral part of the University, and has borne its name. ' ' The School is located in Northwestern University Building at the corner oi Lake and Dearborn Streets, Chicago, which was acquired and rebuilt in 1901-1902, at a cost of nearly one million dollars. It is situated near the center of the business district of Chicago and is of easy access from all residence portions of the city. Graduates of the school now practice in nearly forty states and territories. N DEAN JOHN H. WIGMORE E301
