J.. ii We-L, f f l DEAN JOHN H. XVIGMORE HE LAW SCHOOL was founded in 1859 with a sum of money given by Thomas Hoyne, when there were only three similar schools west of the Allegheny Mountains. The First dean was Henry Booth, 1859-1891. For many years the School was under the joint control of the old University of Chicago and of Northwestern 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 University assumed sole control, and the School has since been an integral part of the University, and has borne its name. The course of study is arranged to give a knowledge of the law that will be indispensable to students wherever they may practice. Graduates of the School now practice in nearly forty States and Terri- tories. Special courses are offered for acquiring a knowledge of the law of Illinois. The Case-study system, or the study of the principles of law as illustrated in judicial opinions, is followed, but each instructor employs it according to his own judgment, conducting the classes by lectures, discussions, recitations, written exercises, or in any way he deems best adapted to the subject. The extensive library of the School, the Elbert H. Gary Library of Law, lends itself peculiarly to this modern and scientific method of instruction. At present the entrance requirements demand at least one year of college work. page thirty-one .,- i gLl,wg,,,,.,.......1.,.f 4. ,,,T7L,., .. . . ,Y J 'fs ' 5 9 I' ' ' il l .-.roi-L 4 1 fiffgs e 1 f t ef- t ef ee e -- -rffifzzatj., '... ,lf ' .. 1 l ,VI ' 1 ..ul:.,,.-,aL L .. .

In 1863 the disturbing influences 1 lg of the Civil War threw the medical faculty upon their own resources and as an independent institution , Y , f if they became the Chicago Medical College. Since 1890 it has been known as the Northwestern Uni- l ff ' 5 versity Medical School, and since 1905 has been an integral part of the University. 1 , ll Much of the success of the school is due to the benefactions of Mr. Vkiilliam Deering, Dr. Nathan S. 1 ,l Davis, Mr. james A. Patten, and Dr. Ephriam Ingals, and to the wisdom and devotion of Dr. Nathan I 'E S. Davis, Ir., who served as Dean from 1901 to 1907. 1 Wesley Memorial Hospital, the recent gift of Mr. flames Deering, is of great importance to the work il if ' of the Medical School. ,l -,Vg I . ' The Medical School has been a pioneer in the advancement oi medical education in the United li ' , States. It was the first American school to enforce a standard of preliminary educationg to adopt 113 ' l 7 l longer annual courses of instruction 5 and to initiate, in 1859, the graded curriculum, in which the studies l were assigned in logical order, and in which laboratory departments prepare the way for the practical l ff 1 l clinical branches. The school is opened to men only. ' 1 1 11 1 ' 1 1' 11 ' l 1 1 1 1 13, 1 ,,, lull l ,gil page tlzirly 11? l 31' - Il 1 .. 1 ' 1 1 :el 5 411 . -wg.

CUMNOCK HE SCHOOL OF ORATORY has had thirty-eight years of growth and development. Like many Z other departments this school has passed through its period of trial, and has slowly won the favor of university oflicials, and of the educational world as a necessary and useful agency in education. The Northwestern School of Oratory is, perhaps, the only school of its kind that has originated and developed in connection with a great institution of learning. Its founder and director has been for many years a college officer. On its staff of instruction are college men and women of long teaching experience. The school began its Work in 1878, graduating its first class in 1881. Since that date approximately twelve hundred students have received its diploma. The school occupies its own building, Anna May Swift Hall, designed with special reference to the needs of the three departments, Public Speaking, English Literature, and Physical Training. This beautiful structure stands just east of the main hall of the University and on the shore of Lake Michigan. On the ground floor is a modern gymnasium, well equipped in every way. On the Brst floor are the school offices, an auditoritun, seating four hundred and fifty people, and the school libraries. On the second and third floors are recitation rooms, teaching studios, and sixteen practice rooms, exclusively set aside for the use of the students. page thirtyetwo l 'L if i 1 to cc,, . ,t Y5?'.'
