Many bewildered seekers of liberal culture suddenly found their classes occupied by the military and were forced to seek out different sites for their class recitations The 1686 students enrolled in Liberal Arts have a variety of pursuits in the field of knowledge. Would be scientists pour over fuming test tubes in Bowne Hall, while in Maxwell students discuss world affairs with ardor. This year the Liberal Arts college, headed by Dean Finla G. Crawford, kept apace with a war minded world by offering new courses in Japanese, Russian, Military Ger- man, and map making. Following final examinations in the second sem- ester of the sophomore year, those with a B aver- age are rewarded for their effort by being en- rolled in the Sophomore Honors Group and are freed from group requirements. It is from the College of Liberal Arts that nationally recognized Phi Beta Kappas emerge. PROF. HARRY HELTMAN School of Speech.

LAW ACKETT HALL in downtown Syracuse houses student lawyers for three years in their pursuit of all phases of the law. Courses in legal practice, teaching, public law, corpora- tion law, and corporation finance give the student an acquaintance with the sources of law, a sound and general knowledge of its ideals and principles as they have developed and are now developing, and a store of legal information as great as the can assimilate. He is drilled in the rigid disci- pline of legal reasoning, in the hope of equipping him, as his interest may lead, for the best type of practice, legal teaching, or research. One of the most valuable features of the college has been the constant process of individual conferences and consultations between faculty and students. Dean Paul Shipman Andrews has been granted a leave of absence for war service, but his seven associates guide sober, serious students to an intelligent knowledge of law. Founded at Syracuse in 1896, the College of Law has pro- duced many eminent lawyers and judges. A Board of Visi- tors composed of these eminent men attend Board meetings, plan the future of the school, hear reports on progress, and offer constructive criticisms. Senior Moot Court is the highlight of the student lawyer's life. Held in the Appellate Division room in the County Court house before a bench of distinguished lawyers and judges, seniors plead cases in true dramatic style. As a reward for conscientious effort law students may belong to Phi Delta Phi, national legal honor fraternity, and Louis Marshall society, a local organization for social and intel- lectual activities.
