THE COLLEGE OF COMMERCE Morton Arnold Aldrich, A.B., Ph.D. Dean BBB w Hb The purpose of this College has been, since its estab- HH B IMll lishment in 1914, to offer substantial professional train- Jk bI S preparatory to a business career. The instruction jft 11 ' ■ ' ' is planned for students sufficiently able and Bk B a B H mature to do work of university grade, and no student ■BBB K » B BI B l is received unless prepared to do work of this character. It is essential, also, to the permanent success of the College that its students approach their work in an earnest professional spirit. Students failing to do so may expect to be asked to withdraw. In order to make the course available for business men and women, classes are also held at night from 8 to 9:45 o ' clock. These classes meet at Gibson ?Iall, Tulane University, each course being held one night a week. By thus devoting only one night a week to attending a course, a student may take any of the night courses offered.

THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Douglas Smith Anderson, B.E., M.E. Dean The College nf Engineering offers courses of profes- sional training in the fundamental principles underlying the various branches of Engineering and Architecture. The formulation of these courses Is the outgrowth of the best thought of educators and the engineering profession and of our own experience during the last two decades. The technical studies in the College of Engineering are contained in four divisions called schools. The schools are divided into departments. A department in- cludes subjects, or groups of subjects, which are similar in nature. The schools are: Mechanical and Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chem- ical Engineering, Architecture. No candidate for a degree Is allowed to restrict himself to the narrow training which might be imparted by any one school. Work in the technical departments of one of the above schools is made the backbone or principal part of a four years ' course, and supplemental work Is required in other schools In the college.

THE COLLEGE OF LAW RuFus Harris, LL.B. Dean The Tulane College of Law lias been in existence since 1847, vhen it was Icnown as the Law Depaitment of the Univei ' sit} ' of Louisiana. It was incorporated with its present organization in 1884, and the name of Tulane was added to perpetuate the memory of the pulilic-spirited citizen who then endowed it. Its diplomas have been conferred on more than 1600 grad- uates. The purpose of the College of La v is to provide opportunities and facilities for training equal to those afforded elsewhere. It purports to inculcate a sound knowledge of both substantive and adjective law. How- ever, the school recognizes a duty beyond equipping and training of men to become practitioners. Many of the University students find its courses valuable train- ing for citizenship and business careers. To this end the College has selected instructors for their fitness to teach. Satisfactory completion of at least two years of col- lege work in approved institutions is required for en- trance, and a period of three years of law study is required for graduation. The curriculum of the College of Law is unusually attractive. The College of Law owns a large and well selected library, by the use of which students become familiar with the extensive sources of the law- and learn how to find law. The College is a member of the Association of American Law Schools, and has been given the Class-A rating by the American Bar Association, and its degree is registered by the New York College Board of Regents. These are the standardizing agencies for law schools.
