THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Douglas Smith Anderson, B.A., M.A. The College of Engineering offers courses of pro- fessional training in the fundamental principles under- lying the various branches of Engineering and Archi- tecture. The formulation of these courses is the out- growth of the best thought of educators and the engi- neering 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 includes subjects, or groups of subjects, which are similar in nature. The schools are: Me- chanical and Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Architecture. No candidate for a degree is allowed to restrict himself to the narrow training which might be imparted b v any one school. Work in the technical departments of one of the above schools is made the baclcbone or principal part of a four years ' course, and supplemental work is required in other schools in the college.

r- THE COLLEGE OF LAW RuFus Carrollton Harris, A.B., LL.B , Jur.D. Dean The Tulane College of Law was established in 1847 as the Law Department of the University of Louisiana. It was incorporated with its present organization in 1884, and the name of Tulane was added to perpetuate the memory of the public-spirited citizen who then endowed it. It has afforded legal training to thousands during the period of its e.xistence. The purpose of the College of Law is to provide opportunities and facilities for training equal to the best afforded elsewhere. It purports to inculcate a sound knowledge of both substantive and adjective law. However, the school recognizes a duty beyond equipping and training of men to become practitioners. Many of the University students find its courses val- uable training for citizenship and business careers. The curriculum of the College of Law is unusually attractive in that it is arranged to provide for the special training of those who intend to practice in Louisiana, and at the same time it is arranged to afford training to those who may wish to practice in any of the other states. The College of Law owns a large and well selected library, which is recognized as one of the most complete in the Southern states. It 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.
