The College of La Rl ' fus Carrollton ' Harris, A.B., LL.B., Jur.D. Dean The Tiilane College of Law was established in 1S47 as the Law Department of the University of Louisiana. It has afforded legal training to thousands during the period of its existence. 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 valu- able 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. The publication of the Tulanv Laic Rfvicv} by the College of Law affords a medium for the expression of the best thought available on the Jurisprudence of Louisiana. 24.

COLLEGE OF AMTS AND SCIENCES Edward A. Bechtel, Ph.D. Dean The College of Arts and Sciences is one of the oldest colleges of Tulane University, and with the exception of Newcomb College, has the largest en- rollment. Courses are offered leading to the de- grees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Education. The curriculum in each case is planned so as to give a general education in fundamental subjects, and at the same time to afford specialization in some one group of studies, with a view to the development of general culture and training. Special courses are planned for those seeking admission to the College of Law, the College of Medicine and the College of Pharmacy. Among the elective courses affording professional training is included the Department of Journalism. A new course has this year been introduced in Physical Education, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Education. The aim of this new course is to train men who can serve in the high schools as athletic coaches and at the same time teach certain academic subjects.

THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Douglas Smith Andcrson, B.A., M.A. Dean The College of Engineering offers broad courses of professional training in the fundamental principles underljing 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 dur- ing the last two decades. The technical studies in the College of Engineer- ing are contained in four divisions, called schools. The schools are divided into departments. A depart- ment includes subjects, or groups of subjects, which are similar in nature. The schools are: Mechanical 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 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 re- quired in other schools in the college. 25
