■ E 1 g 3 I O O F= CD l l X College of oArts and Sciences The year 1831 witnessed the founding of the College of Arts and Sciences, which was for many years the only division of the University of Alabama. The growth of this centurian has been phenomenal. Beginning with a total enrollment of less than a hundred, it has gradually expanded until today the resultant Iniversity proudly exhibits more than four thousand students. A decade of superlative leadership and organization on the part of the present dean. Dr. Charles H. Barnwell, has placed the college at the head of all other Alabama institutions, and has given it nationally high rating, as well as more than trebling the number of students registered. The ideal training and background of the college can but produce not only men ■well worthy of the profession, but also intelligent, broad-minded citizens. Dean Barnwell Law School The School of Law was organized in 1871. It is centered at Farrah Hall, a beautiful three-story building, dedicated to Dean Albert J. Farrah, A.M., LL.B., LL.D., who has been the principal figure for eighteen years in the development of legal studv in Alabama. A member of the Association of American Law Schools and possessing the approved rating of the Amer- ican Bar Associaticn, the Law College is one of the leading instruments in the South for developing competent members of the bar. The Alabama Law School has as its aim not only theoretical and practical instruction of students in legal fields, but also the training of students in the ethics and principles of the legal profession. The best equipment and an excellent faculty have placed the Alabama Law School in the high posi- tion which it now maintains. Dean Farrah School of SMedicine This school at present offers only the first two years of medi- cine, but maintains such standards of admission and promotion as insure ready transfer for its students to the best four-year schools for the completion of their medical education. The thor- oughness of their training at Alabama has been proven by their uniform success elsewhere. Matriculants are carefully selected for character and general fitness as well as scholarship. En- rollment is limited. The net result is a small, high grade, con- genial student body which receives close individual attention from the faculty. Medicine is the only historic profession for which complete education is not now offered by Alabama. To the correction of this situation as soon as possible the University trustees, the Medical Alumni Association and the State Medical Association are formally committed. As a basis for this development the University is endeavoring to perfect its two-year school in con- formance with the highest standards. cSr Dean Graves 24
