SCHOOL OF LAW The School of Law is a division of which the university may be justly proud. It was organized in 1871. Since that time a great many changes have taken place in the method of study. Today a student must learn, not only the accumulating knowledge of technicalities, but the knowledge of seeing law in its true perspective. In 1927, Farrah Hall was erected. This impressive building is a dedication to Dean Albert J. Farrah. It is he, an outstanding figure in this school for the past eighteen years, who has so capably planned and guided the steps toward and advance- ment. At the present, this school, so comfortably housed, with its excellent equipment, faculty, and working library, and with its membership in the Association of American Law Schools, is rapidly becoming one of the outstanding law schools in the south. COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES The College of Arts and Sciences may be considered the foundation of the university. It was this division to which the university was confined exclusively for about three-fourths of its history. From this department gradually evolved the other pro- fessional schools. Since the organization of this division in 1831, its chief purpose and objective has been to further the study of the humanistic arts and sciences. This school is now placed at the head of all the other Alabama institutions, and has been given a nationally high rating. Dr. Charles H. Barnwell, the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, has devoted many years and a great deal of effort toward raising this department to its present high standing. To him is due a great deal of credit for its wide expansion and growth. Dean Barnwell SCHOOL OF MEDICINE The School of Medicine is the only historic profession for which complete education is not now offered at Alabama. At present this school offers only two years of training in the medical field. The enrollment is limited, and the matriculants are care- fully selected in respect to their character, general fitness, and scholarship. Dr. Stuart Graves, dean, is largely responsible for the proposed plan of a four-year school. However, until such a plan is completed, all efforts are being exerted toward perfecting the present school to conform with the highest standards. PAGE TWENTY-EIGHT
