Law’ School After the College of Law had been created by the State Legislature, the board of Regents appointed Professor Samuel i4‘egtly. who had been director of the Law School, to Dean of the College of Law. Dean Eegtly. who came to the Vniversiiv in 1V15 when the School of Law was created, is admired and respected hy all of the law students. In P 15. a few students look part of the first year law course which was offlTercd. Three professors, who taught in other departments of the College of Letters. Arts and Sciences: constituted the faculty of the School of Law. However. the School of Law grew rap dly. it was found necessary to engage full-time professors to instruct the law students. During the past few years, the regular law course has been offered, requiring one year of pre legal work: and then three years of the regular course in order to secure a degree. W ithin the next year of two. Dean Eegtly hopes to he al»le to operate the college on the same standard required hy the Association of American Law Schools, which requires two years of pro-legal work. 'Pile degrees of LL. I ., and J. I), are given by the College of Law. The requirements for the J. D. degree, which is given to scholars which have academic degrees, are higher in the I'niversitv of Arizona than they are at most law schools. At the present time there are three professors teaching in the College: Professor Andrew . Anderson. Professor Leonard J. Curtis, and Professor Richmond Rosco. All three of these men had a i mm her of years of actual law practice before they became professors. In addition to the full-time professors, two members of the local bar are engaged in instructing the students. Judge Kirke T. Moore is in charge of tlic practice court, which i held three times each week: and Klwood l». Erawley. who has charge of the classes in Dean S. M. I;egtly commercial law. I’iltft1 2d

rtfUMAiu; uwatfwvc rM Iff Dr. Frank C. Lockwood The College of Letters Arts and Sciences The College of Letters, Arts ami Sciences, which is the largest of the five colleges of the University, is the product of Dr. Frank C. Lockwood's untiring efforts and dreams for a bigger and better organization. The i o!i-cics of the college have been rather conservative, which one of the admirable characteristics of the Dean’s own splendid personality. Specialized courses of study in this college are specifically outlined in such a manner as to include certain subjects directly related to the major subject chosen by the student. At the present time the following special courses of study arc outline 1. Courses of study in commerce; courses of study in science tor pre-medical and pre-dental students; and combined pre-dental students; and combined course of study for those desiring the Bachelor of Laws and Juris Doctor degrees. The latter course will be dropped in the future, owing to the creation of the College of Law. The courses of study outlined in science offer opportunities to students to complete pre-medical and pre-dental courses, and arc based on the average pre-professional requirements existing in medical and dental schools. The equipment of the various departments of the college is very complete. The classes in archaeology have at their disposal the resources of the Arizona State Museum, which contains an excellent collection of the historic and prehistoric specimens of the civilization of the Southwest. The Steward Observatory, which was erected with a gift of $60,000 from the late Mrs. Lavinia Steward, affords excellent opportunity for students of astronomy to study the heavens. Included in the equipment of the observatory arc a 36-inch reflecting telescope, photographic equipment, astronomical clocks, etc. The laboratories for the various biological courses have the usual equipment for instruction and laboratory work. The herbarium consists of 7-1,000 mounted specimens, of which 30.000 sheets arc in the Arizona Botanical Survey Collection. The unique flora and fuana of the mountains, foothills, and mesas, which are found in close proximity to the University, offer unusual opportunities for instruction and research. The entomological laboratory is a part of the Agricultural Experiment Station, and in addition to the regular laboratory equipment, there is a constantly growing collection of insects, the majority of which are Arizona species. This collection, which is added to yearly by the students, plays an important part in the teaching and research activities in the course. The laboratory for general chemistry accommodates one hundred and eighty students, and is well equipped with the necessary facilities for a course of this kind. A special laboratory is at the disposal of the classes in qualitative analysis. A large lecture room, and two main laboratories, all of which arc completely equipped, are used by the classes in physics. Individual rooms are used for special experiment work. ga JU-—VJ l’auc 28 m

 College o Engi Tin College of Mines and Kngi-nceriug. mnler Dean («. M. I Sutler, has in the last few years sprung into prominence in the worlil of technical institutions. Without doubt. the high place which this college now hol ls among similar colleges in the country is due to the untiring efforts »f Dean I Sutler. Dean I Sutler is one of the best known mining engineers in the country. and as a prominent worker in the American Association of Kngineers. has been appointed the chairman of a committee which will investigate the educational features of the engineering field. As a technical man. Dr. I Sutler is a mineralogist of international note, his work on Crystals and Type Kock being taken as authority throughout the I'nited States. The equipment of the various departments of the college is very complete, all phases of the practical and theoretical instruction being represented. In the civil engineering department, the surveying equipment includes transits, levels, sextants, numerous small instruments, and all of the other equipment required for held work. The apparatus in the materials testing lal moratory is fitted for making physical tests of wood, steel, stone, cement, concrete, and other materials used in engineering construction work. I »r the laboratory work in hydraulics, tanks, concrete reservoirs and pits, wiers. and other equipment are available for indoor work in this subject. t Mines and net ring Dean ». M. I fuller The electrical engineering laboratory is well equipped for carrying on all tests on alternating currents, circuits and machines. Tile students in this department visit various power plants in the state, including the Kmisevclt Dam and the large mine power plants. large number of mineral and fossil specimens are available for the use of the students in the geology and mineralogy department. I W the study of drawing and machine design, the department of mechanical engineering is provided with a large assortment of models and drawings. The wood shop, machine shops, steam and electric shops arc all well equipped for giving the best instruction possible to the student engineers. 'flu mining laboratory equipment includes a large number machine rock drills, which are used in outdoor drilling operations in a specially designed pit. The metallurgical lal ora(orv for small scale work is designed mainly for practice and experimental work in ore dressing and hydro-metallurgy. The ore crushing and sampling equipment is in the lab-oratory for large scale work.
