College of Law The College of Law was the first purely professional college to be instituted by the University, and is perhaps the most individual at present. It offers a full course to prepare its students for the practice of law. and has been accorded recognition by the American liar Association as an accredited college of law. The College of l aw now has the added distinction of membership in the Association of American Law Schools. Professor Kegtly. Dean of the College, has progressively directed the work in legal education at Arizona from its early initiation throughout its rapid development. The success of the college he attributes to the acknowledged ability and enthusiasm of the members of the law faculty, as they cooj erate, under his supervision, in instruction. Activities of two chapters of national legal fraternities supplement the technical educational work of the classroom, by affording the members of the law student body a social relaxation deemed by the faculty to l c both necessary and desirable. The spirit of friendliness which permeates the entire law group is a striking and distinctive-characteristic of the College of l aw, and produces that harmony between students and faculty which alone can lead to the very finest success.
