 College of Law The College of Law offers courses leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Laws and of Juris Doctor. Students applying for admission to the College must be at least twenty years of age and, if candidates for a law degree, must have completed all pre-legal requirements for the law degree. Those pre-legal requirements comprise two years’ work in one of the other colleges of the university, such work having been completed with an average grade or a grade better than average, and in courses of substantially valuable intellectual content. The College of Law is a member of the Association of American Law Schools and is rated by the American Bar Association as an accredited institution upon the basis of the Association’s standards for such recognition. Graduates from the University of Arizona College of Law are accredited in states requiring of legal educational institutions parallel membership and rating for accredited standing Students are prepared for the state bar examination during the pursuance of their course. The successful work of the Law College is borne out in the remarkable accomplishments of its graduates, the alumni, throughout the state. Perhaps the most noticeable characteristic of the College is the feeling of friendship which exists among the students and between students and faculty. The confidence of the student body in the faculty, each member of which is of recognized legal ability, coupled with a sincere personal interest in the student on the part of the faculty, makes for a harmony which cannot but produce good results. Dean Samuel M. Fegtley’s work in building up the present college and in constantly raising scholastic standards is responsible for the present high standing of the college. There are two national legal fraternities with chapters on the Arizona campus, Phi Delta Phi and Kappa Pi. Their influence toward unification of the student body and professional attitude on the part of the aspiring lawyers is noteworthy. F»tr 28

College of Education The College of Education stands at the head of educational activities throughout the state. Dean James Willis Clarson supervises the work of the college, whose students have at their disposal the facilities of every other college in the University. To enable the University to meet the needs of the state in the preparation and certification of teachers, supervisors, and administrative school officers, is the purpose of the college. Students arc prepared for teaching by acquiring a broad liberal education, a thorough knowledge of the subject they intend to teach, and a practical knowledge of pupils, teaching problems, and progress in teaching. The staff of six, professors, lecturers, and supervisors, are men thoroughly experienced in every phase of school work, men of real educational achievement. A student graduating from the university with a degree in education is by virtue of that graduation accepted by the State Boardof Education in Arizona for certification as an elementary or secondary school teacher. The requirements of the College of Education also meet the standards of the North Central Association of Secondary Schools and Colleges in respect to professional studies and proper election of subject-matter courses for purposes of high-school teaching. In its extensive work among the schools throughout the state, the personal aid of members of the faculty of the College and the College’s facilities for such work are much in demand. With Dean Clarson, president of the Arizona Educational Association, a steady policy of sound progress is possible to initiate and follow through, with perennial co-ordination of all the schools in the state. This makes for co-operation between schools to afford a uniform system wherein broad developments are feasible. That the College has had worthy success is shown by the large number of successful supervisors, administrators, and teachers in every line of educational activity, which it has turned out in years past. Such results are largely attributable to Dean J. W. Clarson, whose ability and effective endeavor are well known throughout Arizona. DEAN CLARSON PMe U

Choosing freely his work, he is afforded a convenient measure of what is for him most attractive, the thing he is best suited to enter, as a profession or business. Equipped with background and wide interests, hq proceeds into upper division work for highly specialized training in his chosen major subject. The College prepares students for the degrees of Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, and for certain advanced degrees. Students who intend to go into medical or dental schools are offered courses which allow them to complete the pre-medical or pre-dental requirements of any such school. Letters, Arts, and Sciences College is the best college in which to gain that particular assembly of learning referred to as culture. Other colleges may spend years instructing young Americans in the ways and means, the methods and tricks, of earning a living, amassing money. But no college devotes so much time to instructing young Americans in the reputedly lost art of enjoying a living. Dean Emil R. Reisen, has built up a deservedly fine reputation for reasonableness, ability, and efficiency. He heads an excellent and numerous faculty. He directs the work of the many departments in his college, departments which serve Arizona eds ands co-eds of every type, of every interest. To coordinate many groups into a smoothly running organization, to bring divergent factional desires into progressive action of good harmony, is a problem that has downed many a good administrator and his system, in many fields. The success of Dean Reisen and his faculty is highly laudable. DEAN RIESEN Page 91
