COLLEGE OF LAW Our College of Law is under the splendid leadership of Dean Samuel M. Fegtly, who has made possible its excellence by raising the scholastic standards. It is a member of the Association of American Law schools and is rated by the American Bar Association as an accredited institution. One of the requirements of the American Bar Association reads: “It shall have among its teachers a sufficient number giving their entire time to the school to insure personal acquaintance and influence with the whole student body.” Our college of law has certainly lived up to this in ever)' respect. 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 help but produce good results. Phi Delta Phi and Phi Alpha Delta are the two national legal fraternities on our campus which have greatly influenced the unification of the student body and the professional attitude on the part of the aspiring lawyers. Many fine lawyers in Arizona are University graduates, who show by their work the training they received here. Parc 2 DEAN FEGTLY

COLLEGE OF FINE ARTS DEAN ROGERS Last year the past College of Music under Dean Rogers was merged with the departments of art, drama, speech, and rhythmics into the present College of Fine Arts. A bachelor of art’s degree may be obtained in each of these fields. This college has a faculty of which many larger eastern schools might well be proud, for several of them have received their training not only in the United States but also abroad. Julia Rcbcil is head of the piano department; Rollin Pease, head of the voice department, has won national distinction as an oratorio singer; Arthur Olaf Andersen, head of the theory department, was head of this department at the American Conservatory of Music at Chicago and the teacher of many of our outstanding composers; Arthur Cable is head of the speech department; Geniveve Brown, head of dancing; Marguerite Morrow, head of dramatics; and Katherine Kitt, head of art. The other members of the faculty arc also well known in their particular field. For the past several years this college has sponsored the University Artists Series, which brings to our students the finest artists of national repute. P«K 23

COLLEGE LETTERS, ARTS, SCIENCES DEAN RIESEN The four year curriculum of the Letters, Arts, and Sciences College is designed for students who seek culture and scholarship as a part of intelligent living and as a foundation for later, more intensive specialization. The purpose of the first two years is to round out the student’s understanding of a wide range of human interests and to insure reasonable facility in the use of basic tools of thought and communication. The last two years aim to increase mastery in a limited field, the field of the student’s technical or professional interests. That many of our students are eager for culture, or learning how to enjoy the art of living, is evidenced by the large enrollment in this college. The large faculty is headed by Dean Emil R. Riesen, who has built up a deservedly fine reputation for efficiency, ability, and adaptability. He directs the work of the many and varied departments of his college, departments which allow the student in a great degree to choose just what he feels will be of most benefit to his individual needs. Electorates for the national honorary fraternity of Phi Beta Kappa are made each year from the senior class in the College of Letters, Arts, and Sciences.
