COLLEGE CF LAW IAMLS BYRON Tvirztiomircria. S.I.IJ. Curtis, licczer, Barnes, Thomas, McCormick, Smith, Fegtly CE Arizona's Law College student body is to all intents and purposes separate from the rest of the campus, even having its own student body organization. Lawyers devote their attention to study- ing a curriculum comprising the standard substantive law courses offered by leading American law schools and a sufhcient number of courses on procedure to acquaint them with the mechanics of the profession. In the Law Building is the Law Library, consisting of more than 14,500 volumes. The College of Law is rated as an approved school by the American Bar As- sociation and is a member of the Association of Amer- ican Lavv Schools. Its graduates, therefore, qualify for admission to the bar of those states, including Arizona, which require such high standards. Dean McCormick, a graduate of Illinois-Wesleyali University and holder of degrees from the University of Southern California and Duke University, was appointed this year to succeed Samuel Marks Fegtly, who retired as Dean Emeritus. Interested primarily in maintaining high standards in the legal profession, Dean McCormick is fulfilling ably his new duties. 17

Brlqhe courses of the Fine Arts College are designed to meet the needs of four types of students: those possessing special ability, those planning to become professionals through graduate study, those expecting to teach the Hne arts, and those interested in them as a part of a liberal education. It is composed of the drama, speech, art, and music de- partments, and ranks high among the line arts colleges of state universities. Fine Arts College students form one of the most closely-knit units in the university student body, perhaps because of the constant activity of the College in the presentation of faculty and stu- dent recitals, art exhibits, and plays. From the point of view of the general student body, one of the most important functions of the Fine Arts College is its sponsorship of the annual University Artists' Series. Dean Andersen was this year made regional adviser of the Art Committee for the New York VVorld's Fair Art Exhibit and for the National All-States Exhibition in New York. He has studied in Europe with distin- guished musicians, and is a composer of some note. 16

Nearly half the students in the University are registered in the program of courses in the College, which includes the School of Business and Public Administration, for in addition to Liberal Arts College members, students in the technical and professional schools of the University receive their instruction in basic courses in the sciences languages, English, and other humanities under the Liberal Arts faculty. 7 The greater number of students who enter the Univer- sity without a delinite vocational or educational aim enroll initially in the Liberal Arts college, thereby creating a problem in vocational guidance. Since this work is one of the prime educational interests of Dean Riesen, he has made constructive attempts to set up a system of advisers and tests for undecided freshmen. He is chairman of a state-wide guidance and testing program, which he hopes will prove to be only the iirst step in a universal senior testing service. A quiet, unassuming man, he nevertheless proceeds Erm- ly along a path marked out by his own definite, liberal educational philosophy. 18
