E3i.T3f3? A 1 s , THE OGDEN GRADUATE .:,., SCHOOL OF SCIENCE .,.Q 1, The Ogden Graduate School of Science was planned by William Rainey Harper, our first President, in 1891, the year before instruction began at the University. The trustees of the estate of YVilliam B. Ogden advanced about S3oo,ooo in 1893, and by subsequent gifts running over a period of twenty years, in- creased the endowment to about ,Z6oo,ooo. Some of the most distinguished scientific men in America have been members of the Faculty of the Ogden Graduate School of Science, and the various departments today rank high among Science departments in American Universities. A word about plans for the immediate future may be of interest. The Graduate School of Medicine is to be developed as a part of the Ogden Graduate School of Science. As soon as the new Hospital west of Cobb Hall is ready for occupancy, the complete medical course will be given at the University. Dean Henry G. Gale received his A.B. and Ph.B. at the University of Chicago in 1896 and 1899 respectively. He has since taught here and has conducted re- search in the field of Physics at the Carnegie Institution, Mount Wilson, Cali- fornia. He became dean of the Ogden Graduate School of Science in 1922. THE LAW SCHOOL The Law School, now completing its twenty-fourth year, has about the same number of students as for several years past-that is, from three hundred and twenty-five to three hundred fifty enrolled in any one quarter, and from four hundred and fifty different students in residence during the year. Professor George Gleason Bogert, dean of the Cornell University College of Law, joined the Law Faculty in the Autumn Quarter, teaching Sales and part of the Property and Pleading courses. The Illinois Law Review, taken over in IQ24-25 as the joint publication of the three university law schools of the state, Chicago, Illinois, and Northwestern, is nearly through its second year under this combined management. The board of editors, composed of certain members of the Faculty and honor students chosen from each school, has kept it in the front rank of legal periodicals of its class. This joint effort on the part of the three schools has promoted friendly relationships between them, has bettered their cooperation in improving legal educa- tion and the law of the state, and has stimulated critical and productive work on the part of both faculty and students. Dean James P. Hall received his A.B. from Cornell University in 1894 and his L.L.B. from Harvard University in 1897. He practiced law in Buffalo, N. Y., and taught in the Buffalo Law School, and in Leland Stanford Junior University before coming to the University of Chicago in IQO2. He was made dean of the Law School in 1904.

He has M been chairman of the Department of Psychology here since IQZO. Dr. Judd has held membership in many if honorary societies of Education and Psychology. 52.1 The College of Education, like many other in- 1 - 'sl stitutions, has passed through several periods of de- DEAN JUDD ,i velopment. At the time of organization in 19o1, its chief purpose was to train teachers for elementary schools. Colonel Francis W. Parker, its first director, was imbued with the idea that education could be made cl more practical and vital. He accordingly set vigorously about the task of prepar- ing lteachers to carry out hisb ideals. TUnfortunately his career ended before his QI, wor was much more than egun. he Hrst decade following his death was a MQ period of rapid expansion. The number of members of the faculty, the range of llj' courses, and the number of registrations all increased very rapidly. Special effort ii was made to provide both the subject matter and professional courses needed in 1,-1 training general elementary teachers and teachers of special subjects. l-1:1 . - . lf? The period from 1912 to 1922 was a period of readjustments. ln the first place, arrangements were made whereby all prospective teachers in secondary schools should register in the Colleges of Arts, Literature and Science, taking such HQ, . professional courses in the College of Education as they needed. In the second place, the granting of certificates was gradually discontinued. ln the third place, HES' all subject-matter courses, inc uding those in Art and Home Economics were transferred to the Colleges of Arts, Literature and Science. This change made TTU it possible for the College of Education to devote its energy entirely to professional A 1 courses. , At the present time, the College of Education M - Y provides for the professional needs of prospective W kindergarten-primary teachers, prospective supervis- 131 ors, critic teachers, principals and superintendents, and prospective teachers of Education in normal ll, schools, colleges and universities. By far the largest ij, number of students to whom professional courses are ,Il given are prospective teachers in secondary schools and in colleges. Dean William S. Gray, Ph.D., is professor of Ed- Ml ucation and dean of the College of Education. He took ll, his S.B. at the University of Chicago in 1913, his A.M. at Columbia University in 1914, and his Ph.D. at the V1 University of Chicago in 1916. Dean Gray was prin- cipal of the Training School of Illinois State Normal ' ' University before coming to Chicago. He has been DEAN GRAY an acting dean since 1917.

A .y , .., , - t i f ,,...,. -.... ri The Divinity School is one of the graduate l i schools of the University, its entrance require- ,i ments being the same as those of the Grad- uate School of Arts, Literature, and Science. i It prepares its students not only for pastorate Ml and missionary work, but for teaching. At Hi the present time there are over one hundred llc and fifty of its former students teaching in about one hundred theological schools, and ' several teaching in colleges. There are in the 1, mission field hundreds of men and women who ig: have studied here, especially while on furlough. li The School believes in the harmony of re- DEAN Marnrws lg, ligion and science, when each is properly con- II, ceived. It has always been regarded as one of the leaders in the modernist move- Qal Inellt and as a champion of absolute freedom of teaching. lt Dean Shailer Mathews, A.M., D.D., L.L.D., studied at Colby College, Oberlin, all Brown University, Pennsylvania College and Miami University. He came to fi the University of Chicago in 1894. He was made dean of the Divinity School lli in IQO8. He is a professor of Historical and Comparative Theology and is Chair- man of the Department of Systematic Theology. lg, THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OE ARTS, li AND LITERATURE lgil This School conducts graduate work in nineteen departments of the Uni- l'll versity. These fall into two groups: CID The social service and Czj the linguistic ltfj and literary group. To the former belong the departments of Philosophy, Psy- gj, chology, Education, Political Economy,Political Science, History, Art, Sociology, lil Home Economics., and Comparative Religion, to the latter, the departments of lily Oriental Languages and Literatures, New Testament and Early Christian Lit- llll, erature, Comparative Philology, Greek, Latin, Romance, German, English, and QQ., General Literature. L73 One of the chief aims of the School has always been to train students in methods 1 of research, and there is a strong tendency at present on the part of the Commis- sion of Graduate Schools to increase still furtherthe emphasis on research. ln doing J l this the Commission has not lost sight of the fact that an important function of the l Graduate Schoolis to provide instructors for the colleges l 1 i U and universities of the country. lt is the opinion of the 9 l Commission that none but those trained in investiga- tion can render competent service in collegiate and university teaching. The Dean of the School is Gordon Laing. He is y a graduate of the University of Toronto CA.B.j and of John Hopkins University CPh.D.l. He came to the University first in 1899,and was a member of the 1 Latin Department until 1921 when he resigned to accept the position of Professor of Classics and Dean l 1 of the Faculty of Arts in Msoiii UmvefSity,1v1Omea1. 2 He was recalled to the University of Cnicago in 1923 and since that time has been Dean of the Graduate School of Arts and Literature and Professor ' of Latin. Dean Laing is also the General Editor of DEAN Lame the University of Chicago Press. Page 27
