1 1 i Graduate Study Begun in 1892 on a small scale, the Graduate School since 1909 has operated with its own faculty. The school is administered by Dean Dayton D. McKean in conjunction with an executive committee appointed by the university. Advanced degrees are offered in 14 fields in addition to the doctor of philosophy and doctor of education degrees. The Graduate School program leading to an ad- vanced degree is not just another year or more of college work. Scholastic requirements are higher in graduate work than they are in most undergraduate colleges, and graduate students are expected to dem- onstrate maturity in their thinking and in their re- search and creative work. The school, in the fields it attempts to cover, offers a well-planned program designed to help the serious and ambitious student meet the ever-increasing complexities of modern life. EDWARD C. KING is dean of the Law School, one of the university's oldest and most highly recognized branches. Law The School of Law was organized in 1892. It now offers a six-semester program in the study of law with a three-year pre-law requirement. The degree of bachelor of laws is conferred on students who have satisfied entrance requirements and who have satisfactorily completed the six-semester cur- riculum in accordance with faculty regulations. The school has been a member of the Associa- tion of American Law Schools since the first meet- ing of the Association in 1901. The American Bar Association also includes the CU branch on its list of approved law schools. This approval is granted as a result of high scholastic standards, the main- tenance of a three-year law course requiring full- time resident study, a well-qualified faculty, ade- quate library facilities, and admission standards re- quiring at least three years of pre-law studies. Dean Edward C. King heads the school. WN.. DAYTON D. McKEAN, an experienced public ad- ministrator and author, is dean of the univer- sity's well-rounded and growing Graduate School.

Non-Academic In addition to the educational responsibilities the university has to its students, therelare also nu- merous non-academic operations which are a part of the institution. Norlin Library, the health cen- ter, counseling service, and the student activities center offer their services to all students. Admission of students, placement of graduates, veterans affairs, and relations with the alumni and the public in general are of great concern to the uni- versity. Maintenance of the buildings and grounds and direction of the dormitories are year-around jobs. In addition to their actual functions, many of these activities serve as opportunities for student employment. W. C. TOEPELMAN offers ad- vice to draft-conscious students. Military The university has three ROTC units which give basic and advanced training for the future officers of their respective branches of service. The De- partment of Military Science and Tactics offers training leading to a commission in an Engineer unit or a Medical unit. The NROTC program, one of 52 in the nation, leads to officers' commissions in the U.S. Navy or Marine Corps, U.S. Naval Reserve, or Marine Corps Reserve.
