Graduate School grad school ' s enrollment reaches all-time high Paralleling the rapid growth of the University is the growth of the CU Graduate School. Enrollment this year reached an all-time high of 1 ,400 on the Boulder campus, ac- cording to Dean Dayton McKean. The Grad School offers courses leading to ten master ' s degrees within 58 departments or programs. A graduate stu- dent may also receive one of four academic doctor ' s degrees offered within 46 departments. Admission into Grad School requires a baccalaureate de- gree or completion of work equivalent to that required for a bachelor ' s degree. This year, another indication of the growth of CU ' s Graduate School was an increase in fellowship grants for graduate students— from $20,000 to $30,000 for 1959-1960. Dean McKean is an alumni of the University, having re- ceived his B.A. and M.A. here. He received his Ph.D. from Columbia, and has been Dean of the Graduate School since 1952. Dean Dayton McKean

Edward C. King, Dean of the School of Law opens school year in new flenning law building School of Law I960 marks the twentieth year that Edward C. King has been Dean of the School of Law. When Colorado ' s Law School was opened in the fall of 1892, its number of part-time faculty members exceeded its enrollment of 23 students. There was no specific law building and there were no library facilities. Today, the situation is reversed. 163 students attend classes in the beautiful Fleming Law Building, occupied only since January of 1959. The modern library of this build- ing is the focal point for serious study, and now contains more than 60,000 volumes. Named in honor of John D. Fleming, former Dean of Law, the building was dedicated on June 24, 1959, with Chief Justice Earl Warren of the U.S. Supreme Court as the principal speaker. Among the many special features of this functional building are the Memorial Court Room, in use for actual as well as practice cases; the Legal Aid Suite, which offers the advice of advanced law students to those individuals who need, but cannot afford, counsel; the appellate and argument rooms; and a legal periodical lounge. The law school has various scholarships, grants-in-aid, and loan funds available to deserving students, awarded on the basis of financial need, scholarship, and character.
