SITUATED in the southeast corner of the University campus stands the building which should hold a supreme charm for a large percentage of the young men of Florida (students and prospective students), because it is there that the future engineers of Florida and the nation are given the theory necessary to produce the most efficient and valuable “builders of a nation ' With such men as Dean Benton, Dr. McGhee, Dr. Chandler, and Prof. Thoroughgood as heads of their respective departments, the Engineering College can feel justly proud of its faculty. These men, ably assisted by the best professors of the Arts and Sciences College, together with their own assistants, are getting results superior to those of any other college on the campus. The courses offered lead to the degree of Bachelor of Science in the following branches; civil, mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineering. In all the departments are laboratories and instruments amply sufficient to give the student an insight into the practical as well as the theoretical side of engineering. In the present great war of nations the most important branch of the service is that of the engineers, and the war department is almost daily sending admonitions to the student engineers to complete their courses so as to be of the most benefit to the government. After the war it will depend largely on the quality of the practicing engineers as to how soon the stricken parts of Europe are rebuilt and the world set on its feet again. thirteen

BORN in 1908 to fill a void, that void a need for some properly conducted institution effectively to prepare young men for the practice of law, fed on the most virile manhood in Florida, developed by the infinite care of the faculty, working out it own criterions of education, the Law College has in nine years evolved an individuality and a versatility and a standard beyond any other Southern law college. Just within the entrance to the campus you find the lordly Law Building with the Tudor-Gothic type of architecture. Within this magnificent structure, exclusively devoted to law instructions, is all the necessary equipment for a perfectly appointed law college—complete library, consultation alcoves, practice court room, lecture, class and club rooms, and offices for each of the resident professors, all equipped with the best grade of furniture. The Law College has a standard three-year course of study, leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Law and Juris Doctor. This course is a blend of practical and theoretical, substantive and adjective law, designed to draw out the argumentative and forensic powers of students and to develop lawyers that get results. It has appropriated every good feature that other law colleges have to offer. The Law College is peculiarly the correct college for the prospective luwyer. Its location is in the heart of a coming state, and opportunity still beckons every man of talent. It is also the democratic college, since human kindness finds expression here in friendship—“The sweetest flower that blooms along the dusty highway of life —for the faculty and the students are in constant inspirational companionship. Here is found no thraldom to the past, only spiritual freedom and forward impulse and vivid hope of great achievement in the future. Here “the thought of our past years breeds wisdom. Here appears “the baby figure of the giant-mass of things to come at large. Here are disciples of the law. Here is the law: The hope of all who suffer. The dread of all who wrong. fifteen
