Law College DEAN H. R. TRUSLER, University of Michigan '06 fLL.B., A.M.D The college of law was established in 1909. Since that time important changes have taken place in the field of legal education. With these changes the Law College has kept pace.

To that end it seeks to develop legal scholarship, professional character, and to inspire an appreciation of the duties and respon- sibilities of a lawyer as a member of society. Page Twenty one
