STATE BAR EXAMINATION CLIMAXES YEARS’ WORK Occupying a wing of the air-conditioned M. D. Anderson Memorial Library, the College of Law was organized in 1947. The law library has approximately 34,500 volumes, including substantially all of the reported decisions in the United States and England. The college’s method of instruction is designed to enable graduates to practive law wherever the Anglo-American system of law prevails.
