THE COLLEGE OF LAW HE College of Law was organized and opened in September, 1897, offering a three-year course of training. In 1911, the entrance requirement was made one year of eollege work, and in 1915 it was increased to two years. Since 1929, admission has been granted only to graduates of colleges and universities of approved stand- ing and to students in the University of Illinois of senior standing, the latter being permitted to elect, courses in law for the degree of Bachelor of Arts or for the degree of Bachelor of Science. The College of Law aims to prepare students for the legal profession, but in doing so it seeks also to promote legal scholarship and research, to develop an appreciation of the highest ideals of the profession, and to inspire the consciousness of the lawyer's responsibility to society. In response to an increasing demand for specialization in the practice of law, the College of Law has adopted a curriculum which permits a student to ground himself in the fundamentals of law, and yet specialize in any particular field of law into which he wishes to go. 1 Law Building f . 1 'I i fi if mf F in if N ei if i it X n at ' tif it - K Q , v L .. .. f , t .. 1 .. ., -'El Page 27 lil'- - fart f l Wilt
