The first semester found six hundred eighty-three students registered for instruction. Under the leadership of President Emeritus Kinley, the plans for this grouping were perfected in 1930, and were consummated by President Chase as one of his early tasks. Fine Arts had their inception upon the campus as early as May, 1868, when the Board of Trustees of the then struggling Illinois Industrial University instituted curricula including Architecture, Fine Arts, and Landscape Gardening. Music early made its appear- ance at the University, with the result that at the hrst commencement in 1872 the University Band furnished the music. The planning of years culminated in the formation of the present college, the early results of which promise increased attendance and support in the future.

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
