College of Commerce The training afforded by the College of Commerce rests designedly upon broad theoretical foundations. Emphasis is placed upon basic principles and facts with a view to preparation for business in general rather than for specific lines of economic endeavor. Four years of college work often fail clearly to reveal to the student committed to a business career what specific branch of business he is best fitted to pursue. Trial made in the light of general training is so frequently- requisite to intelligent decision as to strengthen the conviction that highly specialized training for business is often misdirected effort. The student of the College of Commerce, it remains to add, looks upon a business career as a career of satisfaction achieved through cordial cooperation and eager service, in connection with which the pecuniary phases of life are not allowed to dwarf and over-shadow the cultural, social, and ethical. An augmented livelihood should be viewed as an open door to an enlarged and ennobling life. DEAN i-i Page 24

i i n t i r t i T T i i T i College of Law The College of Law, founded in 1865, is the oldest law school located west of the Mississippi river, and is one of the few acknowledged leaders of legal education in America. Its distinction is apparent in its alumni body, its building and equipment, and in its student body. Its graduates occupy positions of high honor and responsibility not only in Iowa but in many other states. Among the more noted of its alumni are the governors of three states, judges of supreme courts in twelve states, numerous federal judges, and three United States senators. The law building is one of the three or four best of its kind in America. The law school library numbers over thirty-two thousand volumes and contains substantially all of the reports of the United States, England, Ireland, and Canada as well as reports of Scotland and Australia. The student body is famous for hard work, high ideals, and loyalty to the University. The Iowa Law Students Association and the Law Jubilee are institutions highly approved by both the student body and the faculty by reason of the service which they render to the law school and to the University.
