FACULTY 1935 YACKETY YACK THE SCHOOL OF APPLIED SCIENCE The School of 7 pphed Science was founded in order to give special training to those students of the natural sciences who propose to make some branch of science their life ' s work. It was es- tablished in 1901, and first offered courses in mining. In 1904 it was expanded to include special curricula for students in Chemistry, Elec- tricity, Civil Engineering, Mining and Metallurgy. Later curricula were oiTered for students who proposed to enter Dentistry and Medicine.

30 1935 YACKETY YACK FACULTY THE SCHOOL OF LAW The Law School, which has developed into the School of Law of the LTniversity of North Carolina, was founded at Chapel Hill in 1843 as a private school by William H. Battle, then a judge of the Superior court. In 1845, Judge Battle was made Professor of Law in the Univer- sity, and it was provided that the degree of Bach- elor of Laws should be conferred on those com- pleting the prescribed two-year course. For a long time the school maintained a certain inde- pendence from the University and students in law were not entirely subject to the discipline of the University. In 1899, the school was com- pletely incorporated into the LTniversity, with the late James C. McRae as the first Dean of the Law School. The School of Law is a member of the Asso- ciation of American Law Schools and has been listed as one of sixty-five schools classed as ap- proved law schools.

32 1935 YACKETY YACK FACULTY y- )- THE GRADUATE SCHOOL Interest in research and advanced learning ac- companied the origin and history of the Univer- sity. General William R. Davie included gradu- ] ate work in his project of the institution, and post- graduate work in certain courses was undertaken : before the Civil War regulations governing it • ' , being incorporated in the catalogue of 1854. Up- { on the reopening of the University after the War, - the plan for a graduate school was formulated — ; in the year 1876 — at the same time as the foun- ) dation of Johns Hopkins. The School was given a Dean in 1904. It was reorganized in 1919-1920 ) under the leadership of Dr. Greenlaw and a spe- ■; cial committee, and experienced an impressive j development, as was indicated by the election of ■: the University to membership in the Association j of American Universities in 1922. J The Graduate school finds its province in the ; fostering of research, in training students to be- ' come investigators and teachers in special fields of learning, in the application of research meth- ods to the problems of society and industry, and in supplying opportunity for further study by those who have already completed a college course. It is in these four fields that the Gradu- ate School of the University of North Carolina does its work. ENGLISH DEPARTMENT Front Row: Taylor, Booker, Thrall, Coffnian, Bond. Paine.
