I, -NTEREST in research and advanced study accompanied the foundation and history of the University. It is a mat- ter of tradition that William R. Davie included graduate work in his project of the institution. Postgraduate instruction leading to a degree in course was undertaken prior to the Civil War, regulations governing it being in- corporated in the catalogue of 1854. Upon the reopening of the University after the war, the plan for a graduate school w as formulated. The degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy were conferred in 1883. The office of Dean was created in 1904. The graduate school was reorganized in 1919-1920, and experienced an im- pressive development. In 1922 the University was elected to membership in the Association of American Universi- ties. TTTTW

VV HEN the University opened its doors in 1795 the first student to enter was Hinton James of Wilmington, who, after a brilliant career as a student, engaged in the practice of engineering. His breadth of interests here, ranging from astronomy to Wforld commerce, was a fitting beginning for the broad cultural training which the insti- tution has provided since that time for leaders in the con- structive development of the resources of the State and Nation. In 1852 the School for the Application of Sci- ence to the Arts was founded, which by 185 7 registered 69 students. Then came Civil War and Reconstruction, but with the reopening of the University in 1875 a Col- lege of Engineering was established. In 1 904 Engineering became a division of the new School of Applied Science, and in 1922 the present School of Engineering was organ- ized. The School of Engineering offers standard four- year curricula leading to the degrees of Bachelor of Sci- ence in Chemical, Civil, Electrical and Mechanical Engi- neering. AV. J.

THE SCHOOL OF LAW » I..R Faciltv or Law School 1 Row: McCall. McIntosh, VaxHecke. Chadbif Top Hok: Wettach. Mi lukii, Coats, Haxft. T, HE Law School, which has developed into the School of Law of the University 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 Bachelor of Laws should be conferred on those completing the pre- scribed two-year course. For a long time the School maintained a certain independence from the University and students in law were not entirely subject to the dis- cipline of the University. In 1899, the school was com- pletely incorporated into the University, with the late James C. McRae as the first Dean of the Law School. The School of Law is a member of the Association of American Law Schools and has been listed as one of the sixty-five schools classed as approved law schools . Miss Lucy Evans. Secretary rmr
