JLhE beginning of medical instruction at the University of North Carolina dates back to 1879, when Dr. Thomas W. Harris conducted here a medical class under the preceptorial method of instruction with the assistance of certain University departments. The school was discontinued in 1886. In 1890 the present School of Medicine was founded under the direction of Dr. Richard H. Whitehead, and in 1900 became incorporated into the Univer- sity as a fully organized two year medical school. Since that date the School has had an uninterrupted record of service to the State, has continued to grow in influence throughout the State and Nation, and has won for itself a record among medical educators for the excellence and thoroughness of its work. In 1898 it was admitted to membership into the Association of American Medical Colleges, and is ranked in Class A group of American Medical Schools. Over 600 of the 2300 practicing physicians in North Carolina today are alumni of the institution, and they include and have included many of the most prominent and influential physicians in North Carolina.

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

THE SCHOOL OF LIBRARY SCIENCE JL HE School of Library Science of The University of North Carolina opened in September 1931. Courses in Library Science had been offered since 1904. A grant from the Car- negie Corporation, however, made it possible to establish a professional school offering a one-year curriculum leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts in Library Science. The School is accredited by the American Library Association. It trains librarians for public, school, college and university libraries. The principal requirement for admission is a bachelor ' s degree from an accredited college or university or senior standing in this insti- tution. Beginning virith the Summer Session of 1935, the regular curriculum is being offered through consecutive summers. This enables teachers who desire to become librarians and can only secure their training in the summer, an opportunity to complete a full-year course. It also provides an opportunity for partially trained librarians to complete their training. With the reorganization of the University into divisions, the School became a member of the Division of the Library and Library School. Although only in its fifth year, graduates of the School are in libraries in seventeen states and the District of Columbia. February 18, 1936.
