Scfzaal of IDHMUCRA-'XCY'S FORT is the School of Law. XYords made timely by the European crises of today were xvritten for the 1937 Dacotah by Dean O. H. Thormodsgard. They bear repeating. In an autocracy or dictatorship the need for lawyers is limited. In a representative form of government, however, democracy cannot survive xvithout layvyers, for the spirit of a free republic is laxv. The object of this laxv is to secure liberty for the individual and at the same time to control DEAN O. H. THORMODSGARD it, to give security and equal rights to all. Under a representative government, the individual should be protected against uncontrolled discre- tion on the part of government officials: he should have the right to be tried before independent judges and unbiased jurors: and he should have the opportunity to secure the counsel ul- trained men in lan '... An orderly government cannot exist ivithout this reign. This, wrote Dean Thormodsgard, is the func- tion of the law school - to train those men and women whose work it is to protect the individual in his personal and civil rights. A member of the Association of ,Nmericrui Law Schools. the University Law School is also approved by the Council on Legal Education of the American Bar Association.
