I would compromise glory. I would compromise everything at that point where hate comes in, where misery comes in, where love ceases to be love, and life begins its descent into the valley of the shadow of death. But I would not compromise Truth. I would not compromise the right. UeAN JuLlEN C MON ' XET THIS Law School was organized in the fall of 1909 in response to a statewide demand for it. From the start an attempt was made to adopt the latest and best law school practices, such as the use of the case system, the employment of instructors who should devote their whole time to the work, etc. While the school was still young the legislature voted an appropriation for a law school building which, as built, is one of the best law school buildings in the United States. The problem of an ade- quate law library at first seemed insuperable but reasonable annual appropriations followed by a wise exchange law by which our legal publications were exchanged for those of other states and with legal publishers caused the library to grow by leaps and bounds until now the entire library space is filled with books and the overflow is encroaching upon the reading room proper. I ater the book loft will be used. Standards have been advanced from mere high school requirements to junior standing in the uni- versity. Attendance has grown so rapidly that it is now a serious problem to handle the large enrol- ment. The curriculum attempts to cover generally and locally the main body of practical working legal principles. The alumni have been successful lawers and important factors in the material and political progress of the State. Dean Monnet, who has given the best years of his life, in giving Oklahoma its high ranking law school, bears the deserved love and esteem of all the Sooners.
