SCI-IOGL OF LAW The Law School of the University of South Dakota was established by an act of the legislature in 1901, and an ap- propriation made for library needs suf- ficient to install a library of five thou- sand volumes. Thomas Sterling, of Redfield, was elected Dean of the school by the Regents of Education, and the school was assigned quarters in the west wing of Main Hall. Most of the instruction during the first year was given by Dean Sterling, assisted by local attorneys. Arthur Sponholz was graduated in 1902, the first student to receive the degree of LL. B. at the University. In 1903 there were six graduates, and from that time the attendance increased until the Law school has become one of the major departments of the University. In the fall of 1902, Marshall McKusick, now Dean, was added to the faculty as an assistant professor. The equipment of the Law school was increased from time to time, both in library facilities and in its faculty. The library at present comprises over 12,000 volumes. Marshall McKusick, Dean . ! L. W.

COYOTE 1.9 3 4 COLLEGE OE EINE ARTS By action of the Board of Regents in 1931, the courses in Music, which had formerly been offered in the College of Music, and the courses in Dramatic Art and in Allied Arts which had formerly been offered in the College of Arts and Sciences, were all united in one college to be known as the College of Fine Arts. For a good many years prior to 1931, no work in Applied Art had been offered at the University except the courses in Design and Interior Decorat- ing. ' The new course in Drawing and Painting, taught by L. C. Mitchell, has attracted a large registration during the past two years. Students may now take a four-year course in Dramatic Art, or in Painting and Allied Arts, as well as in Music, and obtain the degree Bachelor of Fine Arts. Winfred R. Colton, Dean E. M.

COYOTE 1934 SCHOOL QP MEDICINE Although the fall of 1907 is given as the official s date of the opening of the School of Medicine, the introduction of the school was the result of a gradual growth, as four of the medical courses were already being given in the College of Arts and Sciences, and it was necessary only to add additional courses in order to qualify for a two-year school. The first dean of the school, Christian Peter Dr. J. C. Ohlmacher Lomrnen, beloved by all who knew him, served the Acting Dean school faithfully and efficiently until the time of his death on July 8, 1926. Dean Lommen, with the assistance of Doctor Spaliord of the Board of Regents, and Dr. Thomas Cruickshanlc, outlined the courses and decided upon the policy of the school. Upon the death of Dean Lommen, Dr. G. R. Albertson assumed the deanship, holding it until his death in 1931. The School of Medicine is a member of the Association of American Medical Colleges, and is rated as a class A school by that organization. i J. C. Ohlmacher H. V. Atkinson Thomas Cruickshanlc Mrs. H.
