College of Law ITH an enrollment of 605, the College of Law is closing its tenth year since it became a department of the University. Each year has shown a marked increase of students. Mere figures are at best uninteresting, but the following data tell the almost phenomenal growth since its affiliation with this University: For the year ending 1905, 61 students, 1906, 93 students, 1907, 123 students, 1908, 167 studentsg 1909, 235 stu- dentsg 1910, 333 students, 1911, 385 studentsg 1912, 480 students, 1913, 530 students, 1914, 605 students. The College of Law and its Alumni are planning many interesting affairs for Commencement Week in celebration of its tenth anniversary since becoming a department of the University. It will be, in great part, a reunion, or home- coming, of its Alumni, and the utmost endeavor is being put forth to make this occasion a big success. In presenting the College of Law and its claims for recognition, I will extend to its disciples a welcome in the words of the grand old common law lawyer, Coke, The gladsome light of jurisprudence, the loveliness of temper- ance, the stability of fortune, and the solidity of Justice. He further said, Upon knowledge of law and upon its intelligent and certain administration depends the whole value of personal rights and social order. Without the administration of law there would be virtually no law. The judicial function necessarily includes a Bar skilled in the processes of the law. This is the busi- ness of a lifetime for which society at large has no leisure. Therefore, the necessity of a body of men trained in the knowledge of the law, charged with the peaceable protection of every public right of the state, and with the security and order of society. Law is no mere trade. It is not the road to Wealth. The law may honor its disciples, in the practice of the profession and more particu- larly in public life, because their profession fits them for service to their state. The lawyer must work like a horse. He may live well. He will probably die poor. Law often honors, but seldom enriches its disciples. FRANK M. Poivriziz, LL.M. 1 5 ---W ww. J'-Mgf e I NSS-Q

College of Dentistry HE profession of dentistry offers to bright young men and women one of the most pleasant, as well as profitable vocations, and as now practiced is divided into a number of specialties, all of which are intensely inter- esting and sufliciently broad to require all the skill and knowledge one possesses. They are so diversified that one may choose that to which his skill is best suited. The recent awakening of the medical profession, as well as the public at large, to the importance of oral hygiene has created a great demand for dental services, and there are not sufficient dentists to give the proper prophylactic or preventive treatment, to say nothing of the restoring of the losses caused by decay or extraction. ' Many of the scientific problems confronting the profession are still unsolved, and there is a wonderful field for scientific research. Mechanical or reparative features of the profession possess and demand a great deal of ingenuity and manipulative dexterity. The College of Dentistry, University of Southern California, now in the eighteenth year of its existence, has one of the best teaching faculties in the United States. Its scientific, as well as mechanical, laboratories and infirmary are completely equipped in every respect, and we are prepared to teach the latest and best methods of treatment and mechanical procedure. The new dental college building, which the Board of Trustees propose to erect during thc coming summer, will be occupied exclusively by the Department of Dentistry and will have three times the amount of Hoor space we now occupy, and contain all the latest improvements and conveniences for the teaching of modern dentistry. This department will then be amply able to take care of its greatly increasing enrollment. The location at Sixteenth and Los Angeles Streets is in the direct line of the growth of the city and is close to the College of Medicine and Polytechnic High School, where the social intercourse amongst this great number of students is sure to be most pleasant.
