IQ30 CACTUS ' I ' here ' s nothing in the world but Law- It all our lives must fill. Whatever has the smallest Haw Is something on the hill. That ' s Ilildy. SCHCCL Cf LAW THE School of Law was established in 1883. The goal of the Law faculty has been since its founding the development of a law school which would be second to none. This year finds among those en- rolled, students from more than one-half of the states of the nation, many of whom are transfers from Northern and Eastern Universities with degrees from those schools. The requirements for entering have been raised from a high school education until now two years of academic work, most of the courses being prescribed, are necessary. Plans for the future include the raising of this requirement to three years of academic work. The faculty is nationally recognized to be of the highest order. The library of law books is the best in the South, and compares favorably with any in the United States. The Texas Law Review, under the supervision of the Law School, is widely recognized and cited in ref- erence to Texas law and law throughout the country.

IQ3Q CACTUS A calmness that is not quite sure, A truly solemn mien, A pen that makes the Freshmen fewer, An almost perfect dean — That ' s Parlin COLLEGE CE AETS AND SCIENCES THE College of Arts and Sciences is the outgrowth of the Academic Depart- ment, 1883-1891, Department of Litera- ture, Science, and Arts, 1891-1906, Col- lege of Arts, 1906-1921, at which last date the word Science was added to the title of the College. The College of Arts and Sciences has always been the largest department of the University, both in size of the students enrolled and in the size of the faculty. It has grown from six divisions in 1883, teaching eight subjects, until now it has twenty departments, teaching more than forty major subjects. These courses not only offer the student a good general education, but also present the opportunity of preparing for the advanced study of law, medicine, pharmacy, business administration, engineering, and theology. In fact, this work of preparing students for fields of work other than purely academic training has grown to such an extent that more than one-half of the faculty of this college is now devoted to it.

1930 C VCTUS He thinks B. Hall an issue still, He pulls the tremolo; His hero is our Uncle Bill — He ' s always on the go. Thai ' s T. U. COLLEGE CE ENGINEERING DURING the early years of the Univer- sity, the only engineering course to be given was that of Civil Engineering, and this was included in the Department of Mathematics in the College of Arts and Sciences. It was not until 1895 that the En- gineers were enrolled in a separate school. Electrical and Mining Engineering were added in 1903, but in 1914 the latter was discontinued in the University and transferred to the College of Mines and Metallurgy in El Paso. Chemical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Architecture were added about fifteen years ago. In 1922 the title, Department of Engineering, was changed to College of Engineering. T. U. Taylor was elected adjunct professor of Applied Mathematics in 1888, with the en- gineering courses under his supervision. He has continued from this date to the present time to be the head of the Engineering Department and has been its Dean since the formation of the College of Engineering as a separate division of the University. Under Dean Taylor, the College of Engineering has achieved national recognition and has grown until now it has a building of its own and has been forced to hold classes in three other buildings on the campus, due to the great increase in the number of students taking the various engineering courses.
