AH m crnrTiH] Tlif law library is now the most eoiii- plctf ill the Northwest and proves a popular place for study. The moot court room, too, provides realism to the procedure classes and to the mock trials held by the embryo lawyers. The north entrance to Commerce Hall has been appropriated by the cane carriers, and between classes the men make a rush for these steps, even as the A. B. ' s seek out the approach to Denny Hall. The law department has been exceed- ingly fortunate in the retaining of its faeult} ' , which, with the exception of the loss of Leslie J. Ayer, has been in- tact for a number of vears. Hdici ' ii Lantz C. P. Bissrit College Of Engineering THE College of Engineering was one of the earliest in the university to return to a pre-war basis, and is at present offering all of the regular courses of normal times. A detailed study of curricida and courses was made by the engineering faculty in 1916 aud 1917, and the changes made then, as a result of their investigations, are now being made in the engineering schools throughout the country. Students at present are being given an opportunity to elect courses during their senior year on a much more lil)eral scale than heretofore. Several new courses are being planned for the fall nuarter that will greatly broaden the scope of the college. Perhaps the most unique departure from the old order will be in the offering of a course in aeronautical engineering. A completely equipped aero- nautical laboratory, a gift to the University from fr. Boeing, is rapidly near- iug completion and will be placed at the disposal of the students by the commencement of the new school year. A large quantity of thoroughly up-to-date equipment has been ordered for the radio department and will be installed immediately. Additional attention will also be given to marine engineering and naval architecture. The I ' niversitv of Washington is ideallv situated for the haiid- PAGE 17

It was a mei e handful of students sit- ting about the wielders of the bow that produced mournful sounds on the bass viol, but that handful represented the mighty laws reasserting themselves as the cream of the school. It brought us back to the days when such an assembly was incomplete without the bass drum in the hands of Ed Frank- lin seconding every nomination or punctuating each sentence. It was a real rejuvenation, too. It happened that the greater percentage of those who were fortunate enough to get an early discharge from the servic- consisted of lawyers, wiiich was ac- counted for. perhaps, by their talking ability. The new home on the top floor of Commerce Hall awaited them. While there were only twelve students enrolled in the department during the war, conditions were almost normal at the beginning of the third quarter of 1919. Picking up the old tradition of senior law canes is accredited to thr mm that came back after their term of service. The mustaches that usually went with these sticks were not forthcoming, however, and it is rumored that natuif would not have it thus with this class. At any rate, the senior law feels lost without his cane, and the mahogany stick with the wiiite initials ami the let- ters Senior Law, 1919, is his most prized possession. There were more women in the School of Law in 191!) than at any jirevious time. Almost two dozen members of the female sex aspired to become up- holders of our legal .statutes, and indications point to an increase next yeai. The department organizations became active and the Washington Law Asso- ciation began a brilliant career. The honor Iratiinities I ' hi Delta Phi.
