SCHOOL The entire campus mourned the loss in August, 1941, of Carl F. Arnold, former dean of the Law School. At the time of his death he was engaged in defense work in the national capital. The work of the Law School has two objectives: (i) Training for the professional practice of the law; and (2) Training for fields related to the law in engineering, business and accounting, and government. The University of Wyoming law school was admitted in 1920 to the Association of American Law Schools and is approved by the American Bar Association. The Wyoming law school has one of the finest working libraries in the region and one of the best equipped. While enrollment in the law school is necessarily small so that only the most competent can enter the practice, the number of students combining law with other courses is large. The Law School is located on the third floor of the Library building. On the wall above the judge ' s bench is the most noted mural on the campus. PAGE THIRTEEN
