Dean William Edward Masterson THE COLLEGE OF LAW A great many active lawyers of the state have been “most agreeably surprised” upon investigation of the Law School of the University of Idaho. With an almost entirely new faculty this year, the aim of the school to give a knowledge of the fundamental legal principles and to develop the power of independent legal reasoning and analysis has been realized to a greater degree than ever before. A thorough professional training is what the school gives and it does it in a way that meets with the highest requirements of the American Bar Association and the Association of American Schools. Up to the present time this rating has been given to only a limited number of law schools in America. The minimum curricula covers a period of three school years and gives preparation for the practice of law in any American state. Size and facilities weigh strongly in the school’s favor. Dean William Edward Masterson, M.A., LL.B., $.J.D., LL.D., brings to the Idaho Law School a training and experience far above the ordinary. He became dean this year after serving one year as associate professor of law in the University.

Dean Edward John Iddings THE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE The College of Agriculture is not only adequately equipped with laboratory and class-room facilities, but has a well- trained and highly efficient faculty. In every field of agricul- ture, the Idaho institution is a recognized leader. The University has 612 acres of land at Moscow with which to work, and in four other places in the state are large experi- mental tracts which total 700 acres. The College of Agricul- ture is one of the divisions of the University separate from the junior college system, for it gives a four-year course which culminates in the degree of B.S.(Agr.). During their first two years all students take the same course and then they may major in almost any of the numerous branches of agriculture. The result is a trained leader for research, for extension, and for many other forms of public activity. The University is particularly fortunate in having Edward John Iddings, M.S., to administer the work of the College of Agriculture. He directs the extension and experimental work with a high effectiveness, and advises both students and faculty members of the College with a fine insight and understanding. Page 26

Dean Ivan Charles Crawford THE COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING Tia be adept in any of the various fields of engineering, it is necessary to have a thorough training in highly specialized and advanced courses. The University of Idaho ranks high among schools which give this scientific training. In well equipped laboratories and shops, students most competently instructed are given training in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical. Chemical, or Agricultural Engineering. In the work of the school almost every department of the University is utilized to give practical and experimental work to the students. The plan of courses is so arranged that the first two years are occupied with general preparation in engineering and the sciences and the last two with professional work. Dean Ivan C. Crawford, C.E., who is serving his seventh year as the head of the school, has been identified with every move of progress of the University. To Idaho he is a distinct asset. Page 28
