College are located in Louisville, and have a high rank in the legal pro- fession of the city. Within the last year the corps of instructors has been increased, and the mode of teaching has been supplemented by the best modern methods employed at Harvard, Columbia, and other universities of prominence. From these few words it will be seen that the old and reputable Law College of the University of Louisville has kept pace with . progress, and that it is a worthy coadjutor of the medical college in training young men for useful and honorable professional life. Judge W. O. Harris is Dean of the College of Law, and with his Faculty stands high in the respect and confidence of Louisville. a4 The Academic Department was added to the University of Louisville in 1907, to carry out the founders’ original design of establishing depart- ments for the promotion of science, literature, and the liberal arts. It is the higher ideal of education and the standard set by the higher institu- tions of learning which chiefly effect the best education in a community, for the elevating principles of knowledge and culture paradoxically oper- ate from the top down, and not from the bottom up. Reform, if needed in our preparatory and secondary academies, can only be assured by the possession of a college of lofty ideals and learning, radiating invigorating light and the warmth of emulation to the lower schools. Recognizing this fact, the larger cities of the United States, and among them Louisville, are rapidly developing within their own communities signi® :ant and effec- tive university centers. — The College of Arts of the University of Louisville does not claim to rival the older and longer-established colleges, but it does claim to have an adequate equipment and a good Faculty, competent to give instruction in courses which lead to an honorable baccalaureate degree. The require- ments for admission to the college conform to an approved standard, and credit will not be given for work done elsewhere than in a college of good standing, nor will credit be given for work done in absentia or by corres- pondence. The master’s degree will, for the present, be granted only in the departments of Greek, Latin, English, French, German, History, Pure Mathematics, Biology, and Chemistry. The doctorate will not be granted until the college is better equipped with laboratories and libraries. The college, as a guarantee of serviceable work, has a Faculty which numbers among its members men whose reputation for learning and teaching abili- ty is excellent among scholars. The college expects to add during the year 1910-11 an Engineering School in charge of two Engineers familiar with the co-operative plan in use at the University of Cincinnati. The college also hopes to increase its Faculty by a professor of Philosophy and Psychology; a head of the French Department, and possibly by a Professor of Geology and Botany. DEAN PATTERSON.

Alma Mater Alma Mater, we thy children, Alma Mater, when we leave thee, Trusting, to thy guidance turn; Still thy hfe shall in us beat, Wise and patient, strong and tender, Onward shall we bear thy colors, Teach us well, thy praise to earn ; In the race untired and fleet. From the wells of purest knowledge, Strong and patient,—thine the glory Slake the thirsts that in us burn, In each triumph we shall meet, And with bread of thought sustain us Unto thee our garlands bringing, In the quests whereto we yearn. We will lay them at thy feet. EK. A. M. Medical Department—First Street Building 18
