Its opening was made possible by a gift from Mr. W. S. Speed and his sister, Mrs. F. M, Sackett. The Department of Technical Courses had opened in the Liberal Arts College in 1910. For a number of years Bennett M. Brigman, later to become dean of the Speed School, had been working on plans for an engineering school, and the plan which he developed and which now operates in the school has many out' standing features. One of these is the cofoperative system worked out on the quarterly basis. Under this plan the student spends part of his time each year in actual employment in an industry related' to his field of study. The school extends the use of lab' oratory facilities to the city of Louisville in connection with many engineering projects carried out by the municipal administration. In 1936 the Committee on Engineering Schools of the En' gineers' Council for Development gave the Speed Scientific School full accrediting. In 1932 the School of Music was opened as a successor to the Louisville Conservatory of Music. lt operated for three years on an experimental basis with the aid of the Juilliard Foundation of New York City. At the cnd of this period it was reorganized and removed to the Belknap Campus, where it has since operated as a fully recognized school of the University. It offers four year curricula to persons who meet the entrance requirements, and it provides opportunity for others to take work in the various phases of applied music. In 1936 it was placed on the accredited list of the National Association of Schools of Music. Throughout the experimental period of the School of Music, Mrs. B. Speed cofoperated by lending the school the music room of her home for use in the preparatory subjects and applied music. Her music room continues to be an asset of inestimable value to the school. In 1929 the Graduate School of the University of Louisville was formed by combining the graduate work in the School of Medicine with that which had been offered by the College of Liberal Arts since 1907. Graduate study is now offered by the Liberal Arts College, the School of Medicine, and the Speed Scientific School. The Graduate Division of Social Administration was opened in 1936 as a unit to offer professional preparation for social workers. Its curriculum was two years in length with the first year on the senior undergraduate level and the second year grad' uate. In 1937, the division was reorganized, and both years are now on the graduate basis. It grants the degree of Master of Science in Social Administration. In May, 1937 the division was fully accredited by the Amerif can Association of Schools of Social Work. It is one of thirty' eight schools in the United States and four in the South to have this status. The Division of Adult Education grew out of evening classes which were first offered by the College of Liberal Arts in 1928. As this work grew, the necessity for separate organization inf creased, and the division was set up in 1935. It gives no degrees. It is not a separate school, but an administrative unit set up to co-ordinate the special work of the Liberal Arts College and the other schools in the University in offering courses primarily for persons devoting most of their time to work outside of University studies. The Summer Session of the University was founded in 1922. Classes are offered by the College of Liberal Arts, the Graduate School, the School of Music, and the School of Law under the direction of the dean of each school and the Director of the Sum- mer Session. The Louisville Municipal College for Negroes was opened in 1931 on the grounds and in the buildings formerly used by Sim- mons University, a Negro institution of higher learning, char' tered in 1876. The purchase of the property and the remodeling were made possible partially by the bond issue voted on by the city of Louisville in 1925. Additional funds were donated by the General Education Board of the Rockefeller Foundation and by the Rosenwald Fund. The curriculum of the Municipal College has developed along much the same lines as that of the College of Liberal Arts. It was first a Junior College, but it later extended its course to four years. In 1936 it was recognized by the Southern Association of Col' leges and Secondary Schools as a fourfyear college with an A rating. Every school of the University is accredited by the appropriate agency and that the University as a whole is on the approved list of the Association of American Universities. In 1925 the Belknap Campus was purchased by the Univerf sity. This purchase was the outgrowth of a gift made by the family of W. R. Belknap and of a municipal bond issue of one million dollars effected in that year. The Belknap Campus today is the location of the College of Liberal Arts, the Speed Scientific School, the Speed Museum ferected as the result of a gift made by Mrs. I. B. Speedj, the Playhouse, the School of Music, the Graduate Division of Social Administration, the general adminisf tration offices, and the Law School, the latest addition. In 1936 the Larson Plan of Campus Development was adopt' ed by the Board of Trustees. This plan, deals with the general lines of physical expansion that the University will follow in the next hundred years and sets up the type of architecture which will prevail. It is with a certain humbleness that we contemplate this plan, the model of which has been exhibited in Louisville for the past year. It stands as a symbol of the University of Tomor' row. Dr. James M. Bodine was dean of the Medical Department of the University of Louisville for fortv venrs Dr. Snnruel Gross was a pro cine in 1845.
