THE SCHOOL OF LAW OFFICERS Ronald Reed Max More Lyman Houser . President Vice-President . Secretary-Treasurer At that time it had a ' I HE Law School was estabhshed in 1872 - ■ faculty composed of three men and there were five members of the first graduating class. Today the school occupies its own new fire-proof building, Lee H. Tate Hall. It has a faculty of seven full-time men and one part-time instructor. The student body numbers one hundred and forty-nine. The library is the laboratory of a law school and we are justly proud of ours. We have a collection of some thirty thousand volumes and it is ' ■ siSijii ' hoped to add substantially to this number during the coming year. Two years of college work are required of all students before they are eligible for admission to the School and it is hoped that before very long, conditions will make it possible to require three years as a prerequisite. Many students, realizing the value- of such work, voluntarily take this extra year. A student should be as mature as possible to study law. The School is a charter member of the Association of American Law Schools, an organization composed of the leading law schools of the United States and Canada, whose purpose is to further the cause of legal education and promote better legal scholarship. The School has always been given the highest classification by the Council on Legal Education of the American Bar Association. This means that it is one of the three schools in the State that are endorsed by that Association. J. L. Parks, Dean. V %k Page 24

SCHOOL OF JOURNALISM Stanley White . Marian Grey Franklin Virginia Bidwell OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary and Treasurer •T HE School of Journalism of the University of Missouri well repre- - ■ sents dynamic youth. It is a young school, though the oldest School of Journalism in the world. University education in prepara- tion for journalism is new among educational endeavors. The profes- sion of journalism is the profession of youth. Those engaged in it must have the spirit of youth whatever the calendar records as their ages the spirit of intellectual curiosity, of social experi- ment, of seeing things that are not here. In such education in preparation for such a profession the School of Journalism is a leader. Its graduates and former students are to be found exemplifying the spirit in every county in Missouri, in every state in the United States, in every country in the world. The Missouri School of Journalism is one of the most prominent in the world. One of the more important reasons for this prominence is the extensive laboratory facilities. This laboratory work is one of the outstanding features of the professional courses. For this practice work, the Columbia Missourian and the Missouri Magazine supply opportunities for students to gain practical experience in journalistic work. The Columbia Missourian, a news- paper of general circulation, is published six days a week throughout the calendar year. The Missouri Magazine is published weekly as a supplement to the Missourian. The other campus publications also serve in this capacity. The School of Journalism has attained a place of prominence on the campus and is one of the most rapid growing schools at Missouri. At its present rate of growth the Journalism School will expand even more in the near future to accommodate the incoming students. Pat ' 23

T THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE OFFICERS Rudolph J. Depner . President Alonzo Jenks Vice-President William Aufranc Secretary-Treasurer npHE position of a doctor in the community is of ever-increasing - ' - importance, and unless popular opinion decreases considerably in preventive medicine and public health the doctor wi ' l be coming to the front even more rapidly than he is at present. For the man of medicine to serve in the future as he has served in the past he must not only have a fine medical education but also a well-rounded general education. To follow this course is not easy but it is altogether possible, and he is thus prepared to become an asset to the community in which he is located. The aim of the Faculty is to so regulate the en- trance to and the exit from the School as to give assurance that the students will not only be able to carry on their special duties as a man of medicine, but also to be capable of taking his place in his community. The School of Medicine at Missouri does not give the Medical Degree, but it is hoped that in the near future facilities will be available to make this possible. The first two years of medicine is given and the rating of the School makes entrance into any other school where the final degree is given very easy. The University Hospital maintains hospital service available to residents of Missouri. Since July, 1927, the hospital has been extended to include free service to crippled children. The hospital takes care of all the students of the University of Missouri and is always available to them. Pan 25
