Page 25 text:

The Law Department of the University was instituted in 1889 under the Supreme Court Judge Thomas T. Freeman, of Tennessee. As 'an institution, state supported, the University has a history that is marked by a steady expansion of facilities for serving the people of the Commonwealth. But few fields of educational research are lackingr in the curricula of the various component colleges, and an extension of its services in the professional fields is found in the col- leges established at Memphis, where medical, pharmaceutical, and dental courses are offered. Each year new buildings replace the old ones on the campus. Practically all of the buildings are named for the presidents of the University, trustees, or others who have played a great part in the history of this institution. The latest addition to the University is the new Home Economics Laboratory which has been erected on the 01d Rogersl property op- posite the main campus on West Cumberland Avenue. The erection of this building and the new anatomy building at Memphis was made possible by the appropriation of the 1925 Legislature. All of the new buildings are of the same type of architecture, and a definite building program which will make the campus of the University of Tennessee one of the most beautiful in the South, is being carried out step by step as funds become available. The Law College was moved February the Hrst to Tennessee Hall, two blocks east of the main campus. Tennessee Hall has been extensively remodeled, and there the Law College has more adequate means to exercise its functions as a unit of the University. pq Page Twenty-one
