Uhlinglier, Smith, Bch-wut, RUI17 Dotiglas, Stimwn, Racine, Noel LAW A new regime for the college of law began at the University in the fall with the appointment of Edward Stimson as dean of the school. The culmination of four ognition nationally, the law college now may put forth its standards as being able to qualify itself for approval by the American Bar Association. The college of law is h a c arter member of the League of Ghio Law Schools which was organized in 1934 and is today a force in the legal education field. years' work in obtaining rec- Witli a working library of 7,500 volumes, and ac- cess to the Toledo Law Association library of 20,000 vol- umes, students have access to adequate materials for the stu ' ' ' ' dy of legal history and current legal problems. Since all law classes are at night, the students in the Dem Stinwm college are under the evening session student council which arranges social functions to which most of the stu- dents go. The student governing body, however, directly connected with the college, is the law council. This coun- cil, elected by the law students, ar- ranges special lectures and each year sponsors a banquet for law students and advisers. One of the newer ac, tivities is the sponsoring of a law magazine which is pationed by the law college. The advisership plan used by the law college is rec- ommended by the American Bar Association and the Ohio State Bar Association. Under this plan all the law students are assigned to practicing lawyers who act as advisers.

Be- ginning in 1906 when the Y.M.C,A. first started evening classes, the work transferred to the University in 1909. Until 1922 law degrees were offered but from 1922 un- til 1953, the law school was but a part of the college of arts and sciences, and only a certificate of law was grant- ed. The re-establishment of the separate college came in 1934 and since then the degree of bachelor of laws has been granted. Dr. Josef L. Kunz, lecturer in international law, is one of the city's best speakers, and the school is fortunate in having him. His class rooms are always crowded in the contemporary events courses, and his other classes on law draw a great amount of praise from his many students. l7or a full knowledge of the important subjects need- ed in background for legal practice, the University's law school is able to supply the request. 27
