I I i ! l, .! HM xXUMIN I5 I'RX'I IUAN Col lege of q3harmacy FREDERICK V. LOFGREN Dean From its inception in 1893, our College of Pharmacy has been diligently co-operating With the leaders in this held in an endeavor to raise our stand- ard among the schools of the country. Beginning With a one year course of flfty weeks giving the men engaged in the profession a slight knowledge of the science of pharmacy, we soon advanced to the two and three year courses, due to the tremendous ad- vances in the fields of medicine, chemistry, and allied sciences. More re- cent surveys, however, indicated that a minimum four year curriculum is indispensable. In 1930, two years prior to its general acceptance, our college adopted the four year course as the minimum for graduation, lead- ing to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy. Our school, to- gether With a few others, has taken this progressive stand since we believe that a cultural, as well as a scientific education, is essential to the successful career of the modern pharmacist. Recognizing the truth of the statement that pharmacy is Without ques- tion a business as well as a profession our college prepares young men and women to enter the business world as retail or Wholesale pharmacists or in the administrative held of manufacturing pharmacy. For those sci- entiflcally inclined, they are thoroughly equipped to enter into the realm of pharmaceutical or chemical research, either With private or govern- mental institutions.

College of Engineering HOWARD W. MOODY Dean In the College of Engineering, standard four year curricula in Chemi- cal, Civil, Commercial, Electrical, and Mechanical Engineering have been organized. An option in the Division of Mechanical Engineering affords the first three years of a curriculum in Aeronautical Engineering. In each of these curricula, during the junior college years, a broad founda- tion is laid both in the general theory and in the practice in engineering. In the senior college years a certain measure of specialization is necessary in the divisions listed in view of the remarkable advances in engineering in recent years. Associated With the engineering divisions is that of Industrial Arts. To prepare young men for teaching industrial arts and pre-engineering sub- jects in high school, four Curricula have been arranged: Drafting, Machine Shop, Electrical Work, and Wood Work. These curricula have been built around basic engineering subjects. They allow opportunity for majoring along one or the other line of endeavor and include sufficient courses in Education and in the teaching of industrial arts to satisfy all requirements made for those seeking license to teach in the various states.

School of Law J . W. MORLAND Dean The primary purpose of the School of Law is to direct its students in preparation for the active practice of the law. The aim is not solely to give information nor is it solely to supply mental training. Discipline in the methods of legal reasoning and analysis are considered of great im- portance; but this is supplemented by much practical information, and by training in the operative functions. The student is acquainted With the ideals and traditions peculiar to the profession. He is given training and practice in drawing legal papers. Courses are offered in pleading and trial practice. A practice court is maintained wherein the student must take all the steps required in the trial of a case. The aid throughout is to train students in habits of legal reasoning and to assist the student in the acquisition of knowledge of a substantial part of the law which he is to practice. The instruction is not local in scope, but is designed to prepare students for the practice of law in any state. Thus a sane and practical balance between the- ory and practice are sought and legislative enact- ments and societal influences are not neglected. Yet the judicial process through Which law takes its final form must necessarily remain the central problem of the School of Law. WW Arts-Law Building Page Twmty-mze
