l l l SCHOOL OF LAW J. W. MORLAND, Dean THE Law School, situated in the Arts-Law building, to which place it was moved in 1926, was fully approved by the American Bar Association in 1929, and elected a member of the Association of American Law Schools in the following year. Its degree is approved by the Board of Regents of the New York State University. A newly com- pleted library, so generously supported by the Walther League, consists of over ten thousand volumes. In 1879 the Honorable Mark L. De Motte organized the school on this campus and remained as its head for over thirty years, during which time many of its graduates served in state and national positions as successful lawyers. Colonel De Motte, , who retired in 1908 because of ill health, was replaced by Milo J. Bowman, who served as l dean for a period of over twenty years. i The present dean, J. W. Morland, received his J.D. from the University of Chicago, having previously obtained his AB. and LLB. from Indiana University. Under his cap- able leadership, the Law School has risen to the high position it now commands. Dean Morland,s geniality and scholarly attitude justify the esteem in which he is held. l l i i To familiarize its students with the principles and rules that have been established I l i l through common laW and legislative and constitutional enactments is the ultimate aim of the Law School. Outstanding local peculiarities of the 10591719 Kowalslei law as they exist in various states throughout the Union Gilbert He r 2b? 78 and in federal jurisdiction are by no means excluded from james Clements instruction. A student lawyer does not solely receive information and a thorough mental training, but a sane and practical balance between theory and practice. In such a study, legislative enactment and social influences are not neglected. He is acquainted with the ideals and traditions peculiar to his chosen profession; he is disci- plined in the methods of legal reasoning and analysis; and he is trained in the operative functions, supplemented by much practical information. Instruction and practice in drawing legal papers and pleading cases is provided through a trial practice court, wherein the student must take all steps required in the trial of a case. i i i l 1 l l ; 1 HI!

This year twenty-two students of the Valparaiso Law School became associate members of the Indiana State Bar Association by a resolution passed at a mid- winter meeting of the association at Indianapolis. There has also been organized within the law school, under the supervision of Dean Morland, a lawyers, club, with a definite purpose to participate actively in extra-curricu- lat activities and arrange for prominent speakers to appear before the club. Those who held oflices in the School of Law for this year were: Joseph Kowalski, president; Gil- bert Herzberg, Vice-president, and James Clements, sec- retary.

3-. ROM a modest beginning in 1873, With a one year program in Civil Engineering, the present College of Engineering, With its standard four year program, stands as one of the strongest departments of the university. The College has at all times been eager to extend its scope and enlarge its program in conformity With the modern trend in education, and to present courses that Will prepare the student for the modern developments in engineering. During the sixty-one years that the Engi- neering College has been a part of the university, the science of engineering has contributed much to the ad- vancement of our Civilization. As each new develop- ment has appeared, the preparation of the engineering students has had to become more specialized and more comprehensive. Today the College offers the following curricula: Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Commercial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. Although the specihc training for an engineering student Will be different in each of the four divisions, there are several aims common to all. One objective is a grasp of the fundamentals in both general theory and practice of the engineering science. Another is the mas- tery of a measure of specialization in the main divisions, made so necessary in View of the remarkable develop- ment of this field of learning in recent years. Realizing that education aims to develop the wholeli man, the engineering curricula have included more and more of the purely cultural subjects. Aside from those courses especially designed for their cultural content, the student may also enjoy the advantages of contacts in the other schools of the university that serve to broaden and develop his whole personality. Ewald Natb Arthur Gz'esler N orman Stryker In the study of any subject all is not facts, laws, theories, and problems; every student requires the stimulation of a motivating personality, an individual With the necessary background, experience, and genuine interest in both the subject and student, to vitalize the whole program and give it a purpose. The engineers have such a man in their Dean, Dr. Moody. This genial and energetic adviser and professor well exemplihes the best in his profession. Dr. Moody received his A.B. from Cornell College, Iowa, and his Ph.D. from the Univers1ty of Chicago. In addition to this work he Was Dean of the School of Engineering in the Agriculture and Mechanical College of Mississippi. Dr. Moody was appointed to the position of Dean of the College of Engineering in 1930, and has cone tinued to exert his progressive influence in that capacity ever since. The College of Engineering is active in campus life through the Engineering Society Which is to a large degree synonymous With it. Ewald Nath, however, is the president of the tribunal, while Arthur Giesler and Norman Stryker are the president and vice- president, respectively, of the society. COLLEGE OF ENGINEERING H. W.

THE pharmacist today occupies a very important position in his community. In light of the great advances made in medicine and other sciences, sight is often lost of the significance of the pharmacist in refer- ence to the welfare of the general public. The pharma- cist is the point of contact between the latest discoveries in the medical field and the community at large. He is not simply an impersonal dispenser of prepared drugs, but an individual Whose duties demand a thorough and extensive education. His education, therefore, becomes a matter of utmost concern not only to the individual but to the whole community. The graduates of the College of Pharmacy this year are in the first class to receive their Bachelor of Science degrees under the four year Curriculum. During the thirty-seven years prior to 1930, the curriculum of the pharmacist has undergone considerable expansion. In 1893 the only requirement was fifty weeks of speciali- zation, but with the many contributions of research to the fields of medicine, chemistry, and allied sciences, it was found necessary to organize two and three year courses. In time, even these curricula became inade- quate and the present four year requirement was intro- duced. It is significant to note that during the past four years, the study of pharmacy has broadened, not only in its professional scope, but also in its cultural as- pects. Courses designed primarily for their cultural value include two years of a foreign language and public speaking. The purpose of the College of Pharmacy is, then. three-fold: to give sound instruction in the fundamental sciences with which a pharmacist has to deal; to offer thorough training along the prac- tical lines of the profession; and to impart as broad a cultural background of general knowledge as is possible in the prescribed time. Aside from the purely professional aspects of a curriculum, the student is necessarily influenced and motivated by the personalities of his instructors. In the College of Phar- macy all pharmacists have the opportunity of associating with Dean Frederick Lofgren. Dr. Lofgren is truly a scholar: a professor who not only assiduously keeps in contact with the many new developments in the science of drug preparation, but always finds the stu- dents problems and ideas equally challenging and fascinating. Dr. Lofgren received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Washington, and has been engaged in advanced research work at the University of Chicago during the past few summers. Dr. Lofgren took up his present position as dean of the Valparaiso College of Pharmacy in 1929. The officers of the College of Pharmacy for the current year are: president, William Swoboda; vice-president, Donald Lightcap, and secretary, Erwin Newkirk. Henry Ciecierski succeeded Arthur Werre as treasurer the second semester. William Swoboda Erwin N ewkirle Donald Ligbtcap COLLEGE OF PHARMACY F. V.
