.■ja ' jy« -ji NEEDHAM Y. GULLEY, M.A., LLD. Since the Woke Forest College School of Law was founded in 1895 with Dr. Needham Y. Gulley as the only professor, it has grown until there are six professors teaching. In all, the school has graduated around 1,500 lawyers. There are ap- proximately 1,900 practicing attorneys, graduates of Wake Forest, in North Caro- lina. Dr Gulley, during his forty-first year as active dean, estoblished a record— both with regard ' to long tenure of office and quailty of work done— probably without equol in the history of American legal education. DALE F. STANSBURY, B.S., LL.B., J.S.D. Dr. Dale F. Stansbury has taken over the administrative reins for the past two years with commendable smoothness and efficiency. Under his supervision the law school has obtained national recognition. Last year the number of volumes in the law library was trebled and the school was recognized in every respect by the American Bar Association and other accrediting agencies. The Wake Forest Law School is recognized as one of the best in the south; from .the time of its establishment the primary purpose has been to tram young men for the practice of law in North Caroline, although ample facilities ore provided for students who may expect to practice in other jurisdictions.

m mm DANIEL BRYAN, M.A., Ph.D. Dean of fhe College and Professor of Education THE SCHOOL OF LIBERAL ARTS For fourteen years Dr Bryan has served the college as Dean, moulding the characters of Wake Forest men, and inspiring love and confidence in all with whom he comes in contact. His work under three presidents has caused members of the faculty and student body to admire him as strong counselor and o real man His cooperation ond far-sightedness are doing much to advance the standing of the school in every field. The largest division of the college, the School of Liberal Arts, embraces a total of thirteen distinct departments of instruction with a student enrollment of nearly 925 and a faculty of 34 including five teaching fellows The oldest unit of Wake Forest, this division has operated since the founding of the college in 1834. During the 103 years since the doors of the institution were first opened thousands of men have gone away to make brilliant records as teachers, ministers, journalists, men of business, and as citizens of the state and nation. Sixty-four years of success- fully training men elapsed before the college ' s first professional school — the School of Law- was added in 1894. Eight years later, in 1902, the second professional unit of operation the School of Medicine- -was established Despite the fact that the two professional schools hove grown to amazing proportions during their comparatively short period of existence, the School of Liberal Arts has grown along with them in both prestige and numbers The faculty has enjoyed numerous additions, and the stu- dent enrollment has kept pace Physical equipment is altogether complete, numerous additions in buildings and in work ma- terials hoving been made within recent years. The newest additions are Woit Hall, housing fhe odministrative offices and classrooms, a remodeled old gymnasium that now serves as headquar- ters for the Social Science Department, a new gymnosium serving students in all three college divisions, and a new dormitory that houses five fraternities.

THE SCHOOL OF MEDICINE The Wake Forest College School of Medicine, threatened with abolition after thirty-three fruitful years of existence, came up to all requirennents and is now ac- credited by every related standardizing agency in America Although there are only half as many medical schools in America as there were in 1908, the school at Wake Forest has held its own, largely through the efforts of President Thurman D Kitchin About five hundred doctors have been turned out by the School of Medicine, and most of them are making high marks in further study and practice By combining academic and professionol study, it is possible for a student to gam the baccalau- reate and medical degrees of Wake Forest in seven years Standards are so high that only about one-sixth of thoss who apply gain admittance into the medical school The first dean, in 1902, was Dr. Fred Cooke. He was succeeded by Dr. W. S. Rankin, now with the Duke Foundation, who served until he was made secretary of the State Board of Health Dr. C. C. Carpenter now serves in the capacity of dean In addition to shouldering his share of administrative duties.
