THE LAW SCHOOL

Scope of Work.-The work of the Law School is intended for students whose education and maturity have fitted them to pursue serious professional study. The method of instruction employed-the study and discussion of cases-is designed to give an effective knowledge of legal principles, and to develop the power of independent legal reasoning. The three-year course of study offered constitutes a thorough preparation for the practice of law in any English-speaking jurisdiction. By means of the quarter system students may be graduated in two and one-fourth calendar years.

The Summer Quarter.-Regular courses of instruction counting toward a degree are continued through the Summer Quarter. Either advanced or beginning students may enter the school in the summer, and continue in the Autumn or in the next Summer Quarter. The courses are so arranged that students may take one, two, or three quarters in succession in the summer only, before continuing in a following Autumn Quarter. The summer work offers particular advantages to teachers, to students who wish to do extra work, and to practitioners who desire to study special subjects.

Building and Library.—The Law School occupies a building erected especially for it within the University quadrangles, and is equipped with a law library containing about 38,000 volumes.

Admission Requirements and Degrees. Only college graduates or students who have had college work equivalent to three years in the University of Chicago are admitted as regular students, candidates for the degree of Doctor of Law (J.D.). The University permits one year of law to be counted as the fourth year of college work, making it possible to obtain both degrees in six years.

Students over twenty-one years old who have completed at least a fouryear high-school course may be admitted as candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Laws (LL.B.), but must maintain a standing 10 per cent above the passing mark. In rare instances students over twenty-one who cannot meet these requirements will be admitted as unclassified, not candidates for a degree.

Fees. A matriculation fee of $5 is required of every student entering for the first time. The tuition fee is $50 a quarter ($25 a term).

All correspondence concerning the Law School should be addressed to JAMES P. HALL, Dean of the University of Chicago Law School, Chicago, Ill.

Courses Offered. During the Summer, 1913, the Law School will offer courses in: Contracts, Criminal Law, Title to Real Estate, Damages, Constitutional Law, Mortgages, Wills, Sales, and Trusts.

COURSES IN MEDICINE

First Two Years of the Medical Course.-Courses in Medicine constituting the first two years of the four-year course in medicine of Rush Medical College are given at the University of Chicago. For the majority of students taking up medical work for the first time, it is of decided advantage to enter with the Summer or the Autumn Quarter. For the student who is lacking in any of the admission courses, or who seeks advanced standing, it is of especial advantage to enter for the Summer Quarter.

Requirements for Admission.-The requirements for admission comprise (a) fifteen units of high-school work, demanded for admission to the Junior Colleges of the University, and (b) two years of college work, which must have included at least four majors of college chemistry, including both inorganic and organic, and qualitative analysis (in addition to the year of high-school chemistry), one major of college biology with laboratory work, two majors of college physics, and a reading knowledge of German or French. Admission to advanced standing is granted students from other recognized institutions under suitable restrictions. The inclusive fee in the Medical Courses is $60 per quarter.

Courses for Practitioners. All the courses offered are open to practitioners of medicine, who may matriculate as unclassified or as graduate students. No student may register for a particular course unless he has had the prerequisite work. Attention is called to the fact that certain courses of special value to practitioners are given in the summer. Practitioners taking this work are free to attend the clinics at Rush Medical College without charge. Courses in Medicine will be found listed on p. 10.

VARIOUS UNIVERSITY ACTIVITIES

UNIVERSITY PUBLIC LECTURES

By means of public lectures and entertainments of an educational character the University presents many opportunities for culture and instruction apart from the work of the laboratory and the classroom. The lectures are delivered by eminent scholars. Concerts or recitals will be given Tuesday evenings and popular lectures Friday evenings throughout the Summer Quarter.

CORRESPONDENCE-STUDY DEPARTMENT

The teachers and students who for any reason cannot come into residence during the summer or other quarters may study under the direct personal guidance of University instructors who conduct by correspondence more than three hundred and twenty-five of the classroom courses. The tuition fee is $16 for one major, $30 for two, and $40 for three. Work may begin at any time.
