Law College
Opens Doors
To Seventy
After being closed for two years
during the war, the university
law college reopened Monday
with an enrollment of 70 stu
dents.
According to Dean Frederick K.
Beutel, this is a heavy enrollment
and is much larger than previ
ously anticipated. Of the total
enrolled, however, over 90 per
cent are veterans, most of whom
are first year law students. Many
of them have completed the two
year pre-law course and a few
have had one or more years of
law education. The remaining 10
per cent includes civilian men
and women entering first year
law work.
- New Program.
For the benefit of veterans, a
new accelerated program has been
established. It will enable a vet
eran enrolling now to complete
the normal three year course in
two and one-half years, those
With a year of law in a. year
and a half, and those with two
years law instruction in eight
months.
