PRE-LAW COURSES

For Admission to the Department of Law, in addition to the completion
of an approved high school course of four years, or its equivalent,
the candidate must present evidence that for at least two years he
has pursued in a standard college courses leading to a baccalaureate
degree, of which he must have successfully completed at least thirty
session-hours.

All the required pre-Law courses are offered in the Summer Quarter.

Credit will be given for completed courses only. A completed course
is one for which the student is entitled to final credit toward a baccalaureate
degree from the institution in which the work was done, without
further pursuit of that course.

Notice is given that two important changes in the requirements for
admission are in contemplation, of which changes pre-law students
should be forewarned. First: The exclusion, as subjects acceptable
for admission to the Law School, of courses in Art, Music, Commercial
Law, Education, Physical Training, Military Training, and Public
Speaking. Second: The definite requirement, for admission to the
Law School, of most of the following subjects, which are now recommended
as desirable pre-law courses: English, Latin, French or Spanish,
History, a Natural Science, Mathematics, Government, Accounting,
and for students of more than average maturity Economics, Logic
and Ethics.
