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 30 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 Education, 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.
