Judge Allyn submitted a report in favor
of law college, in which he says 1t Is
noticeable fact that ''eye-y year scores of
+, 80. ant
side of the state of Washington 10 secure
training in and knowledge of the law.
Many cannot afford this, and study IN law
offices and at their homes" He con-
tinues: And. from another standpoint,
no university worthy of the name is COM
plete without good, live and WELL
equipped law school as one of its integral
parts Ii seems to me, therefore. that the
need OF a law college in connection with
the University of Washington is APP
parent"
lie SAYS there are many bright, highly
educated lawyers in the state who would
support such a college. There Is no law
school in the state, and the best talent Tor
lecturers could therefore be secured, and
not only would free tuition attract large
numbers of students, but the states
munifcence will make it possible to en-
gage first-class talent The law college
could easily be housed In the old uniyer-
sity building. and it would be advisable to
retain part of the present site for IT. as
the college should be as near the center of
the city as possible.
Judge Allyn thinks il could be started
with one professor, aided by lectures by
eminent jurists and LAWYERS OF this state
He recommends an advisory and examin-
ing board TO consist of the justice of the
supreme court, United States Judge and
members OF the bar 10 be selected. Ii was
referred to a committee consisting OF Re
gents Allyn, Wood and Preston.
Secretary Meany also submitted report
in favor of College of Pharmacy Mr.
Meany says be is informed that there need
be little or no additional expense con-
nected with such a college The chief in
struction needed is, of course. in chemis-
try. and the regular professor OF chemistry
could be made dean of the College OF Phar-
macy. The other instruction could be
supplied by the regular university profess
sor and by lectures by pharmacists OF rec
ognixed ability in the state. The graduates
could be granted certificates and admitted
20 practice by the state board of pharmacy
without further examination.
Mr.. Mesny quotes from an address de-
livered by Mr.. A. h. Stewart, president OF
the Washington Pharmaceu Associa-
ton, urging that education In pharmacy
should De fostered by the establishment of
such college in connection with the
university. and that a committee be APP
pointed 30 urge il on the regents Mr..
Meany adds that. as the state has set mp q
high standard of proficiency. II should
provide the means of reaching that stand
ard within the state.
These plans will soon begin to be put
! into active operation.
