lege department will be started this
year. Besides college department
there will be a preparatory depart
ment, a school of commerce and a
night school.
One Of the most important features
Of the college will be the law school.
The faculty is composed Of the best
lawyers of the city Of Spokane, and
this is a guarantee that it will com.
pare favorably with other law schools
Of the west. The following are on the
faculty:
Hon Edward whitson, Hon. George
Turner, Hon. William Huneke, Hon.
M. j, Gordon, B. H. Kizer, John e.
Blair, j. T. Burcham, Frank T. Post,
Hon. w. G. Graves, Myron A. Fol-
som and friedrich w. Dewart.
Several of the members Of the fac.
ulty of the college are well and faY-
orably known to the school people OF
the Inland Empire and this will insure
confidence in the institution at the
outset. The law school will be in SEES
sion entirely in the evening in order
that business men who are too busy
in the day may get a chance to avail
themselves Of the opportunity to get
legal education, without interfering
in any way with their business.
The college will stand as an expon.
ent of the Christian education, as the
only education which educates the
mind and heart at the same time. The
discipline of the school will be based
on Christian principles and encourage
ment will be given to all Christian
work among the students.
