have been completely renowned. New
class rooms and separate quarters for
the Graduate School have been pro-

library, which has been increased in
size by a third. The library itself has
been enlarged during the Summer until
there are now more than $4,000 vol
umes. Many new volumes, of assistance
in research work have been added.

Registration in both the law and for
