School Of Economics and Government

students in the Law School can pursue
their needed academic work without
sacrificing valuable study time In their
quest for legal degrees.
The academic courses are set up also
for the special accommodation of en-
ployed students. And prominent
among the subjects available in the

particular interest to Government en-
ployes in agencies directing the So

men, too, will find classes to their
special liking.
