Such students receive credit for work satisfactorily done, and may become candidates for graduation at any time by meeting the requirements of the College. METHODS OF INSTRUCTION The methods of instruction used in this College are based largely upon the study of cases. Text-books are used to some extent, and lectures are occasionally resorted to, but the study of the case is regarded as the chief means to the attainment of legal knowledge and proficiency. LIBRARY AND MOOT COURT The library consists of the leading text-books on all subjects: United States Supreme Court Reports; Eng lish Reports; Reports of the principal states of the Union; American Decisions; American Reports and American State Reports; the current volumes of the West Company Reporter System, and the leading legal periodicals. The Moot Court is held once a week for the purpose of familiarizing the student with legal procedure. It is presided over by the Dean, Judge O. A. Harker, the other officers being elected by the law students from their own body. All second and third year students are required to be present, and to perform such duties as may be assigned them. LEGAL STUDY AND UNIVERSITY WORK The Council of Administration will, upon application, in proper cases, apply credits earned in the College of Law upon other University courses. Students matriculating in the College of Law may take any of the following courses: economics and social science, and history, subject to the approval of the Dean of the College of Law and the professors concerned. By special arrangement other work in the College of Literature and Arts may also be taken. 2.

REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION The requirements for graduation with the degree of bachelor of laws are seventy-two semester hours of work.
