B.) extends through three years. Methods of Admission: Admission may be either by entrance examinations, certificates of graduation from accredited schools, or certificates of graduation from colleges and universities composing the Missouri College Union, or from other reputable colleges, universities or normal schools. Acceptance of such certificate lies wholly within the power of the Committee on Entrance. Admission to First Year Class: For detailed statement of requirements for admission to First Year Class, see pages 60-74 of this Catalogue. Admission to Advanced Classes in the Law Department: Students entering the Junior class must have satisfactorily completed all the required courses of the First Year class. In exceptional cases a minimum number of conditions will be allowed. Certificates from Law schools, approved by the faculty, may be accepted as satisfactory evidence of the completion of the First Year courses. Students entering the Senior class must do so at the beginning of the year; they must ordinarily have been resident students for one year in the Junior class, and have accomplished all the work of the First year and Junior classes. No one will be admitted to advance standing beyond the Junior year except by special vote of the Faculty. No student will be admitted to the Senior class who is conditioned in any subject of the First year, or in more than one full course or two half-year courses of the Junior year. Special Students: Persons who have read law for some time before making application for admission to the Law Department, or who desire to carry out special lines of work and who have not had the preliminary preparation required for admission as regular students, may be admitted as special students, for the purpose of pursuing courses for which, in the judgment of the Faculty, their preparation, such as it is, fits them. Such students must satisfy the Dean tht they can pursue the work selected with profit to themselves and are required to pass satisfactory examinations in at least seventy-five per cent of the work for which they are registered as a condition of continuing in the Department. No student entered as "Special" can be a candidate for a degree. Class Rating: At the time of their admission to the Department students are expected to apply for and obtain such class rating as they desire and may be entitled to, and such rating, except under peculiar circumstances, must be considered final. Applications for a change in rating will only be entertained by the Faculty when made at the beginning of a semester. By vote of the Faculty, upon application, a special student who has been a member of the Department for at least two years and during that time has completed successfully the work of the First and Junior years with an average grade of B therein, may be admitted, at the beginning of the year, to the Senior class as a candidate for a degree. COURSES OF STUDY. The aim of the Law school is to afford the student a thorough training in the fundamental principles of American and English law, both substantive and remedial. In view of the fact that more than onequarter of our students come from other States, it is the aim of the Faculty to make the work broad enough to prepare the student for practice in any State.
