This action was taken last week by the university faculty on the recommendation of the faculty of the Law School. "It is desirable for a student entering upon the study of law to have as broad cultural training as possible, and it is recommended that he have an academic degree," Dean Samuel L. Prince said. "How ever, beginning with the Fall of 1952 he must have not less than three full years of college work completed." The action of the university is consistent with the needs of the public and the profession of law and is also consistent with the action of the American Bar asso ciation for approved schools and the action of the Association of American Law Schools, Dean Prince said. It is also the practice of the vast majority of approved law schools in America. There probably are about 20% of the law schools in America that even make an academic degree a condi tion precedent prior to the study of law. In 1921 the law courses were extended from two years to three years. Prior to 1923 no college training was required for entrance into the law school, and that year one year of satisfactorily com pleted college work was made a condition precedent. In 1925 this was moved to two full years of academic work. There has been no change in these requirements since 1925. However, during the last twenty-five years where applicants have had less than three full college years of satisfactory work, the faculty in most instances have been able to persuade the applicant to at least complete three years so as to have a better foundation for his study of the law.

Then Dean of the faculty, Francis W. Bradley, is able to enlighten you. Bradley is director of The South Carolina Dialect Society which collects and pub lishes dialect words with their origin. Dean Bradley said many in tellectuals in South Carolina send in words for other words frequently to add to each one's collection. Bradley has had one book published on the dialect words he collected up to 1950. In 1937 the Folklore Society was founded. Bradley is in this organization and collects proverbs of South Carolina. Bradley recommends an intellec tual hobby for each person who intends to keep his mind stimu lated. "Studying dialect words and proverbs is entertaining and keeps one mentally alert," Bradley said. 3-Hour Dry Cleaning Service Press While You Wait 1-Day Dry Cleaning and Laundry Service ARROW CLEANERS 1209 Ceriw MEN'S SHOP D QUALITY [FURNISHINGS Columbia, S.
