SCOUT EXECUTIVES NOW IN TRAINING School Representing Southeast ern States in Session at Mercer. The teaching staff of Mercer Uni versity for the year 1922-23 includes fifty-five professors and instructors, of-whom ten are connected with the Law School, leaving forty-.five teach ing in the college' and in the Schools of Theology,- Education, Journalism and Commerce. Should the present Legislature enact a law requiring two years of college work of a|l-registered pharmacists, the School of Pharmacy will be ■ reorganised and the faculty further increased. Five years ago the faculty of Mercer University consist; ed of a- teaching force of seventeen, six of whom were connected with the Law Schdol. ... - Each year there have been added to the faculty men of scholarship and Chriptian character. Every professor who i* the head of a department in The School of Law established 1876 was not an integral part Mercer University, since the mem bers of the faculty were not paid by the institution a regular salary. The professors in the Lew School received the tuition paid by the students and divided this income- among them selves. The classes were taught at night and only one year of instruc tion was given. During the last few years there has been a marked advance made in the requirements for legal education. The Association of American Law Schools defines the standards, in this particular fiejd. There are but live institutions in the South which today are meeting these requirements. The trustees of Mercer University have decided that this institution shall be the sixtfi among the law schools of ’the South to measure up in every particular to the standards set by Yale, Harvard, Cornell and other universities. ■ ■ Beginning \tT 1921 all candidates for the law degree were tequired to engage in resident study for a period of three years. Beginning with 1922 the - instruction will be given in the day, while three new professors have been • added who will devote all of their time t othe giving of instruc tion. ’ ■ The School of Law in Mercer Uni versity huH had an honorable history and numbers among its graduates many of the leading jurists of this and other states. It has been gener ally agreed that our L* w School has been the best in the state, and this judgment has been reached primarily because Of the excellent instruction given by the members of the Macon Bar who have composed its faculty. It is a source of gratification that every one of these men will retain his connection’ with the School of Law and will-teach the subjects which they have taught so acceptably for many „ , .. .. .. • 11 ■ . years. Judge W. H. Felton, Jr.; is Mercer . University either has an V ..., ", .. . , ,, dean, while the other members of the earned doctor’s degree or he is en gaged in securing such a degree. There haa been a iqarked advance made in the requirements for en trance and for graduation. The first two years of college work offer little variety to the student; since during this period he is taking the subjects and the courses of study required by everyone who is. seeking; a college degree.. . The increase in the teaching force has been necessitated by the principle which has -guided- the present admin istration in the development of the curriculpm.j>f Mercer University. This institution does not exist for itself. Its mission is to provide every stu dent with the best education possible arid to give him instruction in those courses of study which he will fine) to be of practical value in later life.

There have been added, nine new men to the faculty, while others will probably be secured by the opening of-the fell session. j •• Dr. Clement T.
