In 1908, with R. A. Lyman as head, a school of pharmacy was established as an adjunct of the medical college. Afterwards, in 1915, the legislature erected this school into an independent college. It is now about to enter a permanent home in the remodeled building which the chemistry department has recently vacated.
The college of law was founded in 1892, and has remained unchanged in form and name to the present time. It attained its effective organization under Dean Roscoe Pound, who served it from 1903 to 1907, and was then called successively to the law colleges at Northwestern, Chicago, and Harvard. He is now dean of Harvard Law School. The present dean, Judge W. G. Hastings, acted as Chancellor of the University during 1918. At America's entry into the war practically all the students of the law college, and at least one of the faculty, entered the military service. With their return the college is again taking up its work with a normally large attendance.
Important changes were made by the state legislature under the advice of the Chancellor and the regents of the University in 1909.

The college of engineering was provided for at the same time, and was so constituted as to include all the departments of engineering, drawing, certain phases of mathematics and natural science. It was organized first under Dean C. R. Richards, now of the University of Illinois, and since 1912 has been in charge of Dean O. V. P. Stout.
In 1908 provision was made for a teacher's college, thus adding a new field for the work of the University. A college high school was created, and senior college students were trained as teachers under the principal of the school and his assistants. The registration has been large, and the
