GAMPP, S.J., Assistant Treasurer CHRISTOPHER M. WALDORF, A.B., Bursar THOMAS J. WESTON, Registrar MARY J. LONG, Assistant Registrar JAMES F. KENNEDY, Librarian HISTORICAL STATEMENT Fordham University, New York, began as St. John's College. It was founded by Archbishop Hughes upon the old Rose Hill farm at Fordham, and formally opened on St. John the Baptist's Day, June 24, 1841. On April 10, 1846, an act of incorporation was passed by the Legislature of the State of New York, which granted it power to "confer such honors, degrees or diplomas as are usually granted by any university, college or seminary of learning in the United States." On June 21, 1904, with the consent of the Regents of the Univer- sity of the State of New York, the Board of Trustees authorized the opening of the School of Law, the first classes in which were held in the fall of 1905. LOCATION AND EQUIPMENT The School occupies the entire twenty-eighth floor and part of the twenty-seventh floor of the Woolworth Building, in the midst of the downtown office district, in the vicinity of the Federal and State courts, and within a short walk of the Brooklyn Bridge, the subways and the elevated lines, the New Jersey ferries and the Hudson Tunnels. The School quarters include five classrooms, a Moot Court room, recreation and coatrooms, the Law Library, and the offices of the Faculty, administrative officials of the School and the Law Review. School of Law 5 PURPOSE OF THE SCHOOL AND SYSTEM OF INSTRUCTION The design of the School is to afford a practical and scientific education in the principles of General Jurisprudence. The Common and Statute Law of the United States. The System of Equity Jurisprudence. Pleading and Civil Procedure at Common Law and under the Practice Acts of New York and New Jersey. The course for the degree of Bachelor of Laws covers three years in the day division and four years in the evening division. The case system of study is used, carefully selected collections of cases being employed as the basis of instruction. The teacher and the students discuss the assigned materials critically and comparatively, both with respect to the facts and decisions reached and the rules and principles of law involved. Thus the students are trained in legal analysis and accurate reasoning, while at the same time they are acquiring familiarity with the principles of law and their devel- opment, through the use of the actual decisions of the courts. Although the School recognizes the fact that a grasp of the broad principles of common law is essential for the well-equipped lawyer, and aims to train its students so that they may be qualified to prac- tice law in any common law jurisdiction, care is taken throughout the course to indicate in every subject the existing law of New York. Particular attention is called to the following courses which have special bearing on the New York law: 1. Common Law and Code Pleading.—In this course the prin- ciples of common law and code pleading are taught, and the chief similarities and differences between common law pleading and code pleading (which is in force in New York) are explained. 2. New York Civil Practice.—This course embraces a thorough study of the New York Civil Practice Act. A comprehensive course in Analytical Jurisprudence is conducted which gives due consideration to the ethical and historical aspects of the problems with which the philosophy of the law is concerned. It is believed that the courses of the School are so arranged as to unite a sound training in the fundamental principles of the law with a training in the practical application of these principles to actual legal work. 6 Foedham University A course in New Jersey Practice is given throughout the year. This course may be substituted for the New York Practice course by senior students; and, by arrangement with the Registrar, all students may take this course specially, provided there be no conflict with regular courses. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION The School of Law is open to men and women. Applicants for degrees must be at least eighteen years of age upon entering the first year class, must be of good moral character and must present: 1. A certificate of graduation from a University or College approved by the Board of Regents of the University of the State of New York, together with a full transcript of the scholastic record of the applicant; or, 2. A transcript of record showing successful completion of at least two years of college work in a college or university of standing satisfactory to the School of Law, and proof of having obtained a law student qualifying certificate as required by the University of the State of New York and the Rules of the Court of Appeals. Applicants for admission will be accepted on the basis of their presumptive fitness to pursue the study of law with success as dis- closed by their college records, and on the information as to charac- ter and fitness contained in the statement required to be filed by all applicants, as well as from such other data as may be available or required. Any applicant who has attended any other law school and who either has been required to withdraw therefrom or who is ineligible to continue in regular course therein by reason of deficiency in scholar- ship, will not be admitted to this School. It should be noted that the University of the State of New York requires certification to it, on its own forms, of completed high school and college work before its law student qualifying certificate will be issued. Applicants are advised, therefore, to obtain such forms as soon as possible from the Examinations and Inspections Division, State Education Department, Albany, New York, to have same filled out promptly by the educational institution or institutions in which the applicant pursued his preliminary studies and returned to the same department, to secure said certificate. Otherwise serious delay in obtaining the necessary credentials may ensue. As provided in the Rules of the Court of Appeals, of the State of New York, completion of two full years of college study or the equivalent thereof, in addition to graduation from an approved high school, is necessary for the procurement of the law student certificate. School of Law 7 ADVANCED STANDING An applicant who has satisfied all of the entrance requirements for regular first year students, and in addition has completed success- fully one or more years of law study in a law school maintaining' standards satisfactory to this School and duly registered by the Uni- versity of the State of New York, and who is eligible to return thereto in regular course, may be admitted to advanced standing.

When the pragmatically liberal Governor Bert T. Combs passed his 3% retail sales tax, in 1960, the people on the Cumberland Plateau felt a surge of confidence. After decades of neglect, local school boards in eastern Kentucky were finally able to offer qualified teachers with a college degree a raise of $900 dollars per year, and perhaps, stem the tide of good teachers who were leaving the region for bigger cities, or leaving the state for greener pastures in Ohio or Tennessee. The tax helped military veterans and funded new classrooms. Teacher standards were raised, a network of vocational schools and ten community colleges opened, and work began on the ambitious Kentucky Educational Television network which would greatly expand educational programming in rural areas. As lawyer and former Kentucky state legislator Harry M. Caudill reported, in his definitive Night Comes to the Cumberlands, that the public schools in eastern Kentucky lagged far behind. A 1960 University of Kentucky study found that high school graduates in Harlan County were performing three years and five months behind high school graduates nationally and were in no position to compete for good jobs.

This decision applies to the statutes creat- ing, implementing, and financing the system and to all regulations, etc., pertaining thereto. This decision covers the creation of local school dis- tricts, school boards, and the Kentucky Department of Education to the Minimum Foundation Program and Power Equalization Program.

    A. B. “HAPPY” CHANDLER AND THE POLITICS OF CIVIL RIGHTS by JOHN PAUL HILL (Under the Direction of James C. Cobb) ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the complex civil rights views of Albert Benjamin “Happy” Chandler, one of Kentucky’s most controversial and charismatic politicians of the twentieth century. To offer perspective on his positions, this study focuses on Chandler’s statements and actions during several important periods in civil rights history. Chandler served two terms as governor (1935-1939, 1955-1959). During the first, the NAACP launched its first concerted campaign to desegregate the University of Kentucky. During the second, whites in two western Kentucky communities violently protested efforts to desegregate local schools in compliance with the Supreme Court’s landmark Brown v. Board of Education decision. Between his two terms as governor, Chandler served six years in the United States Senate (1939-1945) and six years as commissioner of Major League Baseball (1945-1951). As a member of the Senate, Chandler voted on antilynching legislation and on two bills designed to eliminate the poll tax in state and federal elections. During his term as commissioner, the game’s entrenched, longstanding ban on interracial play collapsed when Jackie Robinson took the field for the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1947. In 1968, nine years after he had last held elective office, Chandler nearly became the running mate of George C. Wallace, the arch-segregationist former governor of Alabama who was pursuing the presidency under the banner of the American Independent Party. Despite his flirtation with Wallace, Chandler’s overall handling of the important civil rights matters of the day clearly distinguished him from most of his southern political colleagues.
