It 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 Legis- lature of the State of New York, which granted it power to "con- fer such literary honors, degrees and 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 Uni- versity 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. On March 7, 1907, the Regents of the University of the State of New York amended the charter of St. John's College, Fordham, so that the corporate name of the college was changed to "Fordham University" and so that its Law Department was given the name of "Fordham University School of Law." The School is located in the Fordham building at 302 Broad- way, which is owned by the University and which houses the City Hall Division of the University. The building is a modern fifteen- story structure. It is situated a block from the civic center of New York, where are located the New York County Court House, the Federal Court House, the Surrogate's Court, and the Municipal and State office buildings. The students of the School thus have ready access to the courts and ample opportunity to attend their sessions. Subway lines to all parts of the city are within two blocks of the building. The School of Law occupies the upper five floors of the building. The Law Library is located on the fourteenth and fifteenth floors. The business office of the Fordham Law Re- 8 School of Law 9 view is adjacent to the Library on the fourteenth floor. Class- rooms and executive and faculty offices are provided on the three lower floors. PURPOSE OF THE SCHOOL AND SYSTEM OF INSTRUCTION The design of the School is to give a practical and scientific pro- fessional education in law. The curriculum includes a study of the principles of general jurisprudence, the common and statute law of the United States, the system of equity jurisprudence and pleading and procedure at common law and under modern codes. The School believes in the principle of Natural Law that all men are endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights and that certain legal implications flow therefrom.
