One who intends to practice law in Ohio can prepare himself for that purpose better in this college than in any college outside of the state. Attention is called to Columbus as a place in which to study law. Here the Legislature meets; here are the Supreme Court, Circuit Court, and five branches of the Common Pleas Court, the County Commissioners, the City Court, and the several Magistrate's Courts; also the U. S. Circuit and District Courts. All are of easy access from the College. The College of Law occcupies a new building upon the campus, within three minutes' walk of High Street and an electric car line. It was completed in 1902, and is named Page Hall after Henry Folsom Page, who was an attorney­ at-law and lived at Circleville, Ohio. He bequeathed a large estate valued at nearly a quarter of a million dollars to the Ohio State University. On the first floor there are three large lecture rooms and two other class rooms, the offices of the Dean and of the Secretary, recitation rooms, Moot Court room, and room of the Law Literary Society. On the second floor is the library and reading room-a great hall lighted on three sides and from above. It has wall shelves for several thousand volumes, and contains reading tables for about two hundred students. Adjoining it is a large con- sulting room. COLLEGE OF LAW 7 LIBRARIES The following libraries are accessible to the student: The Law Library of the College contains the oble Law Library, the Emerson ~lc.lillin Law Library, the Critchfield Law Library, seven sets of the Ohio and the Ohio State Reports, aiJ.d many other leading reports; in all, about 3 00 well selected volumes. The number is being increased every year. The University Library contains 0,000 volumes of very carefully selected books upon all SUbjects. This is quite complete in the most recent standard works upon history and political science, philosophy, etc. A good collection of the leading scientific, technical, and literary magazines and journals is to be found here. The State Law Library of over 2 ,000 volumes is the largest and most complete library in the State, and ranks among the best in the United States. It contains all the American Reports (Federal and State), Decisions, Digests, and Statute Laws, and keeps abreast of the publication of current text books, books of reference, and leading law periodicals. The department of English, Scotch, Irish, and British Colonial Decisions is well cared for and growing yearly more comprehensive. About 00 volumes have been added to the Library annually for the last few years, among the recent additions being about 100 volumes of Australian and Canadian Law Reports formerly missing from the catalogue. This library is located in the new State Judiciary Building in the grounds of the State Capitol, and many students avail themselves of its privileges. It is open every week day except Saturday from eight to five o'clock, but on Saturday it closes to the public at noon. The State Library, in the State House, is a library of general literature, history, science, biography, political and social science, philosophy, etc., comprising over 112,000 volumes. The leading magazines, journals, etc., are also to be found here. The City Library, with 55,000 volumes and large read­ Ing rooms, located on Grant Avenue at the head of State Street, may also be used by students, under reasonable restrictions. 8 OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY ADMISSION GENERAL REQUIREMENT Applicants for admission must be at least 18 years o(age.
