THE 1931 UTONIAN dPjvN the pages of the 1931 Utonian the staff has attempted v*^/ to create a replica of one year's life on the University of Utah campus. It is a brief history of the manv activities of the campus, activities that will often prick our memories in future years and tempt us to spend an hour or two in thumbing over the pages of the book, living over again the colorful incidents of our college life. It is a permanent portraiture of the beautiful Utah campus that will thus pictorially remain always as we have enjoyed it; a true and typical representation of all the phases of the University of Utah that we hope will bring praise to our university, our city, and our state. With the admission of the Law School of the University of Utah to the Association of American Law Schools at the 1929 meeting of the Association in New Orleans, has come the largest step in the growth of the Law School. It placed the University of Utah Law School on a parity with the leading law schools of the country, including such institutions as Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Michigan, and Stanford, and was a national recognition of the University as a whole as well as of the Law School. In addition to this, in 1926 the University of Utah Law Schooi was entered on the approved list of law schools throughout the country by the American Bar Association. Such honors as these deserve all the praise that can be given them. Thus, to the efforts of the people of the Law School, the 1931 Utonian has been dedicated in recognition of the great achievements which they have accomplished for the University f Jnuor(Jer to further emphasize the idea and the motif of the dedication, the arrangement of the book has been placed according to schools, with the Law School climaxing the division because of the honors it has recently achieved. Within the school sections, the pictures have been grouped according to the year of the students in the school: the Juniors lead, with the Sophomores and the Freshmen following. The graduates have not been placed according to schools but have been grouped in a special sub-division. A section of the opening pages of the Utonian has been set aside for student life that part of college that is most dear to the memories of every graduate, in a hope that the sight of its pictures and the reading of the description accompaning them may recall pleasant memories made vague and indistinct by time. In a type contest sponsored by the 1931 Utonian an endeavor has been made to choose the six co-eds of the University who most nearly represent the different vivid types of girls on the Utah campus. The staff has introduced the use of informal pictures throughout the book, with the printing of a number of full length photographs for many groups. In this way, it is hoped that the 1931 Utonian may present a more typical and larger scope of college life.
