The Student Body 157 was opened in June, 1894.7 In 1897 the department of mtwic was reorganized and made the School of Music with a separate faculty and organization.8 The School of Law was organized in 1897. It became the College of Law in 1900.9 In 1901 the General Assembly made an appropriation of $6,000 per annum for the establishment of " a school of social and political science and industrial economics,'' and in accordance with this action the Courses in Business Administration were organized. In 1915 these were erected into a separate College of Commerce and Business Administration.10 The School of Education was established in 1905. In 1906 a department of railway engineering was created. In the following year it was reorganized as the School of Railway Engineering and Administration. Graduate work was undertaken as early as 1892. In 1907 the legislature appropriated $50,000 for each of the next two years for the support of the Graduate School, and the school was definitely organized immediately, with an executive faculty. The College of Literature and Arts and the College of Science were united in 1913 to form the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.11 It will be noticed that there is a slight decrease in the number of students enrolled in 1911-12, and a larger decrease for 1912-13. The Academy connected with the University was discontinued in June, 1911. During the preceding year 304 students had attended the Academy. This loss more than offset the gain of 287 eollege students in the year 1911-12. The discontinuance of the College of Dentistry during the year 1912-13, and the consequent loss of the 125 students enrolled in that college, was responsible for the decrease of 113 in the total enrolment of the University for 1912-13. The enrolment was greatly affected by the entrance of the country into the war, in 1917. The attendance fell from 6,828 in 1916-17 to 5,590 in 1917-18. This loss was offset in 1918-19 by the organization of the Students' Army Training Corps, and the enrolment passed the 7,000 mark for the first time, making a *Bept., Univ. of 111., 1894, pp. 198, 214, 284, 271. *Rept., Univ. of 111., 1898, p. 125 •Kept., Univ. of HI., 1898, pp. 44, 72; Univ. of 111.
