�FouNDING, PURPOSE AND LocATION OF THE LAW ScHooL
7
Founding, Purpose and Location of the Law School
T
HE LAW SCHOOL was founded in 1859 with a sum of
money given by Thomas Hoyne, when there were only three
similar schools west of the Allegheny Mountains. The
first dean was Henry Booth, 1859-1891. For many years the School
was under the joint control of the old University of Chicago and
.of Northwestern University, and was known as the Union College
of Law. In 1891, the other University having long ceased to share
in the management and being about to surrender its charter, North·
western University assumed sole control, and the School has since
been an integral part of the University, and has borne its name.
The course of study is arranged to give a knowledge of the law
that will be indispensable to students wherever they may practice.
Graduates of the School are now located in nearly every state and
territory, as well as in foreign countries. Special courses are offered
for acquiring a knowledge of the law of Illinois.
The Case-study system, or the study of the principles of law as
illustrated in judicial opinions, is followed in most courses of instruction; but each instructor follows his ow,n judgment, in conducting the
classes by lectures, discussions, recitations, written exercises, or in any
way he deems best adapted to the subject. The extensive library of
the School, the Elbert H. Gary Library of Law, now located in its
own fireproof building, immediately adjoining the Law School, lends
itself peculiarly to modern and scientific methods of instruction.
The School is now located in its new building, Levy Mayer
Hall of Law, the gift of Mrs. Levy Mayer, in memory of her
husband, eminent at the Chicago Bar, on McKinlock Campus, near
Lake Michigan, at Lake Shore Drive and Chicago Avenue, Chicago.
Limitation of Number of Students
The total number of students, candidates for a degree, that may
be admitted each year will be fixed by the Faculty and published one
year in advance. The total number of regular students, old and
new, is limited to four hundred.

ACADEMIC DEGREES.
(I)
The fourth year of a college course leading to a bachelor's
degree in arts or science may be spent in law studies in this Law
School, so as to lead in seven years to degrees both in law a_n d in arts
or science, in one of the following ways:
(a) A member of the third or fourth year class in good standing
in the College of Liberal Arts of this University may elect work in
Law which shall count toward his degrees in both the College of
Liberal Arts and the Law School, so as to receive the degree of
Bachelor of Arts or Science at the end of his fourth year in thi1
University. The work elected cannot exceed one year's work in the
�10
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL
Law School, and each election is subject to the approval of both
Faculties.
(b) A student presenting three years of college credit from
another approved college of arts or science may, upon the satisfactory
completion of the first year's work in the Law School, receive from
this Faculty a certificate requesting the Faculty of his original college
to recognize his work in this Law School as the equivalent of a fourth
year in college and to recommend him for the degree of Bachelor of
Arts or Science in that college or university.
(c) A student presenting three years ot college credit from
another approved college of arts or science may, upon the satisfactory completion of the first year's work in the Law School, upon the
recommendation of the Law School Faculty, receive from this University the degree of Bachelor of Science in Law.
(2) The Master's degree in Arts will be conferred under the
following conditions:
A graduate of the College of Liberal Arts of this University, or
other college maintaining equivalent requirements for the Bachelor's
degree in Arts or Science, may obtain the Master's degree at the same
time with the degree of Juris Doctor by pursuing, with the sanction
of the Board of Graduate Studies, advanced work in subjects approved
by that Faculty, and obtaining credit to the amount of twelve semester-hours; and by presenting a thesis on an approved topic. The
courses of study must deal entirely with legal subjects; but courses of
legal study, in order to count for the degree, must be of an advanced
nature, must not otherwise be counted for the degree in law, and
must be pursued under the direction of a committee of three of the
Faculty of the Law School. If the candidate is obtaining his Juris
Doctor's degree· after only three years of College of Liberal Arts
work, the additional credits required for obtaining the Master's
degree must amount to thirty semester-hours.
Students in law, intending to become candidates for the Master's
degree, will register for the same degree in both the College of Liberal
Arts and the Law School on or before the first Monday in October
of the year in which they expect to graduate, and will pay the diploma
fee of twenty dollars. The Master's degree is open, upon the same
terms, to graduates of the Law School who register before the October next following the completion of their professional course.

Curriculum
1. GENERAL STATEMENT
In preparing the curriculum and requirements for the four-year
course of studies leading to the degree of J,D., the Faculty of Law
has kept in view the following principal objects:
( 1) To ensure for every graduate a thorough training in the
use of original sources, and a rigid mental discipline, with a view to
the formation of those habits of independent legal thinking which
ought to be the fundamental possession of every member of the legal
profession ;
(2) To ensure for every graduate a general intelligent acquaintance with the elemental principles in the entire orthodox compass of
the technical subjects of law, and thus to qualify him to do mature
work in the later stages of his study and to equip him to approach
any legal problem without serious gaps in large fields of essential
legal information ;
(3) To ensure for every graduate some understanding of those
liberal legal subjects which develop breadth of view and qualify him
to render public service as a leader of professional and civic thought;
(4) To attain these results, in point of method, by using the
most approved practices, and in particular by assuring to every student, on the part of the Faculty, from time to time, an individual
valuation of the quality of his work, and a personal attention to his
individual needs and capacities for attaining the expected standards.
The special features of the curriculum and requirements described
below are based directly on one or another ?f those objectives.

5. EXERCISES IN FORENSIC WRITING, SPEAKING
AND PRACTICE
As a part of the systematic instruction represented in the foregoing curriculum, an effort is made to provide adequate training in
the practical use of legal knowledge and in certain important forms
of legal writing and speaking · which help materially to equip the
accomplished lawyer. Some of the various branches of work
directed to this end are as follows:
Pleadings and Other Instruments-The work of the Practice
Court necessarily involves the drafting of the requisite pleadings. In
other courses, particularly in Commercial Paper, Carriers, Insurance,
Transactional Instruments, Legal Bibliography, attention is paid to
the forms of instruments in common use.
Conveyancing-In the course on Conveyancing the chief material
consists of a series of selected abstracts of title representing a great
variety of documents and proceedings involving property rights.
Trial Practice-The courses on Procedure and Practice give a
systematic and detailed survey of the rules of law. The course on
Evidence includes an auxiliary drill in the use of the rules. The
Practice Court gives the third year student opportunity to become
practically familiar with these rules by the application of them in
litigation managed by himself.
Editorial Work-To edit and digest for the profession the opinion
and record of a decided case is of great value in cultivating the skill
required in preparing briefs and analyzing precedents. Each year
not more than seven second and third-year students of known ability
are appointed Associate Editors of the Illinois Law Review, to digest
manuscript decisions of the Appellate Court, and to prepare commen ts on recent judicial opinions.
�27
COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
Legal Clinic-Members of the third-year class are assigned for
six hours a week for one semester to the main office and the district
offices of the Legal Aid Bureau of the United Charities of Chicago
and the Raymond Foundation, where they work under the direction
of a member of the Law School faculty, the eight attorneys of the
Bureau, and the attorney of the Raymond Foundation. In addition,
the class meets one hour a week at the Law School for instruction.
An examination is given at the end of the course and a passing grade
required of all students before graduation.
Labor Law and Industrial Injuries - Members of the courses
in Labor Law and Industrial Injuries, which are given yearly, are
required to carry on in connection with the Illinois Industrial Commission a certain amount of clinic work, as it may be arranged for
by the instructor in charge. The University is llnique in offering
experience of this character, both because of its general policy to
combine the theoretical with the practical, but also because of the
fact that the Industrial Commission of one of the nation's leading
ind4strial States is located in the same city with the University.
Permanent office space has been assigned to the work of the clinic
by the Industrial Commission, which is in complete accord with the
objectives of the University.
·
One semester-hour of credit is allowed students who do the clinic
work in connection either with Industrial Injuries or Labor Law,
and this hour may be offered in substitution for Codes and Revised
Statutes, or Office Briefs.
The course on Public Records System ( Illinois Law) takes the
class personally to the various record-offices.
·
The course on Criminal Clinic gives the students experience in
investigating facts and preparing for trial.

and of a third foundation for defense of poor persons accused of
crime, has been placed at the disposition of the Faculty of Law.

Julius Rosenthal (1828-1905), an eminent and beloved member
of the Chicago Bar, and librarian of the Chicago Law Institute for
nearly 40 years, and the most learned lawyer of his time in Chicago,
did more than any other one man to establish the best standards of
legal scholarship in this region, and by numerous gifts of books indicated his interest in the welfare of this School.
The CHARLES C. LINTHICUM Foundation is applicable to the
general purpose of cultivating research, study, and instruction in the
fields of the law of patents, trademarks, copyright, or other topics of
the law involving the development of trade, industry, and commerce;
and specifically by means of the delivery of lectures or other form of
instruction; the publication of meritorious essays, monographs, or
books; the aid of research or preparation for publication ; the award
of prizes to meritorious essays, monographs, or books, already written

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN
PRESENTATION OF FLAGS
BY JONAS H. MAYER, '18
I have been thinking, as I sat here
this evening listening to all the old
songs, how much they carried the burden of one thing, Loyalty.
It is not a surprising thing to find
Loyalty in the undergraduate colleges
of the country, and it is to be expected that Loyalty to School and Country should be there deYeloped. It is
however, somewhat unusual to find
that Loyalty, which has always existed at Northwestern University Law
School, in a school s>JCh as this, a
post-graduate school. Northwestern
University Law School calls to its
doors men and women from undergraduate colleges all over the country, with love and loyalty to their
own school in their hearts when they
enter. It is gratifying then to note
how that Loyalty bec0mes fused in
the great melting pot of Northwestern University Law School, until it
reaches its culmination in Loyalty to
our own School, our State, and our
Country. It is Loyalty such as this
that has always sent men from Northwestern University Law School into
the ranks of our Army and Navy and
into the service of our Government.
our hopes, a new Law School, it is
well to remember that this School and
this Country are ours to love and to
hold just so long as the rest .of the
world realizes ·that we are ready, willing, and able to defend them.
In memory of the men who at the
call of Country abandoned occupation,
profession, and studies to answer the
call, there is to be placed in the new
building that will serve our Law
School, a War-Service Memorial. In
connection with this Memorial, we
have caused to be prepared two silk
flags, the flag of Our School, and
the flag of our Country, in lasting
memory of the men who have so nobly
shown their Loyalty to School and
State and Country.
In memory of the men who gave
their lives on the field of battle, because of the Loyalty which was instilled in their hearts for both School
and Country, and as an inspiration to
the future generations of students to
come, it is my high honor and privilege to present, through the Dean of
Northwestern University Law School,
the standards of our School and
Col\ntry, with the assurance that the
emblem of our School will yield in
our hearts to only one other, that of
our Country.
And when I say Loyalty, I do not
mean passive Loyalty, I mean active
Loyalty. For, unless Loyalty is active, there is no Loyalty. And may ·

went to Bowdoin College, where he
was graduated at the age of twentyone. Determined to be a lawyer, he,
after the manner of his time, went
to Philadelphia for study. Under the
tutelage of William T. Dwight, son
of the late President Dwight of Yale
College, and afterwards of Thomas
Bradford, Jr., was admitted to the
Pennsylvania Bar in 1833. Two
years later he moved to Galena in
Jo Daviess County, where he built
up a large and successful practice in
a community the fame of whose lor.al
Bar at that period still survives.
At that time all of Illinois constituted but one District in our Ferieral
judicial system. Nathaniel Pope had
served as District Judge from the creation of that District until 1850,
when President Taylor namecl Mr.
Drummond as his successor. Then for
thirty-four years, first in the District
of Illinois and afterwards in the
Northern District of Illinois w hen
the state was divided, and then after
1870 as Circuit Judge for the Seventh Judicial District, Jud ge Drummond sat on the Federal Court, increasingly gaining the respect, the
confidence and the affection of not
only the Bar but the people of the
three great states. For many years
towards the end of his service he was
held as our foremnst jurist. While
he was on the District Court Bench
he performed the duties of the Circuit Judge to an unusually great extent. When on the Circuit Bench he
came into. a period of railroad receiverships and reorganizations, and he
administered with almost universal
satisfaction the affairs of companies,
the aggregate indebtedness of which
5
exceeded three hundred million dollars and the stock issues of which were
nearly twice that amount. For .this
and his pioneer work, especially in
land title suits and disputes in admiralty, he became known through
the country, and his wise decisions
served as precedents. He was the first
to lay down the rule that in a railroad
receivership wages du.e workmen and
sums due for supplies. had preference
over bonded indebtedness. Some of
his judgments have been quoted in
English tribunals. His decisions appear in Federal Cases from 1850 on
and in the Federal Reports in Volumes 1 to 21, inclusive.
When this School was founded by
Thomas Hoyne in 1859, Judge
Drummond took part as Chairman of
the first Board of Counsellors, and
held that position till 1865. He is
therefore entitled to honor as the
foster-father of the School and as a
pioneer of legal education in the West.
In 1884, at the age of seventy-five,
he voluntarily retired and was succeeded by Judge Walter Q. Gresham.
His last public appearance was in
1888, when he presided at a Bar banquet to honor his close friend, Melville W. Fuller, then recently appointed Chief Justice of the United States
Supreme Court. He died at Wheaton
in 1890. He was a man of vigorous
intellect, well disciplined in early
early life, an accomplished scholar
and a profound Judge. He was
learned and tolerant, creative, impartial, and fearless. He loved justice.
The artist, George P. A. Healy,
was the most famous painter of the

generation which Judge Drummond
knew. Born in Boston four years
after Judge Drummond, he died in
Chicago four years after his friend.
Through the influence of William B.
Ogden he came from Paris to Chicago in 1855, and then, save for journeys back, resided here. He painted
"Webster's Reply to Hayne," now in
Faneuil Hall. He painted great portraits of Calhoun, Webster, Pierce,
Buchanan , Lincoln, General Cass,
Louis Philippe, and Marshal Soult.
He was one of our most beloved
townsmen.
On February 1) 1913, the surviving children of Judge Drummond presented to the United States District
Court for the Northern District of
Illinois, a portrait of Judge Drummond painted by Ralph Clarkson of
this city. Now through the generosity of Mr. James J. Drummond,
a son of the Judge, our School is to
have the first portrait for which the
great Judge sat. We assure the donor
of our deep appreciation . This School
will always be responsive to that ancient service of its foster-father. The
portrait, to young and growing minds,
will tell of the man who came from
Maine and by his toil and through
his vision did great work in the building up of our country. For centuries
may his example point the way.
HENRY SARGENT TOWLE
BY JOHN H. WIGMORE
The name of Henry Towle will
ever occupy an honored and affectionate place in the history of the School;
for duri ~g his chairmanship of the
Law School Committee of the Board
of Trustees of Northwestern U niversity, he was the benevolent shepherd
of its inter~sts, and may be looked
upon as the father of its welfare during a period of struggle and progress.
His chairmanship lasted for nearly
twenty years. During that time he
saw to it that the plans of the Faculty
of Law were adequately presented to
the, Board and were sympathetically
supported. I had occasion, better than
any other member of the Faculty, to
know his deep interest in the School's
welfare, for he was chairman at the
beginning of my incumbency and it
was through him that all measures
for the School's improvement were
presented by me to the Board. It was
from him that I received the telegram, on landing in New York in
1901, on my return from the Netherlands, inviting me to become dean of
the Faculty; and thereafter our meetings were frequent.
Mr. Towle's early career was cast
in the thrilling days of the Civil War.
Born in 1842, at Mishawaka, Indiana, and educated at Valparaiso
College, he was entering manhoo-d at
the outbreak of the war in '61. After
repeatedly volunteering for enlistment,
and repeatedly being rejected by the
army surgeons, he finally obtained a
post in the Sanitary Commission ( socalled), organized by the war-governor Morton of Indiana. This service was virtually that of an ambulance
corps; and young Towle was sent to
the front to care for the wounded,
and here he saw service in several
important battles. Being invalided
home with camp fe ver, he recovered
and returned to service, this time in
�NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN
the neighborhood of Washington. At
the close of the war he became private
secretary to Schuyler Colfax, a family friend , then Speaker of the House
of Representatives and afterwards
Vice-President of the United States.
His friendship with Colfax lasted
through life. During his sojourn in
Washington, he became a devoted admirer of Abraham Lincoln ; and on
the night of the martyred President's
assassination , he was one of those who
watched all night outside the house
where the President lay dying. His
letters to the family at this period
give a vivid picture of the youth's
sense of patriotic horror at the national dangers with which rumor then
filled the atmosphere of Washington.
In the next year he came West
again, graduated from the Law School
of the University of Michigan ( then
under the famous leadership of Judge
Cooley), and in 1867 settled in Chicago. At first in the office of Orrington and Dent, he later entered the
firm of Goodwin, Larned and Towle.
This firm became afterwards Offield
and Towle, and still later Offield,
Towle and Linthicum; Charles Linthicum was for twenty years lecturer
on patent law in the School; and the
firm occupied a leading position in
the practice of patent law in Chicago.
About 1916, the Law School Committee of the Board of Truste"es was
discontinued; and later Mr. Towle
retired from practice, spending part
of his time in San Diego, until his
decease in 1924.
His loyalty and personal interest
in the School were exemplified in an
especial degree by his offer of an an-
7
nual prize, up to the time of his
death, for excellence in debate. The
Towle Prize Debate was an event
which will recall vivid memories in
the minds of many graduates. It represented the first and only attempt in
a law school to encourage debate on
distinctly legal topjcs, suitable for
stimulating thought on strictly professional lines. It is gratifying to be
able to announce that his daughter,
Miss Helen Towle, has undertaken to
revive m his name the Towle Prize
Debate.
This portrait by Christian Abrahamsen will worthily preserve for future generations the name of one to
whose genial and affectionate interest
the School owes so much.

JOHN JAY
FREDERIC B. CROSSLEY, '99
The subject of this painting was
born in the City of New York on
the 12th day of December, 1745. His
youth is said to have offered nothing
that was remarkable, except that he
never seemed to be young, in the ordinary sense of the word; and the
balanced way of life, often the result
of experience, seems in him to have
been innate. "Johnny," said his
• father, "is of very grave disposition
and takes to learning exceedingly
well." He entered Kings College,
now Columbia University, at the age
of 14. For a breach of discipline committed in his presence, several students
were expelled. He refused to reveal
the names of his fello w-students and
shared their fate. Later, he was al1owed to return and finished his col-
�8
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN
lege course without further incident.
In his last year as an undergraduate,
he determined upon the study of law
and began his preparation by a study
of Grotius, delivering upon graduation in 1764, a much admired dissertation upon the blessings of peace.
Immediately upon graduation he
bound himself as an apprentice for
five years to Benjamin Kissam, an
eminent barrister of the day. In 1768
he was admitted to the bar and formed
a temporary partnership with Robert
R. Livingston, later Secretary of
State, Chancellor of New York, and
negotiator of the treaty which added
the territory of Louisiana to the
United States. In 1771 , at the age
of 28, he was a successful lawyer, and
this year notes the end of his private
career at the bar.
He became active first as a conservative, then as an ardent advocate
of the cause of the revolutionists.
Chosen a delegate to the first Continental Congress, which met in Philadelphia on September 5, 1774, he
drafted, at the request of the Congress, an appeal to the people of
Great Britain, said by Jefferson to be
"the product of the first pen in America." In 1776 he was elected a member of the New York Provincial Congress and from that day was one of
the revolutionary leaders. In 1777 he
drafted the Constitution of New
York, which remained in force, with
minor changes, until 1846. While this
constitution was necessarily i:lrafted
hastily, it was generally regarded as
the most excellent of all the American constitutions, and it has been
claimed that it was the model of the
National Constitution of 1787. Under
the new government of New York,
he was appointed Chief Justice, a position which it is said that he preferred
to the Governorship. In 1779 he resigned this position for a seat in Congress, and had hardly taken his seat
when he was elected President of
Congress. He resigned this position
shortly thereafter to accept the appointment as Minister to Spain, later,
in 1782, being transferred to Paris,
where he was active in th~ preparation of a draft of a treaty with England. His training as a lawyer, as
well as his judicial attitude of mind,
enabled him to serve his country well
in the negotiations which resulted in
the peace treaty of 1783. He returned
to New York in 1784, to find that
Congress had two months previously
appointed him Secretary for Foreign
Affairs, which position he accepted
and retained until his appointment to
the Federal bench in 1789. He was
offered his choice of office by President Washington and chose the judiciary. His tenure of office as Chief
Justice of the Federal Court was far
from remarkable, because of the conditions existing du,ing this formative
period of the government. Prdbably
the most famous and important case
decided during the period of his occupancy of the position of Chief J ustice was the case of Chisholm v.
Jordan , 2 Dallas, 419, in which the
Chief Justice held that a State of the
Union was suable in the Supreme
Court at the instance of a private
suitor of a sister State. In 1794 he
was appointed Special Envoy to Great
Britain, to negotiate a new treaty.
He landed in England June 8, 1794,
and in November of the same year the
treaty was signed. For this treaty he
�NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN
deserves hardly less honor than for
the treaty of 1783, for, while the
latter treaty may have been a greater
achievement, it did little more than
put an end to a war that was at the
time non-existent, whereas the treaty
of 1794 prevented the outbreak of a
war that threatened daily.
On his return from England, he
found that during his absence he had
been elected Governor of New York,
to which position he was re-elected in
1798. He resigned as Chief Justice
of the United States June 29, 1795.
Upon the completion of six years'
service as Governor of New York,
he had completed twenty-three years
of public service, and in 1801 he retired to his home in Bedford, where
he lived the life of a peaceful country
gentleman, until removed by death
on May 14, 1829.
This portrait is a copy from a
painting by Gilbert Stuart, now in
the Metropolitan Museum, New
York City, owned by Augustus Jay;
and is loaned to Northwestern University Law School by John Jay
Wurts of Chicago, a descendant of
the Chief Justice.

HERBERT SPENCER
HADLEY, '94
BY FREDERIC P. VosE, '94
The Class of 1894, Northwestern
University Law School is proud to
present to the school the portrait of
its distinguished mate, the honorable
Herbert Spencer Hadley.
Mr. Hadley was born at Olathe,
Kansas, February 20, 1872. His
9
father, Major John Milton Hadley,
was a descendant of the Quaker Hadleys of North Carolina, and his
mother, Harriett Beach Hadley, descended from John Beach, the Pilgrim
who landed on these shores in 1640.
The son naturally combines the
charming companionship and oratorical ability of the South with the stern
devotion to duty which characterized
his Puritan forebear.
After graduating from the U niversity of Kansas with a degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1892, he entered the
Northwestern University Law School
in the fall of that year, graduating
with first honors and the degree of
Bachelor of Laws in 1894. While a
student in the Law School he joined
with others in founding the Northwestern Law Review, the predecessor
of the present well and favorably
known Illinois Law Review. He was
on the prize-winning debating teams
representing Northwestern U niversity, and gave evidence of the capacity
and power which have crowned his
subsequent career.
At the conclusion of his law course
Mr. Hadley entered the general practice in Kansas City, Missouri, and
continued therein from '94 to '98,
when he was appointed First Assistant Corporation Counsel and placed
in charge of trial work for Kansas
City. So well did he discharge his
duties from 1898 to 1901 that he was
elected and served as Prosecuting Attorney of Jackson County from 1901
to 1903.
Mr. Hadley gained a state-wide
reputation as a successful prosecutor
of criminal offenders. As a reward
�10
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN
he ,was elected to the important position of Attorney General for Missouri, which position he held from
1905 to 1909. His resourceful and
formidable opposition to the Standard
Oil Company, the Harvester, Insurance and Lumber Trusts, and the
race track gamblers of St. Louis,
gained for him a nation wide reputation as champion in the strict enforcement of State and Federal laws.
The people of Missouri so thoroughly believed in Mr. Hadley that
they elected him Governor in 1909,
for a four year term. As Chief Executive of the State he acquitted himself with high honor.
Northwestern University in 1914,
the University of Missouri, and Missouri Valley College, recognizing his
capacity and character, conferred upon
Mr. Hadley the honorary degree of
Doctor of Laws.
At the expiration of his term as
Governor he became special counsel
for the railways west of Chicago in
the matter relating to the Federal
valuation of railroad property; and in
this assignment he labored successfully from 1913 to 1916.
· In the counsels of the Republican
Party he was regarded as an outstanding leader, and in the Republican National Conventions, to which he went
as a delegate at large in 1908, 1912,
and 1916, he fell but little short of
nomination for the presidency.
From 1917 to 1923 he was a Professor of Law in the University of
Colorado, and acted as counsel for
the State Railway Commission of
Colorado from 1919 to 1921. ·
In 1903 Mr. Hadley was eiected
Chancellor of Washington University, St. Louis, which high position
he still occupies to the satisfaction of
the trustees, faculty, alumni and under-graduate students.
Mr. Hadley has through the years
made his influence felt as a member
of the Council of the American Law
Institute, particularly in connection
with his duties as Chairman of the
Committee on Investigation of Defects in the Administration of Criminal Justice.
He is the author of several treatises
and books: "The Standard Oil
Trust"; "What the Railroads Owe
the People"; "Rome and the World
Today"; "Codifications of Justinian
and Napoleon."
His is the rare combination of a
man of letters and of action ; a wise
counselor and stirring orator; humanitarian and statesman ; a winsome personality bearing modestly the honors
of a distinguished career. It is altogether fitting that his name be thus
memorialized by presentation to his
Law School of this striking portrait.
FRANK ORRE N LOWDEN, '87
BY GORDAN A. RAMSEY, '97
Sometime ago John Smulski, banker and chairman of the Polish Relief
Fund, was asked about Frank Lowden, and replied,
"It would take me weeks to tell a
fraction of the good I know about
him, but I can summarize by saying
we were poor boys together. Lowden
�NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN
studied hard and became a great lawyer. Shortly after he was married he
took up practical farming. He always devoted a large percentage of
his time to the public welfare, and
was the great war governor of Illinois. He is a statesman who can think
not merely in local and national, but
in international terms, and above all,
he is a good friend."
To the older alumni there is nothing I can tell, because they know him
and are perfectly familiar with all
the good and great things which he
has accomplished. To the younger
alumni, and especially to this year's
graduating class, I may be able to
point out a few things that may serve
as an encouragment and an inspiration to them, because he is not a remote personality, but one of them, an
alumnus of our law school, a man
who has not passed into history, but
who each day is doing his part in
making America a better place to
live in. ·
Smul; ki said, "We were poor boys
together" ; meaning when he first
knew Frank Lowden; but long previous to that Lowden was a poor boy,
and by that I mean "poor" in the
material things of life; but he was
rich in having good parents and having been raised in the country where
he had plenty of outdoor work, built
up a strong body to house a wonderful
brain, which with industry and application has enabled him to succeed
in his various undertakings.
Frank Lowden was born at Sunrise, Minnesota. His father was the
village blacksmith. When Frank
11
Lowden was a small boy his family
moved to Iowa, and you can picture
young Lowden on this trip trudging
along behind the covered wagon at
times in order to save the team. He
went to the public schools and to the
University of Iowa, paying for his
college course by teaching, and graduating with highest honors, the valedictorian of his class. He had chosen
the law as his life's profession and
came to Chicago, having taken up
meanwhile the comparatively new occupation of stenography, and secured
a position as clerk and stenographer
with the law firm of Dexter, Herrick and Allen. He entered the Union
College of Law, now Northwestern
Univer-sity Law School, and in due
course again graduated with honors,
and in a few years became one of the
leaders of the Chicago bar.
Smulski, said, "Lowden studied
hard"; and I want to impress on these
young men that Lowden's success is
due largely to his studying and studying hard. He never takes anything
for granted and is still studying. In
fact, he is now on his way to Denmark to study agricultural and marketing conditions of that country;
otherwise, he would be with us tonight. Frank Lowden has always had
an interest in farming, as he knows
well that the permanent prosperity of
our country is closely linked with the
prosperity of the farmer. He knows
that we must have agricultural conditions in the United States such that
the farmer who produces the necessities of life will have not merely a
living wage, but one which will yield
him a profit, which will enable him to
keep his self respect, lay up some-

thing for his old age and educate his
family.
Frank 0. Lowden is not only a
great lawyer, but he is a business man
of broad experience, and this combination served the State of Illinois
well when he was governor. There
is not time here to enumerate his
striking achievements during these
four trying years, coincident with the
war, wh ich brought heavy added responsibilities and complications to the
chief executive of this great state,
with a composite population blended
of many diverse elements, racial sympathy and prejudice. So I will only
point out a few which impressed me,
and which I think illustrate his ability, statesmanship, patriotism and
broad vision.
Again, Lowden, the patriot, was
the first governor to offer the resources of the State of Illinois to the
President of the United States when
war was declared ; and Lowden, the
statesman, organized the first State
Council of Defense. This council was
of vital importance to the State and
N atiop, and membership on that body
was prized and eagerly sought. Its
personnel had to be of unquestioned
Americanism·, regardless of party,
race or creed. In looking over the list
of the members of this Council, we
can see now even more clearly than
at the time of its creation, how Governor Lowden selected it with the utmost care and discrimination, not
choosing personal friends nor political
associates, but selecting men and women solely for their fitness, so that
as far as possible all creeds and classes
should be represented and work together to assist in winning the war.
After he was elected Governor and
before he was inaugurated, Lowden,
the lawyer, drafted the Civil Administrative Code, and discussed it with

honorable business practices.
As a statesman of ability and experience, his activities have been in
many fields. He served with distinction in Congress from the thirteenth
district of Illinois. He served in the
State Militia, having been Lieutenant
Colonel of the First Illinois. He has
served on many National Boards looking to the public welfare. He is now
chairman of 'the Illinois Division of
the National Crime Commission. His
work as chairman of the Farmers'
Cooperative Marketing Committee
has been of untold value to this Nation. He has served and is serving his
State and Country well and fearlessly,
without personal gain.
He was a good friend of Northwestern University and its law school
before it grew to occupy its present
high position in the educational world.
He was a good friend of John H.
Wigmore, our beloved dean, before
Wigmore became the leader of legal
education in America. He knows the
law school, not merely through being
one of its alumni, but from his experience as instructor in our class
rooms and as president of this Alumni
Association.
We owe our thanks to the Law
Alumni Trustees who voted to place
this portrait on these walls, and to
Mrs. Lowden who made it possible
for us to possess this great masterpiece, which I now have the honor to
present to you. The artist is Ralph
Clarkson, whose studio is on the Rock
13
River, not far from the Lowden farm
near Oregon, Illinois.
ALBERT MARTIN KALES
BY CARL R. LATHAM, '95
One ·of my early recollections as a
child is of having my mother quote
to me an old saying to this effect:
"Tell me the company you keep
and the books you read and I will tell
you who you are."
All of us realize that our lives bear
indelible marks that have come as the
result of our contact and association
with certain men .and women of
strong forceful pe~sonality. Not infrequently one's whole outlook on
some subject is completely changed by
the reading of some powerful book or
masterful dissertation.
It is accordingly fitting that the
memory of those, who through their
force of character and superior attainments have made an impression ·on
the period in which they live, should
be preserved for succeeding generations, so that the example and achievements of such men may be both an
inspiration and a blessing to those
who are yet to come.
Albert Martin Kales was such a:
man. He was a thorough student, an
author of note, and an unusually able
advocate. He had a fine mind, was
independent in thought, and most
frank and straightforward in his manner and methods. His opinion was
little affected by the fact that in maintammg his position he might be decidedly in the minority, or that his
�14
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN
views might not meet with popular
favor. His conclusions were reached
after careful consideration, and he
had great confidence in his judgment
when he had definitely reached a decision. He expected others to be direct with him and he in turn always
went straight to the point.
earlier years of their professional life.
With Albert Kales, however, it was
otherwise; he apparently picked out
the branches of the law which appealed to him, then studied in such
fields intensively, and had confidence
that his special knowledge so acquired
would be sought in actual practice.
He had unusual ability for . clear
and concise statement. The real facts
and the actual truth of a matter were
what interested him. He was intellectually too honest to feel that their
·statement ever required any special
tact or grace of expression. The wiles
of diplomacy and the art of avoiding
the meeting of an issue squarely had
no appeal for him. While he was always considerate of others, yet if the
truth hurt he felt he was in no way
at fault for any possible wound its
mere statement might have caused.
Shortly after his death Professor
Wigmore, in writing of Professor
Kales, said :
In the comparatively early years of
his professional life he decided that he
wanted experience in trying jury
cases. He soon found an opportunity
for trial work, and for a time he defended personal injury cases. This
line of work, however, did not long
satisfy him, and he shortly turned his
talents in other directions. His work
in the field in which he was best
know, that relating to Estates and
Future Interests, was the result of
deliberate choice and a desire to study
and to make investigation in this
branch of the law rather than to any
mere accident of practice.
"His character exhibited one of
those rarest instances of pure reason,
,operating constantly, forcefully, and
impartially upon every subject placed
before it, and uninfluenced by any bias
-of emotion or temperament except the
natural dictates of honor and high
moral principle."
In an unusual degree Mr. Kales
•directed the course of his own professional career rather than allowed it
to be shaped by circumstances. With
most members of the profession any
specialization in their practice is usually accidental, and is largely due to
having had some particular class of
legal business come to them in the
After Mr. Kales graduated from
the Harvard Law ·School in 1899 he
began the practice of his profession in
Chicago. From 1902 to 1917 he was
a member of the faculty of the Northwestern University Law School, lecturing on Property. His first book,
a small volume on Homestead Exemption Laws in Illinois, was published in 1902. Later he prepared a
number of case books for law students, and also wrote a treatise on
Restraint of Trade. His best known
book is that on Estates and Future
Interests. His most notable work was
in this field; as an authority on the
law of Real Property no one other
than his former teacher, Professor
Gray of Harvard Law School , could
�NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN
be said to have stood higher, and he
only by seniority.
During the period of his connection with the Law School he was also
Associate Editor of the Illinois Law
Review, and contributed a number of
articles which gave evidence of the
finish and force of his style as well
as of his legal talent.
He was an ardent advocate of reform in the method of selecting our
judges, and also in the organization
and administration of our courts.
About 1912 he drafted for the American Judicature Society its proposed
Model Acts for the Unified Organization of Courts.
He died on July 26, 1922, at the
early age of 4 7. In his death the legal
profession and the community at large
suffered a most serious loss.
During fifteen of the best years of
his life Mr. Kales was associated with
the Northwestern University Law
School, and his name and influence
will never be forgotten by the alumni
who studied under him. It is accordingly most fitting that his memory should be honored; and I am indeed pleased, on behalf of members
of his famil y, to present his portrait
to the Law School.
GEORGE PURCELL
COSTIGAN, JR.
BY GRIER MOORE SHOTWELL,
'24
Among the portraits that have been
presented tonight, are those of men
who have distinguished themselves by
15
outstanding achievements in the realm
of statesmanship and broad public
service. It is my privilege and pleasure to present, on behalf of the Law
School Alumni Trustees, the portrait
of one highly renowned as a teacher,
as a writer of legal texts and a contributor to legal periodicals. It is
especially gratifying to me to have this
opportunity to pay tribute to Professor George P . Costigan, Jr. as the
teacher and friend of all who knew
him in his association with the Law
School.
As we enjoy this occasion together,
it is perfectly natural that we should
look forward with pleasant anticipation to the early comp~etion of our
new Law School building. The architect's drawings, and the now partially
completed structure, reveal an exterior of dignity and singular beauty.
It is well that this should be, for I
am convinced that the physical characteristics of the building will have
an important effect upon the ideals
and aspirations as well as upon the
whole mental attitude of prospective
students.
My own initial enthusiasm for the
study of law was considerably dampened when I first saw the building in
which Northwestern Law School has
been located for many years. That
impression was of walls begrimed with
smoke and dir t, and of the confused
noise of traffic in adjoining streets
where elevated trains passed with intermittent roar and clanging street cars
and vehicles of trade and commerce
moved with an accompanying din.
But this feeling soon passed, for
once within the Law School I real-
�16
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN
ized that there was something which
distinguished it and set it apart from
the commonplace character of its surroundings. As I entered I saw the
portraits of Charles Evans Hughes
and of the late Chief Justice White;
nearby, a bronze placque of Roosevelt, and a bronze bust of Lincoln.
Along the halls, and from above the
book stacks in the library, many other
faces looked down in friendly fashion,
and I felt somehow linked up with
them in an undertaking of common
interest.
Year by year additional pictures
and valuable manuscripts are being
added to this Northwestern collection
through the untiring effort of Dean
Wigmore and the foresight of the
trustees of the Alumni Association.
Already we have the portraits of several who have served on the faculty
of our law school with as much ability as faithfulness. Tonight we add
the portrait of another-George P.
Costigan, Jr., who for many years
contributed materially to the high reputation which Northwestern Law
School enjoys.
It might truly be said of him, as it
once was said of Agassiz,
"His magic was not far to seek,
He was so human."
He not only instructed, but inspired
and encouraged his students as well.
It seemed to me that he succeeded
far beyond the average teacher in
arousing the interest and in stimulating the thought of all who sat in his
classes.
Professor ~ostigan was well
equipped for his place in the Law
School. He had received the degrees
of Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts,
and Bachelor of Laws from Harvard
University. He had been, for a time,
actively engaged in the practice of
law at Salt Lake City, Utah, and in
New York City, and when he came
to Northwestern Law School in 1909
he had already gained recognition as
a teacher of law. In 1913 the University of Nebraska conferred upon
him the honorary degree of Doctor
of Laws. He was for a number of
years, while a professor in our Law
School, the Editor-in-Chief of the
Illinois Law Review, and during this
time steadily extended his fame as an
author of legal texts and as a compiler of case books which are now
widely used. Among them was a work
on "The Performance of Contracts,"
"Mining Law," case books on "Wills
and the Law of Descent," and "Contracts." Among the courses which he
taught were Contracts, Trusts, Wills
and Quasi-Contracts.
Professor Costigan's connection
with the Law School continued until
1922. In the changing order of things
Professor Costigan went from Northwestern to the University of California. We were sorry to lose him,
but neither time nor distance will
work any diminution of the respect
and regard we haye for him.
His portrait, so ably executed by
Mrs. Rieber of Berkeley, California,
will be, in coming years, a constant
reminder to Northwestern men of
Professor Costigan's loyal and substantial contribution to Northwestern's progress.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
BY ANDREW ALEXANDER BRUCE
In making this presentation I am
but the mouth-piece. The voice is
my voice, but the gift is the gift of
the Alumni of the Law School of
Northwestern University. Great
though the portrait is and great the
gift, greater still is the man whom the
gift portrays and the spirit that inspired the giving.
The name of Abraham Lincoln is
familiar everywhere. Especially is it
familiar in Illinois and in this the
oldest of Illinois' law schools. For
many years our classes have been held
on the site of the old Tremont House,
from the balcony of which the great
emancipator delivered the first of the
so-called Lincoln-Douglas debates.
On our walls are inscribed Lincoln's
code of legal ethics- "Resolve to be
honest at all events; if in your judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer,
resolve to be honest without being a
lawyer." Always our ideal has been
his ideal of liberty and progress, but
liberty and progress under an established law. Always with him we
said:
"Let every American, every lover
of liberty, every well-wisher to his
posterity, swear by the blood of the
Revolution never to violate in the
least particular the laws of his country, and never to tolerate their violaLet reverence for the
tion
laws be breathed by every American
mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap; let it be written in
primers
preached from , the
pulpits
proclaimed in legis-
17
lative halls . . . enforced in courts
of justice
in short, let it become the political religion of the nation."
·
Many of our early graduates knew
Mr. Lincoln personally, and perhaps
all of them were inspired by his leadership. Among those early graduates
was Nelson Thomasson of the class of
1860, who, in a letter which you will
find printed in the History of Northwestern University, tells us that on
the occasion of the famous Illinois
Central Tax Case, Dean Henry
Booth adjourned his classes "so that
they might be able to attend the trial
and to learn more than he could teach
them." "We accepted the offer," Mr.
Thomason says in his letter, "Henry
C. Whitney was the oldest man now
living who attended lectures that
year. He had been a circuit rider with
Abraham Lincoln. He was a warm
personal friend of Lincoln, always
had a seat by Mr. Lincoln and took
me with him; and so for many days
and weeks we saw a great deal of Mr.
Lincoln. Of course we students knew ·
what we were there for and listened
with a great deal of interest, not to
Mr. Lincoln alone, but to all of the
lawyers. Edward F. Joy .was a wonderful barrister and Dave Stewart
was another. As to Mr. Lincoln we
could always find him in the courtroom a short while before the court
opened, and he always had a new
One thing I
story to tell
remember distinctly about Mr. Lincoln was the great cheerfulness which
seemed to possess him at that time,
though I thought a great deal of it
was forced. In his speech before the
jury he did what we have seen writ-
�18
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN
ten about him often, that is, he dwelt
upon certain points and brought them
home to the jury repeatedly, and we
youngsters thought that he repeated
these points too often; but nevertheless he won his case thereby."
Always we have leaned upon Abraham Lincoln; always we have felt
that he was of us and that he would
have understood us. If in his student
days there had been any law schools
west of the Alleghany Mountains, we
know that he would have wished to
have attended them, for there can be
no doubt that he appreciated the value
of a thorough legal training and constantly regretted the disadvantages
that had been his. Of course you remember the incident of the famous
McCormick Harvester case. The future president had been snubbed by
his college trained associate, Stanton,
and had been given a very minor part.
But when asked by his life-long friend
Mr. Ralph Emerson of Rockford , if
he did not think that he had been unfairly treated, with the magnaminity
of real greatness and the willingness
to learn even from defeat that were
among his greatest virtues, he replied :
"Perhaps so, Emerson, but did you
hear Stanton's closing argument? It
was the finest legal effort I have ever
listened to. Emerson, I have learned
something. Those college fellows are
coming West. They will soon get
into Illinois. Emerson, I am going
home to study law."
These memories have been ours and
now the generosity of the alumni has
given us this portrait. We needed it
and we will cherish it. We have
needed it because we are American
lawyers. We have needed it because
the ideal of this school has been to
be a school of American citizenship as.
well as of professional skill, and Abraham Lincoln was among the foremost
of great Ameri.can lawyers who have
scorned private gain and have used
their legal knowledge and training to
help mold our democracy and to make
secure the foundations of our civilization.
In a large sense Abraham Lincoln
was the Robert Burns of America.
Burns, in his "a man's a man for a'
that," gave us a Marseillaise of democracy, and his universal gospel created world comradeship; but his life
gave us nothing to model after. Lincoln gave that same sense of comradeship to this great cosmopolitan nation;
and on account of his legal experience
and training, and on account of his.
moral character, he was able to do,
still more-to make "the man" and
not "the birkie" or "the cuif" the
great American ideal, and to make
that ideal potent to save our nation
and to preserve our democracy.
Nineteen centuries ago, in an age
of the Roman superman, when hope
and opportunity were only for the
Roman few and beneath that profligate and luxuriating aristocracy was:
a horrible substratum of human mis-•
ery and of human slavery, a carpenter of Nazareth taught the gospel of
the divine inheritance of all men,
called the little children of all classes.
to him and, looking over the great
brotherhood of nations, prayed the
universal prayer, the prayer of the
Jew and of the Gentile, of the Mohammedan in his minaret, of the In-
�NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN
dian on the mountain top and of the
Christian in his temple-the prayer
of Our Father. In the middle of the
eighteenth century a Scottish plowman caught the strain and, in the
simple language of the peasant, wrote
that "a man's a man for a' that." At
the beginning of the French Revolution a great Frenchman saw the same
vision, and in a meeting of the Three
Estates made the magnificent statement that "there was something diviner than the divine right of kings,
and that was the divine right of man
himself." And, in the middle of the
nineteenth century, at a time when
we had lost the democracy of the
American Revolution and had forgotten the preamble to the American
Constitution, at a time when the love
of gain was everywhere and was
everything, in an age of the superman and of the patrician, in an age
when the blot of slavery had not only
demoralized the black man but had
created a lower dass of so-called
white trash which the patrician despised, Abraham Lincoln gave utterance to the same Marseillaise of democracy, the Marseillaise of Christ,
the Marseillaise of Burns, the Marseillaise of Lafayette. Again, in the
simple language of the simple folk,
he said that "God must have loved
the common people; he made so many
of them."
Yet Abraham Lincoln was not a
demagogue; neither was he a pacifist;
nor a socialist; nor an anarchist. He
believed in the rights of man; but he
realized that those rights could only
be obtained and could only be prepreserved under an orderly and a constitutional government. He loved the
19
common people; but he never surrendered 1:0 the mob. He was what
might be termed a conservative progressive, whose eyes looked ever for•
ward and upward but who realize-cl
that freedom had slowly broai:lened
down from precedent to precedent,
that law and order was the rule of
the universe and that even t'he stars
of the firmament marched .in time.
He believed in progress; but he believed in an orderly progress under
the law.
We need this portrait of Lincoln
in our law school. We need his portraits and his statues everywhere. We
need them as a reminder of the realities and of the truth. We need them
as an antidote to the jazz materialism
of today. We need them because
Abraham Lincoln personified and revealed the real America and the real
American.
We are living in an age of exaggerated acceleration, in an age of vulgar and sordid social display, in an
age of flaunting extravagance and in
the midst of a debasing philosophy of
pleasure and of self-gratification. We
need a new emphasis on the real and
on the spiritual, and Abraham Lincoln gives us that emphasis. He expresses the soul and not the rouge or
the face powder of our democracy.
The index of a nation is the men
that it really honors and really loves,
the men whose live, and memories
really stir its emotions, excite its reverence and make its blood run warm
within it. And, in spite of our wine
baths and of our Bradley Martin
balls, in spite of our seeming idolatry
of wealth and of power, no matter
�20
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN
how obtained, in spite of our cowardly acquiescence in the crime and
in the corruption that is among us,
I thank God that the ideal of America is still the ideal of Abraham Lincoln- the ideal of self-respect and of
self-sacrifice. We may envy and out
of idle curiosity rush out to see men
and women whose only claim to recognition is the flaunting of newly acquired wealth for social and political
and business purposes ; and in order
that we ourselves may gain we may
tolerate and even take part in the
corruption that is around us- we may
patronize our own boot-leggers. But
the men and women whom we really
love and of whom we want to tell
our children are the men and women
who have sacrificed pleasure and selfgratification for duty, who for our
sakes have gone through the waters
of tribulation, who, for our sakes,
have known their Gethsemanes, who
have sacrificed the whole world bu.t
have saved their own souls and by
their example have taught us how to
save our souls.
It is well indeed that in this great
metropolitan law school we should
have the portrait of a cotter's child
crowned with the royalty of the gift
divine. It is well that in this busy
mart of trade we should have the
portrait of this simple but kingly man.
A figure awkward and ungainly, the
hands and feet large and misshapen,
the face rough and lined with care,
the clothes almost slovenly worn, but
a figure and a face, because of idealism and because of suffering, of self-
sacrifice and of self-respecting character, more majestic than any other
the city affords, than all of the statues
of Westminster Abbey, .time honored
though they may be. The picture of
one who reached the highest rounds
in the ladder of influence and of
power, yet who was a man of sorrows
and acquainted with grief. The picture of a great political leader who
knew the loneliness of true character and of true leadership. The picture of a great statesman who was
constantly vilified and abused and
as constantly misunderstood; who,
through most of his career incurred
the hostility both of the ultra-conservative and of the radical, of the
stand patter and of the progressive;
but who had the lawyer's courage to
steer our great ship of state in a sane
and legal course, who held our nation
together, who was true to himself and
who gained immortality.
We are to have the portrait of a
lawyer who walked with kings, yet
kept the common touch ; of a lawyer
who was too great to be a snob and
too big to be spoiled by power; of a
lawyer who was not too proud to
fight but who knew no bitterness; of
a lawyer who saw the good that was
in all men, even in his enemies. This
man Lincoln was the real type of
the real American, and the hope of
America lies in the fact that it is
this kind of man that in our heart of
hearts we most reverence and admire.
This gift is worthy of our alumni.
It is an index of their character and
of their faith.

�FOUNDING, PURPOSE AND LOCATION OF THE LAW SCHOOL
7
Founding, Purpose and Location of the Law School ·
T
HE LAW SCHOOL was founded in 1859 with a sum of
money given by Thomas Hoyne, when there were only three
similar schools west of the Allegheny Mountains. The
first dean was Henry Booth, 1859-1891. For many years the School
was under the joint control of the old University of Chicago and
of Northwestern University, and was known as the Union College
of Law. In 1891, the other University having long ceased to share
in the management and being about to surrender its charter, Northwestern University assumed sole control, and the School has since
been an integral part of the University, and has borne its name.
The course of study is arranged to give a knowledge of the law
that will be indispensable to students wherever they may practice.
Graduates of the School are now located in nearly every state and
territory, as well as in foreign countries. Special courses are offered
for acquiring a knowledge of the law of Illinois.
The Case-study system, or the study of the principles of law as
illustrated in judicial opinions, is followed in most courses of instruction; but each instructor follows his own judgment, in conducting the
classes by lectures, discussions, recitations, written exercises, or in any
way he deems best adapted to the subject. The extensive library of
the School, the Elbert H. Gary Library of Law, lends itself peculiarly
to modern and scientific methods of instruction,
The School is now located in Northwestern University Building at
the corner of Lake and Dearborn Streets, Chicago, which was
acquired and rebuilt in 1901-1902.
In 1926, construction commenced of the new home of the Law
School, Levy Mayer Hall, the gift of Mrs. Levy Mayer, in memory
of her husband, eminent at the Chicago Bar, and of the Elbert H.
Gary Law Library Building, the gift of Elbert H. Gary, LL.B., 1867,
LL.D., 1922. These buildings are in the new Alexander McKinlock,
Junior, Memorial Campus, for the professional schools, at Lake
Shore brive and Chicago Avenue. Occupation is expected in
October, 1926.

UNIVERSITY
LAW
SCHOOL
A student presenting three years of college credit from
another approved college of arts or science may, upon the satisfactory
completion of the first year's work · in the Law School, receive from
this Faculty a certificate requesting the Faculty of his original college
to recognize his work in this Law School as the equivalent of a fourth
year in college and to recommend him for the degree of Bachelor of
Arts or Science in that college or university.
( c) A student presenting three years of college credit from
another approved college of arts or science may, upon the satisfactory completion of the first year's work in the Law School, upon the
recommendation of the Law School Faculty, receive from this University the degree of Bachelor of Science in Law.
(2) The Master's degree in Arts will be conferred under the
following conditions:
_
A graduate of the College of Liberal Arts of this University, or
other college maintaining equivalent requirements for the Bachelor's
degree in Arts or Science, may obtain the Master's degree at the same
time with the degree of Juris Doctor by pursuing, with the sanction
of the Board of Graduate Studies, advanced work in subjects approved
by that Faculty, and obtaining credit to the amount of twelve semester-hours; and by presenting a thesis on an approved topic. The
courses of study must deal entirely with legal subjects; but courses of
legal study, in order to count for the degree, must be of an advanced
nature, must not otherwise be counted for the degree in law, and
must be pursued under the direction of a committee of three of the
Faculty of the Law School. If the candidate is obtaining his Juris
Doctor's degree after only three years of College of Liberal Arts
work, the additional credits required for obtaining the Master's
degree must amount to thirty semester-hours.

degree, will register for the same degree in both the College of Liberal
Arts and the Law School on or before the first Monday in October

GENERAL STATEMENT
In preparing the curriculum and requirements for the four-year
course of studies leading to the degree 'of J.D., the Faculty of Law
has kept in view the following principal objects:
(I) To ~nsure for every graduate a thorough training in the
use of original sources, and a rigid mental discipline, with a view to
the formation of those habits of independent legal thinking which
ought to be the fundamental possession of every member of the legal
profession ;
(2) To ensure for every graduate a general intelligent acquaint·
ance with the elemental principles in the entire orthodox compass of
the technical subjects of law, and thus to qualify him to do mature
work in the later stages of his study and to equip him to approach
any legal problem without serious gaps in large fields of essential
legal information ;
( 3) To ensure for every graduate some understanding of those
liberal legal subjects which develop breadth of view and qualify him
to render public service as a leader of professional and civic thought;
(4) To attain these results, in point of method, by using the
most approved practices, and in particular by assuring to every student, on the part of the Faculty, from time to time, an individual
valuation of the quality of his work, and a personal attention to his
individual needs and capacities for attaining the expected standards.
The special features of the curriculum and requirements described
be!ow are based directly on one or another of those objectives.

EXERCISES IN FORENSIC WRITING, SPEAKING
AND PRACTICE
As a part of the systematic instruction represented in the foregoing curriculum, an effort is made to provide adequate training in
the practical use of legal knowledge and in certain important forms
of legal writing and speaking which help materially to equip the
accomplished lawyer. Some of the various branches of work
directed to this end are as follows:
Pleadings and Other Instruments-The work of the Practice
Court necessarily involves the drafting of the requisite pleadings. In
other courses, particularly in Commercial Paper, Carriers, Insurance,
Transactional Instruments, Legal Bibliography, attention is paid to
the forms of instruments in common use.
Conveyancing-In the course on Conveyancing the chief material
consists of a series of selected abstracts of title representing a great
variety of documents and proceedings involving property rights. A
copy of each abstract is purchased by each member of the class, and a
detailed study of matters of form and substance is made from the
conveyancer's point of view, and with regard to the laws of different States. Thorough work in this course ought to equip the
student as a practical conveyancer at the time of his entering upon
his profession. No one may take this course who has not taken the
courses Property I and II.
Trial Practice-The courses on Procedure and Practice give a
systematic and detailed survey of the rules of law. The course on
Evidence includes an auxiliary drill in the use of the rules. Tlie
Practice Court gives the third year student opportunity to become
practically familiar with these rules by the application of them in
�27
FOUNDATIONS
litigation managed by himself. The sessions of the Court are held
weekly, on Thursday evenings, for two hours. A faithful attention
to this course ought to give the graduate experience in the use of
legal knowledge that will materially assist him in starting in his profession. The systematic pursuit of such a course under an experienced
instructor affords the student results more thorough, accurate, and
extensive than can be obtained in the desultory service of a law office
during a long period. A copy of the printed Rules of the Practice
Court will be mailed upon request.
·
Editorial Work-To edit and digest for the profession the opinion
and record of a decided case is of great value in cultivating the skill
required in preparing briefs and analyzing precedents. Each year
not more thari seven second and third-year students of known ability

�FOUNDING, PURPOSE AND LOCATION OF THE LAW SCHOOL
7
Founding, Purpose and Location of the Law School
T
HE LAW SCHOOL was founded in 1859 with a sum of
money given by Thomas Hoyne, when there were only three
similar ~hools west of the Allegheny Mountains. The
first dean was Henry Booth, 1859-1891. For many years the School
was under the joint control of the old University of Chicago and
of Northwestern University, and was known as the Union College
of Law. In 1891, the other University having long ceased to share
in the management and being about to surrender its charter, Northwestern University assumed sole control, and the School has since
been an integral part of the University, and has borne its name.
The course of study is arranged to give a knowledge of the law
that will be indispensable to students wherever they may practice.
Graduates of the School are now located in nearly every state and
territory, as well as in foreign countries. Special courses are offered
for acquiring a knowledge of the law of Illinois.
The Case-study system, or the study of the principles of law as
illustrated in judicial opinions, is followed in most courses of instruction; but each instructor follows his own judgment, in conducting the
classes by lectures, discussions, recitations, written exercises, or in any
way he deems best adapted to the subject. The extensive library of
the School, the Elbert H. Gary Library of Law, lends itself peculiarly
to modern and scientific methods of instruction.
The School is now located in Northwestern University Building at
the corner of Lake and Dearborn Streets, Chicago, which was
acquired and rebuilt in 1901-1902, at a cost of nearly one million
dollars. It is situated near the center of the business district of
Chicago and is of easy access from all residence portions of the city.
The City, State, and Federal Courts are within a few blocks.
In 1925, construction begins of the new home of the Law School,
Levy Mayer Hall, the gift of Mrs. Levy Mayer, in memory of her
husband, eminent at the Chicago Bar. It is expected at the same time
to begin construction of the Elbert H. Gary Law Library Building,
adjacent to Levy Mayer Hall. These edifices will form two of the
group of buildings for the four Chicago professional schools of Law,
Commerce, Medicine, and Dentistry, located on the Alexander
McKinlock, Jr., Memorial Campus, at Lake Shore Drive and Chicago
Avenue, within half a mile of the Chicago River.

Library Facilities
THB ELBERT H. GARY LIBRARY OF LAW
The library of some 6o,ooo volumes represents chiefly the gifts
of the Honorable Elbert H. Gary, LL.B., 1867, LL.D., 1922, of
New York City, and is unusual in its scope. It contains duplicate
sets of the United States Reports, the official Reports of all the States
and Territories, the complete National Reporter System, partly in
duplicate, the Lawyers' Reports Annotated, all of the official Illinois
Reports in triplicate, statutes of all the States in the Union, and a
large collection of digests, periodicals, encyclopedias, and textbooks.
Of the British legal sources, it possesses the complete Statutes, and
substantially all the regular Reports of England, Ireland, and Canada
since the beginning of the Year Books, except those appearing in law
journals.
Besides the library of Modern Anglo-American law, there are
the following special collections:
Modern Continental Law, numbering some 13,000 volumes on
the law of the twenty-three European countries, as contained in
statutes, decisions, journals, and treatises, is equalled by only two or
three other collections in the United States.
International Law, numbering nearly 3,500 volumes, includes a
large quantity of printed material relating to American, British, and
Continental diplomacy, not elsewhere available in the West .
..1 ncient, Oriental, Primitive, and Jl,1 edieval Law includes the
Hindu, Mohammedan, Hebrew, Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Chinese, Japanese, and sundry other systems, as well as the medieval
European materials. It numbers 3,000 volumes, and offers unique
facilities for research to students of comparative legal history.
Roman and Civil Law, numbering 2,500 volumes, including the
library of the late Moritz Voigt of Leipzig, Germany, contains many
rare volumes not found in any other American Library.
Ecclesiastical Law, numbering 200 volumes, contains a selection
of the most useful texts, commentaries, and journals.
Jurisprudence and Philosophy of Law, numbering 1,000 volumes,
includes all the important American, English, German, French,
Italian, and Latin texts on this subject.
Criminal Law and Criminology, numbering over 3,000 volumes,
provides the most ample materials, from all countries, for research
in this growing subject.
Anglo-American Legal History includes material relating to
English Historical Legal Literature, sets of Colonial session laws
�REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION
9
(mostly reprints), rev1s10ns, contemporary and modem treatises on
the laws of the colonies, and other material related to the history of
the development of the common law in England and the United
States. This collection now numbers about 3,500 volumes and contains many rare and valuable historical treatises.
Latin-American Law includes collections of the laws of Mexico,
the Central American, and the South American States, following the
arrangement in the Gary Collections of Modern Continental Law;
that is, a collection of the codes, ordinances, decisions of the Supreme
Court, most important treatises, and leading law journals. The
volumes installed approximate 3,200, and the number is being increased as rapidly as the material can be acquired.
Legal Bibliography, numbering some 600 volumes and pamphlets,
covering all topics and countries.
The extensive library of the Chicago Law Institute, two blocks
distant, exchanges the privileges of consultation for all books not in
the Elbert H. Gary Library.

or science, in one of the following ways:

in the College of Liberal Arts of this University may elect work in
Law which shall count toward his degrees in both the College of
Liberal Arts and the Law School, so ·as to receive the degree of
Bachelor of Arts or Science at the end of his fourth year in this
University. The work elected cannot exceed one year's work in the
Law School, and each election is subject to the approval of both
Faculties.
(b) A student presenting three years of college credit from
another approved college of arts or science may, upon the satisfactory
completion of the first year's work in the Law School, receive from
this Faculty a certificate requesting the F acuity of his original college
to recognize his work in this Law School as the equivalent of a fourth
year in college and to recommend him for the degree of Bachelor of
Arts or Science in that college or university.
( c) A student presenting three years of college credit from
another approved college of arts or science may, upon the satisfactory completion of the first year's work in the Law School, upon the

must be pursued under the direction of a committee of three of the
�12

degree, will register for the same degree in both the College of Liberal
Arts and the Law School on or before the first Monday in October

GENERAL STATEMENT
In preparing the curriculum and requirements for the four-year
course of studies leading to the degree of J.D., the Faculty of Law
has kept in view the following principal objects:
(I) To ensure for every graduate a thorough training in the
use of original sources, and a rigid mental discipline, with a view to
the formation of those habits of independent legal thinking which
ought to be the fundamental possession of every member of the legal
profession ;
(2) To ensure for every graduate a general intelligent acquaintance with the elemental principles in the entire orthodox compass of
the technical subjects of law, and thus to qualify him to do mature
work in the later stages of his study and to equip him to approach
any legal problem without serious gaps in large fields of essential
legal information;
•The symbols here used for the courses refer to the list announced for
the College of Liberal Arts of this University; the University Catalogue will
show the correspondence with courses in other Colleges.
�COURSES OF INSTRUCTION
15
(3) To ensure for every graduate some understan<ling of those
liberal legal subjects which develop breadth of view and qualify him
to render public service as a leader of professional and civic thought;
(4) To attain these results, in point of method, by using the
most approved practices, and in particular by assuring to every student, on the part of the Faculty, from time to time, an individual
valuation of the quality of his work, and a personal attention to his
individual needs and capacities for attaining the expected standards.
The special features of the curriculum and requirements described
below are based directly on one or another of those objectives.

5. EXERCISES IN FORENSIC WRITING, SPEAKING
AND PRACTICE
As a part of the systematic instruction represented in the foregoing curriculum, an effort is made to provide adequate training in
the practical use of legal knowledge and in certain important forms
of legal writing and speaking which help materially to equip the
accomplished lawyer. Some of the various branches of work
directed to this end are as follows:
Pleadings and Other Instruments-The work of the Practice
Court necessarily involves the drafting of the requisite pleadings. In
other courses, particularly in Commercial Paper, Carriers, Insurance,
Transactional Documents, Legal Bibliography, attention is paid to
the forms of instruments in common use.
Conveyancing-In the course on Conveyancing the chief material
consists of a series of selected abstracts of title representing a great
variety of documents and proceedings involving property rights. A
copy of each abstract is purchased by each member of the class, and a
detailed study of matters of form and substance is made from the
conveyancer's point of view, and with regard to the laws of different States. Thorough work in this course ought to equip the
student as a practical conveyancer at the time of his entering upon
his profession. No one may take this course who has not taken the
courses Property I and II.
Trial Practice-The courses on Procedure and Practice give a
systematic and detailed survey of the rules of law. The course on
Evidence includes an auxiliary drill in the use of the rules. The
Practice Court gives the third year student opportunity to become
practically familiar with these rules by the application of them in
litigation managed by himself. The sessions of the Court are held
weekly, on Thursday evenings, for two hours. A faithful attention

instructor affords the student results more thorough, accurate, and
extensive than can be obtained in the desultory service of a law office
during a long period. A copy of the printed Rules of the Practice
Court will be mailed upon request.

appointed m the aggregate received thus far.
It is a worthy plan.
In the first place, this is the city where the greatest law school in
the world ought to be located.
I do not think I ever showed my
wisdom more clearly and completely than I did when, some forty
years ago, I looked over all the cities of the world and decided that
Chicago was the place for a man to get a law education.

And I have no doubt that with
the efforts of the members you have here, with the favorable location ,
and more than all else with the inextinguishable zeal of a dean who
when he sets his heart on a thing shows what enthusiasm can do to
realize it, we shall attain our goal.
I have no doubt that it will
succeed, even without my planning.
But I want to hasten the con-
summation and therefore want to give you the plan.
It is to have
Dean Wigmore announce himself as a candidate for the presidency
of the United States!
[Applause.]
Just as soon as he does that,
throughout the United States "angels" will offer to finance his
campaign; and after they have brought forward funds to the extent
necessary and our candidate has received them, he will decide to use
the funds to build and endow the Law School!
[Laughter.]
My friends, I am in earnest about this Law School. Jes ting aside,
I have a suggestion to offer.
When this Law School is established
in its new home, I want us to add to what has been taught and have
a Chair of Citizenship.
Did you notice on this little publication here
[referring to the program of the evening] the picture of the first
law school in the United States, at Litchfield, Connecticut, and did
you notice what became of those that attended there?
Let me read:
"The first law school in the United States, as it looks now, at
Litchfield, Conn.
Founded by Judge Tapping Reeve in

U nited States Senators; 50 Members of Congress; 40 Jud ges of
higher State Courts; 8 Chief Justices of State Courts;
the United States Supreme Court;
IO
2
Justices of
Governors of States; 5 Mem-
bers of the Cabinet."
Now just take th e number of men who are honored by prominent
positions in public life, and compare the number of those selected for
these high places with the total number of students enrolled , and
then you w ill understand the important part that the Bar plays in
the public life of this nation.
There is no oth er profession from
which people are drawn in such large numbers into public life. And
it is perfectly natural that this should be so; for the lawyer becomes
the spokesman of his group, and no great question is settled in this
country except as the spokesmen of the groups thresh the question
out.
So, if, the law is th e training school for those who enter public
life, surely nowhere else do we need the teaching of citizenship as
we need it in a law school.
If this is to be the greatest law school in
the world, it must deal with this subj ect, so important to American
citizens. Therefore I want to offer th e ; uggestion to Dean Wigmore,
that he consider the addi tio n of thi s chair.
I will promise yo u this,
that if you will add this chair, I will try to give some time to go ing
around and helping yo u en dow the Chair of Citizenship in this big
city.
My friends, the science of government is a noble science, a science that deserves th e attention of the American people and es_necially
of those who are to practice law; and I would like to see this great
Law School-when the ideal is realized, when we see it materially
embod ied in the buildings that are to be provided and in the School
that they have in mind-prepare the yo ung men who go through the
School for this important duty.
I am anxious th at these yo ung men
should have impressed upon them the right kind of ideals, so that
when they go ou t they can put broader shoulders under heavie r loads;
�6
NORTHWESTERN
U
TJVERSITY
and so that whenever they reason through intellectual preparation to
a higher eminence, they will use their broader view and fart her vision
to see approaching dangers and to warn and protect their country
from these dangers.
It seems to me that we need to impress a con-
ception of life on their minds that is entirely different from the
merely pecuniary idea of life.
When we have a great law school
that is connected with an institution of learning that has back of it a
spiritual vision, it seems to me that there is the best possible chance
to have a conception of duty and a moral development entwined with
the training of the mind.
I am here as a reporter of this Republican Convention, and I
find it hard for me to get people to und erstand my disinterestedness.
I am almost afraid to tell these Republicans what to do [Laughter],
for fear they will mistrust my own good intentions in the matter;
but I am anxious to see this Convention write the best platform the
Republican Convention ever wrote, and to nominate the best candidate the Republican party ever nominated.
If they will do that, I
will go out to San Francisco, and I will use what has been done here
to spur my people on and tell them they have got to do well to keep
up with what the Republicans did .
I would rather have a splendid
example, in order that I may cite it as an inspiration , than to have
to point and tell our people that they will have to do better than
they did at C hicago.
[Applause.]
There are several things I am anxious for them to do here.
In the first place, I want them, now that John Barleycorn 1s
dead, not to be afraid of him any more [Applause].
I hope they will
think better of this proposition now that the Supreme Court has
knocked down every objection that has thus far been made to the
amendment of the law.

that the Republican party endorses the prohibition proposition and
the law, and that this question shall never be reopened in this coun-

I tell
them now, if they put this prohibition planK in their platform, I will
try to get it at San Francisco anyhow, and if they don't we will, and
then we will drive our bad people into the Republican party, which
has enough in there now.

to devise a way whereby a man can be nominated without spending
any money and by letting the people pick out the man.
When a man has given his life to public affairs, the chances are
that that man will not have any large amount of money when he
finishes his public career; therefore, it seems that the more experience
he has the more completely is he barred from these higher offices, if
nothing but an enormous campaign fund can get the facts before the

without enormous funds. If they will give us a good plank I will

I have talked too long
now; but I know th at these things are important.
My friends, it used to distress me when we used to talk of silver
[Laughter].
I used to have good friends, well meaning friends,
and it used to distress them, too, and they were actually afraid to
si ng one of the swee test songs I know of for old men to si ng.
I
think about the sweetest song ever yet composed is "S ilver Threads
Among the Gold," and I have a lot of friends w ho are afraid to
sing or even listen to it for fear it might smack of repudiation
[Laughter].
But now that silver is worth more th an gold , they
can sing it just like we could in those early days.
I read the other

today. The world has got to come to silver and put it b_v
the side of gold to support the paper money of th e world.
All of
these things are coming around, and I am very happy [Laughter J.
You will just complete my happiness if yo u will add tnis Chair
of Citizenship to this great U niversity, so that when these yo ung
men go out from here they will go out instructed in the science of

our government safe by building up sound morals as well as political

In a measure, w henever I see a lawye r I feel like taking

making has become a great reality, there will be no one to whom
. greater credit can be given than to the Dean.
I know I do not need to plead for yo ur loyalty to this enterprise.
You have been showin g your loyalty already.
I know I am not
requesting something, but merely expressing something, when I say
that to the last end yo u are going to be with the D ean in his resolution to make thi s dream a great reality-a reality of which every
alumnus of the old U nion College of Law .a nd the now Northwestern U ni versity L aw School may and will be proud.
But there are one or two things of importance that I want to
say which do not have to do with the Law School.
I would like to remind you, gentlemen, that
111
this difficult
period we are having no grou p of men stand nearer to American life
than the men w ho are engaged in the practice of law.
American
life, in the near future, in the place of transitory, changing, and
dissolving ideals, upon w hi ch no permanent governmental program
can be built, must have solid and dependable principles.
For this
must we look to no group of men as to the men of the law.
If
America is to learn to think constitutionally, the lawye rs must teach
America to do it.
If I were to try to exp ress in one phrase the
supreme need of the U nited States of America today, I would say
this thing:
To think constitutionally.
For the enormous proportion of American people today are thinking merely in the terms of th eir own desires.
I wo nd er sometimes
if we are thinking as much as we ought to about principles; or are we
too busy thinking about other things?
I wo nd er sometimes if we do
realize that the American Republic has its basis on principles of
individuality and solid arity-the principle of solid arity r epresented
by Alexander Hamilton, and the principle of indi vidual ity represented by Thomas J efferson .
I wonder if we realize the necessity
for that type of thinking which was inaugurated by Hamilton, as
�12
NORTHWESTERN
UNIVERSITY
far as our national life is concerned, which was continued with such
brilliancy by Daniel Webster and under such memorable circumstances by Abraham Lincoln , the necessity of carrying into the minds
of men that they must think constitutionally?
Now, is there any particular significance in the attitude today?
I venture to say it never was more significant than today.
We have certain States in America today where the agricultural
group is more self-conscious than ever before.
farmer has rights.
Now undoubtedly the
Undoubtedly very often those rights have been
ignored.
Undoubtedly the Republic must be mad e safe for the
farmer.
But whenever you have a type or group so self-conscious
it would dominate the whole national life in the terms of its needs,
then you have the exact opposite of the national view.
And we have a labor group in America today which is becoming
increasingly self-conscious.
Undoubtedly labor's right to fair and
ample wages has often been ignored; and undoubtedly America must
be made safe for labor.
But whenever the self-consciousness of the
labor group becomes such that the whole political fabric is threatened
by its desires, then you have a destruction of the national viewpoint.
And we have an employing group.
group has rights.
Undoubtedly the employing
Sometimes these rights have been ignored.
Un-
doubtedly the world and America must be made safe for finance.
But whenever the employing group becomes so insistent and selfconscious that it threatens the whole fabric, then we have a recurrence of the situation in the 6o's.
So today we must have men who are willing to take a national
view as against the men of the exclusively agricultural, labor, or
capitalistic view.
And in reality, the significance of this post-war period is that we
must take our stand, either as members of a group or as members of
the Nation.
The Republican party-this is not a political meeting,
�LYN
HAROLD
HOUGH
13
but inspired by the fervid eloquence of Mr. Bryan, perhaps I may
say-the Republican party has the supreme opportunity of its life
to take a national viewpoint.
This year's decisions in national issues
will mark the parting of the ways.
From this year
1920
the problem
in America will more than ever before be a struggle between the
men who take a national view and those who take a group view.
And I congratulate you on being graduates of this Law School;
because, Mr. Toastmaster, if I know anything about what happens
to a man as a result of the pursuit of the study of law, it is that he
learns how to determine the total result of incidental facts, and
therefore how to handle this dominant problem which is facing the
American people today-how to take a really national view.
In any event, history speaks to a young man when he looks out
on a group of professional men belonging to your tradition-a tradition which brings down to us the scholarly young Alexander Hamilton dreaming of the birth of a republic-the eloquence of a Daniel
Webster-the homely, democratic spirit of that Illinois statesman who
built himself into the fabric of the nation's life so completely, and
whose simple, direct wisdom has gone to the mind and heart of man.
But I see something more, too.
Looking at a group like this,
one is not contented with the past, but dreams of that day when from
our Law School the new Hamiltons, new Websters, new Lincolns,
shall emerge, and when those men who move along the line of lofty
principle rather than temporary expediency shall be given to the land
as the fine gift of noble legal scholarship.
I believe this school has
the kind of stuff to accomplish that thing.
I congratulate you and your Faculty, and I count myself fortunate to have some relation to you as president of this university

of Denver, formerly Attorney-G eneral of Colorado
I must confess, after listening to the addresses which have been
made, which were very inspiring and very interesting, that I have
some doubt as to whether this is a banquet or a political meeting
[Laughter].
I can not, of course, speak for Governor Lowden of
Illinois, but before this week is over I shall adm it it a great pleasure
and honor to cast a vote from Colorado for Governor Lowden, of
the class of '87 [Applause].
We lawyers all have our ideals when
we are young in school and starti ng out in the practice.
I am quite
frank to adm it to you that for a number of years, while I lived in
Chicago, Frank Lowden was one of my ideals.
Mr. Bryan has told you in his address that he is perfectly happy
with the way things are going.
Now I have always been a great
admirer of Mr. Bryan as a publicist and a man, but I cannot say
that he has ever convinced me, this evening or any other time, on
some of the most important subjects that occupy his mind .
When the silver issue was raised a number of years ago, in 1896,
we thought it would be a good thing-at least the Democrats thought
it would be-to try Mr. Bryan once more; and so for the third time
they honored him with the nomination for the presidency of the
United States.
Out in Colorado they take more silver out of the
mines than any other State in this Union; and in 1896 (when I was
a young struggling lawyer here in Chicago) the State of Colorado
went for Mr. Bryan.
But never since then have they gone, or even
thought of going, for sixteen to one [Laughter].
I happen to be Chairman of the Committee of the State of
Colorado to aid Dean Wigmore to try to raise this fund for the
program which has been outlined.
It was an honor for me to take
over this matter, although I must confess that when I first heard of
the amount required from the State of Colorado, and discovered we

have to increase our fees to our clients-one of the two.
But we are interested.
You know that we out there regard
Northwestern University as one of the great schools of this country.
The difficulty is this-that as we go away to the States where we
make our homes, our associations become more closely identified with
the universities there.
We have in Denver a university founded by
old John Evans, founder of Evanston, and one of the fathers of
Northwestern University, and we feel we must do a great deal for
our own local university.
But we haven't by any means forgotten Northwestern Univer··
sity; and I want to say this-that the name of Dean Wigmore stands
for more in the legal fraternity throughout the United States than
the name of the head of any other law school in the United States.
And I believe this, that a law school, a really big school, ought to
be located in a big city like Chicago.
And so I want to say, for the
Rocky Mountain Division of Northwestern University, that you can
count on us doing our share [Applause].

I was deeply interested in Col. Bryan's speech.
In the palmy
days of the long ago, when he was a candidate for office, he once
spoke in public in my section of the country, and a little incident
occurred which may interest you to recall.
Not all of our ·people

I spent eight years of my life in yo ur delightful rushing city, but

I agreed , when I told you I would come up here , to make a few
remarks on the so-called " Industrial Court Law of Kansas.">.'
It was Governor Allen who delivered his message to the legislature which resulted finally in the enactment of the law. And, by
the way, we in Kansas have it in mind that if this Republican Convention cannot find a suitable candidate elsewhere, Kansas has two
names which we would like to suggest-Governor Allen and Senator
Capper [Applause] , either of whom would make a splendid president of our nation.
The question that Mr. Gompers did not answer, and the question
that civilization must solve is this:
"When a dispute between capital and labor brings on a strike
affecting th e production or distribution of th e necessities of life,
threatening th e public welfar e and impairing th e public health, has
th e public any rights in such controversies, or is it a private war
betw een capital and labor?"
We must acknowledge that civilization is a failure if it fails to
solve that problem.

spite of this great war and the lessons we should have learned, in
spite of the lives wasted because of our utter lack of preparation, in
spite of the huge sums wasted on account of our lack of preparation,
we have gone back again to just where we were fifty years ago. We
are back again to laxity in our national defense, with other nations
ready to spring to arms on any trifle.
We have too much confidence in the theory that we have thousands of trained men ready to go into service on a minute's notice.
I think it is not too much to say that the battles of Lexington and
Bunker Hill, or rather the false presentation of these events that our
school histories hold, were the most unfortunate events that ever
occurred in this country.
The legend of the Minute Man rising in
his wrath and taking down his family musket from over the mantel
shelf and driving out King George's tyrants has wreaked incalculable harm. The myth of Minute Men depreciates the value of long
years of training and preparation in meeting any world power.
We
think because an American is an American he has inherited the
power to fight for his country. So, when the war is over, we go right
back to the legend of Minute Men, which lives right on.
We have indeed been successful in the wars we have waged, but
it was not because of the hard-headed military science of the people.
The real statistics are surprising.
You think of George Wash-
ington with a small force of intrepid patriots winning over the vastly
superior numbers of the British.
As a matter of fact, in the Revolu-

At the end of the Civil
War the North outnumbered the South two to one.
The same thing is true of this last war.
In the St. Mihiel
operation, for instance, we had probably 450,000 men, while the
Germans opposite us had probably I 50,000-a great many of them too
old for hard fighting; and when we did strike them, they were already
withdrawing, as a matter of fact, because they knew they did not

Mistakes of all kinds were made, from general to private.
The astonishing thing is that they did not make more mistakes.
Officers are criticized in Congress.
Nobody is truly responsible for

these officers and soldiers a chance to be trained.
Soldiers must know how to shoot.
That is axiomatic.

Moreover, the fighting man ( who is of course the prime necessity) must have arms and equipment.
Up to the very date of the
Armistice we had no American equipment.
We had an American
type of rifle, it is true, but at the time of the opening of the war
there Was no ammunition or machinery to make ammunition for the
rifles, and they had to be rebored to take ammunition being manufactured for British rifles.
We had no tanks.
The famous Brown-
ing machine gun, like so many other things, arrived after the fighting
was over.
At the date of the Armistice there was not a single
American made cannon on the front, except four Navy guns mounted
on railroad cars.
We had no aeroplanes, and when they did finally
begin to arrive they were unsatisfactory.
The first American built
aeroplane flew across the German lines in the summer of 1918, more
than a year after our war began, and six months after the American
infantry went into the trenches.
It was heartrending.
The Ger-
mans had everything their own way and flew so low that our men
brought them down with rifles.
Our division fought on every front
in France where the American armies fought, and we never saw a
single day that the Germans did not have control of the air over us.
The fact that we with our allies were successful is no justification for our criminal neglect of the future.
We ought to be glad
that we had the French and British trained troops to do the hard
fighting, or there might be a different story to tell.
we may not have allies with us.
The next time
There is going to be a next time,
and if we are as utterly unprepared as in 1917, perhaps our life as a
free nation is over.
Unless you are going to say that you really believe war has gone
as a practical possibility, then some form of compulsory militai·y
training for young men is th e only safety of this land.

a few volunteers like the National Guard or some of the others do
military service for all?

I
50 yea rs ago, four days af ter the
battle of Bunker Hill in Boston , a dispatch bearer brought the news
to General George W ashington, at camp near Philadelphia, that
the colonial forces at Bunker Hill had successfully resisted the
British regulars.
General Washington's first question to the bearer,
after he had read the brief dispatch, was this:
fight? "
He was told , Y es.
" Did the militia
"Then, " he said , " I know that the
liberties of my country are safe."
"Will the Alumni fight?"
That was th e question I asked my-
self last year when the Endowment and Building Fund was contemplated.
" Do th ey believe in the cause?
And will th ey stand
back of the School and give their support and service to achieve that
great objective?"
For if they would , I knew that our cause was safe.
I had faith th at they would.
And they have!
I want to say that
now, with grateful conviction .
I have this yea r met and renewed friendship with more alumni
than I had seen in ten years past.
It has been a re velation and a
consolation to find the widespread faith, self-respect, and pride in
th e status and achi evements of our School.
And let me say th at in the ·last analysis the status of the School
depends upon you.
"By their fruits ye shall know them, " is a great
truth, sometimes bitter, sometim es ag reeable to r ealize.
To me it
has been a most agreeable phase of this truth to find that the community gladly knows this School by its products ; for it sees them
among the lead ers of the Bar-the backbone of the profession.
For
a teacher to find that he has had some share in shaping the scores of
fine careers that can be seen on eve ry hand is a discovery th at makes
his daily work seem worth while.
�24
NORTHWESTERN
UNIVERSITY
In this quest for the Endowment and Building Fund, the great
incentive for me, and I hope for you, is that this whole cause is
something far greater than you or I, greater than this School or
this University, as great as the profession and the community.
You
and I, the School and the University, are mere tools-instruments ·
for the betterment of the profession and the welfare of the community.
You and I have the courage to ask for benefactions, be-
cause our objective represents, obviously to all, one vital need in the
welfare of the coming generation; and we are merely the ones that
can directly serve and supply that need.
Now that the rank and file of the Alumni have registered their
support, what remains is to find half a dozen large contributions,
from men who can well afford it, to complete the Fund. Somewhere,
now, today, the men exist who can and will do that.
You and I
must find them.
A colored preacher, at a revival in Arizona, was describing the
Last Day of Judgment.
"And on dat great day, de sheep will be
separated by our Lord from de goats.
And de sheep will go to his
right hand and de goats will go to his left hand.
Oh, breddern,
what shall we do at de last day when de sheep are separated from
de goats?
Which of us will be de goats?
goats, breddern?
Which-."
Which of us will be de
Just then, a cowboy coming in late,
stood up at the back of the hall, and called out, "Mister, I don't
know what yer little game is here tonight, but I'm a two-gun man,
and I always want to be accommodatin'.
If it will accommodate
you any, I'm perfectly willing to be one of them goats!"
So, what we must look for now is a few accommodating benefactors who are perfectly willing to be "one of them goats."
And
we will see that they are safely placed at the right hand of the
School's Judgment Seat, in grateful memory.

FOUNDING,
PURPOSE
AND
LOCATION
III
Founding, Purpose, and Location of the
Law School
T
HE LAW SCHOOL was founded in 1859 with a sum of
money given by Thomas Hoyne, when there were only three
similar schools west of the Allegheny Mountains. The
first dean was Henry Booth, 1859-1891. For many years the School
was under the joint control of the old University of Chicago and
of Northwestern University, and was known as the Union College
of Law. In 1891, the other University having long ceased to share
in the management and being about to surrender its charter, Northwestern University assumed sole control, and the School has since
been an integral part of the University, and has borne its name.
The course of study is arranged to give a knowledge of the law
that will be indispensable to students wherever they may practice.
Graduates of the School now practice in nearly forty States and
Territories. Special courses are offered for acquiring a knowledge
of the law of Illinois.
The Case-study system, or the study of the principles of law as
illustrated in judicial opinions, is followed; but each instructor employs it according to his own judgment, conducting the classes by
lectures, discussions, recitations, written exercises, or in any way he
deems best adapted to the subject. The extensive library of the
School, the Elbert H. Gary Library of Law, lends itself peculiarly
to this modern and scientific method of instruction.
The School is located in Northwestern University Building at
the corner of Lake and Dearborn Streets, Chicago, which was
acquired and rebuilt in 190 l -1902, at a cost of nearly one million
dollars. It is situated near the center of the business district of
Chicago and is of easy access from all residence portions of the city.
The City, State, and Federal Courts are within a few blocks. The
School occupies 24,000 square feet of space, divided into convenient
lecture-rooms, assembly-rooms, study-rooms, professor's offices, -courtroom, and library. The arrangement of the rooms, opening on an
inner court, ensures seclusion and quiet for study.

Library Facilities
The Elbert H. Gary Library of Law
The library of some 45,000 volumes represents chiefly the gifts
of the Honorable Elbert H. Gary, LL.B., 1867, of New York City,
and is unusual in its scope. It contains duplicate sets of the United
States Reports, the official Reports of all the States and Territories,
the complete National Reporter System, partly in duplicate, the
Lawyers' Reports Annotated, all of the official Illinois Reports in
triplicate, statutes of all the States in the Union, and a large collection of digests, periodicals, encyclopedias, and textbooks. Of the
British legal sources, it possesses the complete Statutes, and substantially all the regular Reports of England, Ireland, and Canada since
the beginning of the Year Books, except those appearing in law
journals.
Besides the library of Modern Anglo-American law, there are
the following special collections:
Modern Continental Law, numbering some 13 ,000 volumes on
the law of the twenty-three European countries, as contained in
statutes, decisions, journals, and treatises, is more comprehensive in
scope than any other collection in the United States.
International Law, numbering nearly 3,000 volumes, includes a
large quantity of printed material relating to American, British, and
Continental diplomacy, not elsewhere available in the West.
Ancient, Oriental, Primitive, and 11-1 edieval Law includes the
Hindu, Mohammedan, Hebrew , Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Chinese, Japanese, and sundry other systems, as well as the medieval
European materials. It numbers 3 ,000 volumes, and offers unique
facilities for research to students of comparative legal history.
Roman and Civil Law, numbering 2,500 volumes, including the
library of the late Moritz Voigt of Leipzig, Germany, contains many
rare volumes not found in any other American Library.
Ecclesiastical Law, numbering 200 volumes, contains a selection
of the most useful texts, commentaries, and journals.
Jurisprudence and Philosophy of Law, numbering 1,000 volumes,
includes all the important American, English, German, French,
Italian and Latin texts on this subject.
�8
THE ELBERT H. GARY LIBRARY OF LAW
Criminal Law and Criminology, numbering over 3,000 volumes,
provides the most ample materials, from all countries, for research
in this growing subject.
Anglo-American Legal History includes material relating to
English Historical Legal Literature, sets of Colonial session laWl!
(mostly reprints), revisions, contemporary and modem treatises on
the laws of the colonies, and other material related to the history of
the development of the common law in England and the United
States. This collection now numbers about 2,500 volumes and contains many rare and valuable historical treatises.
Latin-American Law includes collections of the laws of Mexico,
the Central American, and the South American States, following the
arrangement in the Gary Collections of Modern Continental Law;
that is, a collection of the codes, ordinances, decisions of the Supreme
Court, most important .treatises, and leading law journals. Thus far
the volumes installed number 3,000, and will be increased as rapidly
as the material can be acquired.
Legal Bibliography, numbering some 500 volumes and pamphlets,
covering all topics and countries, is one of the most extensive of the
kind in this country.
The extensive library of the Chicago Law Institute, two blocks
distant, exchanges the privileges of consultation for all books not in
the Elbert H. Gary Library.

COURSES
IN
ILLINOIS
LAW
B. Courses in Illinois Law
Some twenty short courses on Illinois Law are given every year
by a special corps of lecturers.
THE PURPOSES OF THE COURSES
The purposes of these courses are :
1. . To furnish instruction in the local law of the State, as
distinguished from the general law of Anglo-America.
2. To cultivate a scientific treatment of the State law as an
independent body of law.
3. To furnish the advanced student with an experience in the
critique of judicial precedents emanating from a single court.
The courses are intended for third or fourth year students; alumni,
and graduates who come from schools in other States to the Illinois
bar.
MODE OF CONDUCTING THE COURSES
The lecturers are ( with one exception) all alumni of the school,
having an experience of from three to fifteen years at the bar. In
most instances the lecturer's subject is one in which his special
experience at the bar has given him a particular interest.
The topics selected are usually four under each subject, one for
each hour; each subject receiving four hours; and the topics within
each subject are or may be. changed in part from year to year. In
three subjects ( Pleading, Constitutional Law, and Practice) the
lectures number eight, sixteen, and thirty-two respectively. Two
lectures a week are given in each course; usually two courses are
proceeding at the same time.
The work of the class is done, by studying beforehand a select
list of leading cases. A syllabus list of these cases is distributed
before the opening of each course. Each lecturer employs the mode
of exposition that seems to him best,-a formal lecture, discussion,
etc. An examination is held in each course; and work done is
credited proportionately towards a degree, like work done in other
courses of the curriculum.
During the year I 9 I 8-19 the topics were as follows; the figure
suffixed to the subject-title denotes the number of lectures:

C. Exercises in Forensic Writing, Speaking, and
Practice
As a part of the systematic instruction represented in the foregoing curriculum, an effort is made to· provide adequate training in
the practical use of legal knowledge and in certain important forms
of legal writing and speaking which help materially to equip the
accomplished lawyer. Some of the various branches of work
directed to this end are as follows:
Pleadings and Other Instruments-The courses on Common Law
Pleading, Code Pleading, and Equity Pleading, in addition to the
study of the legal sources, include exercises in the drafting of the
various kinds of pleadings. In Corporations, the class is formed during the second semester into two corporations, which organize, elect
officers, issue stock, enlarge capital, keep books, consolidate, and do
various other acts of corporate business calling for the drafting of
instruments and in other ways familiarizing the student with the
�PRACTICE
23
use of the legal knowledge acquired. In other cour~es, particularly
in Commercial Paper, Carriers, Insurance, attention is paid to the
forms of instruments in common use.
Conveyancing-In the course on Conveyancing the chief material
consists of a series of selected abstracts of title representing a great
variety of documents and proceedings involving property rights. A
copy of each abstract is purchased by each member of the class and a
detailed study of matrers of form and substance is made from the
conveyancer's point of view, and with regard to the laws of different States. Thorough work in this course ought to equip the
student as a practical conveyancer at the time of his entering upon
his profession. No one may take this course who has not taken the
courses Property I and II.
Trial Practice-The courses on Procedure and Practice give a
systematic and detailed survey of the rules of law. The course on
Evidence includes an auxiliary drill in the use of the rules. The
Practice Court gives the third year student opportunity to become
practically familiar with these rules by the application of them in
litigation managed by himself. The sessions of the Co~rt are held
weekly, on Thursday evenings, for two hours. During each session
from one to three cases are tried, with and without a jury; and
other cases are disposed of in various aspects. Between the sessions,
causes are being prepared and advanced from stage to stage by the
student-attorneys in charge. While the proceedings are dispatched
at the hearings by the respective attorneys, all members of the class
are required to attend, to make notes, and to report on the work
done. A faithful attention to this course ought to give the graduate
experience in the use of legal knowledge that will materially assist
him in starting in his profession. The systematic pursuit of such
a course under an experienced instructor affords the student results more thorough, accurate, and extensive than can .be obtained
in the desultory service of a law office during a long period. A copy
of the printed Rules of the Practice Court will be mailed upon
request.
Editorial Work-To edit and digest for the profession the opinion
and record of a decided case is of great value in cultivating the skill
required in preparing briefs and analyzing precedents. Each year
not more than seven second and third-year students of known ability
are appointed Associate Editors of the Illinois Law Review, to digest
manuscript decisions of the Appellate Court.
�24
READING
COURSES
Moot Courts-A moot court is held in the second year, once a
week from November I to May I. The class is divided into two
sections, A and B, meeting on alternate weeks. The work consists
of the preparation and delivery of arguments and opinions of law on
statements of facts assigned beforehand, and is in charge of the Instructor in Forensics, with the assistance of the other members of
the Faculty.
No student is recommended for a degree, except by unanimous
vote of the Faculty, who has not satisfactorily done the work of this
course; but students entering the third-year class from another school
may, by vote of the Faculty, be excused from this course.
Public Debate-The Towle Prize Debate, held annually, is
always upon a legal topic. Students selected in April at the preliminary contest to compete in the second preliminary for the Towle
Prizes for Public Speaking and taking part therein, receive one
semester-hour of credit. Students who have not taken Forensics, or
the equivalent in another school, are not eligible.
Legal Aid Society-After October I students may be assigned
as assistants in the Chicago Legal Aid Society for practical office and
trial work. No student having grade C in more than one course is
eligible for assignment. The hours of work are determined by agreement with the Superintendent of the Society.
D. Reading Courses in Legal Biography, History
and Jurisprudence
OBJECTS OF THESE COURSES
There are two chief benefits to be obtained from the work in
these courses of reading. (I) They help to expand the lawyer's view
in all legal matters, by giving him an acquaintance witli the best
traditions of a great profession and the examples of his predecessors,
and a familiarity with the lawyer's science in its broadest relations.
(2) They help to reach the final stage of independent legal thinking,
by cultivating the habit and skill of mastering the materials without
the artificial stimulus of a daily task under the instructor's oversight.
The student is therefore recommended to cast off frankly the spirit
of merely seeking credit for a measured task. These courses
are measured in units for school purposes; but he is urged not to
confine himself to the minimum amount of reading in each prescribed
�READING
COURSES
25
subject, but to range through the material and to ·read as much as
he can in those selected subjects which most interest him. At the
same time he is expected not to let the freedom of range of choice
injure habits of accuracy, and is therefore held responsible for a
thorough acquaintance with the works presented for examination.
REGULATIONS FOR THE COURSES
I.
For graduation a credit of not less than Grade C, averaged
for all four courses, must have been obtained in Courses A, B 1, B2,
and B3; and for obtaining the required credit in any of the remaining three subjects corresponding lecture courses may be substituted.
2. A credit of one tenn-hour will be given in each one of the
above prescribed courses of reading, as well as in the optional
Courses BA1, BA2, BA3, CA1, and CA2.
3. An examination will be held at the beginning of the first
term of the year and at other times during th e year, in the
B and C courses; but notice must be filed in the Secretary's office,
at least sixty days before the announced date of examination, by
each student intending to take it. Details as to the arrangements
will be duly posted on the Bulletin Board.
Students are urged to do the required reading during the summer
vacation.
A student may take any of these examinations at any time after
entering the School, no matter to what class he belongs. ·
4. A student entering with advanced standing n~ed not take
Course A.
-
5. A student who has already obtained credit at a college or law
school for work equivalent to any of the B or C courses will be
given credit for that subject as required in this School; but may
also obtain credit by doing the work of any remaining courses not
taken elsewhere.
6. No lectures are given in any of the B or BA courses; the
work is done by private study. But the courses are under the
general supervision of the examiner, who will open them by a
general discourse on the subject and materials, and will give any
desired advice on the materials of study.
7. The credit in any of the Courses C will count as one of the
required ten term-hours of the senior year.

COURSES
8. Students are recommended to own the books named if they

YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION
XI
The Young Men's Christian Association
The Young Men's Christian Association of Chicago has established a branch which carries on work in the three Schools in the
University Building and which is in charge of a trained Secretary
who devotes his entire time to work among the students in the building. In add~tion to its religious and social work, the Association
maintains a list of approved rooming and boarding places in Chicago
and Evanston and a student employment bureau.
All students are invited to make the Association rooms their headquarters during the year. As far as possible new students will be met
at the train by an Association man wearing a badge. Those desiring
to be so met will please write a few days in advance to Y. M. C. A.,
Northwestern University Building, Chicago, indicating clearly on
what train they are to reach Chicago, and over what road they are
to come.

�FOUNDING, PURPOSE AND LOCATION
15
IV
Founding, Purpose, and Location of the
Law School
T
HE LAW SCHOOL was founded in 1859 with a sum of
money given by Thomas Hoyne, when there were only three
similar schools west of the Allegheny Mountains. The
first dean was Henry Booth, 1859-1891. For many years the School
was under the joint control of the old University of Chicago and
of Northwestern University, and was known as the Union College
of Law. In 1891, the other University having long ceased to share
in the management and being about to surrender its charter, Northwestern University assumed sole control, and the School has since
been an integral part of the University, and has borne its name.
The course of study is arranged to give a knowledge of the law
that will be indispensable to students wherever they may practice.
Graduates of the School now practice ifi nearly forty States and
Territories. Special courses are offered for acquiring a knowledge
of the law of Illinois.
The Case-study system, or the study of the principles of law as
illustrated in judicial opinions, is followed; but each instructor employs it according to his own judgment, conducting the classes by
lectures, discussions, recitations, written exercises, or in any way he
deems best adapted to the subject. The extensive library of the
School, the Elbert H. Gary Library of Law, lends itself peculiarly
to this modern and scientific method of instruction.
The School is located in Northwestern University Building at
the corner of Lake and Dearborn Streets, Chicago, which was
acquired and rebuilt in 1901-1902, at a cost of nearly one million
dollars. It is situated near the center of the business district of
Chicago and is of easy access from all residence portions of the city.
The City, State, and Federal Courts are within a few blocks. The
School occupies 24,000 square feet of space, divided into convenient
lecture-rooms, assembly-rooms, study-rooms, professor's offices, courtroom, and library. The arrangement of the rooms, opening on an
inner court, ensures seclusion and quiet for study.

Library Facilities
THE ELBERT H. GARY LIBRARY
OF
LAW
The library of some 45,000 volumes represents chiefly the gifts
of the Honorable Elbert H. Gary, LL.B., 1867, of New York City,
and is unusual in its scope. It contains duplicate sets of the United
States Reports, the official Reports of all the States and Territories,
the complete National Reporter System, partly in duplicate, the
Lawyers' Reports Annotated, all of the official Illinois Reports in
triplicate, statutes of all the States in the Union, and a large coll~ction of digests, periodicals, encyclopedias, and textbooks. Of the
British legal sources, it possesses the complete Statutes, and substantially all the regular Reports of England, Ireland, and Canada since
the beginning of the Year Books, except those appearing in law
journals.
Besides the library of Modern Anglo-American law, there are
the following special collections:
Modern Continental Law, numbering some 13,000 volumes on
the law of the twenty-three European countries, as contained in
statutes, decisions, journals, and treatises, is more comprehensive in
scope than any other collection in the United States.
International Law, numbering nearly 3,000 volumes, includes a
large quantity of printed material relating to American, British, and
Continental diplomacy, not elsewhere available in the West.
Ancient, Oriental, Primitive, and Medieval Law includes the
Hindu, Mohammedan, Hebrew, Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Chinese, Japanese, and sundry other systems, as well as the medieval
European materials. It numbers 3,000 volumes, and offers unique
facilities for research to students of comparative legal history.
Roman and Civil Law, numbering 2,500 volumes, including the
library of the late Moritz Voigt of Leipzig, Germany, contains many
rare volumes not found in any other American Library.
Ecclesiastical Law, nun1bering 200 volumes, contains a selection
of the most useful texts, commentaries, and journals.
�17
THE ELBERT H. GARY LIBRARY
Jurisprudence and Philosophy of Law, numbering 1,000 volumes,
includes all the important American, English, German, French,
Italian and Latin texts on this subject.
Criminal Law and C1·iminology, numbering over 3,000 volumes,
provides the most ample materials, from all countries, for research
in this growing subject.
Anglo-American Legal History includes material relating to
English Historical Legal Literature, sets of Colonial session laws
(mostly reprints), revisions, contemporary and modern treatises on
the laws of the colonies, and other material related to the history of
the development of the common law in England and the United
States. This collection now numbers about 2,500 volumes and contains many rare and valuable historical treatises.
-
Latin-American Law includes collections of the laws of Mexico,
the Central American, and the South American States, following the
arrangement in the Gary Collections of Modern Continental Law;
that is, a collection of the codes, ordinances, decisions of the Supreme
Court, most important treatises, and leading law journals. Thus far
the volumes installed number 3,000, and will be increased as rapidly
as the material can be acquired.
L egal Bibliography, numbering some 500 volumes and pamphlets,
covering all topics and countries, is one of the most extensive of the
kind in this country.
The extensive library of the Chicago Law Institute, two blocks
distant, exchanges the privileges of consultation for all books not in
the Elbert H. Gary Library.

of the special programs set forth below:
Two kinds of programs are here given; one for students who
enter to take one or two years of College courses, not as candidates
for a degree of Bachelor of Arts or Sciences, but solely as a preparation for entering the Law School; the other for students who are

Courses in Illinois Law
Some twenty short courses on Illinois Law are given every year
by a special corps of lecturers.
THE PURPOSES OF THE COURSES
The purposes of these courses are:
I. To furnish instruction in the local law of the State, as
distinguished from the general law of Anglo-America.
2. To cultivate a scientific treatment of the State law as an
independent body of law.
3. To furnish the advanced student with an experience in the
critique of judicial precedents emanating from a single court.
�r
34
COURSES IN ILLINOIS LAW
The courses are intended for third-year students, alumni, and
graduates who come from schools in other States to the Illinois bar.
MoDE oF CONDUCTING THE CouR~Es
The lecturers are '(with one exception) all alumni of the school,
having an experience of from three to fifteen years at the bar. In
most instances the lecturer's subject is one in which his special
experience at the bar has given him a particular interest.
The topics selected are usually fo1,1r under each subject, one for
each hour; each subject receiving four hours; and the topics within
each subject are or may be changed in part from year to year. In
three subjects ( Pleading, Constitutional Law, and Practice) the
lectures number eight, sixteen, and thirty-two respectively. Two
lectures a week are given in each course; usually two courses are
proceeding at the same time.
The work of the class is done by studying beforehand a select
list of leading cases. A syllabus list of these cases is distributed
before the opening of each course. Each lecturer employs the mode
of exposition that seems to him best,-a formal lecture, discussion,
etc. An examination is held in each course; and work done is
credited proportionately towards a degree, like work done in other
courses of the curriculum.
During the year 1917-18 the topics were as follows; the figure
suffixed to the subject-title denotes the number of lectures:
I.
General Practice (32).
All topics.
II. Municipal Corporations (4). I. Special Assessment and
Special Taxation (including the "Michigan Blvd. Link" Ordinance). 2. Public Improvements and Power of Eminent Domain.
3. Public Service Companies and Franchises in their Relation to

Exercises in Forensic Writing, Speaking,
and Practice
As a part of the systematic instruction represented in the foregoing curriculum, an effort is made to provide adequate training in
the practical use of legal knowledge and in certain important forms
of legal writing and speaking which help materially to equip the
accomplished lawyer. Some of the various branches of work
directed to this end are as follows:
Pleadings and Other Instruments-The courses on Common Law
Pleading, Code Pleading, and Equity Pleading, in addition to the
�38
PRACTICE
study of the legal sources, include exercises in the drafting of the
various kinds of pleadings. In Corporations, the class is formed during the second semester into two corporations, which organize, elect
officers, issue stock, enlarge capital, keep books, consolidate, and do
various other acts of corporate business calling for the drafting of
instruments and in other ways familiarizing the student with the
use of the legal knowledge acquired. In other courses, particularly
in Commercial Paper, Carriers, Insurance, attention is paid to the
forms of instruments in common use.
Conveyancing-In the course on Conveyancing the chief material
consists of a series of selected abstracts of title representing a great
variety of documents and proceedings involving property rights. A
copy o/ each abstract is purchased by each member of the class and a
detailed _study of matters of form and substance is made from the
conveyancer's point of view, and with regard to the laws of different States. Thorough work in this course ought to equip the
student as a practical conveyancer at the time of his entering upon
his profession. No one may take this course who has not taken the
courses Property I and II.
Trial Practice-The courses on Procedure ahd Practice give a
systematic and detailed survey of the rules of law. The course on
Evidence includes an auxiliary drill in the use of the rules. The
Practice Court gives the third year student opportunity to become
practically familiar with these rules by the application of them in
litigation managed by himself. The sessions of the Court are held
weekly, on Thursday evenings, for two hours. Buring each session
from one to three cases are tried, with and without a jury; and
other cases are disposed of in various aspects. Between the sessions,
causes are being prepared and advanced from stage to stage by the
student-attorneys in charge. While the proceedings are dispatched
at the hearings by the respective attorneys, all members of the class
are required to attend, to make notes, and to report on the work
done. A faithful attention to this course ought to give the graduate
experience in the use of legal knowledge that will materially assist
him in starting in his profession. The systematic pursuit of such
a course under an experienced instructor affords the student results more thorough, accurate, and extensive than can be obtained°
in the desultory service of a law office during a long period. A copy
of the printed Rules of the Practice Court will be mailed upon
request.
�READING COURSES
39
Editorial Work-To edit and digest for the profession the opinion
and record of a decided case is of great value in cultivating the skill
required in preparing briefs and analyzing precedents. Each year
not more than seven second and third-year students of known ability
are appointed Associate Editors of the Illinois Law Review, to digest
manuscript decisions of the Appellate Court.
Moot Courts-A moot court is held in the second year, once a
week from November 1 to May I. The class is divided into two
sections,· A and B, meeting on alternate weeks. The wqrk consists
of the preparation and delivery of arguments and opinions of law on
statements of facts assigned beforehand, and is in charge of the Instructor in Forensics, with the assistance of the other members of
the Faculty.
No student is recommended for a degree, except by unanimous
vote of the Faculty, who has not satisfactorily done the work of this
course; but students entering the third-year class from another school
may, by vote of the Faculty, be excused from this course.
Public Debate-The Towle Prize Debate, held annually, is
always upon a legal topic. Students selected in April at the preliminary contest to compete in the second preliminary for the Towle
Prizes for Public Speaking and taking part therein, receive one
semester-hour of credit. Students who have not taken Forensics, or
the equivalent in another school, are not eligible.
Legal Aid Society-After October I students may be assigned
as assistants in the Chicago Legal Aid Society in the University
Building for practical office and trial work. No student having
grade C in more than one course is eligible for assignment. The
hours of work are determined by agreement with the Superintendent of the Society.
Reading Courses in Legal .Biography,
History and Jurisprudence
OBJECTS OF THESE COURSES
There are two chief bene.fits to be obtained from the work in
these courses of reading. ( 1) They help to expand the lawyer's view
in all legal matters, by giving him an acquaintance with the best
traditions of a great profession and the examples of his predecessors,
and a familiarity with the lawyer's science in its broadest relations.
( 2) They help to reach the final stage of independent legal thinking,
by cultivating the habit and skill of mastering the materials without
�40
READING COURSES
the artificial stimulus of a daily task under the instructor's oversight.
The . student is therefore recommended to cast off frankly the spirit
of merely seeking credit fot a measured task. These courses
are measured in units for school purposes; but he is urged not to
confine himself to the minimum amount of reading in each prescribed
subject, but to range through the material and to read as much as
he can in those selected subjects which most interest him. At the
same time he is ·expected not to let the freedom of range of choice
injure habits of accuracy, and is therefore held responsible for a
thorough acquaintance with the works presented for examination.
REGULATIONS FOR THE COURSES
I.
For graduation the regulations for Required Courses, on
page 20, apply here as follows: ( r) A credit of not less than
Grade C, averaged for all five courses, must have been obtained in
Courses A, Bi, B2, and B3; (2) and for obtaining the required
credit in any two of the remaining five subjects enumerated on page
21 (par. 4), any of the reading courses Cr, C2, or C3 may be substituted for the corresponding lecture courses.
2. A credit of one term hour will be given in each one of the
above prescribed courses of reading, as well as in the optional
Courses BAr, BA2, BA3, CAr, and CA2.
3. An examination will be held at the beginning of the first
term of the year and at other times during the first term, in the
B and C courses; but notice must be filed in the ·Secretary's office,
at least sixty days before the announced date of examination, by
each student intending to take it. Details as to the arrangements
will be duly posted on the Bulletin Board.
Students are urged to do the required reading during the summer
vacation.
A student may take any of these examinations at any time after
entering the School, no matter to what class he belongs.
4. A student entering with advanced standing need not take
Course A.
5. A student who has already obtained credit at a college or law
school for work equivalent to any of the B or C courses will be
given credit for that subject as required in this School; but may
also obtain credit by doing the work of any remaining courses not
taken elsewhere.
�READING COURSES
41
6. No lectures are given in any of ·the B or BA courses; the
work is done by private study. But the courses are under the
general · supervision of the examiner, who will open them by a
general discourse on the subject and materials, and will give any
desired advice on the materials of study.
7. The credit in any of the Courses C will count as one of the
required ten term-hours of the third year.
8. Students are recommended to own the books named if they
can afford to purchase · them, but the Library provides a sufficient
number of copies for use; except that the student is expected to
provide his own personal copy of ( 1) all books in Course A, ( 2)
the two works in Group 1 of Course B3.

Courses of Summer Study
A course of summer work is provided, open to those who have
studied law for one or two years in this or another law school.
The summer courses are recommended to ambitious and industrious students, who may not be obliged to occupy themselves entirely
at other work, for three main reasons:
I. They put the student more at liberty to take, during the
regular school year, a larger n_umber of those courses which can best
be pursued only in the class room under the lectures of an instructor,
and which might otherwise have to be omitted for lack of time.
2.

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
Vol. XVII, No. XXIII BULLETIN
February 10, 1917
Northwestern University Bulletin is published every week by the University at Evanston, Illinois;
Entered at the post office, Evanston, IJI., as second-class matter under Act of Congress July 16, 1904.
COMMENTS
By . Bar Association Officers, Judges, Bar Examiners, Law School
Teachers and Practicing Lawyers on the INCREASE IN
REQUIREMENTS FOR ENTRANCE AND
GRADUATION IN THE LAW SCHOOL.
EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS FROM BAR ASSOCIATION
OFFICERS.
"I am. glad you have taken this stand. The time has come when
we must make the law a profession and not a mere business or calling. Our worst fight is with the Bar itself. I have been on the Board,
or connected with the Board, conducting the examinations for aC,mission to the Bar in this State for fifteen years, and we have, until
recently, had a continual fight with the members of the Supreme Court.
Happily, however, they have all acquiesced with the Board's ruling.
But we still have trouble with the Bar. Many prominent members
of the Bar, and who are law school men too, get the wrong viewpoint, and that was the trouble with our judges for a long time. They
were of different point of view than Mr. Root. That theory is to
admit them, and if they are no good the plJlblic will not employ them.
They were not able to see that it is the public that suffers because of
an inefficient Bar. .
"I am not a law school man. But from my experience in the dealings with those seeking admission to the Bar, I .would provide, had
I the right to make the rule, that only those who are graduates• of
law schools of high standing could be admitted to the Bar. Of course
we have some excellent lawyers who never saw college and did not
even finish high school; some of the best we have, as a matter of
fact; nevertheless, they are educated men; somewhat on the plan qn
which Lincoln was educated. But those are the exceptions. My
observation is that a good general education is even more requisite
than a good legal education; for under the present system most of
the law is learned by the lawyer after he is admitted to the Bar. But
T often make the statement that any one can look about him in the

1~al prof~ssioh and find that four-fifths of the attorneys ' who are
,allege tramed are successes. The other one-fifth would be failures in
any event. Of those who are not college trained four-fifths are fail.ures. The other one-fifth, like Lincoln, would surmount any obstacle."
(Member of Washington State Bar Association).
"Personally, I am heartily in favor of action of this character,
and I trust that it will, at a comparatively early date, be taken by
all of the law schools in the United States, though I presume this is
almost too much to expect."
(Member of S~uth Dakota State Bar Association).
"I 1believe it is the .general sentiment and opinion of a large number, perhaps not a majority, of the members of our State Bar Association that the requirements for preliminary legal studies should be
made as full and comprehensive as possible. ' This is a matter upon
which you and others holding positions similar to yours, certainly have
more general information than the average practitioner. I think that
action along these lines will be more likely to be taken by our State Bar
Associations if the Deans of our law colleges would place before the
Chairmen of the several Committees on Legal Education such information as they may possess, in order that the Chairmen and members of
these Committees may become better informed on the subject. The
great majority of us have our ideas on the subject, but we have no
specific information and not much general information on the St]bject.
We need educating on the subject."
( Member of the Committee on Legal Education
of the American Bar Association).
"I congratulate you upon taking up this important step so
promptly and hope that the other schools will concur in and follow
your action and so conform to the resolution recently adopted by the
American Bar Association."
(Member of .New York State Bar Association).
"I think the step you have taken a good one, and in line with
the expression not only of the American Bar Association, but many
of the State associations, and it will tend to meet an evil that is recognized by all of us."
(Member of New Jersey State Bar Association).

"I congratulate you on the higher standard fixed by your Law
School. In my opinion it is a move in the right direction. No action
however can be taken by our Board of law examiners without the
sanction of the legislature and the supreme court. I shall have a
conference with some of the members of the court in the 'near future."
"I commend you and your school for your stand in this regard,
and I hope your example will be followed 'by other leading universities
of the country and be adopted by the state bar examiners."
( Member of Mississippi State Bar Association).
"I have been very much interested in the announcement recently
received concerning the establishment of your four year law course.
It marks a great step forward in legal education. It is something
which I believe is bound to come, and the sooner it can be established
the better."
( Member of Iowa State Bar Association).
.
"I wish to express my personal appreciation of the stand taken
by yo1.1r University in conformity with the resolution of the American
Bar Ass'ociation."
(Mem'b er of Wisconsin State Bar Association).
"It is to be sincerely hoped that the Universities of the United
States will take the same action as the Northwestern University School
·
·
of Law."
(Member 'o f Texas Bar Association).
"I have always declared that a four-year course should be required
by Law Schools, and it is a great pleasure to congratulate you and
your school in starting the movement."
(Member of New Mexico Bar Association).
/_
"I am, as you know, heartily in accord with the general principle
of extending the law school course to four years. * * ·,;, However, I feel it would be unwise to bring -b efore the Committee on Legal
Education of our Bar Association; which is composed of a member
from each of our counties, many of whom are not in sympathy with
law school education, any concrete proposition for a four-year law
school course. I believe that more good can be done this year by
obtaining the endorsement of our Bar Association to the resolution
passed 'by the Section on Legal Education of the American Bar Association. I hope that I will 'be able to keep in touch with the practical
workings of your proposed courses; and that at some near future date
our Committee here will endorse it or some similar four-year law
school course."
( Member of Pennsylvania Bar Association).

.·· ''.' "I , am glad your school has, ta:kert this forward step; and I trust
thatt evei-y Amevican law school will . do the same thing; There are
about four tin'res· as 'many lawyers as are needed; and a!bout ten times
as many as· are qu·wlified to practice law. Could the public be made
to realize ·the a·bsolute necessity for a higher standard of preparation
for the bar, it would work a great good for the. whole country. I
trust that uniform State laws may be adopted in every State in the
Union, fixing the standard 'as high, or higher, as will be required at
the opening of your school in 1918. . There is no doubt about the
popular response, and were the attention of the various St~te Legislatures .called to the real status of _legal education in this country, the
consequent loss to litigants, the ttouble stirred up' by am.bulance chasing devices to make aJiving where none ought tobe made, r. have no
doi.1bt . that a proper standard wquld be adopted. The people want
good laws, and they want capaible lawyers, but'the difficulty is that a
gang of politicians surrounds .· fhe Legislatures and immediately go
to decrying the efforts of the rich to prevent the poor from attaining
eminence. The truth is tliaCa poor-boy of girl has as a general rule
a better show than fhe boy with wealth, and the poor boy who ·wants
to go ·through school can do so, although the ·task may be ' harp, But
even if he cannot, his inability to do so is no reason for allowing an
unprepared applicant to reach the bar. The 'ttouble is that lawyers
move too slow; they decide they cannot .- do anything; but fhe truth is
.the duty is theirs and the .power is in their hands to properly enlighten
the commuµity of its, real needs. High costs of farm p,roduc,ts should
be a clear indication that the thousands of acres of vacant grounds in
the Uµited $tates might be cultivated · to good advantage by a con·
siderable percentage 'o f th~ J1_4,000_o,f the American Bar."

FROM JUDGES.
"Up to the present time I have not ibeen satisfied t\1a_t the fobryear law- cbtirse was desirable, inclining to ·a three-year course, with
higher requirements_ for admission to the study of the law. This is
about as much as we can stand in the East at present.
Perhaps i:nore ·can be induced to remain in our law schools for an
M. L. course, the advantage of this being ' self-evident: Personally
I'ldepl'ore the permission extended to students to make their last year's
study for a B. A. degree the first year's study of the law. The reason
for this, to ,lessen the age ·at which students may begin the practice,
will militate aga:inst ·the adoption of the four-year ·course.
- ·This opinion expressed of the fot!r-year course 'is, of' course, subject to modification and change, and your experience with this change
will be carefully noted. I have not had the opportunity of seeing my
associates since receiving your letter ·· and prefer · not to -attempt to
represent their attitude toward your question."

"I am very glad to hear of the action that you have taken in

"I am glad to note that a· University ·of your strength has come

"While conceding the urgency for greater qualification of the

the profession is more than ever crowded and that the best interests

"I am glad to see that your great University is doing so much
to have future members of the Bar educationally qualified. Our
Legislature has prescribed a course of either an Examining Board or
the Supreme Court, and I think prolonged time of study. Vve may
be aale to do more in that direction at the next session."
( Member of Louisiana State Board of Law Examiners).
"I am a member of the State Board of Bar Examiners and keenly
interested in the matter specified in your letter. I fully realize the
immediate necessity for additional requirements for admission to the
bar of this State, but have no reason to believe that we can obtain at
the hands of the Legislature at its January ( 1917) session the fouryear rule. I hope to obtain, at least, some improvement as to the
requirements for admission to the bar of this State. * * * * *
The argument we hear on every -hand is that it matters little where a
candidate for admission by examination may have received his knowledge of the law, if he demonstrates sufficient knowledge of the law to
successfully pass our examinations. Again, it is said that one who
possesses sufficient knowledge of the law to successfully pass our ·
examinations, must, of necessity, possess a fundamental education on
account of such fact. Both conclusions are erroneous in my judgment."

FROM TEACHERS OF LAW.
" Since my inability to attend the meeting of the Association _o f
American Law Schools because of the conflict in date with our State
Bar Association meeting prevents my extending to you and to your
Faculty, personally, my congratulations on your increased entrance
.requirements and particularly on your establishment of the four-year
law course, I now send them by letter. I am most heartily in accord
with the idea that four years of law study should be required for
admission to the lbar, and that standard law schools should maintain
a four-year course."
· "I have been greatly interested by the announcement of your new
requirements for admission to the law school. I believe that three
years of college and four of law represent the ideal ratio. I am in
hopes that sometime we can induce the colleges and universities to
condense their undergraduate courses into three years and give a
degree at the end of that time."
"We hasten to advise that we are heartily in sympathy with the
step which you have taken in announcing a four-year required course.
I am trying to have the law of Nebraska changed in accordance with
the recomrpendations of the Committee on Legal ·Education of the
American Bar Association, so as to require four years of study for
admi ssion to the bar, at least three of which must have been in a law
·school. This is, of course, a radical step and we may not succeed, but
we feel that office study should be abolished, that students should be
trained only in law schools, and that the course of preparation should
'
cover four years."

dents. From my own experience I find that the assistance which was
given me while I was with the Legal Aid Society has been ah:nost
invalua'ble; for I learned many little detail matters which have .helped
me with the smaller cases, the younger lawyer always secures. While
such work is very good for immediate use after admission to the
Bar, I am finding more and more as I proceed in the practice of law
that the questions which come up for solution are not those which
would likely arise in a moot trial, the Legal Aid work, or even during the short time spent in the review of any one subject, ibut they
a-re questions which can be solv.ed only by plain reasoning combined
with a fair knowledge of the substantive law on the particular subject
and allied subjects involved. The work which you have placed in
this new curriculum seems to me to make an ideal working basis."

"I am gratified to learn of the raised standards of admission to
and graduation from our Law School. It is fitting that this great
institution should lead rather than follow in the movement to elevate
the standards of the Bar. I have long felt that we needed fewer
attorneys and more lawyers, and that increased educational requirements for _the Bar would mean higher standards of service in legislation and judicature."

ultimately this 1s going to greatly add to the fame" of Northwestern
Law School."

"Today we are in rec-eipt of a letter from you informing us
that our Alma Mater, for whom we have the deepest affection, has
decided to inaugurate a four-year course for all students entering the
portals of · dear old Northwestern Law; and requi'ring a three-year
college course for admission to the Law School. We have both long .
hoped that the day was not far distant when such changes would :be
made in the rules pertaining to admission ·to the Law School, as well
as that the legal course would be made a four-year, instead of a threeyear course, and so it is with the greatest and deepest feeling of satisfaction that we welcome the glad tidings.

proval of the action of the Faculty in this matter, and to be sure,

of the school far beyond those it has already attained, if such is in
any way possible.

"We· are indeed delighted with the wonderful news, and truly
consider this much needed arid long anticipated step, as the crowning
event in the history of the Law School."
ELMER L. ANDERSON, '15,
JUNIUS C:::. SCOFIELD, '15,
( Anderson & Scofield).
"Allow me to add my humble congratulations to tlie many you
have doubtless already received. There is no doubt that the Faculty
of the School is as fine as any in the country, and the opportunities
for a sound legal education as great; but there is also no doubt that,
under the old system, the number of irresponsible lads, who were
inclined to look upon the legal profession more as a lucrative business
than as a calling, was inclined to increase rather than decrease. To
put it bluntly, it was too easy to get by under the old requirements.
I do not mean to say that the present changes are a cure-all; but, at
least, they will bring to the school men who are old enough to have
done some thinking for themselves; equipped, to a certain extent '!t
least, with an education which would tend to broaden their outlook,
and give them a few ideals. upon which to build."
. JOHN R, WINTERBOTHAM, '15,
( with E. A. Burgess).
"I was immensely pleased to receive your letter announcement
saying an advance in the requirements for entrance to the law ·department of the Northwestern ·University and an extension of the course
to four years had been made. Notwithstanding the recent law put
through in Massachusetts allowing those who had pursued a two-year
course in law to take the bar examination, I am of the opinion that
higher requirements for the study of law and longer courses will not
mitigate against the poor and deserving class but will really help them
by requiring greater effort and consequently broader knowledge, and
quicker and more lasting success in post school life. I mention the
"poor but deserving" class because to all other classes the require. ment and length of course has no pecuniary significance, and is consequently of little importance to them.
'
"For my own part, I had two years' college credit and then four
and a half years' law; and after all I felt rather incompetent when
I got into practice. The raising of the Northwestern standard
naturally makes me feel a little prouder of my degree in that school."

"I have your letter of the 20th in regard to the new departure in
connection with the Law Department of the University. I am very
glad to see this. I do think that the Bar is having brought to it a
Very large number of men totally unfit on account of their early education, their legal education, and their moral perception, and especially
is this the case among the foreign population."
E. C. FERGUSON, '80.
"I do not believe that you can get the standard too high, because
the level should at least be paramount to all professions."
ToM H. BucKTHORPE, '99.
"As to the point about securing desiraible and properly qualified
students from the colleges and universities, I wish to say that I think
many would gladly apply to your Law School if their attention were
drawn to the fact that there is such a good school in Chicago. As
you know, many law students, after graduation from a distant college,
would like to study law near home, not only for the matter of expense
saving, but many other obvious reasons, as perhaps one's father may
be a lawyer, or he may have a prosperous business here."
"In this connection, I will say as a matter of p~rsonal experience,
that when I was in my last year at Princeton University, I felt I
wanted to ask ·some one qualified to know about law schools here,
and I asked President Wilson, then professor there, and he recommended Northwestern."__________ H. B. BOGUE, '95.
"I cannot concur in the opinion of thos~ who advocate additional
requirements for admission and a prolonged course bf study such as
is contemplated. First, because such requirements are not necessary
to make good lawyers. I know a number of lawyers in Chicago who
are first class but who have not had anywhere near the preliminary
education or the training in law required by the new standards. The
inan who graduated at the head of my class in Northwestern and who
had the best scholarship record, as I understand it, was a man with
only a high school education. Second, because added restrictions and
burdens will tend to keep men out of law school, and make it more
difficult to comply with your request to the alumni to pledge them·
selves to secure students.
"Nor can I agree that the so-called consequences enumerated by
Mr. Root in his ibrief are due to inadequate education and training of
lawyers. In fact. most of the so_-called consequences are not the result
of ignorance or ineffi.ciency on the part of lawyers, but the result of
deliberate planning to 'muss up' procedure, block the progress of

cases, and secure delay for clients, and in doing this lawyers act deliberately and with a purpose in view and not from ignorance. It is
a matter then of professional ethics rather than professional education and training.
"My experience and belief is that additional requirements in preliminary education in the arts and sciences, or additional training in
the technic and rules of law, will not instill into a lawyer that moral
or ethical sense which is one of the requirements necessary to abolish
the so-called consequences and the retardation of progress in the
courts referred to ·b y Mr. Root. Some of the ·best educated and the
best traihed men in the profession are the most adept in clogging
progress and interposing delays referred to. Many of the evils condemned by Mr. Root could be remedied by the legislature and the
courts themselve,; by simplifying the practice and procedure and conducting court business in a businesslike manner, instead of crawling
along in a rut which comes down to us from medieval times.
"I am, however, a loyal alumnus of the school, and while I have
my personal opinion concerning the step taken, I shall defer to the
decision of those in authority in the school and shall work heartily and
actively to secure at least one student eligible under the new rules.
I feel more and more my debt to old Northwestern."
.

HOMER C. DAWSON, '12,
( with Eastman, White & Hawxhurst).
"I cannot pledge myself to assist the Law School of the Northwestern University. The Law School which gives the most favorable
opportunity to the poor boy or young man is the one which will
receive such encouragement as I am able to give."

�..
�Courses in Jurisprudence, Legislation, Legal History, and
International Law
The Faculty of Law of Northwestern University announces, as
a part of its four-year course, beginning in 1918, the following group
of lecture courses ·suitable for advanced students, i. e., for those who
have taken a full three years' curriculum in the purely technical subjects and desire a fourth year of advanced study, or for those w ho have
taken two years in the technical subjects and desire to vary the
emphasis and to spend a portion of their third and fourth years in
the broader field. Most of these courses are now available for those
desiring to pursue them.
The courses are as follows:
International Law. Professor HYDE.
Roman Law. Professor KocoUREK.
Evolution of Law (Comparative Legal History), I and II (two
courses). Professor KOCOUREK.
Analytic (Formal) _Jurisprudence. Professor KocoUREK.
Philosophy of Law. Professor KocouREK.
Science of Legal lvlethod. Professor KocouREK.
Theory of Law. Professor KocoUREK.
Legal Sociology. Professor KocouREK.
Criminal Procedure and Modern Met hods in Criminology. Professor MILLAR.
Comparative Criminal Law. Professor MILLAR.
Comparative Civil Procedure. Professor MILLAR.
Problems in Contemporary Legislation. Professors HARLEY and
WIGMORE.
Statutes. Professor HARLEY.
Legislative Draftsmanship. Professor HARLEY.
American Comparative Legislation. Professor HARLEY ..
History of Anglo-American Legal Institutions. Professors CosTIGAN, MILLAR, SCHOFIELD, and WIGMORE.
Sources of Anglo-American Legal History. Professors MILLAR,
WIGMORE, and ZANE.
These courses represent the subjects which are nowadays becoming
recognized as essential to the development of constructive legal thinking and intellectual public leadership at the bar. Our profession is at
present suffering from over-devotion in the past to the purely technical side of the law in legal education. The ambitious and pros
�gressive young men of today, who believe in the high traditions of
the bar as a profession and not merely an occupation and a livelihood, must realize, in building for their future career, that these
subjects of study offer a stimulus to that broad and constructive
thinking which will be expected of them in their day of power, and
is not to be gained by confining their studies to the technical subjects.
It is not that any particular one of these subjects is imperative
in its demands or extraordinary in its promises. What counts, for
their value to the student, is the group as a whole-this kind of
subject~the kind of ideas represented by it, and the kind of thinking
stimulated by it. In the recent report on American Legal Education, made by Professor Redlich of Vienna to the Carnegie Foundation
for Teaching, the lack of attention ordinarily given in American
law schools, both by faculties and by students, to this class of subjects, is noted by the author of the report as the principal defect
in the otherwise commendable system of modern legal education in
this country.
It is the desire of the Faculty of this School to encourage the
pursuit of this class of studies.
An outline of the respective courses is as follows:
International Law. Four semester hours. Professor HYDE.
The course embraces the study of the rights and duties of States,
particularly in relation to matters respecting political independence,
property and control, jurisdiction, nationality, treaties, as well as
amicable and hostile modes of adjusting international differences.
The work consists chiefly in the examination of American documentary evidence of what the executive, judicial and legislative departments of the United States have deemed international rights and
duties to be. Moore's Digest of International Law, Moore's International Arbitrations, and Scott's Cases are specially relied upon.
This course is expected to be enlarged, making two or more courses
in this field.
For courses on Diplomatic History, etc., given in the College of
Liberal Arts, see the University Catalogue.
Roman Law. Two semester hours. Professor KocouREK.

History and Sources: Regal Period; J us Ci vile; J us

The object of this course is to emphasize the principles of the
law's development, and some of the leading ideas and methods of
the Roman system in comparison with our own. The standpoint of
comparison will not include modern European codes; that being
regarded as a very large subject which requires independent treatment in any aspect. Furthermore, it is thought desirable that the
materials of Roman law should fall, first of all, within the sphere
4
�of practical jurisprudence ( contrary to the tradition). This cleavage
of treatment is moreover made necessary by the fact that formal
jurisprudence is represented in the curriculum by an independent
course.

selected sources of four sorts. The first group includes passages
from Homer, Plutarch, C:;esar, and other classical sources portraying
primitive legal life. The second group includes similar passages
describing the legal life of the Kaffirs, Eskimos, and other surviving
peoples of retarded civilizations. The third group includes the

legal institutions-State, clan, family, marriage, paternal power,
adoption, private property, communal property, barter, sale, agency,
mortgage, inheritance, contract, procedure, oath, blood-feud, etc., etc.
Volume III deals with the formative influences affecting the evolution
of the various legal ideas and is used in the course mentioned next
below. Volumes II and III are a compilation of chapters and essays
selected from various authors-Maine, Fustel, Kohler, Tarde, Leist,
Colnon, Tylor, etc.-ranging over all countries during the last fifty
years, and thus supplying copious materials for critical discussion of
the progress of knowledge, in connection with the original materials
ofVolume I.

the instructor, and requires preparation of a survey in the form of a
report outlined at the beginning of the work. Open only to students
who have done satisfactory work in this group of courses.
Problems in Contemporary Legislation. One semester hour.
Professors HARLEY and WIGMORE.
This course may be described as an elementary experience with
law in the making. After two years of study in analyzing and dissecting judicial decisions, the student may well proceed from consid6
�eration of law as a static element to law as a dynamic force. The
main purpose of the course is to cultivate a correct attitude towards
the body of the law as not inherently static, but as potentially always
in need of improving change,-yet a change which shall be based on a
definite knowledge of the shortcomings and shall adjust itself accurately and concretely to the existing rules. On the subjective side, it
has proved advantageous to acquaint the student with the present
growth of law as legal phenomenon of striking significance. Modern
law may be considered as struggling to grow up to commercial and
social needs. On the objective side, the need for training lawyers for
usefulness in the field in which the bar alone can serve calls for
consideration at the hands of the law school.
The topics are only those which ( r) have given rise to more or
less public discussion in print, and (2) deal with some proposed
change in that common law ( or traditional statutory law) which is
treated in the law school curriculum; they are thus meant to exclude
topics which, though involving problems of legislation, deal primarily
with social, economic, or similar materials. The purpose is not to
disseminate information concerning the topics, though this is an incidental result, but to study and discuss the plausible reaction of the
legal mind toward the solution of the problems involved. Among
those topics taken up in recent years have been the following: Writ
of Habeas Corpus, Juvenile Court, Expert Testimony, Federal
Control of Corporations, Bills of Lading, Delays and Technicalities
in Procedure, Indeterminate Sentence, Personal Injury Litigation,
Migratory Divorce, etc.
Each student selects a topic and prepares to lead the discussion
at the session devoted to his topic. He ( r) presents the existing law
on the subject, (2) voices the complaints and objections which have
been recorded, and ( 3) proposes legislation intended to obviate these
defects according to approved methods of legal science. The other
members of the class are permitted to question freely, and finally to
participate in a round-table debate and vote upon the concrete
proposals. This method has been found to effect ( r) a fairly thorough presentation, (2) a maximum of information and stimulation of
interest on the part of the entire class, and ( 3) practice in drawing
up and using the students' fund of legal knowledge and correlating it
with concrete problems of public interest and importance. The
class may be considered, by way of analogy, as a typical legislative
-committee before which has appeared a champion for a proposed
legislative measure of a comprehensive nature.
This course has been given to classes in this School of Law for the
past eight years. Meanwhile the relation of the average practicing
lawyer to the development of statute law has been one of increasing
participation and responsibility. The development of the legislative
drafting bureau in one form or another has served to direct attention
7
�to one of the greatest sources of weakness in American state government. It is now finally realized that the great mass of statutes
intended to modify, correlate and extend the field of law are almost
uniformly defective in technique and in grasp of the science of law.
A practical science of legislation to fill this insistent need is being
created. Technical and scientific aid to legislative bodies is found
not antagonistic to our highest theory of popular representation. But
finally the need, whether through complete development of the drafting bureau idea or through improved personnel of representative
bodies, comes back to the legal profession, and must be sustained by
the better educated lawyers and those who devote more or less of their
time to government.
The following additional courses are designed to amplify the Law
School function in this field:
Statutes. Two semester hours. Professor HARLEY.
In this course consideration will be especially given to ( 1) the
scope and authority of conscious law-making as a practical and theoretical matter, and ( i) the condition of the law at the present time
as expressed by statutes, both historically and analytically. A considerable part of the course will naturally be devoted to the operation
and effect of statutes and to their construction.
Legislative Drafting: Two semester hours. Professor HARLEY.
An opportunity for decidedly practical training is afforded by this
course. After a study of the mechanics of legislation, students will
proceed to individual and original work in draftsmanship. Their
drafts will become the subject of class-room discussion and will be
re-submitted to individuals or committees for revision. The rapid
growth of the need and demand for expert legislative draftsmen
should recommend this course to students ambitious to attach themselves to matters of present public need in the states in which they
will reside.
An additional phase of this entire subject of law in the making
deserves consideration. It appears highly probable that a development of classes along the lines indicated will result in the formation
of a center of legislative training and experience which will permit
of something more significant even than the preparation of the individual student. In collaboration with members of the faculty and
experts in various fields of growing law, it should become natural and
easy to develop one or more constructive lines of legislation through
co-operation of all concerned, but outside of the curriculum proper.
To some extent, depending in part upon the qualifications of advanced
and grad·uate students, such work may become not only of great public
service, but afford incidentally a field for practical experience on the
part of st-udents of these courses and especially students for advanced
degrees.

�American Comparative Legislation. Two semester hours. Professor HARLEY.
Specific branches of the law are traced through legislative processes, with special atte'ntion to the means taken to accomplish desired
ends. Legislation as a means to accomplish definite purposes is presented through selected examples.
Criminal Procedure and Applied Criminology. Two semester
hours. Professor MILLAR.
This course is arranged with a view to putting the _student
abreast of modern scientific thought on the subject of penal methods.
It comprises, first, a systematic study of the existing rules relating to
Jurisdiction and Venue, Prosecution, Arrest, Extradition, Proceedings before the Magistrate, Bail, the Grand Jury, Indictment, Arraignment, Pleas and Motions, Trial and Verdict, New Trial and
Arrest of Judgment, Judgment, Sentence and Execution and Prqceedings on Appeal or Error, as they are applied in American courts,
concurrently with a discussion of specific proposals for reform
recently advanced, and a comparative examination of certain portions
of other systems. After a general survey of the history of penal
theory, the course then deals with the doctrines and practice of
individualization of punishment. From this standpoint, a study in
some detail is made of the criminal offender, the causes of his
delinquency, the possibility of differentiating types and classes, mental
abnormality in relation to crime, methods of diagnosis and prognosis
and their procedural bearings, actual and potential, and the specialization of penal judgments, including a consideration of probation
and the indeterminate sentence.
Texts: Mikell's Cases on Criminal Procedure, Healy's The
Individual Delinquent, and selected readings.
Comparative Criminal Law. One semester hour. Professor
MILLAR.
Commencing with a brief survey of the history of criminal law
on the Continent of Europe-an acquaintance with that of the AngloAmerican criminal law being assumed,-this course will proceed to
a comparative study of some of the leading ideas of criminal law,
as they come to expression in different systems. Classification of
offenses, criminal attempt, criminal participation, plurality of offenses,
extenuating circumstances, and forms of punishment will thus come
under examination, on the basis of materials furnished by the textwriters and by the provisions of the more important Continental
penal codes.
Texts: Von Bar's History of Continental Criminal Law;
Barrow's Penal Codes of France, Germany, Belgium and Japan, and
selected readings.
9
�Comparative Civil Procedure.
MILLAR.
Two semester hours.
Professor
Apart from its general educative purpose, this course is meant
to furnish the student with such a viewpoint and equipment in
matters of civil procedure, as will enable him intelligently to share
in the necessary and inevitable task of procedural reform which today
lies before the American bar. At the outset, the aim is to secure an
acquaintance with the leading principles of the medireval Germanic
procedure on the one hand, and of the Roman civil procedure, on the
other, and to view, in proper perspective, the diverse methods by which
the two systems strove to attain a common end. That done, the
course proceeds to trace the historical progress of these principles and
to examine, in critical comparison, the main features of the modern
systems in which they are embodied. In the latter regard, the civil
procedures of Scotland, France, Italy, Germany and the Scandinavian
countries, as well as the developments of the Canon law procedure,
will be considered in relation to the Common Law Equity and Code
procedures of the Anglo-American law.
A reading knowledge of German and French is prerequisite.
Texts: Engelmann's History of Continental Civil Procedure,
and selected readings.
History of Anglo-American Legal Institutions. Four semester
hours. Professors COSTIGAN, MILLAR, SCHOFIELD, and WIGMORE.
This course aims to furnish a general and connected survey,
complementary to the fragmentary historical views obtained in the
other courses upon the individual parts of the law.
Each of the instructors, in separate series of lectures, will take
up the history of several institutions or general principles-for example, transferability of rights, court procedure, succession, types of contracts, remedies, extinction of claims, industrial property, etc. The
general connection of the history of the various parts of the law will
be further made plain by references to the treatises to be used by the
student.
Sources of Anglo-American Legal History. One semester hour.
Professors MILLAR, WIGMORE, and ZANE.
This course assumes that the history of similar specific topics
has already been treated as a part of the various other courses, and
. purports to carry the student to a broader_ viewpoint. The course
does not consist of manuscript lectures read by the instructor, and
is not meant to supply any purpose which the student could equally
attain by his own perusal of accepted treatises. It aims (I) to
acquaint the student with correct critical standards of authority for
his own studies, ( 2) to convey the spirit of history not as annals
merely but as an evolution, both in general periods and in particular
institutions and rules, (3) to develop the ability to pursue historical
10
�research independently. The course will consist of preliminary lectures on the use of historical sources and on periods and influences.
The student will meanwhile have made himself familiar with the
general tenor of Anglo-American legal history by perusal of two or
three accepted treatises. Various aspects will then be treated of the
Year Books and other sources, by the respective instructors, in separate series of lectures. Examples will then be studied of topical
expos1t10n. The student will then proceed to an assigned piece of
historical work of his own, making a report on the history of some
selected topic; the instructor's public critique, and the revision of the
essay, will end the course.

�Founding, Purpose, and Location of the
Law School
T
HE LAW SCHOOL was founded in 1859 with a sum of
money given by Thomas Hoyne, when there were only three
similar schools west of the Allegheny Mountains. The
first dean was Henry Booth, 1859-1891. For many years the School
was under the joint control of the old University of Chicago and
of Northwestern University, and was known as the Union College
of Law. In 1891, the other University having long ceased to share
in the management and being about to surrender its charter, Northwestern University assumed sole control, and the School has since
been an integral part of the University, and has borne its name.
The course of study is arranged to give a knowledge of the law
that will be indispensable to students wherever they may practice.
Graduates of the School now practice in nearly forty States and
Territories. Special courses are offered for acquiring a knowledge
of the law of Illinois.
The Case-study system, or the study of the principles of law as
illustrated in judicial opinions, 1s followed; but each instructor employs it according to his own judgment, conducting the classes by
lectures, discussions, recitations, written exercises, or in any way he
deems best adapted to the subject. The extensive library of the
School, the Elbert H. Gary Library of Law, lends itself peculiarly
to this modern and scientific method of instruction.
The School is located in Northwestern University Building at
the corner of Lake and Dearborn Streets, Chicago, which was
acquired and rebuilt in 1901-1902, at a cost of nearly one million
dollars. It is situated near the center of the business district of
Chicago and is of easy access from all residence portions of the city.
The City; State, an<l Federal Courts are within a few blocks. The
School occupies 24,000 square feet of space, divided into convenient
lecture-rooms, assembly-ro·omsj study-rooms, professor's offices, courtroom; and library. The arrangement of ·the ropms; opening on an
inn'er court, e'nstires seclusi'on and 'quiet for study.

Library Facilities
THE ELBERT H. GARY LIBRARY OF LAW
The library of some 43,000 volumes represents chiefly the gifts
of the Honorable Elbert H. Gary, LL.B., 1867, of New York City,
and is unusual in its scope. It contains duplicate sets of the United
States Reports, the official Reports of all the States and Territories,
the complete National Reporter System, partly in duplicate, the
Lawyers' Reports Annotated, all of the official Illinois Reports in
duplicate, statutes of all the States in the Union, and a large collection of digests, periodicals, encyclopedias and text-books. Of the
British legal sources, it possesses the complete Statutes, and substantially all the regular Reports of England, Ireland, and Canada since
the beginning of the Year Books, except those appearing in law
journals. The extensive library of the Chicago Law Institute, two
blocks distant, exchanges the privileges of consultation for all book:s
not in the Elbert H. Gary Library.
Besides the library of Modern Anglo-American law, there are
the following special collections:
Modern Continental Law, numbering some 12,000 volumes on
the law of the twenty-three European countries, as contained in
statutes, decisions, journals, and treatises, is more comprehensive in
scope than any other collection in the United States.
International Law, numbering nearly 3,000 volumes, includes a
large quantity of printed material relating to American, British and

Admission
The candidate for admission as a regular student must be at
least eighteen years of age.
A graduate of an arts or science course in a college or university
may be admitted without examination upon the presentation of his
diploma.
The graduate of a high school or academy maintaining a fouryear course of study of satisfactory grade may be admitted without
examination upon the presentation of a satisfactory certificate from
the proper school authority, provided that on September I of the year
of application for admission to the first year class the applicant is
more than twenty years of age ( after September I, I9I7, more than
twenty-one years of age).
All other applicants for admission must present proof of the

college of liberal arts and sciences or pass a satisfactory examination
upon all of the subjects included in the required work of the first
year in the College of Liberal Arts of this University.

Combined Courses m Six Years
A member of the third or fourth year class, in good standing in
the College of Liberal Arts, may elect work in the course in Law
which shall count toward his graduation in both the College of
Liberal Arts and in the Law School, but the work elected cannot
exceed one year's work in the Law School. Each election is subject
to the approval of both faculties. This provision enables a student
to complete a course in the College of Liberal Arts and Law in
six years.
Students transferring from other colleges to the Law School and
presenting as much as 72 hours of college credit, including the prescribed studies for the degree of Bachelor of Arts or Science, may
become eligible for that degree in this University by taking three
courses under the Arts faculty amounting to 18 hours of credit. The
choice of such courses shall be made under the direction of the
Law faculty, subject to the condition that prescribed studies must be
completed.
A member of the Law School not a candidate for an Arts or
Science degree may pursue not more than one course at a time in
the College of Liberal Arts during the period of his registration m
the Law School without additional charge for tuition.
ADVANCED STANDING
The requirements for advanced standing are explained under the
title Requirements for Degrees, page 34.
SPECIAL STUDENTS
Persons, not candidates for a degree, may pursue one or more
courses as special students, provided they are qualified to pursue such
courses to advantage. They will receive a certificate for all work
done and may enter at any time as candidates for a degree, provided
they were substantially qualified under the above requirements for
admission as regular students at. the time of first entering the School.
No special student may take more than twenty-five semester hours of
work in one year without special permission from the Dean.
TIME FOR ENTRANCE
Students are urged to enter at the beginning of the year. The
disadvantages of late registration are embarrassing, especially to
students who intend to practice law in Illinois.
�IO
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY
Application for advanced standing must be made before November
in the year of entrance. Registration for the graduate or fourth
year course must be made before October I.

Pre-Legal Course in the College of Liberal Arts
A full four-year course in the College of Liberal Arts is recommended by the faculty of the Law School as preparatory to the study
of law. Those who are unable to do this are recommended to tak:e
one, two, or three years, as they may be able.
Students who expect to enter the Law School and desire to pursue studies in College solely in preparation for entrance to the Law
School may pursue them in the College of Liberal Arts of this University without conforming to the program prescribed in general
for candidates for the degree of Bachelor of Arts or Sciences, or
to that prescribed in particular for first-year students; but they are
subject to the following conditions:
I.
They must file with the College Registrar a certificate from
the Dean or Secretary of the Law School that they are matriculated
in the Law School for the pre-legal course, and are recommended by
such officer to take courses in the College preparatory to entrance to
the Law School.
2. They must be qualified to enter the College under some one
of the usual requirements.
3. They must take any course needed to make up a deficiency
in such requirement.
4. They may in the first year take only the elementary courses
in any subject, unless so far as the College adviser in that subject
certifies them to be qualified for advanced courses.
5. They may reckon the work done in College towards a degree
of Bachelor of Arts or Sciences, but only so far as such work may
coincide with the regular College program for such degrees.
6. Subject to the foregoing conditions, they may pursue one
of the special programs set forth below:
Two kinds of programs are here given; one for students who
enter to take one or two years of College courses, not as candidates
for a degree of Bachelor of Arts or Sciences, but solely as a preparation for entering the Law School; the other for students who art
candidates for a degree in the College of Liberal Arts, but expect
afterwards to pursue a course in law. The latter program is so
constructed as to fulfill the rules of the Liberal Arts Faculty of this
University, requiring certain courses to be included by candidates for
a degree in Arts or Sciences.

Courses of Instruction
The courses of instruction offered make a total of 126 semester
hours, and are carefully graded between the three years. A regular
student may take any course offered in the year to which he belongs,
or any course not already taken in a preceding year; but he may not
�12
NORTHWESTERN

take, without special perm1ss10n, a course assigned to a succeeding
year, except Constitutional Law, Code Pleading, Irrigation Law,
Mining Law, and Patents of Invention, which may be taken in the
second year. Conveyancing and Property III are not open to students
who have not previously taken Property I and II.
The ccurses in Illinois Law are supplementary to the main
courses in the same subjects, and are designed to give scientific
treatment of the peculiarities of Illinois law. They are serviceable
to those who have already studied or been admitted in other states.
SCHEDULE OF HOURS
In general the schedule of hours is arranged as follows: First
year courses, between two and five o'clock in the afternoon; second
year courses, between nine a. m. and one p. m.; third year courses, between two and six o'clock in the afternoon. The Practice Court is
held in the evening at half-past seven.

TRAINING IN LEGAL WRITING, SPEAKING, AND PRACTICE
As a part of the systematic instruction in the body of the law,
represented in the foregoing curriculum, an effort is made to provide
adequate training in the practical use of legal knowledge and discipline, and in certain important details of legal writing and speaking which help materially to equip the accomplished lawyer. The
various branches of work directed to this end are as follows:
�20
NORTHWESTERN UNIVE~SITY
Pleadings and Other Instruments- The courses on Common Law
Pleading, Code Pleading, and Equity Pleading, in addition to the
study of the legal sources, include exercises in the drafting of the
various kinds of pleadings. In Corporations the class is formed during the second semester into two corporations, which organize, elect
officers; issue stock, enlarge capital, keep books, consolidate, and do
various other acts of corporate business calling for the drafting of
instruments and in other ways familiarizing the student with the
use of the legal knowledge acquired. In other courses, particularly
in Commercial Paper, Carriers, Insurance, attention is paid to the ·
forms of instruments in common use.
Conveyancing-In the course on Conveyancing the chief material
consists of a series of ten selected abstracts of title representing a
great variety of documents and proceedings involving property rights.
A copy of each abstract is purchased by each member of the class,
and a detailed study of matters of form and substance is made from
the conveyancer's point of view, and with regard to the laws of different states. Thorough work in this course ought to equip the
student as a practical conveyancer at the time of his entering upon
his profession. No one may take this course who has not taken the
courses Property I and II.
Trial Practice-The courses on Procedure and Practice give a
systematic and detailed survey of the rules of law. The course on
Evidence includes an auxiliary drill in the use of the rules. The
Practice Court gives the third year student opportunity to become
practically familiar with these rules by the application of them in
litigation managed by himself. The sessions of the Court are held
· weekly, on Thursday evenings, for two hours. During each session
from one to three cases are tried, with and without a jury; and
other cases are disposed of in various aspects. Between the sessions,
causes are being prepared and advanced from stage to stage by the
student-attorneys in charge. While the proceedings are dispatched
at the hearings by the respective attorneys, all members of the class
are required to attend, to make notes and to report on the work
done. A faithful attention to this course ought to give the graduate
experience in the use of legal knowledge that will materially assist
him in starting in his profession. The systematic pursuit of such
a course under an experienced instructor affords the student results more thorough, accurate, and extensive than can be obtained
in the desultory service of a law office during a long period. A copy
of the printed Rules of the Practice Court will be mailed upon
request.
�THE
LAW
SCHOOL
21
Theses-To encourage original research, the Faculty grants credit,
not to exceed two semester hours, to any member of the third-year
class who shall present a satisfactory thesis upon some legal topic.
The topic must be approved by a member of the Faculty before December I and the thesis must be presented on or before May I 5 of
the year in which the student expects to graduate; it must be printed
or typewritten and becomes the property of the School. The work
should be begun not later than October.
Editorial Work-To edit and digest for the profession the opinion
and record of a decided case is of great value in cultivating the skill
required in preparing briefs and analyzing precedents. Each year
not more than seven second and third year students of known ability
are appointed Associate Editors of the Illinois Law Review, to digest
manuscript decisions of the Appellate Court.
Moot Courts-A moot court is held in the second year once a
week from November I to May I. The class is divided into two
sections, A and B, meeting on alternate weeks. The work consists
of the preparation and delivery of arguments and opinions of law on
statements of facts assigned beforehand, and is in charge of the Instructor in Forensics, with the assistance of the other members of
the Faculty.
No student is recommended for a degree, except by unanimous
vote of the Faculty, who has not satisfactorily done the work of this
course; but students entering the third-year class from another school
may by vote of the Faculty be excused from this course. Credit,
one semester hour.
Public Debate-Students selected in April at the preliminary
contest to compete in the second preliminary for the Towle Prizes for
Public Speaking and taking part therein, receive one semester hour
of credit. Students who have not taken Forensics, or the equivalent
in another school, are not eligible.
Legal Aid Society-After October I students are assigned as
assistants in the Chicago Legal Aid Society, University Branch, for
practical office and trial work. No student having grade C in more
than one course is eligible for assignment. The hours of work are
determined by agreement with the Superintendent of the Society.
Summer Courses
A course of summer work is provided, open to those who have
studied law for one or two years in this or another law school.
�NORTHWESTERN
22
UNIVERSITY
The courses are reading courses. No lectures are given. The
student reads assigned books. Credit is obtained by passing an
examination, or by presenting a report or essay, at the opening of
the fall term in October. The amount of credit obtainable is stated
in term hours after each course. A maximum of 15 term hours is
here provided for.
The courses are selected from those named in the regular curriculum. For details as to books to be read, see the description of
courses there given. In any course the books specified may be
changed, by written consent of the instructor, filed with the Secretary. When no books are specified, the student must obtain a list
from the instructor, a copy to be filed with the Secretary.
The School Library is open for study during the summer, and all
necessary books may be there consulted. The instructors will advise
with the student at any time on application.

Of the above courses, only Nos. r, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, rr, 13, 14, r8,
may be taken by those who have studied law for one year only. In
Nos. 8, ro, 15, 16, 17, the credit is obtainable by preparing a written
report or essay, instead of passing an examination.
Registration for summer courses must be made between June I
and June 30. Examinations will be given in October, on dates
specially set.
The summer courses are recommended to ambitious and industrious students, who may not be obliged to occupy themselves at other
work, for three main reasons:
r. They put the student more at liberty to take, during the
regular school year, a larger number of those courses which can best
be pursued only in the class room under the lectures of an instructor,
and which might otherwise have to be omitted for lack of time.
2. They enlarge his learning as a lawyer in a number of subjects
which, though commonly not termed "practical," are becoming more
and more necessary for the lawyer who expects to take part in the
progressive movements of the day and the constructive legislation of
the future.
3. They furnish him with the groundwork for continuing his
personal studies on broader lines after graduation, and for avoiding
that degeneration into a mere mechanical practitioner which in after
years is for lawyers a most serious danger in both its civic and its
personal aspects.
The summer courses are not recommended merely as a method of
shortening the time required for graduation or for admission to the
bar, first, because to shorten that time is inadvisable, both for the
individual and for the profession; next, because the rules of the Illinois State Board of Bar Examiners require in any case three full
years of study; and, further, because the rules of the Association of
·
American Law Schools require three full years of study.
But the credits obtained may be reckoned on the number of credits
sufficient for graduation in this School, subject to all other rules
applicable.

Courses of Reading in Legal History, Legal Biography, Jurisprudence, and General Legal Literature
OBJECTS OF THESE COURSES
There are two chief benefits to be obtained from the work in
these courses of reading. (I) They help to expand the lawyer's view
in all legal matters, by giving him an acquaintance with the best
traditions of a great profession and the examples of his predecessors,
and a familiarity with the lawyer's science in its broadest relations.
( 2) They help to reach the final stage of independent legal thinking,
by cultivating the habit and skill of mastering the materials without
the artificial stimulus of a daily task under the instructor's oversight.
The student is therefore recommended to cast off frankly the spirit
of merely seeking credit for a measured task. These courses have
to be measured in units for school purposes; but he is urged not to
confine himself to the minimum amount of reading in each prescribed
subject, but to range through the material and to read as much as
he can in those selected subjects which most interest him. At the
same time he is expected not to let the freedom of range of choice
injure habits of accuracy, and is therefore held responsible for a
thorough acquaintance with the works presented for examination.
REGULATIONS FOR THE COURSES
I.
For graduation the regulations for Required Courses, on
page 35, apply here as follows: ( 1) A credit of not less than
Grade C, averaged for all five courses, must have been obtained in

credit in any two of the remaining five subjects enumerated on page
35 (par. 4) any of the reading courses C1, C2, or C3 may be substituted for the corresponding lecture courses.
2. A credit of one term hour will be given on passing the examination in each one of the above prescribed courses of reading, as
well as in the optional Courses BA1, BA2, BA3, CA1, and CA2.

Students are urged to do the required reading during the summer

Course A.
5. A student who has already obtained credit at a college or law
school for work equivalent to Courses Ci, C2, or C3, will be given

6. No lectures are given in any of these Courses, except Ci,
C2, C3, the lecture courses of Jurisprudence, Roman Law, and
International Law; the work is done by private study. But the
courses are under the general supervision of the Dean, who will give
any desired advice on the materials of study.
7. The credit in any of the Courses C will count as one of the
required ten term-hours of the Third Year.
