FORE-WORD by FRANK 0 . LOWDEN �FOREWORD FRANK 0. LOWDEN SINNISSIPPI FARM OREGON, ILLINOIS December 14, 1929 Dear Dean Green : I have read your paper called "The Law School's Part in the Development of Scientific Control of Government", with very great interest. Indeed, I was so impressed that I have read it a second time. I like your program. It seems to me a logical development of the great work Dean \,Vigmore has done so well -work that has brought great distinction to the Northwestern University Law School. If I read the signs of the times aright , the mo st significant trend of the present is an awakening interest in those fields of thought which have to do with the relations of men. The enormous progress of the material sciences has revolutionized the world. New and complex problems have therefore been created which society so far has not satisfactorily met. Many of our profoundest thinkers believe that we must apply to Law, to Economics, to Politics, and to the other social sciences, the methods by which material sciences have achieved such phenomenal results. In other words, they would substitute the laboratory method for a priori speculation. Just as science has produced our modern social problems, so, if we are to solve those problems, we must employ the same methods by which they were created. This, as I understand it, is the meaning of your program, and I am heartily in favor of it. vVith all good wishes for its success, I am, Very sincerely yours, (Signed) Frank 0. Lowden Dean Leon Green, Northwestern University School of Law, 357 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago, Illinois. �The Law School Development Program (The Law School's Part in the Development of Scientific Control of Government) By The Faculty of Northwestern University School of Law October 5, 1929 Approved by the President and Executive Committee of the Board of Trustees of the University �THE LAW SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM GENERAL FACTORS Government and business have definitely taken a turn from what may be called political methods to tho;;e of science. Their processes and relations to each other, ·if they ever were, are no longer so simple that every citizen understands them as a matter of course. The further we go the more devices are found necessary to deal with them. The study of these processes and relati6ns and the development of their controls necessarily focus in the use of that power we call law. If science has anything to contribue to human happiness, it must be here. But as Walter Lippman says, "The full realization of the place of science in modern life came slowly, and only in our generation aan it be said that political rulers, captains of industry and leaders of thought have actually begun to act upon that realization". N either government nor business has yet developed sources for supplying its scientists. The educational institutions of the country must meet the demands here as elsewhere. The particular problems involved definitely fall to schools of law and their allies in the social science field. This accounts for the tremendous expansion now taking place in law school programs, and the definite alliances which are being made by law schools with schools of commerce, government 1and medicine, and with all other graduate schools which have interests in common with it. ' There is a parallel for this development to be found in the growth of medical science in recent years. The same sort of thing which is now getting under way in law began in the medical world only a short time ago. First there were volunteer health societies with a few dim theories, then health boards, then scientific commissions, and then hospitals, clinics, and other activities, finally developing the superb medical schools as we know them today. Those who condemned such undertakings in medicine as fantastic were even more positive than the doubters who condemn like undertakings in governmental science. It will be noted that the medical school was the ultimate development, and the reason is clear. It was necessary to have an instrumentality for developing the scientists who were to carry on the extensive undertakings of that profession and its science. The instrumentalities which have been brought together for this purpose in the form of medical schools range from the simplest mechanical device to the most highly tnained expert. These, and everything in between, are essential to the training of the individuals who are to perform the numerous functions required by that science. Nothing less is required for the development of legal science if it is to supply the executives and advisers and numerous trained 4 �citizens of every sort, who have to do with government and business. The only difference probably will be that the plant and equipment for the law school can be provided at a relatively small cost, as compared with the extravagant laboratories and equipment required for the medical schools. In strength contributed to a university, none of its branches stand ahead of its law school. On the other hand, in support required for its .own successful development, probably no other branch is so dependent upon the university. This seeming paradox of excessive strength on one hand, and excessive weakness on the other, it not easily explained. A law school's strength lies in the power with which lawyers are entrusted. Directly and indirectly, they have a larger control of wealth and governmental processes than any other single group -a control out of all proportion to its numbers. No policy of any great significance in any of the numerous activities which people engage upon and which affect the general welfare can become operative until such policy hias won its day with the lawyer. The lawyer's power may be brought to bear as adviser, advocate, business executive, legislator, judge, mem1ber of a commission, or administrative officer. He is literally the trustee of all society. This ascendancy of power every s uccessful university has on its side. It is found in the fundamental organization of the institution. It is found in the promotion of the institution's standing in the popular imagination. It is found in the personnel of boards of trustees, and in suggestions made to clients who desire to make their bequests of lasting importance. It is found in the distribution of the wealth of lavryers themselves. Why have lawyers and their families been more generous in their support of educational institutions at large than of their own particular schools? The exceptions are notable: Mr. Sterling of Yale, Mr. Cook of Michigan, and Mrs. Levy Mayer and Judge Gary of Northwestern. Even Mr. Sterling's generous benefaction of some six million dollars was but a fraction of his fortune which was given to other educational enterprises. There are, of course, other lawyer benefactors of lesser magnitude. Why have law schools generally found it so much more difficult to obtain financial support than other schools? There are several answers. The first answer is to be found in the limited type of training which law schools have given their students. Lawyers who have reached the plane of large responsibility have frequently commented upon the small part the restricted instruction received in law schools played in their development. As a consequence, their broad and generous outlo9ks of later years find no great 5 �value in promoting the sort of training which they received. They are looking for more 'Significant ventures to support. The second answer is that law schools themselves have done little to expand their scope of training, other than to put legal doctrines upon sound historical bases. The predominate type of law school still adheres to a comparatively narrow instructional program. The third answer i'S that the few schools which have sought to broaden their horizons to meet the demands imposed upon the present day lawyer, have not been able to articulate their programs satisfactorily, so that lawyers and intelligent laymen could understand what is being proposed. Law schoof men generally are still perhaps as much bewildered as to what is taking place in legal education as are those whose faith must be depended upon to support the schools. But it is a healthy sign that leading law school men are up in arms against the short ranged program of the passing school. They are demanding a training more in keeping with the lawyer's functions. They are seeking to reclaim the-attention of those who long .ago outgrew the bounds of their early legal training, and with it all, an understandable program of objective'S is being evolved. Northwestern University Law School has been one of the two or three schools of the country longest interested in expanding the scope of the lawyer's training. Many of its experiments have been accepted widely. At the same time, its scholarship has been of the richest sort. Without abating the rigor of its insistence upon strictly legal training, it proposes to continue the broadening of its program in cultural interests; to continue to extend and strengthen its alliances with the fields of business, government, and other social sciences; to develop further its relations with the bar and governmental agencies of the community; and in every way possible to bring the lawyer's training into harmony with his every day duties. SCOPE OF THE PROGRAM In order to continue the school's development upon the broad foundations which have already been so painstakingly laid, the following program, which can only be briefly stated, is proposed: I. II. The Student Group. A. Limitation in Numbers. B. Tuition. C. Scholarships. D. Selective Methods. Increase in Faculty. A. Small Study Groups. 6 �B. Individual Work by Students. C. Realignment of Teaching Materials and Curriculum. (1) Groupings of Materials. (2) Endowed Foundations. ( 3) Supplementary Suggestions. D. Research and Experimental Organizations. III. IV. The Completion of the Physical Plant. A. Buildings. (1) Dormitories. (2) Extensions of the L·i brary Building. (3) Space for Research and Experimental Organizations. B. The Library Collection. Summary. A. Objectives. B. Financial Support. I. THE STUDENT GROUP A. Limitation in Numbers. All problems concerning the student group revolve about two ideas, namely, numbers and quality. The problem of numbers is not subject to accurate solution. Its solution must always be an adjustment between facilities, educational policies, and the cost of operating the institution. It has been determined tentatively that th e faci lities of th e present plant and the faculty as recruited to full strength will accommodate about four hundred students. ]'his number will be tried out. If too large, it can be reduced. If more students can be accommodated, the number can be increased. But the chances are that the number must be further limited, rather than increased. Again the medical people have led the way. Some of the most extravagantly equipped schools have limited their first year regi stration to as few as fifty. Probably law schools wiill never reduce their numbers so radically. But the idea at the bottom of such strict limitation is essentially that of apprenticeship, which as an effective teaching device has never been excelled, or perhaps equalled, by any other method. It means individual investigation and supervision. In order that a law teacher may give law students so'mething approaching adequate individual attention, the group must be relatively small. The investigations and paper work done by students in law school courses is equal in tediousness and time consumed to the laboratory methods of the physical sciences. Of almost equal import with indivlidual instruction and supervision are the advantages students gain from one another 7 �where the group is small enough to allow intimate contacts by students of the same grade of intelligence. They teach one another far more effectively than they are taught by class room instruction. Every consideration requires that the s•ize of classes be reduced as quickly as possible. B. Tuition. With a limited number of students, the question of tuition becomes a problem. There is no such thing as charging a student the full price of his training but here again an adjustment can be made which is not too exacting upon the student, and which at the same time reduces the deficit of the school. Measured by the standards of other good schools with larger student bodies and facilities not so good, the present tuition rate is too small. It should be raised as quickly as possible to at least $400.00, with due regard to students already in the school. It may be a question whether it should go to as much as $500.00. Students who are able to pay should p.ay. Those who can not pay and are desirable students should be aided financially. Scholarships. The increase in tuition would be largely offset by the increase in scholarships to. deserving students. Such scholarships should take various forms, ranging in amounts, and from outright subsidies to the best students, to mere temporary loans to others. Probably the usual arrangement would be a long-time loan, and for such an amount as would meet a substantial part of his expenses, at least all or part of the expenses of tuit,ion. While a student should not be paid to go to school, yet first rate ability is too valuable to be allowed to go to waste for want of the slight financial support required for the period of law school training. One of the functions of a university is to be on the outlook for exceptional ability, and to promote those who have it at any cost within reason. It is believed that a fund of $20,000 a year for a period of ten years, revolving in its nature, would in time adequately care for the general needs of this sort. C. D. Selective Methods. I To successfully limit numbers, there must be some method of selecting the group. The machinery required for selective purposes is not simple. There is no one acceptable scheme. Nor will there likely be such. Various devices are employed. The most reliable, used especially as checks upon each other, are as follows: 1. Prior to Entrance. a. Previous scholastic records. b. Personal interviews of applicants by members of the faculty. 8 �c. Intelligence tests. d. Strict records kept on the students who come from particular schools. e. Distribution geograph'ically and with reference to the strata of society. 2. After Entrance. a. Promotion of a limited number only, on the basis of the first year's record. The problem is partly one of preventing the unfit from entering, but also one of determining the most fit after a period of experimentation in legal studies. It is not one of foretelling just how each man admitted "'' ill rate at the end of his first year, or even at the end of his course. If the latter were the problem, it could never be even approximately solved, for there are always distressing failures, even among most promising students. If the failures can be reduced from year to year, the standing of the student group can be built up. The processes for dding this require time and experience and continued intelligent effort. Large steps can be taken during the first few years, but thereafter it is a question of very patient administrait:ion. The advantages to everyone concerned are obvious. The time and expense to the rejected student are saved to him or his family. The time of the faculty is saved for better students. The ·successful students are not subjected to the loss of time and breaches of morale which follow in the wake of unsuccessful students. The development of the school and its prestige are both accelerated by good students. There is no injustice done. No one is complaining of "too few" lawyers. The cry is always "too poor" lawyers. This School is committed to the policy of better students ·and better trained citizens and lawyers. II. INCREASE IN FACULTY It is in the increase in Resident Faculty that the departures of the suggested program are most marked. A. Small Study Groups. The limitation of students to four hundred does not eliminate large classes. The first-year classes still range around one hundred fifty . Some of the other classes reach more than one hundred. These classes are too large. Smaller sections are necessary. Dividing them into smaller sections requires more teachers. Thus have the faculties of all the schools who have sectionized their classes been increased. B. Individual Work by Students. ' As a natural outgrowth of smaller classes, students necessarily are led to attempt more individual investigation. Their 9 �studies become more interesting, and the problem is not one of meeting the requirements, but one of keeping up with the students' demands. These invesitigations take the form of papers and reports, which require both supervision and examination. Here, both study and teaching are at their best, and the added consumption of time on the part of both student and teacher is immediately reflected in the student's development. C. Realignment of Teaching Materials and Curriculum. The realignment of teaching materials and curriculum is probably the most important item of the whole program. What this shall be, no teacher can forecast. To set about it at all requires the greatest courage, and a determination to engage in the most painstaking work over a period of at least ten years, and more likely twenty. Some fifty years ago an alignment of materials was begun by the Harvard Law School professors. That alignment has been developed in detail at Harvard and elsewhere, and it still dominates legal study. It was made in the form of casebooks built on doctrinal classifications. In comparison 'with anything that went before, it proved a tremendous advance, and as a teaching instrumentality the case book, in some form, will probably never be supplanted. But the doctrinal classific.ation has proved narrow and misleading. It fails to develop the other important aspects of the jud!icial and other governmental processes, which are probably more significant than the legal doctrines themselves. There is universal protest against the lack of something in the doctrinal case book device, but there is no agreement that anyone has yet definitely located the trouble. It is here suggested that the trouble lies: (1) in the falilure to study the processes of government as a whole; (2) in the failure to relate them definitely to the world about, and particularly the world of business and related interests. To make such study will require the realignment of materials on the broadest scale, so that doctrines and rules and theories will be somewhat submerged, and other factors in the processes will be allowed to come to the surface. (1) Groupings of Materials. The following are possible comprehensive groupings of related matters under which materials could be aligned for teaching and other purposes. The subjects as now taught in various schools are listed (though not exhaustively) beneath each heading, to indicate roughly the sorts of materials which would fall under each. These subjects are fragmentary, and greatly overlap. Doubtless more comprehensive courses could be devised which would better relate the entire subject matter. Probably some of the subject matters would find a better place under other headings. 10 �GROUP I ,. GROUP II LAW ADMINISTRATION A.

The utmost flexibility will be found necessary. The total amount of endowment suggested for this purpose is $3,750,(X)(). The total number of the teaching staff suggested is twenty-four. This would give an average of some twenty students per teacher on a basis of a four hundred registration, and four courses per student. Obviously, this is a maximum for anything like good teaching. The amount of endowment indicated is conservative. At some of the other law schools, endowments for professorships run from $250,(X)() to $300,(X)(). In our own case, the proceeds from tuition will have to be relied upon to make such adjustments as may be required from time to time. Needless to say, there are few other forms of endowments so fruitful as that of man power. The assurance which the endowment of a faculty of twenty-four persons for an indefinite duration of time would give the legal profession and the country at large in this institution and the successful execution of its plans, would do more to insure the success of the school than any other factor. Probably such forms of endowment have been the least attractive to benefactors. This can only be understood on the basis that permanent organization of scientific undertakings is a comparatively recent development and ha:s never been properly evaluated. As we conceive, there is no way to exaggerate the importance of this part of the suggested program. It will be noted that the divisions of subject matter suggested are each important, and are certain to remain so as long as there is an organized society. These divisions are elastic enough to accommodate any turn that government or business may take. It is belie'ved that the name given each heading will be readily understood by those who may be interested in such matters. ' (3) Supplementary Suggestions A supplementary program which would probably prove more attractive from the standpoint of endowments than the more formal one here suggested, and which would permit a similar development, but in a somewhat different form, is also suggested. It is believed that there are citizens of wealth and vision whose ideas coincide in large part with the foregoing statements. They would doubtless be interested enough to endow a professorship in some narrower line which could be fitted into the general program. The following subjects are suggested as peculiarly appropriate for such purposes, inasmuch as they vitally affect large business and social interests which are sub16 �jected to severe governmental controls. The solution of their relations depends upon scientific treatment: INSURANCE GENERAL BANKING INVESTMENT BANKING CORPORATE ORGANIZATION AND FINANCE TRANSPORATION INTERNATIONAL CREDITS AND MARKETING INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS TRUSTS REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT PUBLIC UTILITIES ARBITRATION CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES COOPERATIVE AND SUBSIDIZED AGRICULTURAL MARKETING FAMILY LAW An endowed professorship for the study and teaching of any considerable number of these subjects would contribute more to their solution than any other method which could be adopted. It would insure gathering of the best thought as might be found in the form of literatu11e, and would subject to impartial analysis over a continuous period the factors which enter into such enterprises of the modern business world. Furthermore, it would give the enterprises of the country a source of supply of legally trained men who could be brought into their service already understanding their problems. Certainly nothing would so attract, the eyes of the professional world , both legal and business, to this law school and university. D. Res,earch and Experimental Organizations. The fostering of research and experimental organizations is rapidly becoming one of the chief concerns of every leading law school. Their value has been demonstrated time and time again. This school is benefiting in the way of prestige and scholar1ship as much as any other school from efforts along this line. The three outstanding publications of the profession of this section have been fostered in this institution, viz. Illinois Law Review, The Journal of Crimin'al Law and Criminology, and the American Judicature Society Journal. The Illinois Law Relview is one of the high class legal perfodicals of the country'. The plan permitting the association of the two other leading law schools of the State in its publication was a happy one. Th.e Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology is the only one of its kind published in the English language. Its standards have given the school wide acceptance in foreign countries. It has steadily promoted the interest in criminal law administration in this country, and is gaining a constantly widening field of influence. The American Judicature Society Journal is probably the most 17 �widely read legal publication jn this country, and has doubtless done more for moderniz,i ng the administration of law than any other similar agency. There can be no estimate placed upon its value. All of these enterprises encourage scholarship on the part of faculty members, students and members of the pro£ession at large, to say nothing of the impetus they give to the readjustment of legal processes by legislatures and courts. They give an outlet for much talent that would otherwise find no market. They are essential to the program of the school. They have already seen their pioneer days. They are well established in every way except financially. Funds are badly needed, especially for the two last named. A $50,000 endowment for the Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, and a $100,000 endowment for the American Judicature Society Journal would place them in a position of extending their services probably ten to twenty fold. The additional strength they would gain from such permanent financial backing would develop very rapidly. In addition to these publications, the moment the school gets under way with any such program as here indicated, the necessity for a publication fund for small books and temporary editions of materials will be very great. The returns from such publications usually meet their cost, but give no profit; thus. publishers are not interested in them. A revolving fund of $50,000 should meet this demand. The income from such part as is not in use would probably offset the small losses incurred from time to time. The direction of such organizations as the Air Law Institute, the Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory, and the Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology, must be encouraged. The financial support for such enterprises will of course come from foundations or groups of interested citizens. It is enough that the school furnish housing facilities and supervision for the development of the progriams of such enterprises. It is believed that the utilization of such methods for making special investigations of various sorts has just begun. They are but another indication of the attempts being made to deal scientifically with .t he problems of government and business. The Legal Clinic has all the possibilities of the Medical Clinic. It combines training of young lawyers, both in peacefully adjusting and in litigating claims, which a much needed service to those who are not able to command first rate legal talent. It gives to the student a feeling of actuality and dignity which can not be obtained in dealing with simulated pmctice cases. It assists the courts where they find it hardest to function with promptness and precision. Its success lies in the competency of its direction and the extent of its activities. 18 I �It should be operated on a basis which would enable a fair showing to be made. It would seem to be capable of very great development. It aan well use $15,000 to $20,000 per year from the very beginning. III. THE COMPLETION OF THE PHYSICAL PLANT A. Building. ( 1) Dormitories. The plant so far as developed is as well adapted to law school needs as could be imagined. It is the result of a long period of study, and comes more nearly providing for all the needs of faculty and student than any other plant in the country, but it is still incomplete. First, the lack of dormitories, for say fifty to sixty per cent of the student group, is a drawback which cian not well be exaggeraited. Probably two to four hours per s1tudent per day are lost through the want of quarters adjacent to the plant. At present the benefits of the library, except during the day, are lost. The advantages which comes from ,t he close association of students can not be found other than in dormitory quarters. A dormitory quadrangle immediately east of the present plant and proposed extension of the Library building would be of the greatest value •to the school and to the whole institution. The building would probably cost $400,000. The rentals should be adequate to its maintenance. This topic will be more fully developed at an early date. (2) and (3) The Library Building. The Library building is only adequate for the present library collection of books. W 1ith anything like moderate support for the library collection, the library space would have to be doubled, say with a period of ten years. It can be extended to the south, with wings to the east, and with a building similar in design parallel -to the present building, fronting on Chicago A venue. A small quadrangle would give -both light and ventilation to the complete library plant. The extension along Chicago Avenue would be permanently used for additional offices and instructional work. The organizations now housed in the Levy Mayer Building would be moved to quarters :adjacent to the Library. Inasmuch as each of these organizations requires its own special library, it would be very advantageous to have them quartered so that their collections ,of books would be available as part of the whole library system. Other parts of the library building should be so arranged that they can be used by graduate students, and others who are engaged upon special investigations. With the increasing -demand on the part of foundations and groups of citizens upon institutions like this law school, for space and for supervision of projects looking to the general welfare of the commuity 19 �and the nation, it is an easy guess that all the space afforded by the additional building program suggested would be put to use as soon as available, and would be constantly kept in use pending the additions to be made to the library collection. B. The Library Collection. The library collection of books as it is now housed fo the Elbert H. Gary Library of Law, is indeed a choice one. It is distinctly an aggregaite of collections, rather than a complete library. If there were ever any doubt about the value of having at hand the knowledge of the institutions of other countries, the demand of the commercial interests of the community, together with the advances recently made i'J transporation and communication, have removed such doubt forever. All the funds which can be found will be required to continue the building of these collections. But to continue the building up of a library along this line requires the services of experts who knO'W, how to select. They could also be utilized in the various divisions already outlined, for instructional purposes. We estimate the needs of the library, conservatively, at $50,000 a year, of which amount probably $40,000 would go into books and $10,000 into man power. In this way the library could not only be developed intelligently, but it could be developed at the least expense. Thi s would be preferable to spending a large amount of money in a short time in an attempt to make a complete collection of everything that might pertain to the subject of law. It need not be stated in this connection that a library is the first essential of legal scholarship. A law school simply can not get along without it. It is the one thing that all people interested in law schools fully agree upon. There is nothing about such an institution which increia.ses in value so rapidly, arid which is more enduring. Before it beoomes too huge, it ought to be so ordered that it can be available with the least expense. There is no more urgent need about the School than the i~mediate taking in hand of the very remarkable c9llection of books which the School now has. Every day of delay means a larger expense when the job is undertaken. IV. SUMMARY Objectives. Our objectives can be briefly summarized as follows: I. To develop a student body in size and quality as will give to its members the maximum training and development possible in law school, to the end that the institutions of society which use lawyers may have good ones. II. To develop a faculty composed of able lawyers, scholars and teachers, who are sufficient in number for the instruction demanded by students, and for undertaking the realignment and 20 A. �publication of legal subject matter from the standpoint of the needs and problems of the present day for the purpose of affording the basis for the broadest training of young .lawyers and teachers, and for the use of the profession at large. III. The completion of the present superb plant by the extensions and additions to .the library building for the collection of legal literature, the accommodation of graduate students, offices for additional members of the faculty, and the housing of the special organizations of research and publication which the school has already fostered and will foster. IV. The building of dormitories for say two hundred and fifty students, to the end that as a group they may have the added benefit of close association, and the facilities of the library and plant continuously. V. To complete, keep up to date, and arrange the splendid collection of legal literature which the school has as a gift of one of its generous benefactors and friends. VI. To give to Chicago and Northwestern University and their community the advantages to come from the best developed law school in the country. VIL To give to government and business (society at large) whaitever contributions toward the solution of their problems and the furthering of their interests that the science of law can be made to give. B. Financial Support. In terms of financial support, stated in terms of endowment, the objectives are as foUows: $ 200,000 I. Student Loan Fund - 3,750,000 II. Endowment of P11ofessorships 150,000 III. Endowment of Publications 50,000 IV. Revolving Publication Fund Library: V. 1,000,000 a. Books ( collection and maintenance) 500,000 b. Extension of present building 400,000 c. Maintenance Fund for library building 400,000 VI. Dormitories TOTAL $ 6,450,000 The amounts stated are moderate. They are stated in terms of indefinite duration. Comparatively speaking, no other institution which has anything like so large a part to play in human aotivities can be so inexpensively capitalized and operated. Our objectives reach far beyond courthouses and legislatures. They 21 �involve every interest of organized society. In the hands of incompetent administrators government has too often proved the enemy of the very interests it should support. No one knows what a well supported law school devoted to a comprehensive program as here outlined, could contribute toward adjusting the relations of government and business, for it has never been attempted. But it is our belief that legal science is still in its early stages, and that is has all the potentialities of science in other fields, where its methods and contributions are no longer questioned. Our own School and University, situated 'in this vast region of natural resources, business enterprises, and population, have no other alternative than to take the lead in attempting to subject governmental processes to scientific control. A. GENERAL SUMMARY The Field. (1) A populous, weathly, vigorous and intelligent society. (2) Business, industry and institutional life on the largest scale ever known to man, conducted with all the aids that the ever expanding physical sciences can give. (3) Governmental organization and legal processes archaic, overloaded, inadequate. B. The Problem. To bring to the organization and processes of government the same scientific methods which now support and protect the otherwise general high social order. Such methods must provide preventives against harms to citizens and their interests, as well as prompt and not too expensive agencies for adjusting the hurts incident to a vigorous society. The former will require the overhauling of basic policies and the development of a more responsible machinery for political control, the latter a better organized and more intelligently manned police system, together with a more highly co-ordinated system of courts and procedural devices. Both will require more emphasis upon personnel and less upon the enactments of rules of law. C. , The Responsibility for Scientific Treatment. There can be no science without scientists. Scientists are trained by severe study and discipline. The formal professional training of governmental scientists under the modern method of organized education falls to schools of law. The arbitrary divisions ,o f the social science field found in the undergraduate college under the heads of Government, Economics, History, etc. come to a focus in the graduate School of Law where the problems of business and social interests are examined from the standpoint of governmental control and adjustment-the subject matter of the science of law. 22 �The ultimate stability of all human activities depends upon the development of an adequate science of law. This development can not be found.in the customs and rules and governmental processes of the days of Coke and Blackstone, nor even those of Greenleaf, Story, and Cooley. When business and institutional life generally undergo such radical changes as have taken place within the past half century, government and law must follow. The fact that today the great majority of law schools are still training men as though such changes had not taken place, is distressing; so much so that the development of strong schools of law equipped to handle social problems as the medical school is doing in the field of health is the next great step in the realm of science. The gap between the social sciences and the physical sciences must be closed. D. The Process for Scientific Training. The process for scientific training will be found to be based upon a combination of the following ideas, most of which have been fully sustained by long experience. (1) The dominant idea of close association and group study so highly developed in the English Inns of Court. (2) The apprenticeship idea of the office training era with the close personal contact between a lawyer and his clerk is brought over to the teacher and his closely directed and supervised small student group. (3) The idea also taken from the office training era which focussed the study and training of the apprentice upon -actual litigations and business problems of current validity. It may be noted that this factor probably accounts for the strong fiber of practicality and the rational basis for passing judgment which characterized so many American lawyers in the recent past. ( 4) Th e later case-book development with its severe discipline in analysis to be given first-year students, followed by independent investigation, analysis and clinical experience during the second and third years with increasing intensity. In this it is sought to develop in the later years of the student's training the precision, the independence of judgment, and the broader understanding which come to the case book maker as opposed to the case book student, and which also in somewhat less degree come to the law clerk during hi s first few years in the modern law office. ( 5) The recognition that government and business have in large measure both broken away from the processes of the court house and that th ey a re more and more 23 �making use of numerous other agencies ranging from the commission in its multiple forms, the devices set up by particular business groups as arbitration, to the constantly increasing volume of the very practical agencies of the law office itself. In all of these ideas the collegiate mapping of the fields of learning into distinct compartments, as history, government, economics, philosophy, law, etc., is ignored, and the compass of study is enlarged to include the whole of the processes employed to control the conduct of men and to adju st their interests in their multiple relations found in government and business.

Northwestern University Bulletin is published weekly during the academic year at Chicago, Illinois . Entered as Second Class Matter N ovember 21, 1913, at the P ostoffice at Chicago, Illinois, under Act of Congress of Aug ust 24, 1912. Accepted for mailing at special rates of postage provided for in Section 1103, Act of October 3, 1917, authorized on June 14, 1918. Published by Northwestern University, Northwestern University Bldg., Chicago LAW SCHOOL Owing to the absence of the Dean of the Law School on national service no reports were printed for 1917-18 and 1918-19. The followin 6 extracts from these reports are here printed as of special interest. Reprinted November 1922, for distribution to Alumni of the Law School From the Report of the Dean of the Law School, 1917-18. The effect of the war was seen in the depletion of the numbers of faculty and students, and in the postponement of the new rules for entrance, as already noted. The spirit of the School was enthusiastically loyal to the Great Cause of the War. Nearly every student made effort to enter the Officers Training Camps of May and August, 1917, and-large numbers were accepted. Many of those who had not the good fortune to enter the Officers' Camp of May, 1917, took prompter measures in their impatience, to get to the battlefields of France, and entered the Ambulance Corps Units that were going over immediately, or enlisted as privates in the Regular Army or the Marine Corps. The total numbers in military service, as far as ascertainable, were as follows, shown to Law School status, and according to branches of service : 1.

Data as to the whole number and the ranks finally reached are not yet completely available; but there were many promotions, and the numbers for the higher ranks, given in the above Table, are too low.

Lawrie, '17, the women �DEAN'S REPORT 3 students donated the sum required for obtaining a large service flag, bearing the service-stars for students and alumni; and this flag was displayed in the School premises during the continuance of the war. (d) .The deaths in service numbered eight. The names of those who gave their lives will be suitably recorded in permanent manner in the new School Building: Thomas C. L'))ons, '12 Martin L. Collins, ex. • 18 R. T. Munzer, '14 Jasper]. Ffrench, '14 F. P. Navigato, 'JO Benj. Wohl, ex. '18 Lawrence Wolpert, •17 A. R. M esselheiser, •I 6 ( e) The number of awards of merit to those in service has not yet been accurately ascertained. There were many wound-stripes; Capt. Frank S. Stratton, 'OS, of the Cavalry, is said to have been the first American Cavalryman wounded in action. 2. The Alumni News Letter, edited by Miss Mary E. Goodhue, of the office staff, was a unique feature of service to the men in camp and at the front. The well-known devotion of Miss Goodhue to the welfare of the student-body has ever commanded their unbounded confidence and admiration. Their personal letters kept her advised of all happenings amidst the stirring and novel events of their military experience. Seventeen issues were prepared, between August, 1917, and December, 1918, and were circulated in mimeograph to all in the service. The arrival of the News Letter was a cheering event in every quarter, from Camp Kearney to the Argonne; and its personal chronicles kept alive the Northwestern spirit in all branches of the service. To judge from the news items in the letters, Northwestern men were meeting each other constantly in every field of war activity. This News Letter should be printed and sent to all alumni as a permanent memorial of Northwestern University Law School annals of the war. A donation for the purpose would be welcome. 3. The Faculty contributed active war service in branches of work other than directly military. The Selective Service system was the natural field for professional legal skill, and all resident members offered their service in the selective draft boards and its auxiliary staffs. As members of legal advisory boards, their arduous service was highly valued. The �4 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL American Protective Association, the Four-Minute Men, the American Red Cross, and other organizations also received active assistance in their Chicago branches from various members of the Faculty. Others joined the staff of the National Council of Defense, the United States Treasury, the United States Shipping Board, and other Bureaus in Washington. Respectfully submitted, JOHN H. \VIGMORE, Dean. From the Report of the Dean of the Law School 1918- 19. THE STUDENTS' ARMY TRAINING CORPS In the President's Report for 1917-19, the following con- clusions are given a place: "It can scarcely be said that the Students' Army Training Corps was a marked success from the point of view either of the Army or of the University. * * * The experiment, however, should not be condemned, as it grew out of a war necessity and was very hastily developed." 1. There is, however, a very different experience and conviction held by some members of the Faculty, and the University annals should bear record to that conviction also. It may be summarized as follows: The Students' Army Training Corps was a complete success in producing two results vital to military and to civic interests, and it was invaluable in its contribution to three other important elements, viz.: (1) From the military point of view of preserving the independence of our Nation, the S. A. T. C. provided a rese:-voir of more than 25,000 trained officer-material, necessary to officer the new 2,000,000 army which was to assist in the 1919 spring offensive, and impossible to provide so rapidly in any other way; and this result ,vas precisely the one aimed at by the General Staff and the War Department Education Committee in organizing the Corps. (2) From the civic point of view, viz., the preservation of the institutions of higher education, the S. A. T. C. saved more than 500 educational institutions from being disorganized by the second draft, which was due to take all men of ages 18-20 before June, 1919; had the Corps not been installed in those institutions, the faculties of the vast majority would • �DEAN'S REPORT 5 have been disbanded by October, 1918, the revenues for the year would have been depleted, and more than half of the institutions would have become insolvent. (3) From the point of view of the student-body, it saved nearly a year in the completion of the education of nearly 150,000 young men; for they would all have entered cantonments at some period between October, 1918, and June, 1919, and the suspended institutions would not have been ready to receive them again until September, 1919; whereas the net actual loss of time did not exceed three months for any of them, and the great majority lost no time at all. (4) From the point of view, again, of student welfare, the three months of the Corps contributed a unique experience of discipline in education which could never have fallen to their lot otherwise; and this tradition will never lose its moral value in the lives of those who enjoyed the privilege. ~5) From the point of view of educational method, the contrast of military and civic methods, side by side, furnished a unique experience of great value; and American higher education can never cease to be thankful for the lessons to be drawn from that brief but emphatic experience. In the first two features, therefore, viz., the assistance in assuring that military victory which saved the nation, and the assistance in rescuing the country's universities and colleges from disastrous disruption, the Students' Army Training Corps was a complete success. The first feature was the precise and only one aimed at by the War Department; that aim was achieved. The second feature, though not aimed at, was foreseen by all who understood the educational situation in the summer of 1918; the escape from disaster was so significant for the educational authorities that it can never be anything but the subject of thankfulness; and that escape was due solely to the organization of the Corps within the institutions. The interference of the Corps with the normal college studies and customs was a trifling price to pay for these extraordinary benefits. Some such loss was a foregone conclusion; and any criticisms based upon it are, therefore, beside the point. The imperfect operation of the Corps itself, in various details, large and small, is another matter, legitimately open to discussion. But the only matter of surprise here is that the �6 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL Corps could have been organized and operated at all, under the circumstances. The time limit was so short that the actual measure of achievement is next to incredible. The circumstances attending the Corps demonstrate this. But they are not known or appreciated in most University circles. As the Dean of this Law School, by virtue of membership in the War Department Committee on Education and Special Training, was in a position to know the inner circumstances, a brief summary of them is here worth while. Summarized, the salient features of the situation were (1) that the new draft law, taking in the ages 18-20, and thus destined to send to camp virtually the entire body of ablebodied male college students between October, 1918, and June, 1919, was not enacted by Congress till August 30, 1918; (2) that this change from the status of voluntary enlistment to compulsory draft affected all the important and complex details of military organization; and (3) that, therefore, no plans could possibly be fixed, or even announced by the War Departm6'.nt, until the end of August, 1918; thus leaving only 30 days for effecting the organization of 140,000 students, with over 3,000 officers, at over 500 institutions, subject to 4,500 draft boards, including the arrangements for curriculum, finance, equipment, housing, discipline, induction, and mobilization. The situation had begun to develop in March, 1918. By April, 1918, with the German drive begun, and the monthly shipment of American soldiers suddenly raised from 100,000 to 300,000, the prospect of new levies, probably 2,000,000 or more, loomed in the near future. The officers needed for the new levies would be at least 100,000. Nothing like that number was in sight as available, within the time limits, from ordinary cantonment training. Where could the deficit be made up? Where could 50,000 officer-material be found and trained in the elements? Of course, reflection showed that there was one place, viz., the colleges. In the colleges was available housing and feeding; there on hand were teachers of mathematics and other needful subjects. What was lacking was military instruction and discipline; and this must be specially supplied in any event. It was, therefore, resolved to plan to use this source of supply. Estimating 100,000 as the minimum attendance and 200,000 as the maximum, for 1918-1919, and figuring on �DEAN'S REPORT 7 25 per cent as the ratio of first-class material emerging therefrom, this would proyide a reservoir of 25,000-50,000 officermaterial,-a welcome amount, possibly enough to supply the pressing need. But would the colleges agree to take part? There was every reason to suppose so. Several hundred colleges had applied for volunteer units immediately upon anno uncement of the original plan early in July. The young men of 18-20, not liable to draft, could enlist, and were already becoming restive. A military training, installed in the colleges as a reservoir for new officers, would attract them as volunteers. Two or three large universities were already armed camps of this sort, by volunteer efforts. Many other institutions had indicated their approval of the measure. Accordingly, in May-June, plans were prepared by the Committee and approved by the General Staff. But, meanwhile, in the rush of military events, it became plain to the military authorities that the Selective Service Act of 1917 would not produce the needed levies, unless the ages 21-30 were much enlarged. A bill to enlarge the ages was introduced in Congress in the first week of August. But should the ages be extended downward to include ages 18-20? This would depend on the total number needed and the total probable yield from each age. The total number of men required was at least 2,000,000. The estimates of ageyields reached 2,300,000, if ages 18-20 were included, but not otherwise. The memorandum on this subject by the Chief of Staff was laid before the Secretary of War on July 28. 1 The age limits were debated by Congress during August, and there was much opposition to the inclusion of the younger ages. Upon Congress' deci sion depended the whole plan of the Committee. No settlement was possible prior to that decision. Enlistment of men within draft ages had been prohibited already. Hence, if the 18-20 ages were included by Congres~ in the new law, all college students would be within the draft and liable to call before or by June, 1919. Therefore, either a special draft exemption must be provided for the college S. A. T. C., or its members must be inducted subject to the draft and as a part of the draft contingent. The first alternative was unthinkable; because both Congress and the War Department, correctly gauging public opinion, would never 1. The calculations were drafted by the writer of this report. �8 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL consent to a privileged status for college students, relieving them from the normal incidence of the selective draft. The second alternative, however, would require an entire re-casting of the S. A. T. C. organization, which had been thus far planned on a volunteer basis, under the Act of 1917. The political impossibility, above alluded to, of giving the college S. A . .T. C. the usual draft exemption accorded to ordinary voluntary enlistments, has perhaps not been fully realized by college authorities, and has still a lesson for us. The widespread popular notion, constantly revealed in Congress and in high army circles also, was that the S. A. T. C. plans based on voluntary enlistment of men within draft ages, would import special privilege for the sons of rich men, putatively including many slackers. This popular notion of colleges as the pampered gathering-places of rich youths is very extensive, and very obstinate. It almost defeated the S. A. T. C. plans, and for a time blocked their progress. College authorities, well aware of the dominant element of self-supporting youths in every institution, are accustomed to assume that the great public is equally aware of the fact. But the experience of the War Department Committee shows that public opinion is yet far from full enlightenment in this respect. If, there• fore, the draft should reach down to ages 18-20, it was inevitable that the S. A. T. C. must eliminate every feature of privileged exemption from the draft. By the last week in August, it became certain that the ages 18-20 would be included in the new draft law. The S. A. T. C. plans were, therefore, shifted to meet the new require·· ment. Registration day was to be September 12. All the complicated operations of the local boards, involving registration, questionnaires, classification, physical examination, induction, and mobilization, must, therefore, take place during the two weeks ensuing; and a special set of forms must be devised and distributed to the boards, the colleges, and the military officers. All arrangements appropriate to the status of students as soldiers in active service must be perfected; and here the various fixed requirements of statute and army regulations must be conformed to, by special devices. For example, the law as interpreted by the Federal Supreme Court and the Judge Advocate General's office, forbade the use of either the furlough status or the reserve status, and hence the student soldiers must be placed on an active and pay status; �DEAN'S REPORT 9 this feature alone, besides involving some additional millions of expense, added many complications of documentary formality. Equipment for fall and winter weather must be provided; and this requirement called for clothing, blankets, bedding, and arms, at precisely the moment when General Pershing was pressing the War Department for all available supplies to equip the Expeditionary Force, whose numbers arriving in France were now leaping to the figure of 300,000 monthly. Barracks and mess halls must be provided and a system of accounts installed for an expenditure of nearly $200,000,000. Last, but not least, 3,000 military instructors must be found and sent to their stations. Suffice it to note, once more, not only that these arrangements were novel in their problems, but that there remained only five or six weeks in which to work them out and put them into effect, and to communicate the system to 4,500 selective service boards, to 600 college authorities, and to 3,000 military officers. As a culminating obstacle, the influenza epidemic, sweeping the country in September, interposed delay at every point. That the system thus suddenly devised and installed worked defectively in some details and in some institutions was to be expected. The surprising circumstance is that, by October 1, it worked as well as it did. If the normal college curriculum and routine suffered inroads, this was deliberately foreseen and intended. The sole object of the Committee was to help win the war by providing necessary officer material, for the spring of 1919, through the use of the college quarters, personnel, and student-body. If anything at all was to remain of the normal civic curriculum, that was simply so much incidental gain, to be thankful for, from the college civic point of view. Many college authorities, especially many professors, naturally regretted this interference with normal methods. This state of mind led them also to judge severely the shortcomings of detail here and there in the operation of the system. Unaware as they were of the actual military necessities, and of the obstacles that had caused first delay and then haste, and removed as they were from the center of military anxiety and effort, this judgment was doubtless natural enough. Moreover, the explanations which might have placated this sentiment could not be made by the Committee freely to the college authorities in general, because full disclosure of reasons would �10 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL have violated both military policy in the face of the enemy, and ordinary diplomacy affecting the relations with other branches of the War Department and with Congress. But the personnel of the Committee, if not the general <!xigency of the war situation, might well have sufficed (and did in most cases suffice) to produce faith in the intentions and methods of the Committee. Only one of the three military members of the Committee was an officer of the Regular Army; of the Civilian Advisory Board, the chairman was a former professor of physics, and the executive secretary was a professor of philosophy, while the special staff organized for the collegiate branch of the S. A. T. C. had for its director a University president. It was certain that the S. A. T. C. organization, though dominated by the one purpose to provide competent military officer material, would be framed upon an intelligent and sympathetic understanding of college conditions, and would do all that was possible to preserve them from needless disruption. The Committee had reason to believe that all college authorities, could they have been placed in the Committee's situation, would have given full approval to all the steps that were taken, and would have accepted as inevitable and inconsiderable the shortcomings of operation that attended the execution of the great purpose. The military purpose was entirely achieved. And looking back at the principal result to the colleges, viz., the escape from an impending crisis of suspension and insolvency, it must also be maintained that the Students' Army Training Corps was, from the college point of view, a marked success. Respectfully submitted, JOHN H. WIGMORE, Dean. �DEAN'S 11 REPORT Report of the Dean of the Law School, 1919-20. To the President of the Universil}): Herewith I lay before you my Annual Report as Dean of the Faculty of Law for 1919-1920. THE FACULTY The total number of persons attached to the Faculty of Law during the.year was 36. (See Table A.) THE STUDENTS The total number of students registered for the year 19191920 was 279. (See Table B.) The increase in the number of third-year students is due to the numerous men returning from military service to complete their law studies. It is remarkable, and contrary to all expectations, that thus far not a single student has been heard of who went into military service who failed to resume his law studies upon his discharge; and only one or two of those have been known to transfer to another school. The relatively small increase in the number of first-year students is due to the application in September, 1919, of the new requirements for entrance and graduation, three years of college study for entrance and four years of law study for graduation. The entrance requirements applied only to those who had not commenced the study of law at this or another institution prior to September, 1919. The number thus qualifying under the new requirements was 26 (including 3 "exceptional" students); the number in the first-year class who were entitled to join it without thus qualifying was 58. The total number of women students was 16. (See Table C.) The entrance preparation of the students (regular and special) is shown in Table E at the end of the report. In order to exhibit the application of the new entrance requirements to the successive classes, the entrance preparation will hereafter be shown under the following headings: TABLE EE 1919-20 College Credit Class 4 Yra. 3 Yrs.

In that class there were 23 persons so qualified. Of the remainder, 61 in all, 20 had one or two years of college credit, and 41 were High School graduates. Of this number, three were admitted under the rules as "exceptional'' students, by special vote of the Faculty. The remainder, 58, had already matriculated prior to September 1, 1919, and were mostly young men returning at various times from military service. The number of degrees conferred at Commencement is shown in Table F. THE CURRICULUM The four-J}ear course of required studies for the first law degree went into effect in September, 1919, for the first-year class only. The remaining classes continued on the former schedule of offerings and requirements. There will be a period of transition in which neither schedule will be in full effect. An exposition of the scheme of the four-year course may, therefore, be postponed for a subsequent report. Suffice it here to say that the four-year course is now receiving the consideration of a Committee of the Association of American Law Schools, due to report at the next annual meeting, and that other schools are destined very soon to adopt it. The only innovation thus far involved in the first year of the four-year curriculum is a course in General Survey, designed to lay a foundation of general information for all beginning law students. Another innovation, involved in the program for the third and fourth years of the four-year curriculum, is the requirement of a Legal Clinic. This was voted by the Faculty to take effect for all third-year students in 1919-1920. This measure, already advocated in many quarters, has thus been first applied in this School as a requirement. The testimony of all concerned is an endorsement of its success. A pamphlet showing its operation is printed for the School. The enlargement of the Legal Clinic by placing it on a graduate footing is one of the prime objects for which an Endowment Fund is needed. Another new course was a series of lectures on The League of Nations (International Constitutional Law) by Mr. Caldwell, open to members of the bar. The course was well given and well attended. �DEAN'S REPORT 13 A summer quarter of instruction was given, for the first time in the history of the School, in 1919. The reason was the propriety and necessity of enabling the men returning from war service to complete their law studies as soon as possible. The attendance numbered 130. The Faculty was composed of some of the regular staff of resident professors and lecturers, with the addition of Judge Homer B. Di bell, as already noted. In view of the adoption of the four-year curriculum, th,~ Faculty has taken it for granted that a summer quarter will hereafter be a regular feature, so that industrious aspirants to the profession may reduce their time of preparation to three calendar years, by taking three summer quarters, with only a month of intermission each year. As a provisional step, it was voted to hold a summer course of ten weeks in 1920. ENDOWMENT AND BUILDING FUND CAMPAIGN The plans for an Endowment and Building Fund, initiated by a Joint Faculties Committee in 1916-1917, and providing for concentration of the four Chicago professional Schools on a near North Side Campus, were resumed by the Board of Trustees in May, 1919. An option was secured on the Farwell-Fairbank property on Chicago Avenue and Lake Shore Drive. The Law School Alumni, realizing the need of early organization for the purpose, formed a General Committee in June, 1919. During the summer and fall, Class Committees for Chicago and State and District Committees for Illinois and other States were developed. In November a quiet campaign of solicitation was begun. The objective was a minimum of $1,500,000, to cover building and endowment. .The sum of approximately $200,000, from 500 alumni, was subscribed in this first stage of the quest. It remains to secure the greater part of the remainder by a few large subscriptions. The enterprise has commanded unanimous approval from the Alumni, and the zeal of scores of the Committee members in giving personal service is a revelation of loyalty which must gratify the University. The sacrifice represented by the numerous subscriptions of relatively small amounts are a splendid token of the devotion of those alumni to the high interests of the School and of their profession. �14 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL PROFESSIONAL OFFICES FILLED In my Annual Report of some six years ago, I compiled a list of the various professional committees or other responsible offices in which the members of our Faculty were rendering gratuitous public service. The list was intended to exhibit the variety of public service in professional and semi-professional field s, for which a call is legitimately made upon the members of a law fac ulty, and the extent to which our Faculty does receive and respond to such a demand. As that list is now obsolete, I present herewith a list (which is certainly not complete) of the committees and other offices in which the various members of our Faculty were rendering public service involving their professional skill and attainments during the past year: American Association of Universil)) Professors: Committee on University Ethics, the chairman. Amerioan Bar Association: Comparative Law Bureau, Board of Managers, one member. American Field Service Fellowships in French Universities: Committee on Nomination of Fellows, the chairman. American lnstilule of Criminal Law and Criminolog)): Executive Board, the chairman and two members. Editorial Board, three associate editors. Research Committees, two members and a chairman. Publications Committee, one member. American Judicalure Societ)): Board of Directors, three members, . and the secretary. Association of American Law Schools: Committee on Civil Procedure, two members. Committee on Legal Histo ry, the chairman. Committee on L egal Philosophy, the chairman and one member. Central Howard Association: Board of Advisers, one member. Chicago Association of Commerce: Committee on Education, one member.

THE FACULTY The total number of persons attached to the Faculty of Law during the year was 38. (See Table A.) Professor Greeley was on leave of absence during the first semester, owing to a serious illness from which he was obliged to go to California to recuperate. His course in Conveyancing was given by Mr. Abraham J. Hennings, LL.B., '12, of the law firm of Hennings and Thulin, legal advisers to Messrs. Peabody, Houghteling & Co.; to Mr. Hennings' loyal and able service in taking Professor Greeley's place the University is deeply indebted. The arrangement made last year, by which Professor Hyde's courses were to be given jointly by himself and Associate Professor 'vVatson, was duly carried out, with general satisfaction, Professor Hyde coming from Washington, for two periods of three weeks each, to deliver his part of the lectures. Professor Hyde's treatise on American International Law, the fruit of some twenty years of toil, is now going through the press, and promises to be accepted as the standard American treatise in that field. Professor Lew Sarett, of the School of Speech, gave for the first time in the Law School a course in Professional Speech. This course had been discontinued for ten years past, owing to the difficulty of finding a qualified instructor. Professor Sarett's course proved to be everything that was hoped for. This instruction is now, by vote of the, Faculty, compulsory upon all first-year students who have not had equivalent training. To our general regret, Professor Sarett withdraws now from the course, owing to other duties, but the course will be continued under his successor, from the School of Speech. On the staff of the Summer Quarter, 1921, were the following, by special appointment, not on the regular Faculty: Rousseau Angelus Burch, LL.B., Justice of the Kansas Supreme Court; Ira Ellsworth Robinson, formerly Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of West Virginia; �DEAN'S REPORT 17 Homer B. Dibell, LL.B. (N. W., '90), Judge of the Supreme Court of Minnesota. These three gentlemen each gave a single course. Mr. J ustice Dibell had taken part in the Summer Term of 1919, and the success of that innovation had decided us to enlarge the plan. The experience has convinced us that the problem of a Summer Term for the Law School has found its solution in this method of composing the Faculty in part of Supreme Court Judges. It relieves the resident professors from allthe-year-round teaching. By inviting only those Judges of whose attainments we have personal knowledge, it assures the maintenance of our standards. By bringing together Judges and professors, it promotes a better understanding of the aims and methods of each group. By enabling students to meet Judges personally, it stimulates their ambitions, and inspires their work. In point of view of feasibility, the location of Chicago on Lake Michigan gives it the status of a summer resort for Judges located in the South, Southwest, and Northwest, and thus becomes attractive for Judges who can spend here a 40-day or 60-day vacation with the light burden of one lecture daily. Moreover, we have been gratified to receive unmistakable proof that the invitation from this School was regarded as an honor which any Judge might wish to accept. And the relatively modest honorarium, while it does no more than pay the living expenses of the Judge and his wife, seems to be satisfactory. This method of composing a Summer Law Faculty is thus far unique among American Law Schools. It is a success intrinsically, and we look to see it imitated by other Universities. I desire here to record the recognition given by the University to my colleague, Frederick Beers Crossley, on the completion of his twentieth year of service in the School. The honorary degree of Master of Arts was awarded him by vote of the Board of Trustees in April, 1921. At the May meeting of the Faculty of Law the diploma was conferred by the President in privatim. The introduction in presenting the candidate to the President was as follows: "Frederick Beers Crossley, a devoted officer of the University, now completing his twentieth year of invaluable service, skilled custodian of a splendid library of law, historian of the bench and bar of Illinois, wise �18 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL counsellor of youth, possessing the respect, confidence and affection of the entire body of the Law School's alumni." THE STUDENTS .The total number of students registered for the year 19201921 was 201. (See Table B.) The temporary decrease in the number of students is, of course, due to the application of the new requirements for entrance and graduation-three years of college study for entrance, and four years of law study for graduation. These requirements, going into effect for new students in September, 1919, applied this year to two classes. But we anticipate that the tide will not be long in turning; for with 600,000 persons in American colleges in 1921, as against 200,000 in 1917, the number of qualified persons is increasing at a rapid rate. A three-year college requirement is now no more intensive in its application than was formerly a four-year high school requirement. More law schools each year are adopting a twoyear college requirement. At the meeting of the American Bar Association this year, the report of the Committee, chaired by Elihu Root, recommending that two years of college be required for admission to the Bar in all States, was adopted by an enormous and enthusiastic majority-the first time that the Association has gone on record for that measure. Our School will shortly begin to reap the fruits of its advanced position. The four-year law course came up for debate at the annual meeting of £he Association of American Law Schools in December, 1920. No action, however, was taken, and the matter was re-committed. It is evident that there is a strong sentiment in favor of it; but the timid and conservative element is for the moment in the saddle, and other issues are complicated with this one. The total number of women students was 11. (See Table C.) The geographical distribution is shown in Table D at the end of the report. The entrance preparation ·of the students (regular and special) is shown in Table E. In order to exhibit the application of the new entrance requirements to the successive classes, the entrance preparation will hereafter be shown under the following headings: �DEAN'S 19 REPORT TABLE EE 1920-21 College Credit Class 4 Yrs.

THE CURRICULUM On the four-year course, some comments are made above. It is notable that, from the point of view of popular or professional opinion, no word of dissent or di sfavor has been received from any quarter, either from students, profession, or public. This could not have been the case, had not the measure found virtually universal approval. GIFTS Here will be noted only th at the benefaction of Hon. Elbert H. Gary, '67, was continued, and that the book purchases for the years 1919 and 1920 for the Elbert H. Gary Library of Law were again provided by his generosity, as already reported.

Reprinted November 1922, for distribution to Alumni of the Law School From the Report of the Dean of the Law School, 1917-18. 1. The effect of the war was seen in the depletion of the numbers of faculty and students, and in the postponement of the new rules for entrance, as already noted. The spirit of the School was enthusiastically loyal to the Great Cause of the War. Nearly every student made effort to enter the Officers Training Camps of May and August, 1917, and-large numbers were accepted. Many of those who had not the good fortune to enter the Officers' Camp of May, 1917, took prompter measures in their impatience, to get to the battlefields of France, and entered the Ambulance Corps Units that were going over immediately, or enlisted as privates in the Regular Army or the Marine Corps. The total numbers in military service, as far as ascertainable, were as follows, shown to Law School status, and according to branches of service : (a) BY LAW SCHOOL STATUS Faculty members .............................................................................................................................. 9 Alumni ................................................................................................................................................ 186 Students: Class of 1917 ...................................................................................................................... 51 Class of 1918 ...................................................................................................................... 61 Class of 1919 ........................................................................................... ....................... .45 Special ................................................................................................................................ 2 Class of 1920 ...................................................................................................................... 20 179 865 2 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL (b) BY BRANCHES AND RANKS OF SERVICE United States Army : LCioelounteenlsa n·t·-·C···o·l·o··n··el·s -....-....-.-..·..·..·.·.·..·.·.·..·.·.·..·.·.·..··..·.·.·..·.·.·.·.·.·.·..·.·.·..·.·..·.·.·.·..·.·..·..·.·.·..·.·.·.·..·.·.·..·.·.·..··.·.....·....-.....-....-.....-. 2Ii Majors .......................................................... • ................................................................. 5 Captains .............................................................................................................................. 30 First Lieutenants ............................................................................................................ 60 Second Lieutenants ........................................................................................................ 66 Regimental Sergeant Majors ........................................................................................ 2 Battalion Sergeant Majors ............................................................................................ 1 Sergeants ............................................................................................................................ 21 Candidate Officers ............................................................................................................ 21 Corporals ............................................................................................................................ 13 M.

Stratton, 'OS, of the Cavalry, is said to have been the first American Cavalryman wounded in action. 2. The Alumni News Letter, edited by Miss Mary E. Goodhue, of the office staff, was a unique feature of service to the men in camp and at the front. The well-known devotion of Miss Goodhue to the welfare of the student-body has ever commanded their unbounded confidence and admiration. Their personal letters kept her advised of all happenings amidst the stirring and novel events of their military experience. Seventeen issues were prepared, between August, 1917, and December, 1918, and were circulated in mimeograph to all in the service. The arrival of the News Letter was a cheering event in every quarter, from Camp Kearney to the Argonne; and its personal chronicles kept alive the Northwestern spirit in all branches of the service. To judge from the news items in the letters, Northwestern men were meeting each other constantly in every field of war activity. This News Letter should be printed and sent to all alumni as a permanent memorial of Northwestern University Law School annals of the war. A donation for the purpose would be welcome. 3. The Faculty contributed active war service in branches of work other than directly military. The Selective Service system was the natural field for professional legal skill, and all resident members offered their service in the selective draft boards and its auxiliary staffs. As members of legal advisory boards, their arduous service was highly valued. The 4 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL American Protective Association, the Four-Minute Men, the American Red Cross, and other organizations also received active assistance in their Chicago branches from various members of the Faculty. Others joined the staff of the National Council of Defense, the United States Treasury, the United States Shipping Board, and other Bureaus in Washington. Respectfully submitted, JOHN H. \VIGMORE, Dean. From the Report of the Dean of the Law School 1918- 19. THE STUDENTS' ARMY TRAINING CORPS In the President's Report for 1917-19, the following conclusions are given a place: "It can scarcely be said that the Students' Army Training Corps was a marked success from the point of view either of the Army or of the University. * * * The experiment, however, should not be condemned, as it grew out of a war necessity and was very hastily developed." 1. There is, however, a very different experience and conviction held by some members of the Faculty, and the University annals should bear record to that conviction also. It may be summarized as follows: The Students' Army Training Corps was a complete success in producing two results vital to military and to civic interests, and it was invaluable in its contribution to three other important elements, viz.: (1) From the military point of view of preserving the independence of our Nation, the S. A. T. C. provided a rese:-- voir of more than 25,000 trained officer-material, necessary to officer the new 2,000,000 army which was to assist in the 1919 spring offensive, and impossible to provide so rapidly in any other way; and this result ,vas precisely the one aimed at by the General Staff and the War Department Education Committee in organizing the Corps. (2) From the civic point of view, viz., the preservation of the institutions of higher education, the S. A. T. C. saved more than 500 educational institutions from being disorganized by the second draft, which was due to take all men of ages 18-20 before June, 1919; had the Corps not been installed in those institutions, the faculties of the vast majority would • DEAN'S REPORT 5 have been disbanded by October, 1918, the revenues for the year would have been depleted, and more than half of the institutions would have become insolvent. (3) From the point of view of the student-body, it saved nearly a year in the completion of the education of nearly 150,000 young men; for they would all have entered cantonments at some period between October, 1918, and June, 1919, and the suspended institutions would not have been ready to receive them again until September, 1919; whereas the net actual loss of time did not exceed three months for any of them, and the great majority lost no time at all. (4) From the point of view, again, of student welfare, the three months of the Corps contributed a unique experience of discipline in education which could never have fallen to their lot otherwise; and this tradition will never lose its moral value in the lives of those who enjoyed the privilege. ~5) From the point of view of educational method, the contrast of military and civic methods, side by side, furnished a unique experience of great value; and American higher education can never cease to be thankful for the lessons to be drawn from that brief but emphatic experience. In the first two features, therefore, viz., the assistance in assuring that military victory which saved the nation, and the assistance in rescuing the country's universities and colleges from disastrous disruption, the Students' Army Training Corps was a complete success. The first feature was the precise and only one aimed at by the War Department; that aim was achieved. The second feature, though not aimed at, was foreseen by all who understood the educational situation in the summer of 1918; the escape from disaster was so significant for the educational authorities that it can never be anything but the subject of thankfulness; and that escape was due solely to the organization of the Corps within the institutions. The interference of the Corps with the normal college studies and customs was a trifling price to pay for these extraordinary benefits. Some such loss was a foregone conclusion; and any criticisms based upon it are, therefore, beside the point. The imperfect operation of the Corps itself, in various details, large and small, is another matter, legitimately open to discussion. But the only matter of surprise here is that the 6 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL Corps could have been organized and operated at all, under the circumstances. The time limit was so short that the actual measure of achievement is next to incredible. The circumstances attending the Corps demonstrate this. But they are not known or appreciated in most University circles. As the Dean of this Law School, by virtue of membership in the War Department Committee on Education and Special Training, was in a position to know the inner circumstances, a brief summary of them is here worth while. Summarized, the salient features of the situation were (1) that the new draft law, taking in the ages 18-20, and thus destined to send to camp virtually the entire body of ablebodied male college students between October, 1918, and June, 1919, was not enacted by Congress till August 30, 1918; (2) that this change from the status of voluntary enlistment to compulsory draft affected all the important and complex details of military organization; and (3) that, therefore, no plans could possibly be fixed, or even announced by the War Departm6'.nt, until the end of August, 1918; thus leaving only 30 days for effecting the organization of 140,000 students, with over 3,000 officers, at over 500 institutions, subject to 4,500 draft boards, including the arrangements for curriculum, finance, equipment, housing, discipline, induction, and mobilization. The situation had begun to develop in March, 1918. By April, 1918, with the German drive begun, and the monthly shipment of American soldiers suddenly raised from 100,000 to 300,000, the prospect of new levies, probably 2,000,000 or more, loomed in the near future. The officers needed for the new levies would be at least 100,000. Nothing like that number was in sight as available, within the time limits, from ordinary cantonment training. Where could the deficit be made up? Where could 50,000 officer-material be found and trained in the elements? Of course, reflection showed that there was one place, viz., the colleges. In the colleges was available housing and feeding; there on hand were teachers of mathematics and other needful subjects. What was lacking was military instruction and discipline; and this must be specially supplied in any event. It was, therefore, resolved to plan to use this source of supply. Estimating 100,000 as the minimum attendance and 200,000 as the maximum, for 1918-1919, and figuring on DEAN'S REPORT 7 25 per cent as the ratio of first-class material emerging therefrom, this would proyide a reservoir of 25,000-50,000 officermaterial,- a welcome amount, possibly enough to supply the pressing need. But would the colleges agree to take part? There was every reason to suppose so. Several hundred colleges had applied for volunteer units immediately upon anno uncement of the original plan early in July. The young men of 18-20, not liable to draft, could enlist, and were already becoming restive. A military training, installed in the colleges as a reservoir for new officers, would attract them as volunteers. Two or three large universities were already armed camps of this sort, by volunteer efforts. Many other institutions had indicated their approval of the measure. Accordingly, in May-June, plans were prepared by the Committee and approved by the General Staff. But, meanwhile, in the rush of military events, it became plain to the military authorities that the Selective Service Act of 1917 would not produce the needed levies, unless the ages 21-30 were much enlarged. A bill to enlarge the ages was introduced in Congress in the first week of August. But should the ages be extended downward to include ages 18-20? This would depend on the total number needed and the total probable yield from each age. The total number of men required was at least 2,000,000. The estimates of ageyields reached 2,300,000, if ages 18-20 were included, but not otherwise. The memorandum on this subject by the Chief of Staff was laid before the Secretary of War on July 28. 1 The age limits were debated by Congress during August, and there was much opposition to the inclusion of the younger ages. Upon Congress' decision depended the whole plan of the Committee. No settlement was possible prior to that decision. Enlistment of men within draft ages had been prohibited already. Hence, if the 18-20 ages were included by Congres~ in the new law, all college students would be within the draft and liable to call before or by June, 1919. Therefore, either a special draft exemption must be provided for the college S. A. T. C., or its members must be inducted subject to the draft and as a part of the draft contingent. The first alternative was unthinkable; because both Congress and the War Department, correctly gauging public opinion, would never 1. The calculations were drafted by the writer of this report. 8 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL consent to a privileged status for college students, relieving them from the normal incidence of the selective draft. The second alternative, however, would require an entire re-casting of the S. A. T. C. organization, which had been thus far planned on a volunteer basis, under the Act of 1917. The political impossibility, above alluded to, of giving the college S. A . .T. C. the usual draft exemption accorded to ordinary voluntary enlistments, has perhaps not been fully realized by college authorities, and has still a lesson for us. The widespread popular notion, constantly revealed in Congress and in high army circles also, was that the S. A. T. C. plans based on voluntary enlistment of men within draft ages, would import special privilege for the sons of rich men, putatively including many slackers. This popular notion of colleges as the pampered gathering-places of rich youths is very extensive, and very obstinate. It almost defeated the S. A. T. C. plans, and for a time blocked their progress. College authorities, well aware of the dominant element of self-supporting youths in every institution, are accustomed to assume that the great public is equally aware of the fact. But the experience of the War Department Committee shows that public opinion is yet far from full enlightenment in this respect. If, there• fore, the draft should reach down to ages 18-20, it was inevitable that the S. A. T. C. must eliminate every feature of privileged exemption from the draft. By the last week in August, it became certain that the ages 18-20 would be included in the new draft law. The S. A. T. C. plans were, therefore, shifted to meet the new require·· ment. Registration day was to be September 12. All the complicated operations of the local boards, involving registration, questionnaires, classification, physical examination, induction, and mobilization, must, therefore, take place during the two weeks ensuing; and a special set of forms must be devised and distributed to the boards, the colleges, and the military officers. All arrangements appropriate to the status of students as soldiers in active service must be perfected; and here the various fixed requirements of statute and army regulations must be conformed to, by special devices. For example, the law as interpreted by the Federal Supreme Court and the Judge Advocate General's office, forbade the use of either the furlough status or the reserve status, and hence the student soldiers must be placed on an active and pay status; DEAN'S REPORT 9 this feature alone, besides involving some additional millions of expense, added many complications of documentary formality. Equipment for fall and winter weather must be provided; and this requirement called for clothing, blankets, bedding, and arms, at precisely the moment when General Pershing was pressing the War Department for all available supplies to equip the Expeditionary Force, whose numbers arriving in France were now leaping to the figure of 300,000 monthly. Barracks and mess halls must be provided and a system of accounts installed for an expenditure of nearly $200,000,000. Last, but not least, 3,000 military instructors must be found and sent to their stations. Suffice it to note, once more, not only that these arrangements were novel in their problems, but that there remained only five or six weeks in which to work them out and put them into effect, and to communicate the system to 4,500 selective service boards, to 600 college authorities, and to 3,000 military officers. As a culminating obstacle, the influenza epidemic, sweeping the country in September, interposed delay at every point. That the system thus suddenly devised and installed worked defectively in some details and in some institutions was to be expected. The surprising circumstance is that, by October 1, it worked as well as it did. If the normal college curriculum and routine suffered inroads, this was deliberately foreseen and intended. The sole object of the Committee was to help win the war by providing necessary officer material, for the spring of 1919, through the use of the college quarters, personnel, and student-body. If anything at all was to remain of the normal civic curriculum, that was simply so much incidental gain, to be thankful for, from the college civic point of view. Many college authorities, especially many professors, naturally regretted this interference with normal methods. This state of mind led them also to judge severely the shortcomings of detail here and there in the operation of the system. Unaware as they were of the actual military necessities, and of the obstacles that had caused first delay and then haste, and removed as they were from the center of military anxiety and effort, this judgment was doubtless natural enough. Moreover, the explanations which might have placated this sentiment could not be made by the Committee freely to the college authorities in general, because full disclosure of reasons would 10 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL have violated both military policy in the face of the enemy, and ordinary diplomacy affecting the relations with other branches of the War Department and with Congress. But the personnel of the Committee, if not the general <!xigency of the war situation, might well have sufficed (and did in most cases suffice) to produce faith in the intentions and methods of the Committee. Only one of the three military members of the Committee was an officer of the Regular Army; of the Civilian Advisory Board, the chairman was a former professor of physics, and the executive secretary was a professor of philosophy, while the special staff organized for the collegiate branch of the S. A. T. C. had for its director a University president. It was certain that the S. A. T. C. organization, though dominated by the one purpose to provide competent military officer material, would be framed upon an intelligent and sympathetic understanding of college conditions, and would do all that was possible to preserve them from needless disruption. The Committee had reason to believe that all college authorities, could they have been placed in the Committee's situation, would have given full approval to all the steps that were taken, and would have accepted as inevitable and inconsiderable the shortcomings of operation that attended the execution of the great purpose. The military purpose was entirely achieved. And looking back at the principal result to the colleges, viz., the escape from an impending crisis of suspension and insolvency, it must also be maintained that the Students' Army Training Corps was, from the college point of view, a marked success. Respectfully submitted, JOHN H. WIGMORE, Dean. DEAN'S REPORT 11 Report of the Dean of the Law School, 1919-20. To the President of the Universil}): Herewith I lay before you my Annual Report as Dean of the Faculty of Law for 1919-1920. THE FACULTY The total number of persons attached to the Faculty of Law during the.year was 36. (See Table A.) THE STUDENTS The total number of students registered for the year 1919- 1920 was 279. (See Table B.) The increase in the number of third-year students is due to the numerous men returning from military service to complete their law studies. It is remarkable, and contrary to all expectations, that thus far not a single student has been heard of who went into military service who failed to resume his law studies upon his discharge; and only one or two of those have been known to transfer to another school. The relatively small increase in the number of first-year students is due to the application in September, 1919, of the new requirements for entrance and graduation, three years of college study for entrance and four years of law study for graduation. The entrance requirements applied only to those who had not commenced the study of law at this or another institution prior to September, 1919. The number thus qualifying under the new requirements was 26 (including 3 "exceptional" students); the number in the first-year class who were entitled to join it without thus qualifying was 58. The total number of women students was 16. (See Table C.) The entrance preparation of the students (regular and special) is shown in Table E at the end of the report. In order to exhibit the application of the new entrance requirements to the successive classes, the entrance preparation will hereafter be shown under the following headings: TABLE EE 1919-20 College Credit Class 4 Yra. 3 Yrs.

In that class there were 23 persons so qualified. Of the remainder, 61 in all, 20 had one or two years of college credit, and 41 were High School graduates. Of this number, three were admitted under the rules as "exceptional'' students, by special vote of the Faculty. The remainder, 58, had already matriculated prior to September 1, 1919, and were mostly young men returning at various times from military service. The number of degrees conferred at Commencement is shown in Table F. THE CURRICULUM The four-J}ear course of required studies for the first law degree went into effect in September, 1919, for the first-year class only. The remaining classes continued on the former schedule of offerings and requirements. There will be a period of transition in which neither schedule will be in full effect. An exposition of the scheme of the four-year course may, therefore, be postponed for a subsequent report. Suffice it here to say that the four-year course is now receiving the consideration of a Committee of the Association of American Law Schools, due to report at the next annual meeting, and that other schools are destined very soon to adopt it. The only innovation thus far involved in the first year of the four-year curriculum is a course in General Survey, designed to lay a foundation of general information for all beginning law students. Another innovation, involved in the program for the third and fourth years of the four-year curriculum, is the requirement of a Legal Clinic. This was voted by the Faculty to take effect for all third-year students in 1919-1920. This measure, already advocated in many quarters, has thus been first applied in this School as a requirement. The testimony of all concerned is an endorsement of its success. A pamphlet showing its operation is printed for the School. The enlargement of the Legal Clinic by placing it on a graduate footing is one of the prime objects for which an Endowment Fund is needed. Another new course was a series of lectures on The League of Nations (International Constitutional Law) by Mr. Caldwell, open to members of the bar. The course was well given and well attended. DEAN'S REPORT 13 A summer quarter of instruction was given, for the first time in the history of the School, in 1919. The reason was the propriety and necessity of enabling the men returning from war service to complete their law studies as soon as possible. The attendance numbered 130. The Faculty was composed of some of the regular staff of resident professors and lecturers, with the addition of Judge Homer B. Di bell, as already noted. In view of the adoption of the four-year curriculum, th,~ Faculty has taken it for granted that a summer quarter will hereafter be a regular feature, so that industrious aspirants to the profession may reduce their time of preparation to three calendar years, by taking three summer quarters, with only a month of intermission each year. As a provisional step, it was voted to hold a summer course of ten weeks in 1920. ENDOWMENT AND BUILDING FUND CAMPAIGN The plans for an Endowment and Building Fund, initiated by a Joint Faculties Committee in 1916-1917, and providing for concentration of the four Chicago professional Schools on a near North Side Campus, were resumed by the Board of Trustees in May, 1919. An option was secured on the Farwell- Fairbank property on Chicago Avenue and Lake Shore Drive. The Law School Alumni, realizing the need of early organization for the purpose, formed a General Committee in June, 1919. During the summer and fall, Class Committees for Chicago and State and District Committees for Illinois and other States were developed. In November a quiet campaign of solicitation was begun. The objective was a minimum of $1,500,000, to cover building and endowment. .The sum of approximately $200,000, from 500 alumni, was subscribed in this first stage of the quest. It remains to secure the greater part of the remainder by a few large subscriptions. The enterprise has commanded unanimous approval from the Alumni, and the zeal of scores of the Committee members in giving personal service is a revelation of loyalty which must gratify the University. The sacrifice represented by the numerous subscriptions of relatively small amounts are a splendid token of the devotion of those alumni to the high interests of the School and of their profession. 14 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL PROFESSIONAL OFFICES FILLED In my Annual Report of some six years ago, I compiled a list of the various professional committees or other responsible offices in which the members of our Faculty were rendering gratuitous public service. The list was intended to exhibit the variety of public service in professional and semi-professional fields, for which a call is legitimately made upon the members of a law fac ulty, and the extent to which our Faculty does receive and respond to such a demand. As that list is now obsolete, I present herewith a list (which is certainly not complete) of the committees and other offices in which the various members of our Faculty were rendering public service involving their professional skill and attainments during the past year: American Association of Universil)) Professors: Committee on University Ethics, the chairman. Amerioan Bar Association: Comparative Law Bureau, Board of Managers, one member. American Field Service Fellowships in French Universities: Committee on Nomination of Fellows, the chairman. American lnstilule of Criminal Law and Criminolog)): Executive Board, the chairman and two members. Editorial Board, three associate editors. Research Committees, two members and a chairman. Publications Committee, one member. American J udicalure Societ)): Board of Directors, three members, . and the secretary. Association of American Law Schools: Committee on Civil Procedure, two members. Committee on Legal History, the chairman. Committee on L egal Philosophy, the chairman and one member. Central Howard Association: Board of Advisers, one member. Chicago Association of Commerce: Committee on Education, one member.

National Conference of Commissioners on Uniformity of State Legislation: Illinois State Commission, one member. Selden Society ( of England): Council, one member. Respectfully submitted, JOHN H. WIGMORE, Dean. 16 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL Report of the Dean of the Law School, 1920-21 To the President of the UniversitJ;: Herewith I lay before you my Annual Report as Dean of the Faculty of Law for July 1, 1920, to July 1, 1921. THE FACULTY The total number of persons attached to the Faculty of Law during the year was 38. (See Table A.) Professor Greeley was on leave of absence during the first semester, owing to a serious illness from which he was obliged to go to California to recuperate. His course in Conveyancing was given by Mr. Abraham J. Hennings, LL.B., '12, of the law firm of Hennings and Thulin, legal advisers to Messrs. Peabody, Houghteling & Co.; to Mr. Hennings' loyal and able service in taking Professor Greeley's place the University is deeply indebted. The arrangement made last year, by which Professor Hyde's courses were to be given jointly by himself and Associate Professor WVatson, was duly carried out, with general satisfaction, Professor Hyde coming from Washington, for two periods of three weeks each, to deliver his part of the lectures. Professor Hyde's treatise on American International Law, the fruit of some twenty years of toil, is now going through the press, and promises to be accepted as the standard American treatise in that field. Professor Lew Sarett, of the School of Speech, gave for the first time in the Law School a course in Professional Speech. This course had been discontinued for ten years past, owing to the difficulty of finding a qualified instructor. Professor Sarett's course proved to be everything that was hoped for. This instruction is now, by vote of the, Faculty, compulsory upon all first-year students who have not had equivalent training. To our general regret, Professor Sarett withdraws now from the course, owing to other duties, but the course will be continued under his successor, from the School of Speech. On the staff of the Summer Quarter, 1921, were the following, by special appointment, not on the regular Faculty: Rousseau Angelus Burch, LL.B., Justice of the Kansas Supreme Court; Ira Ellsworth Robinson, formerly Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of West Virginia; DEAN'S REPORT 17 Homer B. Dibell, LL.B. (N. W., '90), Judge of the Supreme Court of Minnesota. These three gentlemen each gave a single course. Mr. J ustice Dibell had taken part in the Summer Term of 1919, and the success of that innovation had decided us to enlarge the plan. The experience has convinced us that the problem of a Summer Term for the Law School has found its solution in this method of composing the Faculty in part of Supreme Court Judges. It relieves the resident professors from allthe- year-round teaching. By inviting only those Judges of whose attainments we have personal knowledge, it assures the maintenance of our standards. By bringing together Judges and professors, it promotes a better understanding of the aims and methods of each group. By enabling students to meet Judges personally, it stimulates their ambitions, and inspires their work. In point of view of feasibility, the location of Chicago on Lake Michigan gives it the status of a summer resort for Judges located in the South, Southwest, and Northwest, and thus becomes attractive for Judges who can spend here a 40-day or 60-day vacation with the light burden of one lecture daily. Moreover, we have been gratified to receive unmistakable proof that the invitation from this School was regarded as an honor which any Judge might wish to accept. And the relatively modest honorarium, while it does no more than pay the living expenses of the Judge and his wife, seems to be satisfactory. This method of composing a Summer Law Faculty is thus far unique among American Law Schools. It is a success intrinsically, and we look to see it imitated by other Universities. I desire here to record the recognition given by the University to my colleague, Frederick Beers Crossley, on the completion of his twentieth year of service in the School. The honorary degree of Master of Arts was awarded him by vote of the Board of Trustees in April, 1921. At the May meeting of the Faculty of Law the diploma was conferred by the President in privatim. The introduction in presenting the candidate to the President was as follows: "Frederick Beers Crossley, a devoted officer of the University, now completing his twentieth year of invaluable service, skilled custodian of a splendid library of law, historian of the bench and bar of Illinois, wise 18 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL counsellor of youth, possessing the respect, confidence and affection of the entire body of the Law School's alumni." THE STUDENTS .The total number of students registered for the year 1920- 1921 was 201. (See Table B.) The temporary decrease in the number of students is, of course, due to the application of the new requirements for entrance and graduation-three years of college study for entrance, and four years of law study for graduation. These requirements, going into effect for new students in September, 1919, applied this year to two classes. But we anticipate that the tide will not be long in turning; for with 600,000 persons in American colleges in 1921, as against 200,000 in 1917, the number of qualified persons is increasing at a rapid rate. A three-year college requirement is now no more intensive in its application than was formerly a four-year high school requirement. More law schools each year are adopting a twoyear college requirement. At the meeting of the American Bar Association this year, the report of the Committee, chaired by Elihu Root, recommending that two years of college be required for admission to the Bar in all States, was adopted by an enormous and enthusiastic majority-the first time that the Association has gone on record for that measure. Our School will shortly begin to reap the fruits of its advanced position. The four-year law course came up for debate at the annual meeting of £he Association of American Law Schools in December, 1920. No action, however, was taken, and the matter was re-committed. It is evident that there is a strong sentiment in favor of it; but the timid and conservative element is for the moment in the saddle, and other issues are complicated with this one. The total number of women students was 11. (See Table C.) The geographical distribution is shown in Table D at the end of the report. The entrance preparation ·of the students (regular and special) is shown in Table E. In order to exhibit the application of the new entrance requirements to the successive classes, the entrance preparation will hereafter be shown under the following headings: DEAN'S REPORT 19 TABLE EE High 1920-21 College Credit Gr.

THE CURRICULUM On the four-year course, some comments are made above. It is notable that, from the point of view of popular or professional opinion, no word of dissent or di sfavor has been received from any quarter, either from students, profession, or public.

The Trustees of the University have long felt the demand for a Law School in Illinois that should be worthy of the State and of the Northwest, and not be second to any in t he country. It was evident that such a school could be established in Chicago better than at any other point. It was also felt to be wise that the School should have the undivided sympathy of the Bar. Upon consultation it was found expedient for the Ch icago and Northwestern Universities to unite in the maintenance of the Chicago Law School already in existence. The Universities agreed to share equally in the expenses and care, and in the results of the enterprise. By this arrangement the School is supported by two Universities, and by an undivided Bar. On the 6th of October, 1873, the College opened its first session under this patronage. The brief t ime between the consummation of the union and the opening of the Fall T erm gave but little opportunity for securing the public attention. But the friends of the enterprise were rejoiced to meet a class of fifty-fo~ students the first year. The advantages afforded by a College of Law for instruction in the science and practice of Law are appreciated both by the Bar and by the public. A systematic course of study, under eminent living teachers, is quite as valuable to the legal student as to the medical or theological. For laying the foundation of thorough knowledge of the Law, the advantages of the Law College far exceed those of an office. In an office it is seldom that the student receives the attention his best interests demand. In the College the Professors are specially charged with this work. The value of this instruction is indicated by the fact that about onE' j �College qf Law. 151 hundred students go yearly from the State of Illinois to the schools of other states, even though those schools do not teach our system of practice, or the statutes and decisions of our state. It is believed that this demand for systematic instruction will be fully met hereafter in our Law College. Students entering the Junior class are expected to have at least a good common-school education. It is greatly to the interest of the student to advance in general scholarship as far as practicable. A knowledge of Latin is of service in handling l,aw terms. It is believed that the Law Course as a Professional course should be a Post-graduate course. Such preparation is recommended, not reqitired. Students who have attended another Law College one year, or spent one year in the study of law in the office of an attorney, n~ay apply for standing in the Senior class, and may enter it if found competent on examination by the Faculty. There are twelve weeks in each term, three terms in each year, and two years in the Course. Our plan of teaching begins, in the Junior year, with the study of text-books, in which t.he students are daily drilled by question and answer. From thence it passes, in the Senior year, to lectures on specific topics or principles of the law, with the statutes and decisions bearing· on them, concluding with the study of Leading cases-the lectures alternating with examinations. The following programme of study for the two years embraces four hours per day for �152 Northwestern University. six days in the week, for thirty-six weeks. Seniors may be present at .Junior recitations, and vice versa; but are not examined at the latter. Indeed, it is preferred that each class should attend the instruction given to the other, thereby securing four hours of tuition each day without being overworked by an excessive amount of reading: JUNIOR YEAR.

In these they are taught to apply legal remedies according to the different forms of action, to bring suits, draw papers and pleadings, and take the various steps incident to bringing a cause to trial; then to try it according to the rules of evidence, including the arguments, charge, verdict, motion ln arrest of judgment, writ of error, etc. Real cases are selected, and the forms and dignity of a real trial preserved. The trial takes place in the presence of the classes, whose members act respectively as counsel, jurors, witnesses, and officers of the court, and before a Professor who sits as �154 Nortliwestem Univenity. judge, with the double aim of illustrating the legal prmciples involved, and explaining the rules of practice. This exercise is always interesting and profitable. On Saturday afternoon an example lesson is given m examination of abstracts of title, and drawing contracts, deeds, wills, pleadings, and the legal instruments required in office busin ess. The grammatical accuracy, rhetoric, elocution, and courtesy of deportment of the students will receive such attention as is deemed adapted to correct faults of style, without suppressing individuality, in which so often lies the secret of power. The students will be encouraged to organize societies, holding their sessions weekly, for the discussion of questions of political policy and economy, and for becoming acquainted with parliamentary rules. lJ]QJQJ'H{JJ. Students will find their own books. Arrangements have been made by which they may be supplied at the lowest trade prices. Many of the students obtain the use of hooks from the numerous law offices in the city, on favorable terms. Those who buy their books usually prefer to retain them, and thus begin a library; but, if they choose, they can sell them at the close of the term, at slightly reduced prices, in which case the n~t expense for books will be small. In addition to the daily and weekly examinations, the students will be examined at the close of the year in the presence of the Faculties and Trustees of both Universities. Juniors who show a satisfactory acquaintance with the subjects required will be advanced to the Senior class. Seniors found worthy will be recommended to graduation. �Oollege ef Law. 155 L The location of the Law College, in Superior Block, fronting on Court-House square, in the heart of the great metropolis of the Northwest, and in the immediate vicinity of all the law offices and of the Courts, State and Federal, which are almost constantly in session, affords to the student who wishes to obtain employment during office hours, and to become acquainted with every phase and variety of business, advanta.ges unsurpassed. 2.

Northwestern University comprises the following degreeconferring departments, each having a distinct Faculty of Instruction: THE COLLE GE OF LIBERAL ARTS, THE MEDICAL SCHOOL, THE LA w SCHOOL, THE SCHOOL OF PHARMACY, THE DENTAL SCHOOL, THE WOMAN' S MEDICAL SCHOOL, THE ScHOOL OF Mus rc, THE SCHOOL OF THOLOGY. The departments of the University are established in Chicago and Evanston, Illinois. The professional schools of Medicine, Law, Pharmacy, and Dentistry were established in the former place because of the advantages which a great city affords to those engaged in professional study. The College of Liber:;il Arts was established in Evanston because of the advantages to be derived from carrying on undergraduate study in a place somewhat removed from the distractions of a large city. The Law School was founded in 1859, there being at the time but three similar schools west of the Allegheny Mountains. For a long time it was known as the Union College of Law, but in 1891 it assumed its present name. 7 �8 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. The Law School offers to students a thorough training in the fundamental subjects of the law. Its students come from all parts of the country, and its course is arranged with a view to giving students that knowledge of the law which will be indispensable to them wherever they may practice. Special opportunities, however, are afforded for acquiring a knowledge of the law of Illinois. Law students are admitted without charge to courses in the College of Liberal Arts. The consent of both faculties must be obtained, however, and not more than one subject may be taken in the college each year. SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS . The rooms of the school are in the Masonic Temple. The lecture hall, library and reading-room, students' room and offices are spacious and conveniently arranged. The building is centrally located, and is only two blocks from the Court House. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION. Persons applying for admission in 1898-99 and thereafter as regular students must answer the following requirements: Age.-They must be not less than eighteen years of age. Preliminary Edttcatio11.-A candidate for a degree must have a preliminary general education equivalent to that of a graduate of a high school. For the proof of such education required se_e page 30. 3. Time of Entrance.-No applicant not coming from another law school will be admitted to the first-year class after the second week in January. This is because the courses of study are carefully graded and an acquaintance with earlier courses is necessary for the pursuit of the later ones. Those who do not enter by the beginning of January cannot work with profit to themselves, and are a hindrance to the progress of others. All students intending to enter the school are strongly urged to do so at the beginning of the year. The disadvantage of delay is great, especially to students who intend to practice law in Illinois. 1. 2. �THE LAW SCHOOL. 9 ADVANCED STANDING. Persons will hereafter be admitted to advanced standing upon the following conditions: I. As candidates for graduation in one year. (a) Persons who produce certificates from other law schools or colleges, in good standing, of having satisfactorily pursued courses of legal study amounting to at least forty term-hours, or ten hours a week for two years. (b) Persons who produce certificates from other law schools or colleges, in good standing, of having satisfactorily pursued courses of legal study amounting to at least twenty term-hours, or ten hours a week for one year, and who have also studied law under the direction of an attorney for an additional period of one year, of at least thirty-six weeks, as shown by a certificate of the attorney, stating the time spent in study, the books read, and the frequency of the examination of the student by the attorney. II. As candidates for graduation in two years. (a) Persons who produce certificates from other law schools or colleges, in good standing, of having satisfactorily pursued courses of legal study amounting to at least twenty term-hours, or ten houn a week for one year. (b) Persons who have studied law under the direction of an attorney for at least thirty-six weeks, as shown by a certificate of the attorney stating the time spent in study, the books read, and the frequency of the examination of the student by the attorney. (c) Graduates of colleges, in good standing, who produce certificates of having satisfactorily pursued courses of legal study amounting to at least ten term-hours, or ten hours a week for half a year. III. As candidates for graduation in three years. Persons who produce certificates of credit from other law schools or colleges, in good standing, to a less amount than is required in Rule II. IV. Students who have graduated from the College of Liberal Arts of this University prior to entering on their work in this Law School, or who have graduated from a College of Liberal Arts of some other University whose requirements for �IO NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. graduation appear to this Faculty to be equivalent to those of this University for the same degrees, may be admitted to advanced standing in this Law School, and may be given credit for certain work in law done in such College of Liberal Arts, the total credit for the same not to exceed two term-hours in any one subject, nor to exceed ten term-hours in all. The subjects for which such credit may be obtained are the follow ing: Constitutional Law, International Law, Elementary Law, Roman Law, Administrative Law, Comparative Constitutional Law. Where credit is thus obtained in any of the above-named subjects, the student will not be permitted to obtain additional credit in any such subjects by pursuing the same studies in the Law School, except for the excess of the number of hours in the Law School course over the number of hours for which credit in any subject is given. Students who enter this school with ten term-hours of credit thus obtained are thereby enabled to arrange their law work so as to make it possible for them to obtain the degree of Bachelor of Law in two years. V. Students admitted to advanced standing will receive degrees and diplomas upon the same terms as those who enter at the beginning of the course. That is to say, such students must obtain credit on the books of this school for the amount of work required for the diploma or degree. Such credit will be given to students coming from other colleges or law schools for an amount of work equivalent, in the opinion of the Faculty, to that for which they have received credit in such other schools. No credit is given in any other way for work done outside this school, and the student admitted to advanced standing must therefore pass the regular examinations in those courses in which he does not come with credit from other schools or colleges. �THE LAW SCHOOL. I I SPECIAL STUDENTS. There are two classes of special students, those who are candidates for a degree and those who are not. Persons not desiring to be 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 of all work done, and they may at any time enter as candidates for a degree, provided they are qualified under the above requirements. Persons who are candidates for a degree, but who for some reason take other than the regular work of any given year, are registered as special students, candidates for a degree.

The modes of instruction are varied, and depend more or less upon the individuality of the instructor and the character of the particular course. The study of cases, while not employed by all instructors as the basis of work, is particularly emphasized, especially in the fundamental subjects of the law. The object of the instruction given is not merely to secure familiarity with the rules of law as actually enforced, but also to develop a legal mind, to train the student in the art of legal reasoning, and to cultivate the faculty of sound legal common sense; in short, to prepare for the practical work of giving intelligent legal advice upon actual situations laid before an attorney by " a client. It is desirable that the student should, if possible, devote his time exclusively to his work in the law school. The constantly increasing complexity of the law demands a thorough acquaintance with legal theory, which can be obtained only in a law school, and the work required of a student in this school is amply sufficient to occupy all his time. The numerous courts sitting in Chicago, and the vast amount of litigation carried on here, afford ample opportunity to obtain familiarity with all the kinds of practice. Students desiring to obtain positions in lawyers' offices in Chicago will find a recommendation from this school of great assistance. Such recommendations are given only to graduates. MOOT COURTS AND THESES. 1. Moot Courts. For the purpose of training in the independent investigation of legal questions and in the preparation of briefs, moot courts are held weekly during the greater part of the year, in which the instructors preside as judges, and the members of the class prepare briefs and make oral arguments upon difficult cases given out beforehand. Each member of the second and third year classes has an opportunity during the year to take part as counsel in these exercises. �\ ' I THE LAW SCHOOL. 2. Theses. It is the desire of the Faculty to encourage original research by students. Any member of the third-year class may therefore obtain credit to an amount not exceeding two term-hours by presenting a satisfactory thesis upon some legal topic approved by a member of the Faculty. The thesis must be presented on or before May 1st of the year in which the student expects to gradua'te. It must be printed on typewriter or otherwise, and is to be kept permanently in the school. PRIZES. r. Th e Callagl,an Prize-A prize of fifty dollars in books, to be selected fro1n their own publications, the gift of Messrs. Callaghan and Company, of Chicago, will be awarded annually to the member of the graduating class having the best record for the entire course. In 1897 1 the Callaghan Prize, under slightly different conditions, was awarded to Henry Clay Hall, B. S., Wesley, Ind. 2. The Tow le Prize-A prize of fifty dollars, the gift of Mr. Henry Sargent Towle, of Chicago, will be awarded in 1898 to the student having the best record for the first two years in the Law School. This prize is open only to students who have taken the regular work of the first and second years, and who are not candidates for graduation in 1898. In 1897, the Towle Prize, under slightly different conditions, was awarded to Shirley Treadway High, A. B., of Chicago. 3. The Encyclojmdia Prize-A prize of a set of the Encyclopredia of Pleading and Practice, or a set of the first edition of the Encyclopredia of Law, or a set of the second edition of the Encyclopredia of Law, as the student may elect, the gift of The Edward Thompson Company, of Northport, Long Island, is offered to the student who shall write the best thesis on some subject assigned by the Faculty. Theses offered in competition for this prize cannot be offered in competition for the prize offered by the Lawyers' Co-operative Publishing Company, but any student may compete for both prizes by writing two theses. Theses offered in competition for the Encyclopredia Prize must be presented at the office of the Law School on or before May 1st. �18 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. In 1897, the Encyclopredia Prize was awarded to Joseph Gilbert Sheldon, of Chicago. 4. The Lawyers' Co-operative Publishing Company's Prize-The Lawyers' Co-operative Publishing Company, of Rochester, N . Y ., offers as a prize for the best thesis upon the subject, "The Commerce Clause of the Federal Constitution as Affected by the Police Power of the States," a set, to July 11 18981 of the Lawyers' Reports Annotated and Digest (value, $200). Theses offered in competition for the Lawyers' Co-operative Company's Prize must be presented at the office of the Law School on or before May 1st. LIBRARY FACILITIES. By an arrangement which the School has made with the Law Institute of Chicago, students are allowed free access to its ample library, which is located in the Court House, only two blocks distant from the School. This library contains over 30,000 volumes, including the reports and statutes of the United States and all of the states in the Union, as well as the English, Scotch and Irish reports and statutes, and a large collection of treatises and digests. For the use of this library, practicing lawyers, members of the Institute, pay $100 per share, besides an annual assessment of from $10 to $12. Students also have the benefit, without charge, of the large Public Library of the city, which is located about the same distance from the School, and contains 188,000 volumes. They also have access, without charge, to the Newberry Library, which contains 117 ,ooo volumes. In addition to the library of the Law Institute, the Law School has a library of its own, in which will be found the reports and text-books most needed for reference. All current American cases are to be found in the National Reporter system, to which the School subscribes. DEGREES. All degrees are conferred at the generar University Commencement, on which occasion all candidates for degrees are �THE LAW SCHOOL. required to present themselves, the Oxford cap and gown being worn as the official dress. I. BACHELOR OF LAWS. The degree of Bachelor of Laws will be conferred upon students who complete the regular three years' course. But (a) the candidate must have pursued at least one full year's work as a resident student; and (b) the candidate must be credited, on the books of the School, with satisfactory examinations in courses of study amounting to ten hours a week for three years, or sixty semester-hours in all. A student who entered the School, however, at a time when its requirements for a degree were less than at present, will receive his degree upon complying with the requirements existing when he entered. Four grades are given for work done. The grades are as follows: A, excellent; B, satisfactory; C, unsatisfactory; D, failure. Not more than ten semester-hours of grade C can be counted by a student toward his degree without the unanimous consent of the Faculty. II. MASTER'S DEGREE . The Master's Degree in Arts, Philosophy, Science or Letters will be conferred under the following conditions: A graduate of the College of Liberal Arts of this University, or of some other in which the requirements for the Bachelor's Degree in Arts, Philosophy, Science or Letters are equivalent to the requirements for the same degree at this University, may obtain the Master's degree at the same time with the degree of Bachelor of Laws by pursuing, with the sanction of the Faculty of Liberal Arts, advanced work in subjects approved by that Faculty, and obtaining credit in such work to the amount of twelve semester-hours. The courses of study may, in part or entirely, deal with legal subjects; but courses of legal study, in order to count for the degree, must be (a) of an advanced nature, (b) not otherwise counted for the degree of Bachelor of Laws, (c) pursued under the direction of a member of the Faculty of the Law School. Students in law intending to become candidates for the Master's degree must �20 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. register for the same in the College of Liberal Arts and in the Law School on or before the first Monday in October of the year in which they expect to graduate, and must pay the diploma fee of ten dollars.

Northwestern University comprises the following degreeconferring departments, each having a distinct Faculty of Instruction: THE COLLE GE OF LIBERAL ARTS, THE MEDICAL SCHOOL, THE LA w SCHOOL, THE SCHOOL OF PHARMACY, THE DENTAL SCHOOL, THE WOMAN' S MEDICAL SCHOOL, THE ScHOOL OF Mus rc, THE SCHOOL OF THOLOGY. The departments of the University are established in Chicago and Evanston, Illinois. The professional schools of Medicine, Law, Pharmacy, and Dentistry were established in the former place because of the advantages which a great city affords to those engaged in professional study. The College of Liber:;il Arts was established in Evanston because of the advantages to be derived from carrying on undergraduate study in a place somewhat removed from the distractions of a large city. The Law School was founded in 1859, there being at the time but three similar schools west of the Allegheny Mountains. For a long time it was known as the Union College of Law, but in 1891 it assumed its present name. 7 8 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. The Law School offers to students a thorough training in the fundamental subjects of the law. Its students come from all parts of the country, and its course is arranged with a view to giving students that knowledge of the law which will be indispensable to them wherever they may practice. Special opportunities, however, are afforded for acquiring a knowledge of the law of Illinois. Law students are admitted without charge to courses in the College of Liberal Arts. The consent of both faculties must be obtained, however, and not more than one subject may be taken in the college each year. SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS . The rooms of the school are in the Masonic Temple. The lecture hall, library and reading-room, students' room and offices are spacious and conveniently arranged. The building is centrally located, and is only two blocks from the Court House. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION. Persons applying for admission in 1898-99 and thereafter as regular students must answer the following requirements: 1. Age.-They must be not less than eighteen years of age. 2. Preliminary Edttcatio11.-A candidate for a degree must have a preliminary general education equivalent to that of a graduate of a high school. For the proof of such education required se_e page 30. 3. Time of Entrance.-No applicant not coming from another law school will be admitted to the first-year class after the second week in January. This is because the courses of study are carefully graded and an acquaintance with earlier courses is necessary for the pursuit of the later ones. Those who do not enter by the beginning of January cannot work with profit to themselves, and are a hindrance to the progress of others. All students intending to enter the school are strongly urged to do so at the beginning of the year. The disadvantage of delay is great, especially to students who intend to practice law in Illinois. THE LAW SCHOOL. 9 ADVANCED STANDING. Persons will hereafter be admitted to advanced standing upon the following conditions: I. As candidates for graduation in one year. (a) Persons who produce certificates from other law schools or colleges, in good standing, of having satisfactorily pursued courses of legal study amounting to at least forty term-hours, or ten hours a week for two years. (b) Persons who produce certificates from other law schools or colleges, in good standing, of having satisfactorily pursued courses of legal study amounting to at least twenty term-hours, or ten hours a week for one year, and who have also studied law under the direction of an attorney for an additional period of one year, of at least thirty-six weeks, as shown by a certificate of the attorney, stating the time spent in study, the books read, and the frequency of the examination of the student by the attorney. II. As candidates for graduation in two years. (a) Persons who produce certificates from other law schools or colleges, in good standing, of having satisfactorily pursued courses of legal study amounting to at least twenty term-hours, or ten houn a week for one year. (b) Persons who have studied law under the direction of an attorney for at least thirty-six weeks, as shown by a certificate of the attorney stating the time spent in study, the books read, and the frequency of the examination of the student by the attorney. (c) Graduates of colleges, in good standing, who produce certificates of having satisfactorily pursued courses of legal study amounting to at least ten term-hours, or ten hours a week for half a year. III. As candidates for graduation in three years. Persons who produce certificates of credit from other law schools or colleges, in good standing, to a less amount than is required in Rule II. IV. Students who have graduated from the College of Liberal Arts of this University prior to entering on their work in this Law School, or who have graduated from a College of Liberal Arts of some other University whose requirements for IO NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. graduation appear to this Faculty to be equivalent to those of this University for the same degrees, may be admitted to advanced standing in this Law School, and may be given credit for certain work in law done in such College of Liberal Arts, the total credit for the same not to exceed two term-hours in any one subject, nor to exceed ten term-hours in all. The subjects for which such credit may be obtained are the follow - ing: Constitutional Law, International Law, Elementary Law, Roman Law, Administrative Law, Comparative Constitutional Law. Where credit is thus obtained in any of the above-named subjects, the student will not be permitted to obtain additional credit in any such subjects by pursuing the same studies in the Law School, except for the excess of the number of hours in the Law School course over the number of hours for which credit in any subject is given. Students who enter this school with ten term-hours of credit thus obtained are thereby enabled to arrange their law work so as to make it possible for them to obtain the degree of Bachelor of Law in two years. V. Students admitted to advanced standing will receive degrees and diplomas upon the same terms as those who enter at the beginning of the course. That is to say, such students must obtain credit on the books of this school for the amount of work required for the diploma or degree. Such credit will be given to students coming from other colleges or law schools for an amount of work equivalent, in the opinion of the Faculty, to that for which they have received credit in such other schools. No credit is given in any other way for work done outside this school, and the student admitted to advanced standing must therefore pass the regular examinations in those courses in which he does not come with credit from other schools or colleges. THE LAW SCHOOL. I I SPECIAL STUDENTS. There are two classes of special students, those who are candidates for a degree and those who are not. Persons not desiring to be 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 of all work done, and they may at any time enter as candidates for a degree, provided they are qualified under the above requirements. Persons who are candidates for a degree, but who for some reason take other than the regular work of any given year, are registered as special students, candidates for a degree.

The modes of instruction are varied, and depend more or less upon the individuality of the instructor and the character of the particular course. The study of cases, while not employed by all instructors as the basis of work, is particularly emphasized, especially in the fundamental subjects of the law. The object of the instruction given is not merely to secure familiarity with the rules of law as actually enforced, but also to develop a legal mind, to train the student in the art of legal reasoning, and to cultivate the faculty of sound legal common sense; in short, to prepare for the practical work of giving intelligent legal advice upon actual situations laid before an attorney by a client. " It is desirable that the student should, if possible, devote his time exclusively to his work in the law school. The constantly increasing complexity of the law demands a thorough acquaintance with legal theory, which can be obtained only in a law school, and the work required of a student in this school is amply sufficient to occupy all his time. The numerous courts sitting in Chicago, and the vast amount of litigation carried on here, afford ample opportunity to obtain familiarity with all the kinds of practice. Students desiring to obtain positions in lawyers' offices in Chicago will find a recommendation from this school of great assistance. Such recommendations are given only to graduates. MOOT COURTS AND THESES. 1. Moot Courts. For the purpose of training in the independent investigation of legal questions and in the preparation of briefs, moot courts are held weekly during the greater part of the year, in which the instructors preside as judges, and the members of the class prepare briefs and make oral arguments upon difficult cases given out beforehand. Each member of the second and third year classes has an opportunity during the year to take part as counsel in these exercises. \ ' I THE LAW SCHOOL. 2. Theses. It is the desire of the Faculty to encourage original research by students. Any member of the third-year class may therefore obtain credit to an amount not exceeding two term-hours by presenting a satisfactory thesis upon some legal topic approved by a member of the Faculty. The thesis must be presented on or before May 1st of the year in which the student expects to gradua'te. It must be printed on typewriter or otherwise, and is to be kept permanently in the school. PRIZES. r. Th e Callagl,an Prize-A prize of fifty dollars in books, to be selected fro1n their own publications, the gift of Messrs. Callaghan and Company, of Chicago, will be awarded annually to the member of the graduating class having the best record for the entire course. In 18971 the Callaghan Prize, under slightly different conditions, was awarded to Henry Clay Hall, B. S., Wesley, Ind. 2. The Tow le Prize-A prize of fifty dollars, the gift of Mr. Henry Sargent Towle, of Chicago, will be awarded in 1898 to the student having the best record for the first two years in the Law School. This prize is open only to students who have taken the regular work of the first and second years, and who are not candidates for graduation in 1898. In 1897, the Towle Prize, under slightly different conditions, was awarded to Shirley Treadway High, A. B., of Chicago. 3. The Encyclojmdia Prize-A prize of a set of the Encyclopredia of Pleading and Practice, or a set of the first edition of the Encyclopredia of Law, or a set of the second edition of the Encyclopredia of Law, as the student may elect, the gift of The Edward Thompson Company, of Northport, Long Island, is offered to the student who shall write the best thesis on some subject assigned by the Faculty. Theses offered in competition for this prize cannot be offered in competition for the prize offered by the Lawyers' Co-operative Publishing Company, but any student may compete for both prizes by writing two theses. Theses offered in competition for the Encyclopredia Prize must be presented at the office of the Law School on or before May 1st. 18 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. In 1897, the Encyclopredia Prize was awarded to Joseph Gilbert Sheldon, of Chicago. 4. The Lawyers' Co-operative Publishing Company's Prize-The Lawyers' Co-operative Publishing Company, of Rochester, N . Y ., offers as a prize for the best thesis upon the subject, "The Commerce Clause of the Federal Constitution as Affected by the Police Power of the States," a set, to July 11 18981 of the Lawyers' Reports Annotated and Digest (value, $200).

Every application to this court for admission to the bar shall be made in term time, by motion in open court, based upon a report of said Board of Law Examiners. Each examiner shall act as a member of such board for a term of three years, except under the first appointment, which shall be for a term of one year for one, two years for two, and three years for the remaining two of said examiners, and until the appointment of their successors. Examinations shall be conducted by written or printed interrogatories, in whole or in part, and to be as nearly as possible uniform throughout the State; to be held at Ottawa on the first Tuesday of March; at Chicago the first Tuesday of May; at Springfield the first Tuesday of September, and at Mt.

If an applicant, on examination, should be rejected, he shall not again be admitted to an examination within six months from the date of such rejection, and shall file with the board proof that he has studied law for six months subsequent to the prior examination. Each applicant for admission to the bar, whether upon examination or admission in another State or foreign country, shall pay to said board, in advance, a fee of ten dollars, and shall present his affidavit, or that of some other reputable person for him, that he is of the age of twenty-one years or above, a resident of this State and a citizen of the United States, or has declared his intention of becoming a citizen thereof; also, a certified transcript of the record from a court of record of this State showing that the applicant is a person of good moral character, which transcript shall show that at least two reputable members of the bar practicing in the court in which the record is made, and whose names shall be given,appeared before said court and testified that the applicant was a reputable person and of good moral character. Every applicant, except those who apply for admission by virtue of admission in another State or foreign country, shall present to the Board of Law Examiners, satisfactory proof, in writing, by examination or otherwise, as the board may direct, that he has had a preliminary general education equivalent to that of a graduate of a high school in this State, and has pursued for the period of three years, during at least thirty-six weeks in each year, a course of law studies covering the subjects above enumerated, naming the law books studied, and that such law studies have been pursued in an established law school considered by the board to be in good standing, or under the tuition of one or more licensed lawyers; and that the applicant, if studying under such tuition, has submitted to regular and satisfactory examinations by such lawyer or lawyers during said period, upon each subject.

MASONIC TEMPLE, CHICAGO. ANNOUNCEMENT. Northwestern University comprises the following degreeconferring departments, each having a distinct Faculty of Instruction: THE COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS, THE MEDICAL SCHOOL, THE LA w SCHOOL, THE SCHOOL OF PHARMACY, THE DENTAL SCHOOL, THE WOMAN'S MEDICAL SCHOOL, THE SCHOOL OF Musrc, . THE SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY . The departments of the University are established in Chicago and Evanston, Illinois. The professional schools of Medicine, Law, Pharmacy, and Dentistry were established in the former place because of the advantages which a great city affords to those engaged in professional study. The College of Liberal Arts was established in Evanston because of the advantages to be derived from carrying on undergraduate study in a place somewhat removed from the distractions of a large city. The Law School was founded in 1859, there being at the time but three similar schools west of the Alleghany Mountains. For a long time it was known as the Union College of Law, but in 1891 it assumed its present name. The Law School offers to students a thorough training in the fundamental subjects of the law. Its students come from all parts of the country, and its course is arranged 7 �8 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. with a view to giving students that knowledge of the law which will be indispensable to them wherever they may practice. Special opportunities, however, are afforded for acquiring a knowledge of the law of Illinois, the peculiarities of which are pointed out in each course. Law students are admitted without charge to courses in the College of Liberal Arts. The consent of both faculties must be obtained, however, and not more than one subject may be taken in the college each year. SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS. The Law School has recently moved into new quarters in the Association Building, 153 LaSalle Street, where it now occupies the thirteenth and fourteenth floors. The thirteenth floor is used for a lecture room, offices, and students' rooms. The fourteenth floor is used as a library and reading-room. The opportunities for study at the rooms of the Law School have been greatly enlarged by an increase in the amount of room devoted to library and reading-room purposes, and by an increase in the number of books in the School library. The building is centrally located and is only two blocks from the Court House, where students have access to the Law Institute library as described on page 19. The central department of the Young Men's Christian Association of Chicago is situated in the same building with the Law School. The Association offers to members of the School all tlre advantages of a fine club at a very moderate price. A full statement of the opportunities which the Association affords to students may be obtained by addressing the Secretary of the Association. An outline of these advantages will be found in the leaflet accompanying this circular. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION. Persons applying for admission as regular students must answer the following requirements: 1. 2. Age.-They must not be less than eighteen years of age. Preliminary Education.-A candidate for a degree must have �THE LAW SCHOOL. 9 a preliminary general education equivalent to that of a graduate of a high school. For the proof of such education required see page 30. 3. Time of Entrance.-No applicant not coming from another law school will be admitted to the first-year class after the second week in January. This is because the courses of study are carefu ll y graded and an acquaintance with earlier courses is necessary for the pursuit of the later ones. Those who do not enter by the beginning of January cannot work with profit to themselves, and are a hindrance to the progress of others. All students intending to enter the school are strongly urged to do so at the beginning of the year. The disadvantage of delay is great, especially to students who intend to practice law in Illinois. ADVANCED STANDING. Persons will hereafter be admitted to advanced standing upon the following conditions: I. As candidates for graduation in one year. (a) Persons who produce certificates from other law schools or colleges, in good standing, of having satisfactorily pursued courses of legal study, entitling them to credit amounting to at least forty term-hours, or ten hours a week for two years. (b) Persons who produce certificates from other law schools or colleges, in good standing, of having satisfactorily pursued courses of legal study, entitling them to credit amounting to at least twenty term-hour s, or ten hours a week for one year, and who have also studied law under the direction of an attorney for an additional period of one year, of at least thirty-six weeks, as shown by a certificate of the attorney, stating the time spent in study, the books read, and the frequency of the examination of the student by the attorney. II. As candidates for graduation in two years. (a) Persons who produce certificates from other law schoo ls or colleges, in good standing, of having satisfactorily pursued courses of legal study, entitling them to credit amounting to at least twenty term-hours, or ten hours a week for one year. (b) Persons who have studied law under the direction of an attorney for at least thirty-six weeks, as shown by a certificate of the attorney stating the time spent in study, the books read, and the frequency of the examination of the student by the attorney. (c) Graduates of colleges, in good standing, who produce certificates of having satisfactorily pursued courses of legal study, entitling them to credit amounting to at least ten term-hours, or ten hours a week for half a year. �IO NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. III. As candidates for graduation in three years. Persons who produce certificates of credit from other Jaw schools or colleges, in good standing, to a less amount than is required in Rule II. IV. Students who have graduated from the College of Liberal Arts of this University prior to entering on their work in this Law School, or who have graduated from a College of Liberal Arts of some other University whose requirements for graduation appear to this Faculty to be equivalent to those of this University for the same degrees, may be admitted to advanced standing in this Law School, and may be given credit for certain work in law done in such College of Liberal Arts, the total credit for the same not to exceed two term-hours in any one subject, nor to exceed ten ~erm-hours in all. The subjects for which such credit may be obtained are the following: Constitutional Law, International Law, Elementary Law, Roman Law, Administrative Law, Comparative Constitutional Law. Where credit is thus obtained in any of the above-named subjects, the student will not be permitted to obtain additional credit in any such subjects by pursuing the same studies in the Law School, except for the excess of the number of hours in the Law School course over the number of hours for which credit in any subject is given. Students who enter this school with ten term-hours of credit thus obtained are thereby enabled to arrange their. law work so as to make it possible for them to obtain the degree of Bachelor of Law in two years. V. Students admitted to advanced standing will receive degrees and diplomas upon the same terms as those who enter at the beginning of the course. That is to say, such students must obtain credit on the books of this school for the amount of work required for the diploma or degree. Such credit will be given to students coming from other colleges or law schools for an amount of work equivalent, in the opinion of the Faculty, to that for which they have received credit in such other schools. No credit is given in any other way for �THE LAW SCHOOL. II work done outside this school, and the student admitted to advanced standing must therefore pass the regular examinations in those courses in which he does not come with credit from other schools or colleges. VI. All students not admitted to advanced standing as candidates for graduation in less than three years must spend three years in this school and pay full fees for those three years. SPECIAL STUDENTS. There are two classes of special students, those who are candidates for a degree and those who are not. Persons not desiring to be 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 of all work done, and they may at any time enter as candidates for a degree, provided they are qualified under the above requirements. Persons who are candidates for a degree, but who for some reason take other than the regular work of any given year, are registered as special students, candidates for a degree. No special student may take more than twenty-five term-hours of work in one year without special permission from the Secretary. COURSE OF INSTRUCTION. FIRST YEAR. FIRST TERM.

The modes of instruction are varied, and depend more or less upon the individuality of the instructor and the character of the particular course. The study of cases, while not employed by all instructors as the basis of work, is particularly emphasized, especially in the fundamental subjects of the law. The object of the instruction given is not merely to secure familiarity with the rules of law as actually enforced, but also to develop a legal mind, to train the student in the art of legal reasoning, and to cultivate the faculty of sound legal common sense; in short, to prepare for the practical work of giving intelligent legal advice upon actual situations laid before an attorney by a client. It is desirable that the student should, if possible, devote his time exclusively to his work in the law school. The constantly increasing complexity of the law demands a thorough acquaintance with legal principles, which can be obtained only in a law school, and the work required of a student in this school is amply sufficient to occupy all his time. The numerous courts sitting in Chicago, and the vast amount of litigation carried on here, afford ample opportunity to obtain familiarity with all the kinds of practice. Students desiring to obtain positions in lawyers' offices in Chicago will find a recommendation from this school of great assistance. Such recommendations are given only to graduates. MOOT COURTS AND THESES. Moot Courts. For the purpose of training in the independent investigation of legal questions and in the preparation of briefs, moot courts are held weekly during the greater part of the year, in which the instructors preside as judges, and the members of the class prepare briefs and make oral arguments upon difficult cases given out beforehand. Each member of the second and third-year classes has an opportunity during the year to take part as counsel in these exercises. Application, however, must be made on or before October 1st. 1. �18 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. 2. Theses. It is the desire of the Faculty to encourage original research by students. Any member of the third-year class may therefore obtain credit to an amount not exceeding two term-hours by presenting a satisfactory thesis upon some legal topic approved by a member of the Faculty before October 1st. The thesis must be presented on or before May 1st of the year in which the student expects to graduate. It must be printed on typewriter or otherwise, and is to be kept permanently in the school. Thesis work should be begun in October. PRIZES. I. The Callaghan Prize-A prize of fifty dollars in books, to be selected from their own publications, the gift of Messrs. Callaghan and Company, of Chicago, will be awarded annually to the member of the graduating class having the best record for the entire course. In 1898 the Callaghan Prize was awarded to John Henry Sheldon Lee, A.B., of Waukegan. 2. The Towle Prize-A prize of fifty dollars, the gift of Mr. Henry Sargent Towle, of Chicago, was awarded in 1898 to the student having the best record for the first two years in the Law School. This prize was open only to students who had taken the regular work of the first and second years, and who were not candidates for graduation in 1898. It was won by Royal Joseph Whitlock, Ph.B., of Evanston, and Charles Byrd Elder, of Chicago, jointly, and was divided between them. 3. The Encyclopcedia Prize-A prize of a set of the Encyclopredia of Pleading and Practice, or a set of the first edition of the Encyclopredia of Law, or a set of the second edition of the Encyclopredia of Law, as the student may elect, the gift of The Edward Thompson Company, of Northport, Long Island, is offered to the student who shall write the best thesis on some subject assigned by the Faculty. Theses offered in competition for the Encyclopredia Prize must be presented at the office of the Law School on or before May 1st. In 1898 the Encyclopredia Prize was awarded to John Francis Cordeal, of McCook, Nebraska. 4. The Lawyers' Co-operative Publishing Company's Prize-In 1898 the Lawyers' Co-operative Publishing Company, of Rochester, N. Y., �THE LAW SCHOOL. offered as a prize for the best thesis upon the subject, "The Commerce Clause of the Federal Constitution as Affected by the Police Power of the States," a set, to July 1, 1898, of the Lawyers' Reports Annotated and Digest (value, $200). The prize was awarded to Francis Joseph Ross Mitchell, A. B., of Evanston. LIBRARY FACILITIES. By an arrangement which the School has made with the Law Institute of Chicago, students are allowed free access to its ample library, which is located in the Court House, only two blocks distant from the School. This library contains over 30,000 volumes, including the reports and statutes of the United States and all of the states in the Union, as well as the English, Scotch, and Irish reports and statutes, and a large collection of treatises and digests. For the use of this library, practicing lawyers, members of the Institute, pay $100 per share, besides an annual assessment of from $10 to $12 . Students also have the benefit, without charge, of the large Public Library of the city, which is located about the same distance from the School, and contains 188,000 volumes. They also have access, without charge, to the Newberry Library, which contains 117,000 volumes. In addition to the library of the Law Institute, the Law School has a library of its own, in which will be found the reports and text-books most needed for reference. All current American cases are to be found in the National Reporter system, to which the School subscribes. DEGREES. All degrees are conferred at the general University Commencement, on which occasion all candidates for degrees are required to present themselves, the Oxford cap and gown being worn as the official dress. I. BACHELOR OF LAWS. The degree of Bachelor of Laws will be conferred upon students who complete the regular three years' course. But (a) the candidate must have pursued at least one full year's �20 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. work as a resident student; and (b) the candidate must be credited, on the books of the School, with satisfactory examinations in courses of study amounting to ten hours a week for three years, or sixty semester-hours in all. All persons not admitted to advanced standing as candidates for a degree in less than three years must spend three years in the school and pay three years' tuition fees. A student who entered the School, however, at a time when its requirements for a degree were less than at present, will receive his degree upon complying with the requiremen,ts existing when he entered. Four grades are given for work done. The grades are as follows: A, excellent; B, satisfactory; C, unsatisfactory; D, failure. Not more than ten semester-hours of grade C can be counted by a student toward his degree without the unanimous consent of the Faculty; but grade A in any subject will balance grade C in any other subject having the same number of hours. II. MASTER'S DEGREE. The Master's Degree in Arts, Philosophy, Science or Letters will be conferred under the following conditions: A graduate of the College of Liberal Arts of this University, or of some other in which the requirements for the Bachelor's Degree in Arts, Philosophy, Science or Letters are equivalent to the requirements for the same degree at this University, may obtain the Master's degree at the same time with the degree of Bachelor of Laws by pursuing, with the sanction of the Faculty of Liberal Arts, advanced work in subjects approved by that Faculty, and obtaining credit in such work to the amount of twelve semester-hours. The courses of study may, in part or entirely, deal with legal subjects; but courses of legal study, in order to count for the degree, must be (a) of an advanced nature, (b) not otherwise counted for the degree of Bachelor of Laws, (c) pursued under the direction of a member of the Faculty of the Law School. Students in law intending to become candidates for the Master's degree must register for the same in the College �THE LAW SCHOOL. 21 of Liberal Arts and in the Law School on or before the first Monday in October of the year in which they expect to graduate, and must pay the diploma fee of ten 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. The following subjects have been approved by the Faculty of Liberal Arts, and work therein may be counted for the Master's degree: Constitutional Law, International Law, Administrative Law, Roman Law, Jurisprudence, Legal History. FEES. 1. The tuition fee for regular students is one hundred and five dollars a year, payable in three installments of thirtyfive dollars each, October 1st; January 10th, and April 1st. A rebate of five dollars is allowed to students who pay the entire tuition in advance on October 1st. This fee entitles a student to take only the regular work of the class in which he registers. 2. Fees for special students are calculated on substantially the above basis. For any course the fee is five dollars for each hour per week of classroom-work for a half-year. 3. All fees for special courses are payable at the beginni ng of each course. 4. Students taking other than the regular work of the class pay fees as special students for the courses taken. 5. A matriculation fee of five dollars is payable by all students at the time of entering the School. 6. A fee of ten dollars is charged for a diploma conferring the degree of Bachelor of Laws. This fee is payable June 1st, and is refunded if the student fa ils to graduate. 7. No reduction of fees is made to students who enter the School after the beginning of the academic year. 8. Students are permitted to take only those courses for which they pay tuition, but a student, while paying the regu lar fee of one hundred and five dollars, may attend without charge any course for which he has paid in any preceding year. �[. 22 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. 9.

ADMISSION TO THE BAR IN ILLINOIS. Inquiries in regard to Admission to the bar in I!linois should be addressed to Julius Rosenthal, Esq., Secretary of the State Board of Law Examiners, 1007 Fort Dearborn Bldg., Chicago, Ill. The following rules now govern admission to the bar in Illinois (Supreme Court of Illinois, Rule 39): RULE 39. There shall be appointed by this court a State Board of Law Examiners, to consist of five members of the bar of at least five years' standing-one from each Appellate Court district and one from the State at large-to hold, regulate, supervise, and control examinations for admission to the bar, and to examine and report upon the qualifications of applicants for admission, based upon admission to the bar .in another State or foreign country. Every application to this court for admission to the bar shall be made in term time, by motion in open court, based upon a report of said Board of Law Examiners. Each examiner shall act as a member of such board for a term of three years, except under the first appointment, which shall be for a term of one year for one, two years for two, and three years for the remaining two of said examiners, and until the appointment of their successors. Examinations shall be conducted by written or printed interrogatories, in whole or in part, and to be as nearly as possible uniform throughout the State; to be held at Ottawa on the first Tuesday of March; at Chicago the first Tuesday of May; at Springfield the first Tuesday of September, and at Mt. Vernon on the first Tuesday of December, in each year. Such examinations shall be held by the examiners as a body, a majority of whom shall constitute a quorum. Each applicant for admission must sustain a satisfactory examination upon the law of real and personal property, personal rights, contracts, evidence, common law and equity pleading, partnerships, bailments, negotiable instruments, principal and agent, principal and surety, domestic relations, wills, corporations, equity jurisprudence, 30 �THE LAW SCHOOL. 31 criminal law, and upon the principles of the constitutions of the State and of the United States, and legal ethics. The board shall certify to this court every person who shall pass a satisfactory examination, provided such person shall have in other respects complied with the rules regulating the licensing of attorneys, which fact shall he determined by said board before the examination. If. an applicant, on examination, should be rejected, he shall not again be admitted to an examination within six months from the date of such rejection, and shall file with the board proof that he has studied law for six months subsequent to the prior examination. Each applicant for admission to the bar, whether upon examination or admission in another State or foreign country, shall pay to said board, in advance, a fee of ten dollars, and shall present his affidavit, or that of some other reputable person for him, that he is of the age of twenty-one years or above, a resident of this State and a citizen of the United States, or has declared his intention of becoming a citizen thereof; also, a certified transcript of the record from a court of record of this State showing that the applicant is a person of good moral character, which transcript shall show that at least two reputable members of the bar practicing in the court in which the record is made, and whose names shall be given, appeared before said court and testified that the applicant was a reputable person and of good moral character. Every applicant, except those who apply for admission by virtue cf admission in another State or foreign country, shall present to the Board of Law Examiners, sati sfactory proof, in writing, by examination or otherwise, as the board may direct, that he has had a premliminary general education equivalent to that of a graduate of a high school in this State, and has pursued for the period of three years, during at least thirty-six weeks in each year, a course of law studies covering the subjects above enumerated, naming the law books studied, and that such law studies have been pursued in an e~tablished law school considered by the board to be in good standing, or under the tuition of one or more licensed lawyers; and that the applicant, if studying under such tuition, has submitted to regular and satisfactory examinations by such lawyer or lawyers during said period, upon each subject. Such proof shall consist of the affidavit of the applicant and the certificate of the Secretary or one of the professors of the law school, showing personal attendance at snch law school, or the certificate or certificates of the lawyer or lawyers under whose tuition such studies have been pursued; or if, in consequence of the death or absence of such lawyer or lawyers, hfr or their certificate cannot be procured, its place may be supplied �--,- 32 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. by the affidavit of any credible witness having knowlege of the facts. The course of study may be made up by attendance upon a law school for a portion of the time and under the direction and mpervision of one or more lawyers for the remainder of the time. The papers produced to the board of examiners in conformity with the foregoing rules shall not be deemed conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated, and if it shall come to the knowledge of said board that any person who has presented to said board such transcript, has imposed upon the court in which the record is made and is not in fact a person of good moral character, or that any certificate or affidavit is untrue, said board shall, after full investigation, certify their findings in that respect, together with the reasons therefor, to this court, with their certificate of qualification. Any fraudulent act or representation by an applicant in connection with his application for examination or admission shall be sufficient cause for the withholding of the license by this court, or for its revocation after it has been issued. Every applicant for admission to the bar upon a license or other voucher showing his admission as an attorney-at-law in another State or foreign country, must, in addition to the other proofs above required, present to the board such license duly certified, or a copy of the record of the court showing his admission to the bar, duly proved, as required by law for the authentication of the records of courts of sister states when offered in evidence in the courts of this State. Such license or voucher must confer the right to practice in the highest courts in such State or foreign country. Such applicant shall be admitted upon such license or voucher without examination by the board, if it appears to the court, by certificate of said board, that in the State or country in which the license was issued the requirements for admission to the bar were equal to those prescribed in this State, or that the applicant has been engaged in active practice for a period of five years in courts of record under such license. The board shall certify to this court persons entitled to admission by virtue of such admission to the bar in such other State or foreign country.

ASSOCIATION BUILDING, CHICAGO. ANNOUNCEMENT. Northwestern University comprises the following degreeconferring departments, each having a distinct Faculty of Instruction: THE COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS, THE MEDICAL SCHOOL, THE LA w SCHO<?L, THE SCHOOL OF PHARMAC~ THE DENTAL SCHOO~ THE WOMAN'S MEDICAL SCHOOL, THE SCHOOL OF Music, TH E SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY. The departments of the University are established in Chicago and Evanston, Illinois. The professional schools of Medicine, Law, Pharmacy, and Dentistry were established in the former place because of the advantages which a great city affords to those engaged in professional study. The College of Liberal Arts was established in Evanston because of the advantages to be derived from carrying on undergraduate study in a place somewhat removed from the distractions of a large city. The Law School was founded in 1859, there being at the time but three similar schools west of the Alleghany Mountains. For a long time it was known as the Union College of Law, but in 1891 it assumed its present name. The Law ·School offers to students a thorough training in the fundamental subjects of the law. Its students come 7 �8 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. from all parts of the country, and its course is arranged with a view to giving students that knowledge of the law which will be indispensable to them wherever they may practice. Special opportunities, however, are afforded for acquiring a knowledge of the law of Illinois, the peculiarities of which are pointed out in each course. Law students are admitted without charge to courses in the College of Liberal Arts. The consent of both faculties must be obtained, however, and not more than one subject may be taken in the college each year. SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS. The Law School has recently moved into new quarters in the Association Building-, 153 LaSalle Street, where it now occupies the thirteenth and fourteenth floors. The thirteenth floor is used for a lecture-room, offices, and students' rooms. The fourteenth floor is used as a library and reading-room. The opportunities for study at the rooms of the Law School have been greatly enlarged by an in.crease in the amount of room devoted to library and reading-room purposes, and by an increase in the number of books in the School library. The building is centrally located and is only two blocks from the Court House, where students have access to the Law Institute library as described on page 17. The central department of the Young Men's Christian Association of Chicago is situated in the same building with the Law School. The Association offers to members of the School all the advantages of a fine club at a very moderate price. A full statement of the opportunities which the Association affords to students may be obtained by addressing the Secretary of the Association. REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION. Persons applying for admission as regular students must answer the following requirements: 1. Age.-They must not be less than eighteen years of age. �9 THE LAW SCHOOL. 2 . Preliminary Education.-A candidate for a degree must have a preliminary general education equivalent to that of a graduate of a high school. For the proof of such education required, see page 34. 3. Time oj Entrance.-No applicant not corning from another law school will be admitted to the first-year class after the second week in January. This is because the courses of study are carefully graded and an acquaintance with earlier courses is necessary for the pursuit of the later ones. Those who do not enter by the beginning of January cannot work with profit to themselves, and are a hindrance to the progress of others. All students intending to enter the school are strongly urged to do so at the beginning o_f the year. The disadvantage of delay is great, especially to students who intend to practice law in Illinois. ADVANCED STANDING. For information in regard to advanced standing, see post, title "Degrees." SPECIAL STUDENTS. Persons not desiring to be 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 of all work done, and they may at any time enter as candidates for a degree, provided they are qualified under the above requirements. No special student may take more than twenty-five term-hours of work in one year without special permission from the Secretary. COURSE OF INSTRUCTION . FIRST YEAR.

The modes of instruction are varied, and depend more or less upon the individuality of the instructor and the character of the particular course. The study of cases is particularly emphasized, especially in the fundamental subjects of the law. The object of the instruction given is not merely to secure familiarity with the rules of law as actually enforced, but also to develop a legal mind, to train t'h e student in the art of legal reasoning, and to cultivate the faculty of sound legal common sense; in short, to prepare for the practical work of giving intelligent legal advice upon actual situations laid before an attorney by a client. It is desirable that the student should, if possible, devote his time exclusively to his work in the Law School. The·constantly increasing complexity of the law demands a thorough acquaintance with legal principles, which can be obtained only in a law school, and the work required of a student in this school is amply sufficient to occupy all his time. MOOT COURTS AND THESES. Moot Courts. For the purpose of training students in the independent investigation of legal questions and in the preparation of briefs, moot courts are held weekly during the greater part of the year, in which the instructors preside as judges, and the members of the class prepare briefs and make oral arguments upon difficult cases g iven out beforehand. Each member of the second and third year classes has an opportunity during the year to take part as counsel in these exercises. Application, however, must be m~de on or before October 1st. 2. Theses. It is the desire of the Faculty to encourage original research by students. Any member of the third-year class may therefore obtain credit to an amount not exceeding two term-hours by presenting a satisfactory thesis upon some legal topic approved by a member of the Faculty before October 1st. The thesis must be presented on or before May 1st I. �THE LAW SCHOOL. of the year in which the student expects to graduate. It must be printed on typewriter or otherwise, and is to be kept permanently in the school. Thesis work should be begun in October. PRIZES. r. Tke Callrrg·!tan Prize-A prize of fifty dollars in books, to be selected from their own publications, the gift of Messrs. Callaghan and Company, of Chicago, will be awarded annually to the member of the graduating class having the best record for the entire course. In 1899 the Callaghan Prize was awarded to Charles Byrd Elder, of Chicago. z. Tke Encyclopcedia Prize-A prize of a set of the Encyclopredia of Pleading and Practice, or a set of the first edition of the Encyclopredia of Law, or a set of the second edition of the Encyclopredia of Law, as the student may elect, the gift of The Edward Thompson Company, of Northport, Long Island, is offered to the student who shall write the best thesis on some subject assigned by the Faculty. Theses offered in competition for the Encyc!opredia Prize must be presented at the office of the Law School on or before May rst. In 1899 the Encydopredia Prize was awarded to Francis Joseph Ross Mitchell, A.B., of Evanston. LIBRARY FACILITIES. By an arrangement which the School has made with the Law Institute of Chicago, students are allowed free access to its ample library, which is located in the Court House, only two blocks distant from the School. This library contains over 30,000 volumes, including the reports and statutes of the United States and all of the states in tl;ie Union, as well as the English, Scotch, and Irish reports and statutes, and a large collection of treatises and digests. For the use of this library, practicing lawyers, members of the Institute, pay $roo per share, besides an annual assessment of from $ro to $12. Students also have the benefit, without charge, of the large Public Library of the city, which is located a few blocks from the School, and contains 188,000 volumes; and of the John �18 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. Crerar Library, which is devoted especially to scientific works. They also have access, without charg~, to the Newberry Library, which contains r r 7,000 volumes. In addition to the library of the Law Institute, the Law School has a library of its own, in which will be found the reports and- text-books most needed for reference. This library has recently been largely increased by gifts, and now contains nearly all English and American cases. DEGREES. All degrees are conferred at the general University Commencement, on which occasion all candidates for degrees are required to present themselves, the Oxford cap and gown being worn as the official dress. I. BACHELOR OF LAWS. The degree of Bachelor of Laws will be conferred upon students who comply with the following requirements: I.

Students who ha Ye studied law for one year, either in a college, a law school, or an attorney's office, may obtain a degree in two years. 2. Students who have satisfactorily completed two years' study in a law school in good standing may obtain a degree in one year. 3. Students who have satisfactorily compl e ted on e year's study in a law school in good standing, and who ha ve also studied law for one ye a r, either in a college, a law school, or an attorney's office, may become. candidates for a degree in one year by obtaining special permission from the Secretary. II. R egistration-Ca ndidates for a degree must register for work amounting to at least ten hours a week for each year. III. E xaminations-All candidates for a degree must pass examinations in courses amounting to sixty term-hours, the equivalent of ten hours a week for three years; but persons who have satisfactorily completed a two years' course of study in a law school in good standing will be excuse d from one-half of the examinations above required. Four grades are given for work done. The grades are as follows: A, excellent: B, satisfactory; C, un satisfactory; D, failure. A stu- �THE LAW SCHOOL. dent can count a course in which he obtains grade C only by obtaining grade A in another course or courses of equivalent amount, except that students taking examinations in this school, in the full amount of required work, may count courses in which they obtain grade C to the extent of one-sixth of such required work, or ten term -hours. II. MASTER'S DEGREE. The Master's degree in Arts, Philosophy, Science or Letters will be conferred under the following conditions: A graduate of the College of Liberal Arts of this Uni versity, or of some other in which the requirements for the Bachelor's degree in Arts, Philosophy, Science or Letters are equivalent to the requirements for the same degree at this University, may obtain the Master's degree at the same time with the degree of Bachelor of Laws by pursuing, with the sanction of the Faculty of Liberal Arts, advanced work in subjects approved by that Faculty, ahd obtaining credit in such work to the amount of twelve semester-hours. The courses of study may, in part or entirely, deal with legal subjects; but courses of legal study, in order to count for the degree, must be (a) of an advanced nature, (b) not otherwise counted for the degree of Bachelor of Laws, (c) pursued under the direction of a member of the Faculty of the Law School. Students in law intending to become candidates for the Master's degree must register for the same in the College of Liberal Arts and in the Law School on or before the first Monday in October of the year in which they expect to graduate, and must pay the diploma fee of ten 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. The following subjects have been approved by the Faculty of Liberal Arts, and work therein may be counted for the Master's degree: Constitutional Law, International Law, Administrative Law, Roman Law, Jurisprudence, Legal History. The following should be added to III. Examinations: Persons who have completed less than two years' study of law in a col lege or law school in good standing, may be excused from these examinations to such extent as shall be determined in each case by the Committee on Admissions. �20 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. GRADUATE WORK. This School offers no higher degree in law than that of Bachelor of Laws, which is now recognized in the best schools as an advanced degree.

(7) Moot Courts-The Moot Court work, fully de scribed els ewhere, is of specia l value to graduates of law schools on account of the training it affords in the preparation of briefs, and the oral argu· ment of legal questions. (8) Original Researc!t-The Faculty desire to encourage original research on the part of Ia w school graduates. Special arrangements may be made with members of the Faculty for the pursult of original investigation in any legal subj ect. FEES. 1.

The following rules now govern admission to the bar in lllinois (Supreme Court of Illinois, Rule 39): r RULE 39. There shall be appointed by this court a State Board of Law Examiners, to consist of five members of the bar of at least five years' standing-one from each Appellate Court district and one from the State at large-to hold, regulate, supervise, and control examinations for admission to the bar, and to examine and report upon the qualifications of applicants for admission, based upon admission to the bar in another State or foreign country. Every application to this court for admission to the bar shall be made in te1m time, by motion in open court, based upon a report of said Board of Law Examiners. Each examiner shall act as a member of such board for a term of three years, except under the first appointment, which shall be for a term of one year for one, two years for two, and three years for the remaining two of said examiners, and until the appointment of their successors. Examinations shall be conducted by written or printed interrogatories, in whole or in part, and to be as nearly as possible uniform throughout the State; to be held at Ottawa on the first Tuesday of March; at Chicago the first Tuesday of May; at Springfield the first Tuesday of September, and at Mt. Vernon on the first Tuesday of December, in each year. Such examinations shall be held by the examiners as a body, a majority of whom shall constitute a quorum. Each applicant for admission must sustain a satisfactory examination upon the law of real and personal property, personal rights, contracts, evidence, common law and equity pleading, partnerships, bailments, negotiable instruments, principal and agent, principal and surety, domestic relations, wills, corporations, equity jurisprudence, 31 �32 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. criminal law, and upon the principles of the constitutions of the State and of the United States, and legal ethics. The board shall certify to this court every person who shall pass a satisfactory examination. provided such person shall have in other respects complied with the rules regulating the licensing of attorneys, which fact shall be determined by said board before the examination. If an applicant, on examination. should be rejected, he shall not again be admitted to an examination within six months from the date of such rejection, and shall file with the board proof that he has studied law for six months subsequent to the prior examination. Each applicant for admission to the bar, whether upon examination or admission in another State or foreign country, shall pay to said board, in advance, a fee of ten dollars, and shall present his affidavit. or that of some other reputable person for him, that he is of th e age of twenty-one years or above. a resident of this State and a citizen of the United States, or has declared his intention of becoming a citizen thereof; also, a certified transcript of the record from a court of record of this State showing that the applicant is a person of good moral character, which transcript shall show that at least two reputable members of the bar practicing in the court in which the record is made, and whose names shall be given, appeared before said court and testified that the applicant was a reputable person and of good moral character. Every applicant, except those who apply for admission by virtue of admission in another State or foreign ·country. shall present to the Board of Law Examiners, sati sfactory proof, in writing, by examination or otherwise, as the board may direct, that he has had a premliminary 6 eneral education equivalent to that of a graduate of a high school in this State, and has pursued for the period of three years, during at least thirty-six weeks in each year, a course of law studies covering the subjects above enumerated, naming the law books studied. and that such law studies have been pursued in an e~tablished law school considered by the board to be in good standing, or under the tuition of one or more licensed lawyers; and that the applicant, if studying under such tuition, has submitted to regular and satisfactory examinations by such lawyer or lawyers during said period, upon each subject. Such proof shall consist of the affidavit of the applicant and the certificate of the Secretary or one of the professors of the law school, showing personal attendance at snch law school, or the certificate or certificates of the lawyer or lawyers under whose tuition such studies have been pursued; or if, in consequence of the death or absence of such lawyer or lawyers, his or their certificate cannot be procured. its place may be supplied �THE LAW SCHOOL. 33 by the affidavit of any credible witness having knowlege of the facts. The course of study may be made up by attendance upon a law school for a portion of the time and under the direction and £upervision of one or more lawyers for the remainder of the time. The papers produced to the board of examiners in conformity with the foregoing rules shall not be deemed conclusive evidence of the facts therein stated, and if it shall come to the knowledge of said board that any person who has presented to said board such transcript, has imposed upon the court in which the record is made and is not in fact a person of good moral character, or that any certificate or affidavit is untrue, said board shall, after full investigation, certify their findings in that respect, together with the reasons therefor, to this court, with their certificate of qualification. Any fraudulent act or representation by an applicant in connection with his application for examination or admission shall be sufficient cause for the withholding of the license by this court, or for its revocation after it has been issued.

ASSOCIATION BUILDING, CHICAGO. ANNOUNCEMENT. Northwestern University comprises the following degreeconferring departments, each having a distinct Faculty of Instruction: THE COLLEGE OF LIBERAL ARTS, THE MEDICAL SCHOOL, THE LA w SCHOOL, THE SCHOOL OF PHARMACY, THE DENTAL SCHOOL, THE WOMAN'S MEDICAL SCHOOL, THE SCHOOL OF Music, THE SCHOOL OF THEOLOGY. The Departments of the University are established in Chicago and Evanston, Illinois. The professional schools of Medicine, Law, Pharmacy, and Dentistry were established in the former place because of the advantages which a great city affords to those engaged in professional study. The College of Liberal Arts was established in Evanston because of the advantages to be derived from carrying on undergraduate study in a place somewhat removed from the distractions of a large city. The Law School was founded in 1859, there being at the time but three similar schools west of the Alleghany Mountains. For a long time it was known as the Union College of Law, but in 1891 it assumed its present name. The Law School offers to students a thorough training in the fundamental subjects of the law. Its students come 7 �8 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. from all parts of the country, and its course is arranged with a view to giving students that knowledge of the law which will be indispensable to them wherever they may prac tice. Special opportunities, however, are afforded for acquiring a knowledge of the law of Illinois, the peculiarities of which are pointed out in each course. Law students are admitted wilhout charge to courses in the College of Liberal Arts. The consent of both faculties must be obtained, however, and not more than one subject may be taken in the coliege in each year. SCHOOL ACCOMMODATIONS. The Law School has recently moved into new quarters in the Association Building, r 53 La Salle street, where it now occupies the thirteenth and fourteenth floors. The thirteenth floor is used for a lecture-room, offices, and students' rooms. The fourteenth floor is used as a libr,flry and reading-room. The opportunities for study at the rooms of the Law School have been greatly enlarged . by an increase in the amount of room devoted to library and reading-room purposes, and by an increase in the number _o f books in the School library. The building is centrally located and is only two blocks from the Court House, where students have access to the Law Institute library as described on pag e 16. The central department of the Young Men's Chr.istian Association of Chicago is situated in the same building with the L aw School. The Association offers to members of the School all th e advantages of a good club at a very moderate price. A full statement of the opportunities which the Asso ciation affords to students may be obtained by addressing the Secretary of the Association. �THE LAW SCHOOL. 9 REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION. Persons applying for admission as regular students must answer the following requirements: Age.-They must not be less than eighteen years of age. Preliminary Education.-A candidate for a degree must have a preliminary general education equivalent to that of a graduate of a high school. For the proof of such education required, ~ee page 34. 3. Time of Entrance.-No applicant not coming from another law school will be admitted to.. the first-year class after the second week in January, for the reason that the courses of study are carefully graded and an acquaintance with earlier courses is necessary for the pursuit of the later ones. Those who do not enter by the beginning of J anµary cannot work with profit to themselves, and are a hindrance to the progress of others. All students intending to enter the school are strongly urged to do so at the beginning of the year. The disadvantage of delay is great, especially to students who intend to practice law in Illinois. I. 2. ADVANCED STANDING. For information in regard to advanced standing, see post, title "Degrees." SPECIAL STUDENTS. Persons not desiring to be 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 of all work done, and they may at any time enter as candidates for a degree, provided they are qualified under the above requirements.. No special student may take more than twenty-five term-hours of work in one year without special permission from the Secretary. COURSE OF INSTRUCTION . FIRST YEAR.

COURSES NOT COUNTED TOW ARD A DEGREE. Legal Ethics- Two lectures. Trade-llfarks and Copyrights-Si x lectures. General Review-Thirty-six lectures. Judg e GROSSCUP. Mr. Bo1rn. Mr. DENT . SYSTEM OF STUDY AND INSTRUCTION. The modes of instruction are varied, and depend more or less upon the individuality of the instructor and the character of the particular course. The study of cases is particularly emphasized, especially in the fundamental subjects of the law. The object of the instruction given is not merely . to secure familiarity with the rules of law as actually enforced, but also to develop a legal mind, to train the student in the art of legal reasoning, and to cultivate the faculty of sound legal common sense; in short, to prepare for the practical work of giving intelligent legal advice upon actual situations laid before an attorney by a client. It is desirable that the student should, if possible, devote his time exclusively to his work in the Law School. The constantly increasing complexity of the law demands a thorough acquaintance with legal principles, which can be obtained only in a law school, and the work required of a student in this schoo l is amply sufficient to occupy all his time. MOOT COURTS AND THESES. r. Moot Courts. For the purpose of training students in the independent investigation of legal questions and in the preparation of briefs, moot courts a.re held weekly during the greater part of the year, in which the instructors preside �NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY . as judges, and the members of the .class prepare briefs and make oral arguments upon difficult cases given out before hand. Each member of the second and third year classes has an opportunity during the year to take part as counsel in these exercises. Application, however, must be made on or before October 1st. 2. Tlzeses. It is the desire of the Faculty to encourage orig inal research by students. Any member of the third-year class may therefore obtain credit to an amount not exceeding two term-hours by presenting a satisfactory thesis upon some legal topic approved by a member of the Faculty before October 1st. The thesis must be presented on or before May 1st of the year in which the student expects to graduate. It must be printed on typewriter or otherwise, and is to be kept permanently in the school. Thesis work should be begµn in October. PRIZES. I. T!te Callag!tan Prize-A prize of fifty dollars in books, to be selected from their own publication"s, the gift of Messrs. Callaghan and Company, of Chicago, will be a warded annually to the memb e r o f the graduating class having the best record for the entire course. In 1900 the Caltaghan Prize was awarded to John Ambrose Gearon, A.B., of Chicago. LIBRARY FACILITIES. By an arrangement which the School has made with the Law Institute of Chicago, students are allowed free access to its ample library, which is located in the Court House, only two blocks distant from the School.

REVISED COURSES OF INSTRUCTION FOR 1902-1903. In addition to the courses of instruction enumerated in the May number of the QUARTERLY BULLETIN, eight other courses have since been provided for the year 1902- 1903, namely, in Mortgages, Code Pleading, Municipal Corporations, Damages, Insurance, Admiralty, Judgments and Auxiliary Legal Remedies, and Patents of Invention. The course on Patents is more fully described on page 12 of this number of the BULLETIN. Besides the creation of these new courses, the curriculum for 1902-1903 has been strengthened by the expansion of certain existing courses; in particular, Property (increased from eight to twelve term hours), Conflict of Laws (increased from two to four term hours), Constitutional Law (increased from three to four term hours), Persons (increased from one to two term hours), and Suretyship (increased from one to two term hours).

Professor HYDE. * These three form a single course; the first part is open to all students; the second and third parts are open to students of the second and third years and to special students, but cannot be taken separately. The number of lectures is equivalent to two hours a week through the year, and work in the course will therefore be credited as four term hours. �8 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. Municipal Corporations-Two hours a week. Smith's Cases on Municipal Corporations. Professor SCHOFIELD. Partnership-Two hours a week. Ames' Cases on Partnership. Professor LITTLE. The total number of term hours offered for selection in this curriculum is one hundred and twelve, the equivalent of fifty-six hours a week through the year; not counting courses given in alternate years and omitted in 1902-1903, the total number of term hours is one hundred and three, or fifty-one hours a week through the year. The courses being graded as carefully as possible between the three year-groups, no first-year student may take courses in the second or third year-groups without special permission; and no second-year student may take courses in the third-year group (except Constitutional Law and Patents of Invention) without special permission; and a third-year student taking the courses of Conveyancing and Property III must already have taken the courses of Property I and II. But any regular student may take any course offered in the group of the year for which he is entered, or any course not already taken by him in a preceding year. COURSES OF LECTURES NOT COUNTING FOR A DEGREE. Trade Marks and Copyrights-Six lectures. Mr. BOND. General Re'l!iew- Five hours a week for a month; given twice, in September and April, prior to the State examination for admission to the bar. Mr. DENT. international Law and Polz"cy-One or more lectures. Judge GROSSCUP. Legal Eth£cs-Five lectures. Mr. FOLLANSBEE. SPECIAL TRAINING IN LEGAL WRITING AND SPEAKING AND IN THE PRACTICE OF THE LAW. In addition to the systematic instruction in the body of the law, as represented in the foregoing curriculum, an effort is made to provide adequate training in the practical use of legal knowledge and discipline, as well as 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: I. Pleadings-In the courses on Common Law Pleading and Equity Pleading, in addition to the systematic course of study, the student is given exercises .in the drafting of the various kinds of pleadings. �THE LAW SCHOOL. 9 2. Conveyancing-In the course on conveyancing the chief material of the work consists in a series of selected abstracts of title, some thirty-five in all, representing the greatest variety of documents and proceedings involving property rights. A separate copy of each abstract is placed in the hands of every member of the class and a detailed study is made of the various matters of form and substance from the conveyancer's point of view. 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 alrea dy taken the courses Property I and IL 3. Practice Court-In the several courses of lectures on Procedure and Practice a systematic and detailed survey is taken of the rules of law. In the Practice Court an opportunity is given to the third-year students to become practically familiar with these rules by the personal application of them in litigation managed by the student himself. The Court's sessions 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; in the meantime, between the sessions, numbers of 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 other members of the class are required to attend and make notes and reports of the work being done, so that each one obtains some benefit also from what is done in his presence by others. A faithful observance of the work of this course ought to give the graduate such an experience in using his legal knowledge as will assist him . materially to start in his profession with greater readiness and practical facility. The systematic pursuit of such work under. an experienced instructor obtains for the student the same results as a period of desultory service in a law office, and is more economical in time and more thorough and accurate in quality. A copy of the printed Rules of the Practice Court will be mailed to any one upon request. 4. Practical Work wi(h Clients-In 1902-1903 the School expects to resume, on a larger scale, its share of an undertaking in which it made a temporary beginning a few years ago-the charitable work of a Legal Aid Bureau. This Bureau will be conducted by an experienced member of the Bar, having among his assistants a limited number of qualified members of the third-year class. It will meet every day, either at the School or elsewhere, and attend to the cases of persons applying for aid. Its object is to protect from injury some of the hundreds of persons who, in a great metropolis like Chicago, are daily suffering wrong and oppression because they are too poor to obtain good legal advice. It is essentially a charitable institution; �IO NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. but the experience which it gives to those advanced students who take part in it is of inestimable value as an introduction to the practical work of applying their knowledge and dealing with clients. 5. Legal Tactics- In 1902-1903, on every Monday evening until April, an address will be given, by some well-known member of the Bar, upon some topic of practice in which he has had special experience and in which the communication of personal experience is of special value as a guide to others. The programme of this useful course is more fully stated in this number of the BULLETIN at p. 15. 6. Public Speaking. The function of a lawyer as the persuasive adviser and leader of men needs for its development some training in oral argument and debate, use of the voice, conduct of meetings and the like. Such a course of training will be offered in 1902-1903, in the following three parts: (a) Argument and Debate. An exercise of two hours once in two weeks through the first term, in a class of two sections, meeting alternately, will be conducted by Professor J. SCOTT CLARK, of the College of Liberal Arts. (b) Voice Training-. An exercise of two hours once a week through the first term, in a class of two sections, meeting alternately, will be conducted by one of the Faculty of the Cumnock School of Oratory. · (c) Parliamentary Practice. An exercise of two hours, once in two weeks through the first term, will be conducted by Professor JOSEPH W. ROBERT, of the Robert School of Parliamentary Law. This will be followed, it is expected, during the second term, by the organization of a Municipal Council, in which the members may put to use the training obtained in the foregoing three subjects. This course in Public Speaking will be open to all students on payment of the tuition fee, and may be taken a second or a third time without further charge. The Towle prize, awarded for proficiency in public speaking, is open to those only who have taken this course. 7. Thesis. It is the desire of the Faculty to encourage original research by students. Any member of the third-year class may therefore obtain credit to an amount not exceeding two term hours by presenting a satisfactory thesis upon some legal topic approved by a member of the Faculty before December 1st. The thesis must be presented on or before May 15 of the year in which the student expects to graduate; it must be printed on the typewriter or otherwise, and is to be kept permanently in the school; the work should be begun not later than December. The Lee prize is awarded for the best thesis. �THE 'LAW SCHOOL. II 8. Moot Courts and Briefs. For the purpose of training students in the independent investigation of legal questions and in the preparations of briefs, Moot Courts are held weekly during the greater part of the year, in which the professors preside as judges, and the members of the class prepare briefs and make oral arguments upon difficult cases given out beforehand. Each member of the second and third year classes has an opportunity to take part as counsel in these exercises. Application must be made on or before October 15. The student may take the work in Moot Court either in his second or in his third year, or in both years, and will receive credit for one term hour for work satisfactorily done therein. TUITION FEES. The tuition fee for regula r students is one hundred and five dollars a year, payable in three installments of thirty-five dollars each, October r, January ro, and April r. A rebate of five dollars is allowed to students who pay the entire tuition in advance on October I. Special students are charged at the rate of five dollars for each hour of class-room work for a half year. The fee for the course in Patent Law is twenty-five dollars. �III. NEW COURSES IN PATENT LAW. The School announces for 1902-3 a course in Patent Laws, which is intended to furnish as thorough and detailed training in that subject as could be desired by one about to follow the practice of Patent Law as a specialty. Many schools provide, as our own has done this year, a short cou rse consisting of a few lectures; but no other school, as far as can be ascertained (with the exception of one other school in Washington, D. C.), has yet attempted to furnish a course lasting through the year a nd capable of fitting the student for immediate usefulness in the office of a patent la w practitioner. That such a course is needed, there can be little doubt. Most young men who destine themselves for that branch of the profession have hitherto gone directly into a practitioner's office without seeking a lawschool training, partly because of the belief that the study of the ordinary branches of the law is of no service to them, and partly because no special training in patent law was offered in schools. But it is to-day recognized by the best practitioners of the patent law that the pursuit of their specialty, like that of any other, should be founded on a thorough general training in the law, and that the omission of it narrows one's capacity to make the best use of his knowledge in his specialty. This advice they are now emphatically giving. Accordingly, it only remains that the law school shall do its part and provide that systematic training in the specialty of Patent Law which the subject is unquestionably worthy of. The course here offered is therefore intended to meet the needs of those students who, having laid the foundation of two years' study of the fundamental subjects, are desirous in the third year of preparing directly for taking up the special branch of Patent Law. For such students the courses in Patent Law, Federal Jurisdiction, Corporations, Conflict of Laws, and Constitutional Law would form a well-arranged group. The course is also intended to meet the needs of those who, having begun service in a patent practitioner's office, are feeling the disadvantage .of lacking a system·a tic survey of their special subject and would appreciate the usefulness of a thorough course taking up the various topics in full detail, and including not only a study of principles and of legal decisions, but also a systematic drill in the 12 t l �THE LAW SCHOOL. practical work of patent soliciting and patent legislation. There are probably several scores of such young men, scattered through the patent practitioners' offices in Chicago, and their number is constantly increasing. It is desirable that something should be done on their behalf, and on that of many now in other cities, who would come where they believed that th ey could obtain systematic instruction in their work. Chicago is becoming more and more a center for the investment of capital in manufactures and therefore in patent rights; and the volume of patent litigation carried on in this Federal Circuit is known to be growing relatively greater every year. It is fitting that a thorough training in the subject of Patent Law should now be furnished in this city. There will now be practitioners here (and their number will doubtless increase) who would not admit to their service a young _man who had not fitted himself, by the pursuit of such a course, to take up with some fitness the work of their offices. With these two main purposes in view, the course ·has been arranged in three parts, each to be in charge of a member of the Patent bar peculiarly qualified for it. Brief biographical sketches of the gentlemen appointed to this work have been printed on p. 19 in. this number of the BULLETIN. The arrangement of the course is novel and has been fixed after careful consideration of the scope and requirements of the subject. It is as follows: 1 l Course I. Professor LINTHICUM. Five or six lectures. General Survey of Patent Law, covering the following topics: Patentability, constitutional and statutory provisions, the principle ·of Invention, negative rules of definition, the patent system of the United States and history of the statutes, claims for patents, joint applications, interterences, the title to patent rights, warranty, assignment, coownership, cancellation, records, remedies, infringement, general considerations affect_ing the practice of patent law. Course II. Professor DYRENF0RTH. Twenty lectures and exercises. Patent soliciting, including introductory lecture, drafting of claims from dictation, study of Commissioners' decisions, prosecution of claims and issuing of patents, drafting of claims from models and drawings, drafting of assignments and other documents, foreign patents, lectures and practical exercises in all matters connected with the soliciting of patent rights. Course III. Professor BARNETT. Forty lectures and exercises, covering the following topics: I. Creation of the Patent Rig ht. A. The Inventor' s Act: r. Art or process; 2. Invention; joint and sole inventors; 3. Novelty; prior knowledge or use; prior publication; prior application; definition �NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. of priority; identity of anticipating process or machine; 4. Utility; 5. Abandonment, actual and constructive. B. The Government's Grant: r. Trade secrets at common law; 2. Scope of the statutory monopoly as to persons and territory; 3. Duration of the patent; 4. Patent right as a property right; 5. Patent right as embodied in the document of grant; application and specification; construction of the grant; disclaimer; reissue; extension. II. ScojJeo.f the Patent Rig lit, as Determining Infringement: 1. Arts and processes; 2. Machines and manufactures; principle of identity of operation; of transposition of parts; of omission of ingredients; of substitution of equivalents; of alteration of form; 3. Compositions of matter; 4. Designs. III. Trans.fer o.f the Patent Right: I. Assignment; who may assign; mode of assignment; equitable assignment; warranties; 2. Grant; 3. Execution or decree; 4. Bankruptcy; 5. Death; 6. Rights of co-owners; 7. Licenses; scope; form; warranty; forfeiture; assignability; estoppel. IV. R emedies andProcedure: A_. Jurisdiction; State and Federal Courts; Court of Claims; B. Parties; C. Actions at law; form of action; declaration and plea; notice; defenses; court and jury; judgment and appeal; D. Actions in equity; billplea; answer; demurrer; defenses; proofs; decree; accounting; in; junction; appeal; certiorari; mandate; E. Interference proceedings in courts and patent office. These topics will be studied with a collection of leading cases, and the appropriate documents will be drafted and criticized. The courses will be given at the following hours: Courses I. and II., during the first six or seven weeks of October and November, five times a week, from Monday to Friday, at II:45-12:45: Course III., during the remainder of the year to May, three times a week, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, at 4:45-5 :45. The course will thus be slightly more than the equivalent of four term hours (or two hours a week for a year); and the fee for special students taking this course only will be twenty-five dollars. For regular members of the third year or second year classes, no extra fee will be charged. A copy of the Patent Office Regulations will be provided gratis for each member of the class. The Library of the School contains the Patent Commissioners' Decisions, the Federal Reports, and other necessary material for study. It is hoped that this course will accomplish something toward putting the systematic study of Patent Law upon that high level of a scholarly pursuit which it deserves to occupy. �IV. NEW COURSE IN LEGAL TACTICS. The course of addresses on Legal Tactics, announced in the May number of this BULLETIN, promises to be of the greatest interest and usefulness, not only to the advanced students in the School, but also to the younger members of the Bar, whose attendance also is invited and expected; nor would the course be without value to many older members whose experience has not happened to lead them frequently into some of the particular branches here to be discoursed of by specialists. The following more detailed announcement has already been sent to the members of the Bar who are to give the addresses: "1.-OBJECT OF THE COURSE. "Every branch of litigation requires in the practitioner an element of experience which is far over and above the actual knowledge of the law, and is equally important for effective work. There are customs and conditions which override or vary the law in its actual enforcement; there are statutory clauses which have become dead letters, and there are also important provisions which are not generally known; there are practices and expedients which are not based upon anything in print; and there are tactics that are not to be discovered by any amount of research. All these things become known by slow and painful experience to the practitioners who have had frequent opportunities to work in special branches of litigation, and they remain unknown to others whose practice leads them only occasionally, in those directions. The fruits of these special lines of experience ought not to perish with the individual; and the members of the legal profession have never shown a selfish inclination to conceal their knowledge from each other and to perpetuate the monopoly of their individual experiences. The object of this course of addresses is to make this body of unwritten experiences available for the rising generation at the bar, and in particular for the advanced students at this School. Each address is supposed to represent the best attainable wisdom upon the chief points of practice and tactics in some special branch of litigation, and to epitomize the net result of long experience therein. "2.-PLAN OF THE COURSE. "The address is not supposed primarily to expound the letter of the law, but to comment on the tactics and practice which experience 15 �16 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. shows are worth adopting in applying the law. A knowledge of law on the subject is assumed. Nevertheless, to facilitate a more intelligent appreciation of the address, each lecturer is requested to send to the Secretary of the School, one week beforehand, a list of such statutes, decisions or chapters of tre at ises, as seem to him desirable for prior perusal by those who are interested. The lecturer may assume a general knowledge of law on the part of the hearers. If an opportunity is given for questions and answers, it will be appreciated. No formal written lecture is expected; an informal address, with or without notes, wou ld be appropriate. "The list of topics fo r 1902-1903 will include the following: Selection and Management of the Jury; Mechanics' Liens; Municipal Ordinances; Condemnation Proceedings; Personal Injuries; Corporation Organization; Special Assessments; Chancery Practice; Office Organization and Management of Clients; Shipping Practice; Suits Against Municipal Corporations; Examination of Witnesses; Fire Insurance; Criminal Practice; Probate Practice; Appellate Court Practice; Mortgage Foreclosures; Debt Collections; Federal Practice; Brief and Argument Before Supreme Court; Landlord and Tenant; Justice Courts ; Conservators and Guardians; General Taxation; Public Records and Clerks' Duties; and Trying a case for Review on Appeal. "3.-SCHEDULE. "The addresses will be given on the following Monday evenings, commencing promptly at 8 o'clock: OCTOBER. NOVEMBER. DECEMBER. JANUARY . FEBRUARY. MARCH, 6 l 2 5 9 3 12 16 IO 8 13 9 20 16 17 15 19 23 27 25 23 "Each lecture will be announced, with the name of the lecturer, during one week beforehand in the Daily Law Bulletin, and will be open to all members of the Bar. It is expected that a stenographic report of the proceed ings of each evening will be taken, and a copy of this will be furnished to the lect urer." The precise dates for the several topics have not yet been arranged, but the following members of the Bar have already accepted appointments to the to pics named: Selection and Management of the Jury-W. J. Hynes, Esq. Law Office Organization and Work-M. Lester Coffeen, Esq. (of the firm of Tenney, McConnell, Coffeen & Harding); Mitchell D. Follansbee, Esq. (of the firm of Follansbee & Follansbee).

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF PRESIDENT JAMES AND REAPPOINTED MEMBERS OF THE FACULTY. In the May number of the BULLETIN were printed biographical sketches of Professor Hurd, as well as of Professors Greeley, Fletcher, Fuller, and J. H. S. Lee, recent appointees to the faculty, and in the foregoing pages, of the remaining recent appointees. It seems proper here to complete the chronicle with biographical sketches of those members of the faculty who were at prior times appointed and will continue to serve in the school. The following names are arranged in the order of seniority of appointment, except those of the President and the Dean: On February 7, 1902, EDMUND JANES JAMES, Ph.D., LLD., was elected President of the University, to fill the vacancy existing since the resignation of Henry Wade Rogers, LL.D., in June, 1900; and entered upon duties of his office on April 1, 1902. The career of the new president is as follows: He was born in Jacksonville, Illinois, in 1855; graduated from the Illinois State Normal School, and pursued a part of his college course at Northwestern University and at Harvard University, then proceeded to Germany for the study of Political and Social Science, and in 1877 obtained the degree of Ph. D. at the University of Halle. In 1878 he was principal of the High School of Evanston, Illinois; and in 1879-1882 principal of the Model High School at Normal, Illinois. At the · founding of the Wharton School of Finance and Economy, in Philadelphia, he was called to be professor of public finance and administration, and continued there until 1896; meanwhile he was also made professor of political and social science in the University of Pennsylvania.

As an educator and ;idministrator no university officer in the country has had a broader experience than Dr. James; and his distinguished reputation, in Europe as well as in this· country, marks him as pre-eminently adapted to the post he now fills. Under his energetic and progressive administration the University is assured of rapid improvement and extension in every department.

Persons applying for admission as regular students must answer the following requirements: I. Age.-They must not be less than eighteen years of age. z. Preliminary Education.-A candidate for a degree must have _ a preliminary general education equivalent to that of a graduate of a high school. For the proof of such education required, see page 33. 3. Time of Entrance.-No applicant not coming from another law school will be admitted to the first-year class after the second week in January, for the reason that the courses of study are carefully graded and an acquaintance with earlier courses is necessary for the pursuit of the later ones. Those who do not enter by the beginning of January cannot work with profit to themselves, and are a hindrance to the progress of others. All students intending to enter the school are strongly urged to do so at the beginning of the year. The disadvantage of delay is great, especially to students who intend to practice law in Illinois. ADVANCED STANDING. The requirements in regard to advanced standing, are explained under the title "Degrees," on page 20. SPECIAL STUDENTS. Persons not desiring to be 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 of all work done, and they may at any time enter as candidates for a degree, provided they are qualified under the above requirements. No special student may take more than twenty-five term -hours of work in one year without special permission from the Dean. 12 �THE LAW SCHOOL. COURSES OF INSTRUCTION.

Mr. Mr. Mr. BOND. LINTHICUM. Mr. DENT. FOLLANSBEE. SPECIAL TRAINING IN LEGAL WRITING, SPEAKING, AND PRACTICE. In addition to the above described courses of systematic instruction in the body of the law, the following special training is offered in certain important details of legal writing, speaking, and practice, which help materially to equip the accomplished lawyer. I. Thesis. It is the desire of the Faculty to encourage original research by students. Any member of the third-year class may therefore obtain credit to an amount not exceed,ing two term-hours by presenting a satisfactory thesis upon some legal topic approved by a member of the Faculty before October ISt. The thesis must be presented on or before May rst of the year in which the student expects to graduate; it must be printed on the typewriter or otherwise, and is to be kept permanently in the school ; the work should be begun- in October. The Lee prize, noted on p. 20, is awarded for the best thesis. 2. Moot Courts and Briefs. For the purpose of training students in the independent investigation of legal questions and in the preparations of briefs, Moot Courts are held weekly during the greater part of the year, in which the instructors preside as judges, and the members of the class prepare briefs and make oral arguments upon difficult cases given out beforehand. Each member of the second and third year classes has an opportunity to take part as counsel in these exercises. Application must be made on or before October 1st. The student may take the work in Moot Court either in his second or in his third year, or in both years, and will receive credit for one term-hour for work satisfactorily done therein. 3. Practice Court. In 1902-1903, a Practice Court, conducted according to the most approved methods, will be open to members of the second-year and the third-year classes. In this Court the procedure in various sorts of litigation will be practically exemplified, �THE LAW SCHOOL. oy taking the student through all the stages of a suit at law, requiring him to draft papers, make motions, conduct trials, and otherwise familiarize himself, before graduation, with the machinery of a Court in actual operation. The public sessions of the Court will be once a week through the year. 4. Practical Work witk Clients. In 1902-1903, the School expects t o resume, on a larger scale, its share of an undertaking in which it made a temporary beginning a few years ago~the charitable work of a Legal Aid Bureau. This Bureau will be conducted by an experienced member of the Bar, having among his assistants a limited number of qualified members of the . third-year class. It will meet every day, either at the School or elsewhere, and attend to the cases of persons applying for aid. Its object is to protect from injury some of the hundreds of persons who, in a great metropolis like Chicago, are daily suffering wrong and oppression because they are too poor to obtain good legal advice. It is essentially a charitable institution; but the experience which it gives to those advanced students who take part in it is of great value as an introduction to the practical work of applying their knowledge and dealing with clients. 5. Public Speaking. The function of a lawyer as the persuasive adviser and leader of men needs for its development some training in oral argument and debate, use of the voice, conduct of meetings and the like. Such a course of training will be offered in 1902·1903, in the following three parts: (a) Argument and Debate. An exercise of two hours, once a week throughout the year, in a class of two sections, meeting alternately, will be conducted by Professor J. SCOTT CLARK of the College of Liberal Arts. (b) Voice Training. An exercise of two hours, once a week through the first term , in a class of two sections, meeting alternately, will be conducted by one of the Faculty of the Cumnock School of Oratory. (c) Parliamentary Practice, An exercise of two hours, once in two weeks through the first term, will be conducted by Professor JOSEPH W. ROBERT, of the Robert School of Parliamentary Law. This course in Public Speaking will be open to all students on payment of the fee noted on page 23, and may be taken a second or a third time without fee. The Towle prize, noted on page 20, awarded for proficiency in public speaking, is open to those only who have taken this course. 6. Special Addresses on Legal Practice. In 1902-1903, on one evening in alternate weeks, an address will be given, by some well known member of the Bar, upon some topic of practice in which he �NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. has had special experience and in which the communication of personal experience is of special value as a guide to others. These addresses will deal with the practice on such topics as the following: Eminent Domain, Personal Injuries, Municipal Ordinances,Justices' Courts, Special Assessments, Criminal Courts, Corporate Organization, Insurance Policies, Chattel Mortgage Foreclosures, Juries, Making Up a Trial Record, etc., etc. 7. Special Addresses on Commercial Methods. In 1902-1903, on one evening in alternate weeks, an address will be given, by some representath·e citizen of Chicago, on the methods of business in the leading departments of commerce and industry. The purpose of this course is to do something towards removing that ignorance which most young lawyers exhibit of the actual operations of business upon which they are asked to give legal advice, and to stimulate students to greater efforts to equip themselves more adequately in that respect. The addresses will deal with their subjects in the most concrete and practical manner, and will describe the customary documents, books, and detailed operations of such special branches as the following: Board of Trade, Banks, Railroads, Stock Exchange, Insurance, Wholesalers and Jobbers (in various lines of goods), Exporters and Importers, Real Estate Loans, etc., etc. SYSTEM OF STUDY AND INSTRUCTION . . The modes of instruction are varied, and depend more or less upon the individuality of the instructor and the character of the particular course. The study of cases under the instructor's direction is in almost every course the chief basis of the student's work. The object of the instruction given is not merely to secure familiarity with the rules of law as actually enforced, but also to develop a legal mind, to train the student in the art of leg:fl reasoning, and to cultivate the faculty of sound legal common sense; in short, to prepare for the practical work of giving intelligent legal advice upon actual situations laid before an attorney by a client. It is desirable that the student should, if possible, devote bis time exclusively to his work in the Law School. The constantly increasing complexity of the law demands a thorough acquaintance with legal principles, which can be obtained only in a law school, and the work required of a student in this school is amply sufficient to occupy all his time. Many students find places in lawyers' offices during the �THE LAW SCHOOL. third year in the School; but the student is advised to delay this until after completing the course, not only because of its interference with his thorough preparation in the law, but also because the tendency among practicing lawyers is increasing to prefer, for assistants, those who have graduated and are admitted to the Bar, and to pay adequate compensation to such persons only. The experience to be gained in the school's Legal Aid Bureau and Practice Court is expected to supply more effectively the experience sought in a lawyer's office. The School endeavors to find desirable places for its students upon graduation, and those who graduate with credit are fairly certain to be thus provided for. The compensation given is subject to no general and accepted scale, but in most of the desirable offices it ranges from $5 to $15 a week during the first year of service. LIBRARY FACILITIES. The School's own Library contains over 3,000 volumes. This includes (r) the treatises most needed for reference; (2) all the English reports since 1863; (3) a series of reprints, now in C<:lUrse of publication, of all other English Reports; (4) the complete series of the National Reporters containing the decisions of all the Supreme Courts of the States and Territories; (5) the Official Reports of the Courts of Illinois, the United States, and the other States whose decisions are most needed for the study of their local law. By Sept. r, 1902, some 7,000 more volumes will be added, including the remaining American reports. Bllt the amplest facilities for extended research are placed at the disposition of students by the courtesy of the Chicago Law Institute, located in the County Building, two blocks from the School premises. Each student is given, without charge, a certificate entitling him to the use of this Library. It contains nearly 40,000 volumes, and in extent of resources ranks among the first half-dozen in the country. Students have also the benefit, without charge, of the Chicago Public Library, located three blocks from the new �NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. 20 quarters of the School, and containing' 276,000 volumes; of the Crerar Library, devoted especially to scientific works, and containing 76,00·0 volumes; and of the Newberry Library, containing 250,000 ;olumes. PRIZES. , The Towle Prize-A prize of fifty dollars, the gift of Henry S. Towle, Esq., Chairman of the Law School Committee of the Board of Trustees, will be awarded for proficiency in public speaking, on conditions to be announced later. 2. The Lee Prize-A prize of fifty dollars, the gift of Blewett Lee, Esq., formerly professor in the School, will be awarded in 19021903, to that member of the graduating class who presents the best thesis; but the Faculty reserve the right not to award this prize if no thesis should be presented having sufficient merit to justify this distinction. 3. The Callaghan Prize-A prize of fifty dollars in books to be selected from their own publications, the gift of Messrs. Callaghan . and Company, of Chicago,- will be awarded annually to the member of the graduating class having the best record in scholarship for th.e entire course. In 1901 the Callaghan Prize was awarded to Arthur Thomas Galt, A. B., of Chicago. I. DEGREES. All degrees are conferred at the general University Commencement. On this occasion all candidates for degrees are required tb present themselves in person, the Oxford cap and gown being worn as the official dress. I. BACHELOR OF LAWS.

Such students will be recommended as, in the judgment of the Faculty, are of fit character and have complied with the following requirements: I. Attendance-Regular attendance for three years is required of all students with the following exceptions: 1. Students who have studied law for one year, either in a college, a law school, or an attorney's office, may obtain a degree in two years. �THE LAW SCHOOL. 21 2.

Students who have satisfactorily completed one year's study in a law school in good standing, and who have also studied law for one year, either in a college, a law school, or an attorney's office, may become candidates for a degree in one year by obtaining special permission from the Dean. II. R egistration-Candidates for a degree must register for work amounting to at least ten hours a week for each year. III. Course of Study- All candidates for a degree must pass ex· aminations in courses amounting to sixty term-hours, the equivalent of courses of study of ten hours a week for three years. But persons who have satisfactorily completed a two years' course of study in a law school in good standing will be excused from one-half of the examinations above required . Persons who have satisfactorily completed less than two years' study of law in a college or law school in good standing, may be given credit for this work and be excused from these examinations to such extent as shall be determined in each case by the Dean, The specific subjects in which such credit may be given will be determined by the Secretary at the time of admission. Four grades are given for work done. The grades are as follows : A, excellent; B, satisfactory; C, unsatisfactory; D, failure.

The School offers, • however, to graduates of other law schools who desire to pursue their studies further, special opportunities. The following courses are particularly recommended to graduates of law schools. (1) Constitutional Law. (2) International Law-In this course special research in the problems of international law of consequence to this country is provided for. (3) Practice-In this course a thorough training is given in practice at common law and in equity, with special reference to the needs of members of the Illinois bar. (4) Conveyancing-In this course special attention is paid to the forms of deeds and other legal instruments in common use. (5) General Review-A general review of the law is offered to graduates of law schools who wish to prepare for the bar examina- �THE LAW SCHOOL. tion in Illinois. This course is given four times a year, beginning about six weeks prior to each bar examination. The course is open to all students who satisfy the instructor that they have had sufficient training in law. (6) Original Research-The Faculty desires to encourage original research on the part of law school graduates. Special arrangements may be made with members of the Faculty for the pursuit of original investigation in any legal subject. FEES.

In June, 1901, the Board of Trustees acquired the land at the southeast corner of Dearborn and Lake streets, together with the building thereon, known as the Trement House, and proceeded to remodel it entirely, for University uses. In April, 1902, in view of the ample opportunities for enlargement afforded to the Law School in these new quarters (which are described in detail elsewhere in this BULLETIN), the Board voted to provide in the most ample manner for the support and equipment of the School. First, the sum of $10,000 (the income of a quarter of a million of dollars) was added to the annual income of the School. The result of this is to enable the School hereafter to maintain, as the nucleus of its Faculty, a staff of six professors, giving the whole or the substance of their time to the work of research and instruction. With these will be associated as many more experienced members of the bar, in charge of those subject which directly involve drill and training in methods of practice. Besides these, a number of lecturers will deliver courses upon special topics. While thus increasing the School's facilities and requirements for scholarly and scientific study and research, its work will be greatly strengthened in all that pertains to practical skill in the use of legal knowledge. The variety and value of the training hereafter to be offered in such subjects as conveyancing, pleading and procedure, trial practice, and the like, may be gathered from the outline of courses announced on page 13 in this number of the BULLETIN. It may be said that the School's facilities in this department of work will now be unexcelled. Secondly, the Board appropriated the sum of $10,000 for the immediate increase of the Library of the School. This will enable it to complete its collection of the reports and statutes of the various American states and territories, and to add plentifully to its collection of standard text-books and other sources. With this working library, and the privilege of using the 45,000 volumes of the Chicago Law Institute Library for special research, the amplest facilities for scholarly work in English and American law are now available to all its students. Thirdly, the Board guaranteed the completion of the Equipment Fund for the new quarters; and out of this fund abundant provision is being made to prepare those quarters to accommodate adequately the enlarged work of the School. A description of them will be found on page 41 of this number of the BULLETIN. �NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW QUARTERS. In September, 1902, the School will be removed to the Northwestern University Building (formerly the Tremont House), on the southeast corner of Dearborn and Lake streets. The property was recently acquired by the University at a cost of $500,000, and will be remodeled at a cost of $150,000. The Law School will occupy th<! entire third floor, containing a floor space of some 23,ooosquare feet, or more than seven times as much as at present. The quarters will be commodious and handsomely equipped, and will include two lecture-rooms, a court-room, an alumni room, a students' assembly room, several private studies for the school law clubs and similar purposes, besides a set of 200 lockers and the usual office rooms and professors' rooms, as well as a library and reading-room occupying 5,000 square feet in floor space. The students' assembly-room will be spacious and well equipped as a place for rest and conversation, the intention being to make the apartments as comfortable and attractive as possible for those students who have no home accommodations in Chicago. The equipment of this room will provide ample opportunities for mutual acquaintance, and will strengthen the spirit of scholarly • and professional fellowship. The Library reading-room will accommodate at its tables 450 students. The half-dozen private study-rooms will facilitate the private work of groups or clubs. The court-room, equipped with all the usual furnishings, will enable the practicecourt work to be effectively carried on. The spacious locker facilities will enable the students to make the School a convenient abiding-place throughout the day and evening. The alumni room will serve to make the School a headquarters for visiting alumni, and to centralize the influence of the School among the resident alumni of the city. In short, the removal to the new quarters on September 1, 1902, will be the signal for a great advance in the usefulness of the School in all directions, and will mark a new epoch in its important function as an early pioneer and a modern leader in legal education in the West. �THE LAW SCHOOL. 41 BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF RECENT APPOINTEES TO THE FACULTY. Of the Faculty appointments designed to strengthen the work of the School in providing training for practical skill in the use of legal knowledge, the following have thus far been mad e: Louis MAY GREELEY, Professor in the Law of Conveyancing, is a native of Chicago; was prepared for college in the schools of that city; graduated from Harvard College in 188o; attended the Law Sc hool of Harvard University for two years; was admitted to the bar in Chicago in 1884; and has been since that date engaged there in practice, particularly in connection with real estate titles. He has published articles on "The Privilege of Witnesses in Federal Courts," "Conditional Estates in Fee-Simple," and other topics. WILLIAM MEADE FLETCHER, Professor in the Law of Equity Pleading and Practice, is a native of Rappahannock Co., Virginia; received his schooling at the Episcopal High School near Alexandria; attended a course of liberal study in the University of Virginia, and in 1890 received from that University the degree of LL.B., and was admitted to the bar. After five years of practice in Montana and Colorado, he came to Chicago, and in 1895 entered into partnership with Hon. Loren Cone Collins. He has published essays on "State Lands," "Taxation of Franchises," "Equity," and other subjects; and has lectured on Equity Jurisprudence, Pleading, and Practice. LEVI HARPER FULLER, Professor in the Law of Practice, is a native of Iowa, graduating from Upper Iowa University in 189(), with the degree of B.S., and from Iowa State University in 1892, with the degree of LL.B. Since 1893, he has practiced in Chicago; and has also had several years' experience as a lecturer on the law of Corporations and as professor in charge of a Practice Court. JoHN HENRY SHELDON LEE, Asidstant Professor in the Law of Crimes and Criminal Procedure, is a native of Kansas; graduated from Harvard College in 1896, with the degree of A.B., and from the Law School of Northwestern University in 1898, with the degree of LL.B.; and since January, 1901, has been Assistant State's Attorney for Cook County. �42 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY. BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH OF PROFESSOR HURD. HARVEY BOSTWICK HURD, Professor in the Law of Crimes and of Equity Pleading, who at the close of the present year will retire from active work and become Professor Emeritus, was born in Huntington, Connecticut, in 1828. In 1846 he came to Chicago, and in 1848 was admitted to the bar. From 1860 to 1868 he was associated in practice with the Hon. Henry Booth, first Dean of the School; and in 1862 was appointed Professor of Law. In 1869 he was appointed on a commission of three to compile and rewrite the statutes of Illinois, and circumstances threw upon him alone the greater part of the work. In 1874 the revision was adopted, and Mr. Hurd was appointed editor of the completed volume. He has since published thirteen unofficial ~ditions; and the official volume of 1874 now stands alone in the jurisdictions of this country, as that which has longest remained without official recasting. Three other legislative enactments exhibit the wide range of Professor Hurd's activity and the importance of his influence on the affairs of this State. He originated the plan of creating a municipality distinct from the olty of Chicago, by which means alone it became possible to construct the great Drainage Canal between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River. He was also placed at the head of the Commission to report upon the Torrens system of Registration of Land Titles; the statute recommended by that Commission was drafted by .him, was then adopted by the Legislature, and was afterward successfully defended by him in argument before the Supreme Court of the State. Professor Hurd has also interested himself actively on behalf of the rescue of juvenile offenders; the recent beneficent statute creating a Juvenile Court was drafted by him, and has since been adopted in Pennsylvania almost verbatim, and in other States in its substance. In 1898 the honorary degree of Doctor of Laws was bestowed on him by Northwestern University. After forty years of almost uninterrupted work in the School, and of more than fifty years of ceaseless and invaluable activity in legislation and at the bar he now claims the privilege of retirement. But he will retain the earnest respect and affection of his colleagues in the School, of his hundreds of disciples in this and past years, and of his thousands of associates at the bar. His career as legislator, practitioner, and professor has been unique in the history of the State. This brief sketch does but scanty justice to his varied labors and achievements. �THE LAW SCHOOL. 43 HISTORICAL SUMMARY. In 1859, the Hon. Thomas Hoyne gave five thousand dollars to establish a law school for the old University of Chicago, and thus became entitled to remembrance as the founder of the fourth law school west of the Alleghanies. Two generations of his descendants have since graduated at the School he founded. The Hon. Henry Booth, LL.D ., was called to be the first Professor and Dean of the School, and served continuously for more than thirty years, until his retirement as Dean Emeritus in 1892. In 1862 the Hon. Harvf'y Bostwick Hurd, LL.D., became professor in the School, and after an almost continuous service of forty years, remains still a member of the Faculty. Though thus distinctly continuous in its work and history, the organic relations of the School passed through several stages. In 1873, it came under the joint control of Northwestern University, and became thereafter known as the Union Coll ege of Law. In 1886 the University of Chicago ceased to have active existence; and in 1891 the College of Law was formally constituted a department of Northwestern University. Throughout these forty-three years of e xistence the School has played an important part in legal education in Chicago and in the West. The most noted names of lega l history in Illinois have been associated with its Board of Trustees and its Faculty. Among the judges who have served on its Board were Thomas Drummond, Mark Skinner, Hugh Dickey, George Manierre, Grant Goodrich, Henry G. Miller, Corydon Beckwith, Oliver Horton, and many others. Among the jurists who have served on its Faculty may be named the Hon. John M. Wilson, judge of the Superior Court, a ripe scholar and an eloquent orator; the Hon. Lyman Trumbull, justice of the Supreme Court, and United States Senator; and James L. High, Esq., the eminent legal author; and others. More than one-fourth of the members of the Ct-iicago bar have rece iv ed their legal training in the School, and nea rly the same proportion of the members of the Illinois bar outside of Chicago. Its alumni are settled in thirty-five States and Territories, from New York to California, and in three foreign countries, and in each of these jurisdictions a branch of the Alumni Association exists. The president of the Association is now Frank 0. Lowden, Esq., of Chicago. In 1892 steps were taken to improve its methods and bring them into harmony with advanced ideas. Since that time the School has �44 NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY, taken the lead in the West in enforcing the best standards of modern legal education. In the enlargement of the curriculum, the extension of the required period of study to three years, the intrcduction of case-study, and the exaction of thorough work, the School has been a pioneer and a leader of this generation in the West. �HON.
