ILLINOIS LAW REVIEW ANNOUNCEMENT

With the May, 1906, number the Quarterly issue of the Law
School Bulletin will cease, and hereafter matter pertaining to the
school and the alumni will be included in the monthly issues of the
Illinois Law Review. This Law Review has been established in the
belief that there is not only a field for, but need of a law review that
shall be devoted particularly to the interests of members of the
bar in Illinois; that shall offer a full and fair discussion and exposition of Illinois law and of matters of especial interest to the Illinois
bar, and in this belief the Northwestern University Law Publishing
Association has undertaken th e publication of the above named Review. The aim of the editors will be to publish a journal of practical
value to lawyers; a journal that will be of assistance to every active
lawyer in his daily work.
The principal features of this Review will be:
(1) Articles on legal subjects of live interest to the bar and
people of the State.
(2) Articles on the history and status of important problems
and doctrines in the courts of this State.
(3) Articles and symposiums on proposed constitution.al
amendments and law reforms.
( 4) Reviews of the work of the State legislature at the close
of each session.
'
(5) Reports of committee of State and city bar associations,
and selected addresses delivered before said associations.
(6) Addresses delivered in the course on Legal Tactics in the
Northwestern University Law School.
(7) Critical comment on important decisions of Federal and
Illinois courts, and in some instances of the courts of other States.
(8) Digests of all decisions rendered during each month in the
Appellate Courts of Illinois, and a digest of decisions in important
cases in nisi prius courts in Illinois.
(9) Reviews of law books.
(10) Announcements of Northwestern University Law
School and notes of matters of interest to its alumni.
The subscription price will be three dollars per year; single
copies, forty cents.
The first number will be published May 1, 1906, and monthly
thereafter except during the months of July, August and September.
Subscriptions may be sent to The Illinois Law Review, 87 East
Lake street, Chicago.
No effort will be spared by the editors to make the Review a
journal of general interest and value to all lawyers and a journal
that will be indispensable to lawyers in Illinois. But its success, in
a great measure, must depend upon the constantly active support of
every graduate of the School. May the School not only count upon
your subscription being returned to-day on the blank form enclosed,
but may it not also depend upon you as an interested subscription
i,olicitor among your fellow lawyers?

LOCATION AND EQUIPMENT.

The Law School is located in Northwestern University
Building, at the corner of Lake and Dearborn Streets,
Chicago. This building was acquired and equipped at a
cost of nearly one million dollars for the purpose of securing
a permanent home for the departments of law, dentistry
and pharmacy. It is located ne,a r the center of the business
district of Chicago, easy of access from all residence portions of the city. It is within a few blocks of the County,
State, and Federal Courts, and hence offers students an
opportunity to witness the carrying on of litigation in varied
forms. The school occupies 24,000 square feet of space,
divided into convenient lecture-rooms, offices and library.
The library contains about 20,000 volumes and is being
rapidly increased; it now includes all of the official reports
of all the American States and Territories, together with
their statutes; the entire Reporter System, partly in duplicate; the original English Reports together with the Revised Reports and the English Reprint ; a good collection of
legal periodicals, treatises and selected cases. In addition to
the above the Library includes the Gary Collections of
English Legal Historical Material, Ancient and Oriental
Law, American International Law, and Modern Continental
Law, the latter being the most complete collection of its kind
in the United States.

SCHEDULE OF HOURS.
The schedule of hours is so arranged that the courses are given
in general as follows:' first year courses, between two and five
o'clock in the afternoon; second year courses, between nine and
twelve o'clock in the morning; third year courses, between three
and seven o'clock in the afternoon. The Practice Court is held in
the evening at half past seven.
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 :
1. Pleadings and Other lnstrnments-In the courses on Common
Law Pleading, Code 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. In Corporations, the
class is formed, during the second term, into two corporations, which
organize, elect officers, issue stock, enlarge capital, keep books, consolidate, and do various other acts of corporate business which call
for the drafting of instruments and otherwise familiarize the student
with the modes of using the legal knowledge required. In the other
courses, particularly Commercial Paper, Carriers, Insurance, and the
like, particular attention is paid to the study of forms of instruments
in common use.
2. Conveyancing-In the course on conveyancing the chief material of the work consists in a series of selected abstracts of title,
some fifteen 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, and with regard to the laws
of the different States. Thorough work in this course ought to
equip the student as a practical conveyancer at the time of his entering upon his profession. No one may take this course who has not
already 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

�12

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

third-year students to become practically familiar with these rules
by the personal application of them in litigation managed by th~
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 report 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. Legal Tactics-For the past four years, on every Monday
evening until April, an address was given, by some well-known
member of the Bar, upon some topic of practice in which he had
had special experience, and in which the communication of personal
experience was of special value as a guide to' others. This course has
been of particular value to young practitioners already at the
Bar, and will be repeated in 1906-1907, with some variations.
5. 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 December 1st. The thesis must

Law School will conduct a course in law for members of the American Institute of Bank Clerks. This course will be known as a
Legal Course for Bankers, and will comprise such part of the following subj ects as relate particularly to bankers and banking: Contracts, Bills and Notes, Corporations, Trusts, Agency, Partnership,
Municipal Corporations, Suretyship, Bankruptcy.
Instruction in the course will be given by the present members
of the Faculty and membership will be open only to members of
the American Institute of Bank Clerks. The course is designed to
meet a demand in the larger banks throughout the country for men
having some knowledge of law ; in fact, in many of the banks the
passing of an examination in some of the above mentioned subjects, limited, of course, to their particular application to banks
and banking, is required as a preliminary for promotion. At present the Institute of Bank Clerks provides for instruction through
a correspondence course directed by instructors in two recognized
Eastern law schools; the course in this School is designed to offer
additionally to its members who may be able to attend personally
the advantage of residence-work over that of correspondence-study.

ALUMNI NEWS ITEMS.

1. Contributions to the Library by Hon. Elbert H.Ga,ry, '67.

During the past few years l\;Ir. Gary has made several
valuable gifts to the Law School Library, the last one noted
in the Bulletin being the Gary Collection of Continental
Jurisprudence, now known as the Gary Collection of Modern Continental Law. During the present year Mr. Gary
by further contributions has enabled the School to complete
the official reports of all the American States and Territories, add digests of the reports of the more important
States, and secure many of the more important American
treatises heretofore lacking. In English material he has made
it possible to complete the official reports, and to add a special
collection of English Historical matter, of a legal nature,
printed before 1700 and not already found in some Chicago
library.
In addition to these contributions Mr. Gary has established
the nucleus of two interesting and valuable collections that
will tend to add much to the usefulness and to the reputation
of the library. These collections may be described as
follows:
1. American International Law-This will include all printed
material relating to American International Law and Diplomacy not
already accessible to students of the law residing in Chicago.
2. Ancient and Oriental Law-This collection is to include (1)
for Europe, the printed sources of Germanic, Scandinavian and
Slavic Law up to the end of the Middle Ages; including the Lex
Salica and kindred laws and ordinances; the legal documents, records
of local customs, etc., so far as printed; (2) for Asia and Africa,
and Oceanica, the laws and customs of primitive or extinct tribes
and peoples, and the more developed systems, such as the Hindu
and Mohammedan. Geographically, therefore, this will cover
Afghanistan, Armenia, Caucasus, Persia, India, East Indies, China,
Japan, Siam, Mongolia and Siberia, African tribes, Oceanica, and
Australia. By systems, it will include the Hindu, Mohammedan,
Hebrew, Babylonian, Egyptian, Greek, Chinese, and Japanese sys24

terns. It will not include in the present plan the modern colonial
law of Germany, France, Great Britain, Spait), Nether lands, Denmank, Portugal, and Italy, so far as the legislation of those countries
has affected the indigenous law of their colonies; but it will include
the modern legislation of the above great systems in the independent
countries which still maintain them, i. e., Turkey, China, Japan, Siam,
and Persia. So far, however, only Turkey and Japan are thus represented in the collection. The nucleus of this department has been a
collection sold by M. Paul Genthner, of Paris, and formed from the
libraries of Professors Dermesteter, Gaston Paris, Jules Oppert,
Blonde!, and two others; it came recently into the market, and included many treatises in pamphlets and old editions, which are difficult
to procure on demand, but contained few of the large treatises which
may be procured on order without difficulty. It thus furnished the
best sort of a nucleus for such a library. A fuller description of it
is given in the Green Bag for March, 1906. The value of such a
collection, when fairly completed, to students of comparative law,
and to researchers in all branches of history and politics, it is hardly
necessary to point out.

2. Towle Prize Debate.
The annual debate for the Towle Prizes consisting
of one hundred dollars and fifty dollars each, was held in
Booth Hall, Friday evening, April 6th. The following
students were selected by the Committee in charge of the
preliminaries as best qualified for the final contest: Messrs.
William Capron, Jr., Lawrence A. Cohen, Milton P. Firestone, James J. Forstall, Andrew A. Martin, and Harry L.
Shaver, with Benjamin E. Cohan and Samuel R. Rabinoff as
alternates. The question: "Resolved, that a person charged
with contempt of court in violating an injunction or restraining order should have the right to a trial by jury," proved to
be of unusual public interest, as was evidenced by the large
attendance.
The first prize of one hundred dollars was awarded to
James Jackson Forstall, B. S., and the second prize of fifty
dollars to Lawrence A. Cohen.
Robert E. Pendarvis, Esq., presided, and Miss Jane Addams, Milton J. Foreman, Esq., and Luther Laflin Mills,
Esq., served as judges.

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

3. Abel Davis,

'02,

Recorder for Cook County, Illinois.

Alumni will be interested in these days of charges of misconduct and incompetency against public officials to learn
that Mr. Davis, one of the recent graduates of the Law
School, is commended in an article in the Real Estate News
for March for the businesslike methods he has introduced
in the conduct of his office and for his freedom from political
influence. Some of the improvements noted are in the
lessening of time required for recording deeds from three
weeks to one week ; the making of his own entry sheets on
the typewriter from the original document instead of accepting those of abstract companies; the introduction of the
system of copying the records by typewriter, which will
ultimately wholly do away with the present longhand method
of copying, thereby greatly improving the records themselves
and reducing the number of persons employed at copying
from about 115 to 70. Mr. Davis is also making a complete
index from the time of the Chicago fire to all recorded
maps, plats, and subdivisions ; a complete index of divorces
granted in Cook County from the time of the Chicago fire,
and an improved system of judgment indexes from which
divorce decrees are eliminated-all of this without extra
expense to the County.
In the administration of his office Mr. Davis has practically eliminated political influence, employees are required
to be informed on land titles and the description of property.
Time sheets are kept and every employee is required to
sign his name and the hour for which he reports for work.
Office hours formerly from 8 :30 to 4 :30, are now from 8 to
5, with a half holiday as heretofore on Saturdays. Employees who are tardy are fined, and in case of illness full
pay is allowed and the Recorder kept informed of the condition and needs of the sick employee by a messenger from
the office.
Zeal and ability of this sort in a public officer is so refreshing that doubtless this account of the work of Mr. Davis

�ALUMNI NEWS ITEMS.

27

will be gratefully received by fellow alumni and by the bar
at large.
It may be added that Charles George Little, Esq., Associate Professor in this Faculty, has by Mr. Davis' appointment,
been Chief Examiner of Titles in the Title-Registration
Office for the past year, since the death of Mr. Sheldona merited tribute to Mr. Little's repute as a careful and
skillful conveyancer.

Lectures on Legal History and Biography, by John
Maxey Zane, Esq., of the Chicago BM.

The first in a. series of six lectures on Legal History and
Biography, by Mr. Zane, was given in Hurd Hall on Friday
evening, February 23, and continued weekly thereafter on
Friday evenings. These lectures were open without charge to
alumni and members of the Chicago bar, and the attendance
and interest manifested throughout the course was a tribute
to the unusual learning of the lecturer and to his skill in
arranging the material contained in the addresses. The
School was exceptionally fortunate in securing Mr. Zane
for these lectures, and both the Bar and the School are obligated to him for his effort. Titles of the six lectures are
given below :
LECTURE I.

English lawyers during the Golden Age of the common law from
the Norman Conquest to the accession of Edward I in 1272, including
Glanville and Bracton.
LECTURE II.

English lawyers during the Silver Age of the common law from
the accession of Edward I to the death of Edward III in 1377, including the earlier Year Books.
LECTURE III.

English lawyers during the Bronze Age of the common Jaw from
the death of Edward III to the accession of Henry VII in 1485, including Fortesque and Littleton.

THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN
ASSOCIATION.

The Young Men's Christian Association of Chicago has
established a branch which carries on work in the three
Schools in the University Building. In addition to its
religious work, the Association is of service to the student!!
in many ways. In the pleasant rooms, placed at its disposal
by the University, the Association maintains a very popular
social center with a well selected list of reading material,
several games and a piano. Throughout the year the list of
rooms and boarding places is kept for the use of students in
settling in the city.
All students are invited to make the Association rooms
their headquarters during the year. As far as possible new
students will be met at the train by an Association man
wearing a badge. Those desiring to be so met will please
write a few days in advance to Y. M. C. A., Northwestern
University Building; Chicago, indicating clearly on what
train they are to reach Chicago, and over what road they
are to come.

AN ACCOUNT OF A COURSE IN

Problems of Contemporary
Legislation
The Subject
The subjects of inquiry and discussion are legal problems.
This is worth emphasizing, because it must not be supposed
that the course is intended or allowed to introduce into the
law school curriculum any research in the economic, social, or
political field as such. The materials concern the American
lawyer's profession as he finds it today and in prospect. And
they concern topics that the student has already met in the
usual courses, in their judicial and not in their legislative aspect.
The list of topics in the printed List of Topics and References sufficiently shows this feature. Each of them involves
one or more well-known rules or body of rules already familiar as part of the present law. Its aptness to present conditions has been questioned. The problem is, not merely to
ascertain the validity of the criticism, but to determine what
specific changes of rule would be needed to meet any criticism
that may be found valid.

l-

Thus, the work of the course involves a review of the existing rule or rules, a precision of its defects, and a shaping of its
changes. The work involves materials which are as distinctly
legal ( in the sense familiar to American lawyers) as the materials of any lecture course. And it constantly reveals to the
student how merely partial has been his grasp of the rule while
he was studying it in only its static and not its dynamic aspect.
The topics vary, of course, in the extent to which existing
decisions and statutes form the main part of the discussion.
But in each of them the problem is primarily a lawyer's problem, e. g., such topics as the Income Tax, the Minimum Wage,
and the like, are strictly excluded.
1

�The Object
To put into convincing words the multiple object of the
course is not easy. But it must be explained at the outset what
it is not . . It is not a "seminar" for the purpose of conveying
information on the pros and cons of any one of the topics. Some
colleges probably have such courses. They should not be mistaken in purpose for this one.
I. A main purpose is to open the mind of the young lawyer
to the thought that dozens of important legal rules have a legislative aspect, which he today ought to reckon with. The course
aims to make him sense this. Having been kept strictly down
( in the usual curriculum) to an analysis of the decisions, their
history and their logical connections, iff the effort to ascertain
merely what the law is (not what it ought to be), and to argue
in lawyerlike fashion towards the logical result of prior precedents applied to new cases, he tends inevitably to think of law
exclusively in this aspect. And he must now be initiated into
the other aspect.
How necessary is to be that other aspect, for the skilful
leadership of the profession in the coming generation, need not
be urged here. Those teachers who do not feel it keenly will
take no interest in this course. Those who do will feel it invaluable for the training of the coming generation of leaders
at the baL
This object then is not to convey information on important
topics. It is to introduce the advanced student ( i. e. at a stage
of his legal education when it is safe to do so) to a new way
of thinking about law.
To attain genuinely to that understanding, the natural and
sufficient method is for him to spend some time in thinking over
and discussing with others a few such topics. After a short
season of such experience, he becomes inoculated. He has
sensed-and will thereafter in his professional career not lose
this sensing- the legislative possibilities of his law. He is
groomed to take readily his part-if Destiny has any for himin the legislative activities of the near future. The main object
of the course is accomplished. That object may be somewhat
intangible now; but it is of profound consequence to the
profession.
2.
A secondary object is to familiarize the young man with
the sources of research for legislative .discussion of the existing
law. The 'best of students are often naively unfamiliar with
them. To illustrate: A member of the class once chose for
his topic "The Abolition of the Death Penalty." He had found
plenty of material; . had marshalled the statutes; had sum-

�marized the statistics, etc. But at a prior consultation it appeared
that in Kansas ( let us say), where the penalty had been abolished
and then restored, he had found nothing about the interim
experience. It was suggested that he had better look into the
governor's messages for that period; and this simple· resource
had never occurred to him.
The helplessness of the ordinary educated person in turning
to seek for the sources of facts and arguments on a legal problem
is greater than might be supposed. To initiate the embryo
lawyer into an acquaintance with the extent and variety of
reliable sources for this purpose is a real service to the profession.
3. Another secondary object is to reveal to the young lawyer
the importance of skill in making a concise informal presentation
of his cherished convictions to a group who must be persuaded.
In many and many an emergency of a lawyer's career these
two features-brevity and informality-are more vital than we
commonly reflect. Whether it be a board of directors, a city
council committee, a citizens' meeting, or a client's consultatioq-these conditions sternly limit the advocate full of his subject. He ought to have an illuminating experience before the
reality is upon him.
In this course, the part1c1pants, who heckle the chairman,
have an opportunity to observe how rare is the required talent,
and how needful its cultivation. One of the features often
gratefully spoken of is this experience of the difficulty of making all one's points effectively for a large subject in a limited
time and subject to interruption.

!

4. Incidentally, no doubt, a benefit of the course is a rather
broad scope of information on the actual problems of contemporary legislation. But if the course were conducted primarily with this view, it would easily degenerate into a "seminar," in which a "paper" is read by one, and the professor
then criticizes, while the other members sit by in respectful a~d
industrious silence. And this is not what the course is intended
to be.

The Methods
How, then, is the course conducted?
There are a good many details, as developed "in the sevenyears' tradition. Perhaps no one of them is essential. But they
all fit together. The general spirit can best be told by saying
that the class pretends that it is a legislative committee, and the
chairman for the day is laying before them a proposal for their
approval.
3

�Of course, the idea of a legislative committee is not strictly
carried out. There is no legislative machinery, not the least; the
chairman is each member of the class in turn and the professor sits along with the rest like an ordinary member; there
is no draft of a bill; and there is merely a straw vote at the
end, to satisfy curiosity as to the persuasive effect of the chairman's presentation.
And now a little more in detail.
I.
Schedule of Meetings. The class meets once a week,
for a session of an hour and three-quarters. The meetings
begin in the second term, or in December, or in October (if
enough members have prepared, as chairmen, beforehand in
summer time). The List of Topics having been posted long
before, each member selects his own; and at an early preliminary meeting a schedule of dates is made up, by lot or by
agreement.
2. Preparation.
Each member finds in the List of References enough material to give him an ample start in the sources:
Industrious ones find more or less additional material. The
sources are studied; the instructor is consulted as much or as
little as desired, but only in regard to finding materials. Notes
are prepared as fully as each one cares.
One week before each meeting, the -chairman for that meeting distributes to each member a typewritten summary of his
( Samples of such summaries
expected order of discourse.
This summary
are printed at the end of this leaflet.)
must follow one rule only, viz., its details must be grouped
under three heads :
I. What are the alleged abuses, shortcomings, defects, of
the present law?
II. What are the remedies anywhere proposed?
III. What is the remedy favored by the chairman'?
U.;ually some brief history of the subject prefaces the first topic.
3. Meetings. The member whose topic is scheduled for
the day takes the chair. Other members, including the professor, sit around a long table. Entire informality prevailsjust as in any committee meeting of friends.
The chairman may have full notes prepared, besides his Summary, but he must not read anything-except an occasional
quotation from an authority. His exposition is strictly oral.
He allots its topics so that he would take only thirty or
forty minutes, if uninterrupted. But he has never gone- far
before a question is asked; then comes another, and others;
and his forty minutes invariably expand to one hour and forty
4

�before he reaches his &lt;inding, and often .he does not reach it.
Perhaps a statement of law is doubted, perhaps a statement of
fact. Perhaps an assertion now become elementary to him
seems a mere assumption to one of the others, and so he must
digress to establish his fundamentals. In one way or another he
finds that he must satisfy all sorts of expressed doubts before he
can proceed safely to the next point. And the spirit of the
occasion, emphatically, is that he is an advocate of some thesis,

proposing or opposing a change of law to those w hose assent is
requi1·ed, and hence he must seek to satisfy all doubts, and to

carry his colleagues with him for his measures. Part of his
benefit to be got is this experience of persuading other thinking
members of the profession on a matter of legislation proposed
by him.
The chairman is to control the objectors, and not let the
due progress of his presentation be ·impeded. In this task he is
not always as successful as he might be; but the professor can
occasionally help him.
At the close, the chairman submits his proposal, in concise
fol,'m. Usually, it embodies three or four essential features. If
he feels that one or more, not essential, may endanger his
measure, he may withdraw them. But the vote must be on the
whole proposal, not on each part separately.
After each meeting, the chairman files with the professor a
list of any references which he has found and used additionally
to those on the printed list.
4. Membership. The membership is limited to sixteen; for
there are sixteen weeks in a term, and one meeting a week;
moreover, a larger number would not permit of informal committee spirit. If more than that number are to be allowed, two
classes should be formed.
If the sixteen members are selected from a larger number of
applicants, the choice can be made by priority, by lot, or by
scholarship record.
The same professor attends all meetings. But it would be
worth while for an additional one to attend; the various members of the faculty taking turns. But they should not choose
meetings when a specialty of their own supplies the topic; the
less they know on the special subject, the better members
they are.
Such is the course in Problems of Contemporary Legislation.
No doubt it could be conducted profitably on a plan differing in
details from the above description. The above method, however, has served well enough for carrying out the purposes set
forth at the beginning of these le.aflets.

criminal in their nature, jury by trial
should be allowed.
(This is covered by remedy for contempt)
(b) Further, that agreements or combinations
to do or not to do an act in any trade
dispute should not be deemed criminal if
such an act would not be punished as a
crime if done by one.
( r) Herein, also, such agreements shall
not be considered in restraint of
trade.
(2) Nor shall injunctions or restraining
orders issue in relation thereto.

�HISTORY OF THE BUILDING.
Address by Professor R. D. Sheppard.

"The appropriate housing of some of our ,d epar.tmentsthat is the occasion of our celebration today-is deeply involved in the history of these schools and is a notable step
in their bright progression. The attempt to teach the subjects for which they stand was a part of the original program
,of the founders of Northwestern University b'efore Bven a foot
of land was acquired, or one stone of her buildings was laid.
We are gathered today almost within a stone's throw of the
spot wh-e re, in 1850, a few devoted and far-sighted men set on
foot the project of Northwestern University that aimed to
teach all learnin,g. They were men of boundless faith, men
of statesmanlike conception and generous of their limited
means. They believed that time was on their side, and that
the acorn which they were p!aTuting would be an oak in the
century to come, but th·e y hardly conceived that the successor
of what was then the palatial hotel of the city of Chicago
would be the home of three of their coming schools and . the
headquarters of ·e ducational influence in the city and its tributary territory. Nevertheless, this wild fancy has been realized. They labored and we have ·e ntered into their labors.
Let us not forget in, our march of progress, and chiefly so
near to Founders' Day, that our direotion was given and our
pace was set in a clingy law office near at hand, i111 1850, by
as sturdy, far-sighted and s-elf-sacrificing a body of men as
ever founded a state or projected a great public ·e nterprise.
Our Law School was begun in 1859; our School of Pharmacy came under our care in 1884; our Dental School was begun in 1891. The beginnings were small: a few teachers, with
the root of the matter in them, and with a few facilities welcomed the men who sought their aid. Without a permanent
abiding place, in cramped an•d often dingy quarters, moving
often, they kept on their way, instructing students, making
history, gathering a body of a lumni, forcing, by their own
growth ,a nd aspirations upon the institution that ha-d fostered
them, the idea that they were no sickly children destined to
an early death, but vigorous members of the university househo1d , with the garments of youth outworn, which needed to
3

�be replaced with the garments of maturity; and that they
ne·eded above all a permanentt abiding plac·e, about which the
associations of home might gather. To my personal knowledge, four different locations-and I know not how many more
-have housed the Law School; four, the Dental School; two,
the School of Pharmacy. They were in a sens-e educational
tramps. The condition did not suggest permanence. It was
not a comfortable or creditable coml.ition. Still, we were doing the best we could under th·e circumstances, looking for
better days, with an eye, as we someti::nes say, to the main
chance.
In the mid.winter meeting of the Board of Trustees held
March 15, 1900, the subject of the professional schools was the
chief topic of discussion. Representatives of the various schools
were given the floor. My own contribution to the subject was
the suggestion that so far as possible for the efficiency of administration, for economy at various points, and for the impression that they would unitedly make on the intellectual
life of the city, as well as for the enhancement of the influence of the University, they should be housed. under a .single
roof. I only spoke that for which I hoped and dreamed. I
have dreamed much that has not been realized. But it was
not long before the famous old Tremont House was in the market_ It had come to the notice of James B. Hobbs, than whom
no clearer head or warmer .heart was ever enlisted in the
institutions of the church he loves, in this part of the world.
He said to me, " Sheppard, this is what you have beelll looking for, and you can compass its purchase." I thanked him for
his S1J1ggestion, was skeptical of his conclusion, and promised
to think th·e matter over. I roamed so frequently over the old
building that the police authorities had me under suspicion,
and the possibilities of its use and purposes gr ew upon me.
I ,s ecured an option for its purchase early in March, ·1901, and
mad€ a pilgrimage to the winter home of Mr. Deering, the
president of the Board of Trustees. I unfolded my dream and
my method of financing the enterprise. He listened in his
kindly critical way and approved, and backed his judgment
with his accustomed liberality, and offered twenty-five thousand dollars to help on the work, and thus gave the sche::ne
the impuls·e which made it possible, as he has impelled every
other gr eat scheme in which the University was interested
that commended itself to his judgment-great-hearted, clearh eaded, generous-handed man that he is: may he continue
long with us to watch and guide our progress. I visited New
4

�York, and consulted Mr. N. W. Harris, who heartily approved,
and on the 15th of March, at a sp·ecial meeting of the Board ot
Trustees, I repeated what h·a d been done, set forth my plan
of financing th·e enterprise, suggested the value and uses of
this property to us, and was authorized to consummate
purchas-e for $500,000. It was then in use as a hotel and the
lease had some time run. Arrangements were made for
early possession, and plans for adaptation of the building
were undertaken by the Univer sity architects, D. H. Burnham &amp; Company. I need not tell you of the plans which mi scarried of enlisting the First M. E. Church with us in the enterprise of building a great auditorium in connection with this
structure, or, the later attempt, to incorporate a great music
ha·ll for the .accom::nodation of the Thomas Orchestra and the
Central Church. That was a noble dream that did not com e
tnre, and from which I shrank when I found it could not be
unanimously supported by the Trustees. But let me say in
passing that I devoutly hope that in this bi-centennial year of
John Wesley's birth that dream may come true in connection
with the Clark Street property only two blocks away, where
our institution, in clos-e connection with a great institutional
church, may employ the adjunct of a great central hall in
wielding a mighty intellectual influence on the life of this metropolis.
It was not until March, 1902, that we secured possession
of the property, and plans were adopted involving the expenditure of over $170,000 for th·e exclusive accommodation of
the Schools of Law, Pharmacy and Dentistry. Mr. John R.
Lindgren and Mr. ViT. A. Dyche were associated with me on
the Building Committee and rendered invaluable service.
From time to time, as the work developed, the plans were enlarged, until, with the n eedful equipment of laboratories and
furnishing of the building with needed stationary apparatus, our expe'll-diture has aggregated $280,000. Difficulties of constructio!l confronted us a:s the work progressed, which could not be foresee11. Controvers ies of co.ifiicting trades worked long delay an'Cl! the cancelling of some
contracts and the increasing of expenses. Unusual dtJman.:'ls
of the City Building department caused revision of other contracts at added expense. The whole interior of the building,
,boun·d together as it -was by trusses and upheld by partitions
and hearing walls, had to be supported by a steel constrnetion from the ground up, displacing all the former support,,
from the floor to the roof. A n-ew seventh story had to be cou5

�s tructed for the use of the anatomical de partme nt of the Dent al '3 chool. The steam plant 'nacl t o be made entirely new;
the plumbing likewis e, and unusu al quantitie s of it to meet
th e demands of the laboratories ; n e w elect; k wiring : n e,Y
floor s, n ew plastering; ne w elevators were r equired; indeed,
nearly all s ave th e ·e xt erior walls of th e building, may be said
to be a n ew construction with spacious stories and s pecially
adapted to the needs and growth of our great schools for
many years to come. Indeed, wh·en you estimat•) the capacity
of this building, you will find that it is e quival.:mt to six college buildings 160 by 180 feet and containing about 23,000
s quare feet each, allowing for a gr eat court in t.h e center of
ea,ch buihling, and another building 60 by 160 containing
a bout 10,000 square fe et.
H er e the chief administrative officer can keep in close
touch with the city departments of the University and with
th e intellect ual and ·e ducational life of the city, and here we
can, as we have frequently clone thus far, extend the hospita lity of the Univer sity to learil'ecl s ocieti es and institutions
that need a place of m eeting and conference. Marvelous us es
a nd adaptations of this home of our schools, I verily believe.
will frequ ently appear a s the years go by. In this central construction, so accessible by all the intramural means of travel
in our city, we may stand for a beacon of learning and all that
relates to it, where every ·e ye can see.
It has b·e en a matter of r emark by property interests that,
by our improvements and activities in this neighborhood, we
have ·enhanced values n early 100 per cent-I hope the assessor will not be apprised of this fact, however. Indeed, if some
brave capitalist should offer us $1,500,000 for this property, I
should be dispo sed to commend his judgment of property value s, though it is not for sale.
But best of all in this connection is the publicity and
permanence attaching to our schools . The professional men
of the next generation, products of thes-e schools, can make
frequent visits to their alma mater without inconvenience),
gaze, with delighted memory on the benches they so often
mutilated, and live ove r again the years of hard work that
mad·e men of them, and uphold with their increasing influence, because of th•e ir added interest, the power of the University for good. Our loyal professors need no longer be trampeducators, but with a settled habitation and home, they may
be assured that their scholarship and labor are associate d
with an institution that is here to stay. We celebrate today
6

�th·e passing of the Tremont House, grand old hostelry, commensurate in its existence only with the life of the city of
which it was an ornament. On its register, what a catalogue
of names has been inscribed; through its spacious corr.dors
what a mdghty procession -o f people hrus pas;,ed; from its
balconies, what oratory has been heard; in its banqueti ng
halls, what luxurious feasts have been sp r ead! But its day
is ove r. "NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BUILDING" is
inscribed over its portals. The register is still here, but it is
a r egister of hungry students. Instead of the heavy footfall of
weary travelers upon the marble floor seeking refreshment,
I hear the quick tread of ·eager youth thronging to the scenes
of study. The banqueting halls have given place to the library, the lecture room and the laboratories. The same old flag
waves from the flag-staff but the n eeds of the body of American citizens have heen di splaced beneath it by the n eeds of
the mind and th e spirit.
Farewell, old Tremont. Hail, for generations to come,
"Northwestern University Building!"

�ADDRESS ON PRESENTING THE KEYS OF THE BUILDING TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY.

Hon. Oliver H. Horton, First Vice President of the Board of
Trustees.

"ViTith an ·e arnest desire to see the dental, law and pharmaceutical schools properly hou sed and pr ovided with all necess ary appointments and accessories, the Trust ees have provided
for their use this great building, with its furni shings, at a cost
of about $900,000. Nearly 1,000 young m8n assemble daily
within th ese halls. ,¥hen location and surroundings and the
opportunities presented for special investigation, obs·ervation
and practice are considered in connection with this buiidin:s
and its magnificent appointments and capacity, \t may he
doubted wh0ther any other such schools are any better, if as
well, provided for or equippe d.
And now, Mr. President, by the authority and in the name
of the Trustees of Northwestern University, I pres0nt to you
the keys of these halls as an emblem of the added responsibility resting upon you. We have no h·e sitation in doing so,
because we doubt not your -qualification or your de,·otion to
the interests we represent."

�ADDRESS OF ACCEPTANCE.
President Edmund J. Jame s of Northwestern University.

Mr. Chairman, Colleagues, and Friends:
In the na;:ue of the Faculties of Northwestern University
I accept the trust which these keys symbolize and on their behalf I feel that I can pledge to the fullest extent their hearty
co-operation in administering the trust thus accepted.. The
completion of this building and its dedication to university
purposes is an ·e vent fu ll of th·e deepest significance and importance, not only for those of us who are here today, but for
that long line of m en and women who will succe·e d us in thcJ
administration of this trust and for the community in w11ic'h
thi-s institution is located and the country which it serve3. 'I'he
creation and administration of this building represent in a
very striking way the co-operation between two important
factors in the life of every American university-the Trustees and Faculties. The idea of acquiring this building originated, I understand, not with a memb'er of the Faculty, but
with a member of the Trustees. It was, thanks to the foresight, initiative enterpris e, energy and co-operation of the
Trustees, that this work has been carried through to the magnificent succ ess which greets us today. The immediate ·execution and supervision of the work, however, was entrusted to a
man who represents in himself at once the qualities of a
Trustee and m emb er of the Faculty. And I am sure that I
am only voicing the opinion of the Trustees, as well as of the
Faculties, when I expr ess in this formal way the appreciation
of every · member of this University for the devoted service
of Dr. Rob'ert D. Sheppard. He as chairman of the building committee, has actually proposed and carried through the
plans which the Trustees endorsed and authorized. Tlhe work
of Northwestern University is certainly quite as much the
result of the devoted sacrifices and toil of th·e members of
the Board of Trustees as it is of the efforts and labors of tiie
Faculti'es. And on behalf of the Faculties, I feel i·.hat I may
express to our Board of Trustees the hearty appreciation of
their services on behalf of this institution.
I remember asking President Eliot of Harvard University
9

�years ago what h·e considered as the most important element
in bringing about the wonderful success which stands forth
today as the result of his efforts as President of Harvard University. "I think the greatest element," he said, "has been
the co-operation and support in the corporation of the University of a number of men whose untiring industry and devotion to the University, whose sood judgment, whose energetic
efforts on its b'ehalf have made possible the results of the
last thirty years of development." Northwestern University
has also been fortunate in its Trustees. We have several
men on our Board who for more than twenty-five years have
given, lavishly of their time and strength.
,¥e regret today on this great occasion the absence of
the President of the Board of Trustees, Mr. William Deering,
a man who for more than a quarter of a century has carried
Northwestern University on his mind and heart as one of the
objects of his greatest interest and care and thought. It is
not simply that he has given his money, which we have needed badly enough and which he has contributed liberally, but
that year in and year out he has given to the University a.
thought, a service, without which it could not have accomplished its present results.
Nor on this fifty-second anniversary of Founders' Day
should we forget the devotion and sacrifice of thos-e early
men who laid broad and deep the foundation upon which we·
are building. They sowed, we are reaping. They planned ancl:
toiled and we are entering into the results of their labors.
The only return we can make to them is to plan still more
largely and to toil still more unremittingly that those who
come after us may have a still greater privilege.
Northwestern University represents in its growth one of
the typical forms of -development of t':le modern American
university. It was begun as a col\.ege department-a College
of Liberal Arts-with a four years' course, granting the degr-ee of Bachelor of Arts, and around this has grown up as
around a nucleus a group of other schools of more or less
im1portance. Some of .them owe t'iieir orig,i nal existence to
the initiative of the University Board of Trustees. Oth·ers.
have grown up in the first place as independent schools and
then subsequently have been taken into the university syslem, and have thus become an integral part of the institution.
It may from one point of view be compared with our federal
system of government, in which the various faculties or departments may be compared with the different states as they
10

�were at the time the American Union was formed, ·e ach with
its own independent powers, with its own independent sph·e re
of action and function, with its own means of government,
and yet all co:nbined in one institution. Like the American
Union at the outset, it was a mere feileration, the emphasis
lying in the constitu-ent elements of the Union, rather than
in the new body created by the union of the different elements.
Like the American Union of today there has occurred a
steady shifting of the center of thought from these constituent elements to the ·one great result-the organic creation
of which these are now in a true sense parts. And it is
only within a comparatively recent time that the real university spirit has begun to s'how itself-&lt;a spirit test,ifying to
the real soul within the body.
We are, therefore, today an institution with a college department as the nucleus, the foundation, and a group of ·professional schools growing up about it, becoming ever more intimately associated with it and with one another in this new
and higher life of the University. The process is not by any
means complete. We are living in the very midst of it. Th~
erection of this buiMing, however, its occupancy by three
of our professional schools, its ·e vident usefulness to all d·epartments of the University, typifies and shadows forth a new
stage into w·hi-ch thi,s University is entering-a stage from
which the true University may be expected to emerge. It has
not been a very long time since most of tl113 colleges looked
upon the professional schools as mere appendages, and sometimes unwelcome appendages, to the real institution, which to
their minjs consisted only of the college. It has not been so
very long since the University Board of Trustees looked upon
the professional school as a department which ought to defray
not only its expense,s, but ought to yicln a surplus or net
revenue for the use of gen-e ra! university purposes which
they thought of as identical with the college of liberal arts.
It is safe to say that that time has passed away. We see
with p·e rfect clearness today that if we wish to make a thoroughly good law school, equipped for the best kind of work
which we should like to see characteristic of all departments
of Northwestern University, we must be prepared to obtain
endowments for the 1law school exactly as- for the college.
We have had striking evidence within the last four or five
years throughout the country that if we propose to enable
our medical school to hold in the future the same high relative position which it has held in the past, we must be pre11

�pared to expend money upon • its equipment, upon its salary
list, upon its libraries and laboratories, in exactly the same
way as we expend money on a college department and graduate schools and technical schools.
The day of the old form of the proprieury professional
school has passed away. The day when a few men who
liked the sound of the word "professor" could unite themselves into a Faculty and, be,cause of the ·e xtra practice which
such a prominence gave them and which the increased acquaintance with students brought them, could give their time
to the school free of charge and thus build up a satisfactory
school, has pass·e d away. The day has passed away when
men can organize such schools with the idea of obtaini:n.g a
large pecuniary return such as came to the members of
faculties -Orf so;ne sc'hoo.Js in the early days. When the community decided to take away from the professional school
the power of conferring upon its .graduates a licens·e to practice, it took one of the most important steps in the way of
improving the conditions of professional education which
have ever been taken. For by so doing it ,gave to the school
which was willing to provide adequate facilities for the education of the student that patronage which in the interest of
society it should have.
And with this new ·e ra has come a change quite as
remarkable in the attitude of the professional student toward
the institution where he pursues his professional work. The
professional student down to within a very short time acted
toward the professional school as one might suppose he
would act toward an institution the members of whose faculti-es assumed the attitude of the old-fashioned professional
instructor. He looked upon the professional school as a
place to buy something which h·e wanted. He felt that his
duty was clone fully sattsfied, when 'he paid his money, in
return for which he received certain instruction-with a
very similar spirit to that which you or I have when we go
into a corner grocery and deposit a quarter for a pound of
fish or a package of sugar. We have no other feeling than
that of mere business. This was the relation of the professional student toward his institution, but with every
approach of the professional school to the university and the
university spirit, with every union among professional
schools and colleg.e s into a un.iversity, has come a tendency
to take a new and higher view of one's relation toward the
institution. An ethical relation is immediately establshe1J
12

�between the institution and· the student who enters t'.i:J.e
confines of the university-a relation whose influence for
good is beyond the power of calculation. We believe
that we see already in the few short weeks th,a.t have elapseJ
since this building was opened for work a marked change
in the attitude of the students of our professional schools
toward the students in other departments, toward the school
itself toward the university as a whole. And we conficlentl:\i
believe that this attitude is destined to grow more and moro
into that of a loving son toward a cherishing mother-a
feeling of indebtedness on one side, a similar de,s ire to do
service on the other-a relation out of which will spring a
higher -e thical standard-a far more efficient professional
equipment and far more ideal relation toward all one's 'Cluties
inside and outside of the university.
The relative advantages of univ-ersities located in small
towns and in large cities have often been discussed. I presume that the discussion wiH continue as long as some institutions are in great citi-es and some are in small country
towns. There are undoubtedly distinct advantages associated
with both types of institution, and so far as I s-ee the only
sensible thing for any institution to do is to ex:ploit its
particular advantages in such a way as to do the largest
possible s-e rvice to the community in which it is located.
The fact that nearly three thousand students have registered
for work in the degree giving departments of Northwestern
during the present academic year and that nearly another
thousand have registered for work in the preparatory school
and co-operating schools of the University is an ample
demonstration that this institution is doing a great and
useful and needeJ service. It must by the law of its own
life, develop in the most complete way, equip itself for the
very highest service of which it is capable. I do not know
what the future may have in store for us as to the location
of our various departments. They may remain, some as they
are in the heart of this great city-some in that most beautiful of suburban cities-Evanston. The development of this
institution may, however, make it desirable to locate them
elsewhere, but I am confident that we shall he able to meet
each particular problem as it presents itself successfully. I
am confident that we can not only maintain the existing
standards of ·existing departments, but that we can improve,
we can raise these standards, we can improve the facilities,
we can add to. these departments until we have in every
13

�respect a w ell rounded and complete institution, fully organized for the highest quality of work. We are at present a
city university. vVe have the advantages and the disadvantages of such a school. It has been to a certain extent imposed upon us by a development of which our predecessors
were largely unconscious. Ours it is to take up the multiform problems which present themselves in every one of
these departments, and in the 'llew departments which shall
be added, and give to them that faithful care, continuous
attention which will insure the best results.
I may say to the people of this community who are
interested in our welfare and who are watching our development with sympathy, and who will come to our support in
proportion as we do our duty, that we can pledge to them our
best servic'e, not simply in making this building the center
of a great group of educational forces of every kind which
shall serve this community, but in erecting new buildings,
in planning n e w departments, in extending still further the
facilities which we have created and opportunities which are
opening before us . 'i1/e extend to our Board of Trustees again
our :nost cordial thanks, and bespeak their co-operation and
support in this good work to which they have called us,
which we have assumed and which thereby is becoming a
common burden and common responsibility. And whatever
glory or honor may r esult will be a common glory and common honor to trustees and faculties alike.
It wou ld hardly be proper to close my remarks without at
least a word of congratulation to the students who are privlleged to find the facilities for their work in this great building, with this magnificent equipment, in this convenient location. I believe it is not too much to say that no law school
in the heart of any great city in the world is hetter housed,
better located, better equipped, not merely for profes-s ional
study and professional work, but for the cultivation of those
finer sides of academic life which spring from the association
in oll'e great institution of so many young men of many
different minds and many different trainings_
There are advantages, of course, in a law school situated
in the country. Th·ere are other and great advantages in
the law school located in the heart of a great city, in the
pulsating life of the community of which th·e se young men
will so soon be a part, in a great center of the courts of
justice and legal libraries and business of the community,
where aH these influences by their subtle forces can work

14

�-

in upon the mind of the young man and develop him to the
ll.ighest point of his usefulness; and these advantages-such
as they are, are ours; for our school and this location.
Certainly a mere glanc·e at the great clinic room on th-3
'Sixth floor and an exa·: nination of the lecture rooms and
laboratories grouped about that instrumentality will be sufficient to convince anyone that no school in the vory heart
of a great city anywhere in the world is better equipped for
the most thorough sort of scientific and practical work than
the dental ·s chool in this building. There are certain advantages for the study of the sciences in the plan of uniting
the medical and dental stud·e nts. These peculiar advantages
are not curs. There are on the other hand still greater advantages in the system of providing separate faciliti-es for
the study of thes-e sciences, such as anatomy, physiology,
'etc., for the dental students. These are the advantages we
1&gt;ossess, and it is our duty to utilize them to the very fullest
-extent, to minimize their defects, to magnify their excellence, to work them in a word to the very fullest extent of
,our ability.
The men who have examined the faciliti-es which we
•offer in th·e School of Pharmacy tell me that they are not
surpassed by any other plant, by any other opportunities to
be found in the heart of a great city. If so, it is our duty
to utilize them in a way which will be of the largest advantage to the student. I feel, therefore, like congratulating
,our students upon the greater opportunities and facilities
which this building will offer to them in every department
of their work, and I have no doubt mys-elf that they will
Tespond to these increased facilities and opportuniti-es in a
new spirit, with a new vigor, and go out from us into the
.great world beyond prepared in a far more thorough way
than any of their predecessors for the r esponsibilities which
the life of the world will bring with it."

Brief congratulatory addresses w~r e made by repre·sentatives from other universities and schools, after which
the exerdses were concluded with a hymn and the benediction.

Hi

�THE PLACE OF THE PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL IN THE
MODERN AMERICAN UNIVERSITY.
By Arthur Twining

Hadley, President of Yale University.

There are two traditioI\al conceptions of a universitythe German and the, English. The G-e rman regards it primarily as a group of professional schools. It has its three
faculties avowedly devoted to the instruction of candidates.
in theology, law and medicine; and a fourth facu lty, which
until the last century was a sort of college of arts, designed
to prepare the pupil for these professional schools, but which
has now become a department of philosophy, intendeJ1 for
the training of t eache-rs and investigators. To an institution
which has these four faculties the German gives the na:ne
"university"; to one which does not possess them he denies.
the, right to the name.
Opposed to this is the English conception, which takes
little or no account of professional education. The Engli.shman regards the university as a place where, to quote the
woris of President Wilson, " many are traine,J, to the love of
letters and science, and a few to their successful pursuit."
A college or group of colleges which does thiJ is regarded
as obtaini.n g thereby the ri,:\"ht to the title "university." Pro
fession-al schools naturally tend to group themselves about
such colleges, but, in the opinion of those who hold the
English view, they are mere accidents of university development rather than its essential features.
I do not believe that either of these, views, in its extrem e
form, is correct. I would not, indeed, deny the title univers ity to an institution which was successfully conducted
either on the old Eng!is•h model or on the old German mo:l.el;.
but I b"elieve that in each case it would fall sh ort of the full
realization of what a university can be anj ought to be.
If it consists almost entirely of professional schools, it
tends to lose that spirit of idealis m which is important at all
times, and never more so than in America today, It becomes practical in the bad S'ense of the word rather than in
the good one. To a certain extent every univ ersity shoul ct
be practical. It shoujj adapt means to ends in education.

17

�It should show its students how to ,d'0 public service. But if
it goes one step farther and confines its attention to those
things which bring a visible r eturn, it does great harm.
It is essential to the future of the nation that there should
be men who look at the service rather than th·e rewardmen with whom things of sentiment count for just as much
as things of business; and it is perhaps the highest duty
-of the university, in its teaching of science and letters, of
morality and r eligion, to cultivate this way of looking at
things. If it fails to do this it will, in an old country like
'Germ any, become imbued with the spirit of officialism; in
a new country like America, with that of commercialism.
On the other hand, a university of the English type is
likely to fall into idealism in the bad sense of the word.
Ev-ery university should be dominated by ide,a lism to this
•extent: that it should be in spired by nobl e and far-reaching
motives , and shouh'!- inspire such motives in its students .
"But if this idea1ism becomes unpractical, and is made an excuse for not giving effect to thePe motives in the every-day
work of the world, it is bad. Without the infusion of a
strong ·e lement of profe,s sional study into university life, the
danger of this unpractical idealism becomes a serious one.
It is the duty of a university to teach disinterested service.
1f its at:nosphere becomes exclusively professional it teaches
'service, but not disinterestedness; if it becomes exclusively
non-professional it teaches ,d,i sinterestedsess but not service.
It is our problem to combine the two.
Fortunately, the American university ideal, so far as it has
been form ed, recognizes Ure need of this combination.
There was indeed a time, especially during th·e eighteenth
century, when American views were much narrower. The
·e arly American college was an attempt to reproduce, as far
as the circumstances admittecl, the colleges of Oxford and
of Cambridge, which constituted the type of higher education
most familiar to the majority of the colonists. The circumstances of organization differed wid•e ly in different colonies.
·Harvard was established on the basis of a legacy, .small ·b y
pres·e nt standard s , but for that day very large. William and
Mary was chartered by the state of Virginia and aided by
private subscription. Yale was the outcome of the co-operative effort of ministers in differnnt parts of Connecticut.
Princeton was the result of the organized activity of the
New York Presbytery. Columbia enjoyed the favor of a
Toya! charter and substantial a dvantages connected there18

�with. But all these clivergences of origin macle more notice-able the existence of a common type of stucly, common
methocls of government, ancl common purposes of trainingall on the English moclel.
The question i.q so:netimes asked whether these early
American colleges were intencled as copies of English institutions or as places of education for the ministry. The trueanswer probably is that the two went hand in hancl. To the·
mincls of the colonists, south a&lt;1 well as north, one of these
objects was bouncl up with the other. It is -significant that
William and Mary College, perhaps more indepenclent of
theological influences in its founclation than any other, was
the one in whose act of incorporation the purpose of ministerial training is most explicitly emphasized. Throughout
the whole of English-speaking America, in the periocl of
colonial organization , the clergy was the one profession in
whose ranks the need• for a consiclerable number of learnej
men was felt, ancl it was for that very reason also the ou-e
to whose hancls the direction of education was largely entrustecl.
Of special preparation for callings other than the ministry, these infant colleges did little or nothing. Our early
professional schools of law and medicine grew up somewhat
at random, wherever an able teacher or group of teachers
might happen to make their abiding place. Sometime-s
incleed, this would be in connection with a college, as was
the case with the schools of medicine which were founded
in Philadelphia and in N·ew York toward the close of the
eighteenth century, or the various professional schools which
grouped themselves about Harvard ancl Yale during the early
years of the nineteenth. Sorneti:nes they were connected
with acaclemies, as in the case of the meclical college at Fairfield, New York. Sometimes they stooj by themselves, wholly
independent o,f affiliations with any other school whatever.
like the celebrated law school at Litchfield, Connecticut.
The success of these institutions was to a singular
clegr-ee inclependent of their location. Fairfield Medical College was in an obscure village on the borders of the Adironclacks. Yet Fairfield, under the leadership of Dr. Willoughby,
could boast more stuclents than attended the lecture halls
in Boston, New York, or Philadelphia, and it not only trained
the bulk of its pupils for the practice of medicine, but turned
to the study of biological science a man like Asa Gray.
Even more conspicuous in its indepenclence of accessory ajjs
19

�was th e law school at Litchfield. Founded in a small country town, r emote from important cities or courts, it dep ended
fo r its streng th upon the per sonality of its two professors,
Judge R eeve and Judge Gould. It n ev-er was incorporated.
It appears t o have had no syst em of final examinations, a
week ly exa mination or r eview of the work constituting the
most definite t est which the school attempted to imposea nd this· a s a mean s of enabling the Qtudents to test their own
lm owledge, rather than to have it inspecteJ or certified from
outside. It n ever r eceived an endowment nor gav-e a deg r ee. For the first thir,,l of its existence, from 1782 to 1798,
there is no r ecord of the names of the students who attended
it . But of t hose who complet ed its cours,e of stud y during
the Temaining years of
its operation, sixteen became
United States Senators, fifty member,s of Congress, fort.,,judg es of 'nigher state courts, eight •chief justices of state -, ,
1Jwo justices of the United States Supreme Court, ten governors of s tates and five ca:binet ministers Tile .,ignificance of
these numbep.:; will ap•p ear when we remember that for the
period of greatest activity of the school this m1mber of
sixteen senators r epresented approximately half of the
United States Senate.
But while the history of these schools and their pupils
illu strates the possibilities of academic freedom , it also
illustrates i.n ·e qual measure how pr-e carious is the attainment of these possibilities and how wholly dependent on
the activity of one or two individuals. It is noticeable that
after the death of Judge Reeve the Litchfield Law School
produced no more Calhouns and Ellsworths and Claytons.
After Dr. Willoughby retired from active service of instruction Fairfiel,d Medical College sank at once from its position
of dominance to a place wholly secondary. The work of
these schools was the work of individuals, and subjected to
all the chances which attend the individual life anJ health.
However great might be their success at the moment, these
unorganizeJ.1 teaching institutions could not in the i!ong run
compete with others which had such organization and endowment as would give continuity ,t o their influence. Just
as in mediaeval times the brilliant instruction in the independent schools founded by men like Ab'elard was gradually
superseded by the formation of well developed universiU:es
with a local habitation and name and history, so in th·e
United States of AJmerica six centuries later, the professional school which derived its power from the single man

20

�-or group of men gave plac·e t o one whose collegiate conneet ion r ender ed its position a nd influence historic.
Even apart from th e n eed fo r such continuous history,
t her e was enough common ground of interest between the
,college and the professional school to make the concurrence
o f the two a mutual ,s timulus, if not an actual source of
economy. The colleges, being alr,e ady in some m easure
en dowed, could n ot be moved. Therefor e the professional
.s cho ols t end eJ1 to g r avitat e toward the colleges, either at
their inception or soon afterwards. For whatever be the
respe ctive weight of brains anJ of capital in the organ_ization of a university, the former is on the whole ·e asier to
move than the latter. Ther e was indeed a partial exception
in the cas e of divinity schools, which, being more fully ,endow ed than schools of medicine or of law, had their local
habitation correspondingly fixed. But in s pite of this
exception, the first half century of our national lif.e wit·n essed the group.ing of t'i:l.e professional school.a aroun,d foe
older colleges, espe cially where those colleges were located
in cities of considerable size. Columbia and Pennsylvania
both hruJ their department of m edicine before the close of
the last century, and a generation later there were not a few
institutions which haJ, in name at least, the apparatus of a
·university, with its four traditional faculties of law, theology,
medicine and arts . By the middle of the nineteenth century
:this combination of college and prof.easional sd:10ols had
become establish·e d as the typical American university. To
this type all our leading institutions-denominational or
_general, public or private-tended sooner or later to
gravitate.
The 'l)revalen,ce of this type and its essentia,l ·a daptation
to American condition s wer.e emphasized by the failure of
,,certain attempts to diverge to another type wherein college
·and professional schooLs shouM: be more closely combined.
'This combination of •c ollege and prof.essdonal irnstruction was
a favorite iclea of Thomas Jefferson; and in the establishment of the University of Virginia he obtained an excell~nt
,opportunity to realize this ideal. Ten professorships were
-establish·ed, whose character, when they are compared with
·those of any other contemporary institution in this country,
,shows clearly enough the trend of Jefferson's purposesfirst, ancient languages; second, modern languages; third,
pure mathematics; fourth, mathematical physics; fifth,
,chemistry and mineralogy; sixth, botany and zoology; sev-

21

�enth, anatomy and medicine; eighth, government; ninth,.
law; tenth, idiology-which is further defined as general
grammar, et'ilics, rhetoric, belles lettres and thie fine arts.
An even more conspicuous attempt to realize Jefferson's.
purposes and follow his ideas is found in the original territorial charter of the University of Michigan, which in its
way is a classical document, and whose opening I cannot
refrain from quoting in full.
"AN ACT to establish the Catholepistemiad, or University
of Michigania (1817).
Be it enacted by the Governor and the Judges of the,
Territory of Michigan , That ther.e shall be in the said Terri-

tory a Catholepistemiad, or University, denominated th·eCatholepistemiad or University of Michigania. The Catholepistemiad or Univer,;;ity of Michigania shall be com-·
posed of thirteen Didaxum, or Professorships; first, a
Didaxia, or Professorship of Cathole,pistemia, or universal
sci'ence, the Didactor or professor of which shall be President
of the institution; second, a Didaxia or professorship of Anthropoglossica, or literature, embracing all the Epistemum
or sciences relative to language; third, a Didaxia or professorship of Mathematica, or Mathematics; fourth, a Didaxia
or professorship of Physiognostica or Natural History; fifth,
a Didaxia or professorship of Physiosophica or Natural Philosophy; sixth, a Didaxia or professorship of Astronomia, or
Astronomy; seventh, a Didaxia or professorship of Chymia,
or Che:nistry; eighth, a Di&gt;J-axi-a or professorship Iatrica or
Med ical Sciences; ninth, a Didaxia or professorship of
u econo:nia, or Economical Sciences; -tenth, a Didaxia or professorship of Ethica, or Ethical Sciences; eleventh, a Didaxia
or professorship of Polemitactica, or Military Sciences ;
twelfth, a Didaxia or prof.essorship of Diegetica, or Historical
Sciences, and, thirteenth, a Didaxia or professorship of
Ennoeica, or Intellectual Sciences, embracing all the Epistemum or science relative to the minds of animals, to the
human mind, to spiritual existence, to the Deity, and to Religion; the Didactor or professor of which shall be Vice
President of the Institution ."
Yet Michigan, in spite of these ambitious preliminarie-s,
reverted to the old type where college and professional
school were aggrega,ted sid·e by side, rather than clos-ely
united with one another. And it is needless to tell an audience like this what unriva:leJ, work Michigan did on the ol,l
lines; while Virginia, which adh·ered to its original form of

22

�instruction and organization, r emained isolate d. Not only
did other im,titutions fail to follow its example, but its influ ence on the science and scholarship of the country
r emain ed far less than was exp·e cted. I do not wish to
ignore the high character and eminent services of that instit ut ion. It sent out a large numb er of excellent men, who
wer e well taught and who owed much to this teaching. But
all this merit of the university and of its gmduates only
ser ves to e mphasize its cardinal failure in that on which
Jefferson would have laid the most stress-its failur e to
assum e that position of leadership to which its organization
and resources seemed to entitle it. We may regard it as
settled by the logic of history that the American university,
for the pres ent at any rate, shall have both its school of
.arts as a center of ideaHsm and its several professional
schools as means of p,r actical realization of the ideals.
But there are equally i:nportant questions bearing on the
future of the professional schools, which are by no means
thus settled. One of these deals with the proper mefood of
-co-ordination between the different parts of a university.
:Shall we regard the college as a sort of preparatory department, through which all should, if possible, be made to pass
o efore they enter the professional schools? Or shall we
regard the different departments, collegiate and professiona:.
as existing side by side? For some kinds of professional
training this question answers itself. No institution, so far
as I am aware, tries to require a previous college course as
preliminary to taking up the study of engineering or technology. We have today many schools which furnish excellent courses of training for these professions, wherein the
acaJemic ,an,J the technical elements are skH!fully combined
-courses intended to give to the student breadth of interest,
while at the same time preparing him for the special needs
•of his subsequent career. To say that these things cannot
•effectively be combined anJ that it is impossible to unite the
education of the specialist with that of the gentleman, is
to ignore the work done by institutions like West Point and
Annapolis, not to speak of that of the many excellent technical schools which are scattered throughout the country. It
is to shut one's eyes to the history of the Sheffield and Lawr ence Sci-entific Schools, and of many of the most ·e fficient
departments of Cornell. Nay, the assimilat10n of collegiate
and of techn,i cal courses has become so close that it is impossible to say where one type ceases and the other begins.

23

�To quote the words of a keen obs·e rver of the trend of
d·e velopment in these matt.er s: " The differen ce between
collegiate and technical schools has become one of degree·
rath·e r than of kind."
It is only for the so-called "learne d" professions of
theology, law a nd medicine tha t the preliminary course in
college is anywhere demanded 'a s a prerequisite; and even
in these cases I believe that this r equirement is a mistake.
It perpetuates a ,,fiistinction between learnej and unlearned
which is contrary to the spirit of America:n institutions.
Its tendency is to shut out boys whose fathers have no,
money from the practice of th e callings which it affects. I
also believe that it will tend to lower the standard of our
collegiate degrees. For if we are to require a certain degree
of all c andidates for law or medicine, we ,s hall be under
constant pressure to reduce the requirement for that degree·
to the minimum which it is easy to eixact of ,a ll. Let the
preliminary ex31m,inations of our professional ,s chools be fixed
as high as may be necessary ; but let us not, in lieu of such
r eal r equirement, insist on preliminary residence at a col-·
legiate institution from thos,e who lack •e ither the mon ey or
the inclination to profit th er eby. An.J., let u s be permitted in
th e futur e, as we have been in the past, to construct our
collegiate -c ourses to ·: neet the n eeds of those who want them.
instead of reconstructing t.h em to meet th e neeJ:s of t'hose
who do not want them.
There• is a second question concerning th e position of
our professional s chools, less prominently in the for eground
of public discussion, but no less important. Shall we consider it their a im to prepar e men for practical service in
their -sever31l ca1lings? Or shall we regard them a s places of
r esearch, whose contribution to scientific progress furnishes.
their main justification and whose t eaching work is only
incid•e ntal ?
There was a time when the former object was kept in
view, often in ,t he most short-sighted fashion to the complete·
exclusion of the latter. Our early: schools of law and medicin e, and e,v en of th eology, were for the most part purely
technical in their character. They wer e intenjed to substitute a tra ining in the classroom for a part of that training
which a generation earlier the man who intend ed to be, a
lawyer or a phy,s ician had received iin the office of some profess ional m an of standing. The t eaching of practice was
made far more important than the teachin g of theory . To
24

�write a prescription, to collect a note, to compose a sermon;
these were the things which the students who r.esorted to the·
professional schools of the beginning of the century most
desired to learn. As a consequence, there was relatively·
little scientific training. It is noted in the advertisement of
the Litchfield Law School, as a distinctive feature which
makes this school superior to others of its kind, that iL
teaches the principles which govern the whole law in its
var,ious .applicatiorus, and that whenev,e r t~e opinions upon
any point are contradictory, the •a uthorities are cited and.
the arguments pr-e sented in a clear and concise manner,.
together with the lecturer's own views; further, that the·
·e xamination or review at the end of the week involves an
investigation of t'~rn pr,in-ci,p les in ·each rule, and not merelysuch questions as can be answer-e d from memory, withqut
exercise of judgment. That these things should be stated
publicly as absolutely distinctive casts light on what was
allowed to pass muster at law schools in other places. Nor•,foes it appear that the in.struction in the major,ity of medical.
school,s was more scientifically arranged than in the law·
schools. Many of these here present can remember the time,
when the idea of arranging medioal stud,ies in .an orderly
sequence, with scientific theory at the foundation and practical details reserved for the later years of the course, wasregarded as novel and startling. With the scientific basis of
teaching thi1s unrecognized, it was hopeless to expect full
development of those laboratory facilities which are now
regar-d ed as fundamentally essential, a1ike for the traiining;
of the student and for stimulating th·e professor.
In the schools of theology the instruction was perhaps a
little bett€r ,g raded, for the teaching given ,b y the colleges in
languages and philosophy provided a good theoretical st·a.rting point for courses in exegesis or in homiletics. But th e·
possibility of free inv,e stigation or progressive research was
no greater than in the law or medical schools. In fact, iL
was even less; for the majority of schools of theology had
in their endowments conditions which compelled the profes-sorial body to teach particular creeds, formulated in the
conservative fashion of a bygone day, and not always easy·
to reconcile with the results of progressive criticism. In
some of these institutions -it was required not only that the·
professors must subscribe to a certain creed at the outset,
but that they must at stated intervals renew their subscription. In th·e incisive words of Dr. Leonard Bacon concerning;

25

�a s chool of divinity whose methods he disapproved, they
made each candidate for a professorship assent to a creel
which showed that he knew nothing when he went there, and
they further provided that at intervals of five years he should
r epeat 'his signa:ture to the sa::ne ,creeJ, for fear that ,by some
unforeseen chance h e might learn something after h e got
there.
T he r eaction against this vi ew wa s natural and salutary;
but it seems to m e that we have today, in some places at
any rate, gone to th e other extreme. Far be it from me to
.say one word which might seem to depreciate the value of
r esearch. It is a thing of great importance to the community, and thos e who are engaged therein often show thems e,l ves all the better t eachers on that account. But we make
a mistake if we fix our eyes too exclusively on r esearch at
the expense of teaching and estimate the value of a university
solely on the form er basis. It may be true that one real jurist
is worth a hundred ordinary lawyers; that one ;nedical
di s coverer does more good than a thousand physicians; that
one prophet is worth ten thousand teachers of the conven•tional type. Nevertheless the .i nstitution which tries only to
make jurists, or discoverers or prophets wiH fail of giving
· the country the lawyers and doctors and ministers which it
wants . It is in the power of the professional school to be
:something more than a mere profession.al school, but not by
neglecting its plain duty of technical training. To emphasize
th e n eeds of practical life was the original function of the
organi zed professional school in univ e,r sity affairs; and, amid
all th e changes which have taken place in its position and
:influence, it is still charged with the same duty and investe l
with the same privilege.
Where the technical school exists side by side with tile
·college, this aspect of the matter will take care, of itself.
'There is no danger that our schools of civH or mechanical
•engineering or of architecture, or of applied chemistry, or
,of any other of the many s-cientific courses whic'n we have
,. developed, Wiil negl ect their teaching functions. The best
·of these schools will, indeed, do research work, and much
·of it; but th.is research will be carried on by the instructors
·and the students who remain after graduation in such a way
that it does not interfere with the course of study and dis·cipline which is intended to fit the larger body of unler~racluates for the work of practical life. Indeed, I think we
,may say that the distinguishing feature of the American
26

�universi ty sy;;tem as compared with that of German y, or·
even of France, is that we have side by side a great man y
different kinds of colleges, followed by a departm en t of
graduate instruction which serves and supplements them all..
The American graduate school is wider in its scope and at
the same time more practical in its methods than the so-•
called department of philosophy in any German university .
The department of philosophy in the Old World r epresents
the graduate instruction wluch naturally attached itself to
the work of a now obsolete college of arts; from which
college of arts, however , the schools of engineering a nd
mining and chemistry were excluded from participation . The
graduate school of the New World represents the much wider
group of stujies which follows collegiate courses in arts and
science both. It represents the research of men who are
engaged in the teaching of technology, not less than those
who are engaged in the teaching of literature, philosophy or
pure science. I am inclined to believe that it would be a
salutary thing if it went one step farther and included
within its sphere research work in law and medicine -and.
theology. There is no natural reason why these should be
excluded. There is no natural line which can be drawn.
between physiology and pathology, between institutional history and legal history, hetween ontological deduction and
theological deduction. Wherever in our American institutions these artificial lines of separation have been broken
down, the result has been salutary for the instructors, fo e
students and the general spirit of the plaee.
The one thing which maintains these somewhat arbitrary
jistinctions is the tradition that the schools of theology, law
and medicine are the::nselves graduate schools; that they are
co-ordinate with the department of philosophy rather than with
the college of arts; and that, in justice to their own superior
position of dignity, they must claim the right to do the kind
of work and use the kind of methods and seek the kind of
results which are appropriate for those who, in the departments of art anj technology, have finished their regularcourse and are now enjoying special training in the pursuit
of pure sci,3nce-in other words, that the student of law or
medicine must be treated as if he were a graduate student.
This is an essentially unnatural position. Nine-tenths of the
students of law and medicine and theology want ·a defined
course of study. They may not wish to have an absolutely
d·e finite curriculum, but what they want comes quite as n ear·

27

�to it as that which exists in the schools of technology, and
much nearer to it than what remains in most of our colleg.e s.
Jf, on account of a desire that all their students should be
graduates, however legitimate and proper that desire may be
-in its motives, they treat themselves as graJuate departments, it seems to me that one of two consequences must
follow. Either they will ,s acrifice their researches to the
curriculum, or they will sacrifice the curriculum to th8h'
:researches. The former has been, on the whole, the case in
Ger;nany and France, where, in spite of brilliant and honorable exceptions, the professiom3,l schools have been in per·petual danger of degenerating into routine. The latter is a
J)eril which, if the signs do not fail, besets some of our most
progressive institutions in America-the peril of sacrificing
the r eal inte,r ests of the many for the supposed interests of
the few. I say "supposed" interests, because I believe that
with a course of study more or less avowedly collegiate in
.i ts character, intended for those who were seeking the
straight road to the honorable practice of their profession,
followed by graduate courses in law or medicine or theology
for the minority who intended to deal with these subjects as
investigators, we could meet the necessities of both classes
in the long run quite as effectively as we do when we tend
to confuse the two.
It is too early to predict what will be the dominant type
of American university development in the next generation.
But I cannot refrain from expressing th·e hope that it will be
-one where every departiment assumes the burdens and. th &lt;l
_privileges of t eaching the many; where the r esearches of
th e few are made to help this teaching directly as well as inJirectly and not allowed to stand in its way; where the distinction between the collegiate_course and the more individualized graduate school will subsist, not for parts of the university, but for the whole. MaJJ.y influences seem to be
working in this dir-e ction. The ·e stablishment of well endowed institutes of research, acting in co-operation with
our universities, by relieving th·e m of some of the heaviest
vecuniary burdens incident to special investigations and by
r elieving the community of the ·e xpense which arises when
-such investigations are carried on competitively and piecemeal in a number of plaees, will bring home to the administrators of our educational institutions the importance of that
duty of teaching which they have boen sometimes pro,ne to
neglect, and will leave them free to use in that high calli'ng

28

�a larger vroportion of their income and their power than has
hitherto been possible. To him who believes that men ·e xist
for ,~cience' sake this will seem a lowering of the d,deal.
To him who believes that science exists for man's sake, this
will not be a lowering, but an ennobling, of ideals. For he
will understand that the contact with the affairs of daily
life which is furnished by the necessities of practical teaching of the many, though it may s·e em at times a vexation and
a snare, is the surest means of preventing our learning from
degenerating into a mere scholastic philosophy, and of making
it continue to be in the future, as it has been in the past, the
instrument of the largest public service. May this be the
view of those who are charged with determining the destinies
of Northwestern University; and may it be the high privilege of those who here teach and investigate thus to realize
tthe full measure of what such an institution can accomplish!

SCHEDULE OF HOURS.
The schedule of hours is so arranged that the courses are given
in general as follows : first year courses, between one and four
o'clock in the afternoon; second year courses, between nine and
twelve o'clock in the morning; third year courses, between three and
seven o'clock in the afternoon. The Practice Court is held in the
evening at half past seven.
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 and Other lnstrmnents-ln the courses on Common
Law Pleading, Code 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. In Corporations, the
class is formed, during the second term, into two corporations, which
organize, elect officers, issue stock, enlarge capital, keep books, consolidate, and do various other acts of corporate business which call
for the drafting of instruments and otherwise familiarize the student
with the modes of using the legal knowledge acquired. In the other
courses, particularly Commercial Paper, Carriers, Insurance, and the
like, particular attention is paid to the study of forms of instruments
in common use.
2. Conveyancing-In the course pn conveyancing the chief material of the work consists in a series of selected abstracts of title,
some fifteen in all, representing the greatest variety of document3
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, and with regard to the laws of
the different States. Thorough work in this course ought to equip
the student as a practical conveyancer at the time of 'his entering
upon his profession. No one may take this course who has not
already taken the courses Property I and II.

�10

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.

3. Practice Coiirt-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 mean time, between the sess.ions,
numbers of causes are being prepared and advanced from .tage
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 clone, so that each one obtains
aome lilenefit 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. Legal Tactics-For the past two years, on every Monday
evening until April, an address was given, by some well-known
member of the Bar, upon some topic of practice in which he had had
special experience, and in which the communication of personal
experience was of special value as a guide to others. This course
has been of particular value to young practitioners already at the
Bar, and will be repeated in r904-r905, with some variations.
5. 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 rst. The the!lis must
be presented on or before May r5th 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.
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.

�THE LAW SCHOOL.

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 Jaw in Illinois.

ADVANCED STANDING.

The requirements in regard to advanced standing are
explained under the 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 Dean.
DEGREES.

All degrees are conferred at the general University Commencement. On this occasion all candidates for degrees are
required to present themselves in person, the Oxford cap
and gown being worn as the official dress.

FOUNDING, PURPOSE AND LOCATION
OF THE LAW SCHOOL

The Law School was founded in 1859, with a sum of
money given by Thomas Hoyne ; there being at the time
but three similar schools west of the Alleghany Mountains.
The first professor and dean was Henry Booth, 1859-1891.
For many years the School was known as the Union College of Law, being under the joint control of the old
University of Chicago and of Northwestern University,
but when taken over wholly by Northwestern University
in 1891 it assumed its present name.
Students from all parts of the country may obtain a
thorough training in the various subjects of the law. The
course of study is arranged so as to give the knowledge of
the law that will be indispensable to students wherever
they may practice. Graduates of the Law School now
practice in nearly forty States and Territories. Special
opportunities, however, are afforded for acquiring a knowledge of the law of Illinois, the peculiarities of which are
pointed out in every course.
.
The School is located in Northwestern University
Building, at the corner of Lake and Dearborn Streets,
Chicago. This building was acquired and equipped in
1901-02, at a cost of nearly one million dollars, for the
purpose of securing a permanent home for the departments
of law, dentistry and pharmacy. It is located near the
center of the business district of Chicago and is easy of
access from all residence portions of the city. The City,
State, and Federal Courts are within a few blocks and
afford students an opportunity to witness the practice of
litigation in varied forms. The School occupies the entire
third floor, 24,000 square feet of space. The quarters include a library and reading-room, three lecture-rooms, a
Faculty room, an assembly room for the students and
private study-rooms for the clubs, besides offices for the
members of the Faculty and the Illinois Law Review.

THE LIBRARY

The library is well equipped for study and research.
It includes duplicate sets of the United States Reports~
the official Reports of all the States and Territories, the
complete National Reporter System, partly in duplicate,
the Lawyers' Reports Annotated, all of the official Illinois
Reports in duplicate, statutes of all the States in the
Union, a large collection of digests, periodicals, encyclopedias and text-books. Of the English legal sources, it
possesses the complete Statutes, and substantially all the
regular Reports since the beginning of the Year Books
( except those appearing in law journals).
The Law School Library receives official copies of all
the briefs and records filed in cases before the Supreme
Court of the United States. These copies are received
at the library for the cases decided at the end of each
session of the Supreme Court and may be consulted by
members of the bar.
The Library also possesses the invaluable Gary Collections, covering special fields, the gifts of Hon. Elbert H.
Gary, '67, of New York City. These collections offer
unique opportunities for legal study and research:
A. The Gary Collection of Modern Continental Law, now
numbering some 10,000 volumes on the law of twenty-one European countries, as contained in statutes, decisions, journals, and
treatises, is more comprehensive in scope than any other collection
in the United States. As a source of investigation for Continental
Law, it provides facilities not available elsewhere.
B. The Gary Collection of International Law numbers nearly
volumes, and includes a large quantity of printed material
relating to American, British and Continental Diplomacy not elsewhere available in the West.

2,000

C. The Gary Collection of Ancient, Oriental, Primitive and
Medicroal Law includes the Hindu, Mohammedan, Hebrew, Baby6

�THE LIBRARY.

7

Ionian, Egyptian, Greek, Chinese, and Japanese systems, as wetl
as the medireval European materials. It numbers 1,500 volumes,
and offers unique facilities for research to students of comparative
legal history.
·

D. The Gary Collection of Roman and Civil Law numbers
volumes, including the library of the late Moritz Voigt, of
Leipzig, Germany, and contains many rare volumes not found
in any other American library.
E. The Gary Collection of Ecclesiastical Law numbers 200
volumes, containing a selection of the most useful texts, commentaries, and journals.
F. The Gary Collection of JurisPrudence and Philosophy of
Law numbers 500 volumes, and includes all the important Ameri·
can, English, German, French, Italian and Latin texts on this
subject.
G. The Gary Collection of Criminal Law and Criminology
is intended to provide the most ample materials, from all countries, for research in this growing subject. Thus far, in its first
year, only some 1,000 volumes have been acquired.
H. The Gary Collection of Latin-American Laws will include collections of the Jaws of Mexico, the Central American, and
the South American States, following the arrangement in the
Gary Collection of Modern Continental Law; that is, a collection
of the codes, decrees, decisions of the Supreme Court, most important treatises, and leading Jaw journals. The growing value
of this collection to the student and practitioner will be apparent.
Thus far the volumes installed number 400, and will be rapidly
increased.
I. The Gary Collection of Ame"rican Colonial Law (partly
installed) will include complete sets of Colonial Session laws
(partly reprints), revisions, and contemporary and modern treatises
on the laws of the colonies.
J. The Gary Collection of English Historical Legal Literature (partly completed) will include all material of this character
not now elsewhere accessible in the libraries of the West.

COURSE IN

PRACTICAL PROBLEMS IN CONTEMPORARY LEGISLATION.

This advanced, or seminar, course, open to third-year students
whose scholarship average is not less than B, will be offered in
the second term of the year. The course will count as one termhour of credit, and will be given in sessions of two hours each
week for the second term, each session to be in the nature of a
conference, and to consist of a report by one member of the
class, followed by criticism from the other members and the
instructor. A list of select topics, not less than twenty-five in all,
is posted on the Bulletin Board by October IS, and therewith a
short reference list for each topic to the appropriate material.
The topics will be assigned to the members of the class according
to their preferences; for this purpose all persons desiring to take
the course must register with the Secretary before October IS,
and the topics will be assigned at a preliminary meeting called
as soon thereafter as may be feasible . Each member will be
expected to make a thorough study of the :•.vailable materials
under his topic. He will then at the conference present a short
written summary of the nature of the problem, the proposed
remedies, and his conclusions thereon, accompanied by a bibliography of the materials consulted. This short report must be
circulated in manifold, among all members of the course, one week
beforehand. A more extended report or essay, covering all

member will have but one topic assigned to him, and will make
his report at such time after February I as may be determined
by mutual agreement at the preliminary meeting in October.

TRAINING IN LEGAL WRITING AND SPEAKING AND IN THE PRACTICE OF THE LAW.

As a part of the systematic instruction in the body of the law
represented in the foregoing curriculum, an effort is made to pro
vide 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:

�18

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

I. Pleadings and Other Instruments-In the courses on Common Law Pleading, Code Pleading and Equity Pleading, in addition to the study of the legal sources, the student is given exercises
in the drafting of the various kinds of pleadings. In Corporations,
the class is formed, during the second term, into two corporations,
which organize, elect officers, issue stock, enlarge capital, keep
books, consolidate, and do various other acts of corporate businesso
which call for the drafting of instruments and otherwise familiarize the student with the modes of using the legal knowledge
required. In the other courses, particularly Commercial Paper,
Carriers, Insurance, and the like, attention is paid to the study of
forms of instruments in common use.
2. Conveyancing-In the course on Conveyancing, the chief
material of the work consists in a series of selected abstracts of
title, some fifteen 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 mewber of the
class, and a detailed study is made of the various matters of form
and substance from the conveyancer's point of view, and with
regard to the laws of different States. Thorough work in this
course ought to equip the student as a practical conveyancer at the
time of his entering upon his profession. No one may take this
course who has not alrealy taken the courses Property I and II.
3. Trial Practice-In the several courses of lectures on Procedure and Practice a systematic and detailed survey is taken of the
rules of law. In the course on Evidence, the class is given several
sorts of auxiliary drill in the use of the rules. In the Practice
Court an opportunity is given to the third-year students to become
practically familiar with all 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 studentattorneys 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 report 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

�CURRICULUM FOR 1go8-1909.

19

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 anyone upon request.
4. Legal Tactics-For the past seven years, on every Monday
evening until April, an address was given, by some well-known
member of the Bar, upon some topic of practice in which he had
had special experience, and in which the communication of personal
experience was of special value as a guide to others. This course
has been of particular value to young practitioners already at the
Bar, and will be repeated in 1909-1910, with some changes. The
list of addresses, with the names of the speakers, for 1909-10,
will be published in the August-October number of the Quarterly
Bulletin.
5. 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 in any amount not exceeding two term hours
by presenting a satisfactory thesis upon some legal topic approved
by a member of the Faculty before December I. 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 October.
6. Editorial Work-The work of editing and digesting the
opinion and record of a decided case for the use of the profession
is of great value in cultivating the skill required for preparing
briefs and analyzing the value of a precedent. Each year not more
than seven members of known ability are appointed from the second and third-year classes as Associate Editors of the Illinois Law
Review, and have charge of digesting the manuscript decisions of
the Appellate Court.
7. Legal Writing and Forensics-The function of a lawyer, as
a 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. This instruction has been consolidated into a single graded course, continuing through the three
years, and is required for graduation. Persons entering with advanced standing who have not taken equivalent work elsewhere
are subject to the remaining requirements applicable to the class
which they enter, except ; that a candidate for a degree in one
year may be exempted from specified parts of the work, or may

�20

BULLETIN OF THE LAW SCHOOL.

be required to substitute the second year for the third year work.
The course at large is entitled, Legal Writing and Forensies.
In the first year it is entitled Forensics, Lectures and Exercises;
in the second year, Moot Court and Public Debate; in the third
year, Practical Legal Advice.
The credit for work &lt;lone is as follows: First year, r term
hour; second year, I term hour; third year, r term hour.
The first year work (prescribed) is as follows:
J. a. Voice Training; October and later; exercises in sections

term hour is ··allowed.
The second year work (prescribed) is as follows:
II. a. M o-ot Courts. In the second year a Moot Court is
held once a week from November I to May 1, at I :45 p. m.
The secon&lt;l year class is divided into two sections, A and B, each
section to meet on alternate weeks. The work consists of the
preparation and delivery of arguments and opinions of law on
statements of facts assigned beforehand. The mark of each member of the section is determined by his work as counsel, assigned
and unassigned, and as judge. No student shall be recommended
for a degree ( except by unanimous vote of the faculty) wlw has
not satisfactorily done the work of this course; except that person entering the third-year class from another School may by
vote be excused from this work.
b. Public Debate. A student entering the preliminary contests for the Towle Prizes for Public Speaking in April, and being
selected for the second preliminary and taking part therein, may
receive a credit of one term hour. No student shall be eligible for
this contest who has not taken the work of l, a, and b, or the
equivalent in another School.
The third year work (optional) is as follows:
III. a. Legal Advice Clubs. All third-year students may
form Legal Advice Clubs, formed by voluntary selection, on or
before October 10, supplemented by assignments to vacancies by
the Secretary of the School. Difficult cases arising in actual prac-tice, sent in for advice for alumni or other practitioners, will be
submitted to the Clubs in rotation as the cases come in. A written

grade C in more than one coune to be eligible for assignment.
The number of hours of work from each person to be determined
by agreement with the Superintendent of the Society. In 1908-og,
the usual arrangement was for each student-attorney to give one
or two half-days per week to the work of the Society.
For work done in part a a credit of one term hour will be
allowed each member of a club; provided that club has furnished
a suitable number of cases in the year.

THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION

The Young Men's Christian Association of Chicago
has established a branch which carries on work in the
three Schools in the University Building. In addition to
its religious work, the Association is of service to the
students in many ways. In the pleasant rooms, placed at
its disposal by the University, the Association maintains
a very popular social center with a well-selected list of
reading material, several games and a piano. Throughout
the year the list of rooms and boarding places is kept for
the use of students in settling in the city.
All students are invited to make the Association rooms
their headquarters during the year. As far as possible
new students will be met at the train by an Association
man wearing a badge. Those desiring to be so met will
please write a few days in advance to Y. M. C. A., Northwestern University Building, Chicago, indicating clearly on
what train they are to reach Chicago, and over what road
they are to come.

Judgments and Auxiliary Legal Remedies, and Patents of Invention.
The course on Patents is more fully described on page 12 of this

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).
The revised curriculum for 1902-1903 will therefore stand as
follows:

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.

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.

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:

BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES OF RECENT
APPOINTEES TO THE FACULTY.

The following appointments have been made by the Trustees of
the University, since the publication of the May number of the
BULLETIN, to that portion of the staff of instruction which devotes
itself entirely to the work of the school:
HENRY SCHOFIELD, Professor of Law, is a native of Dudley,
Massachusetts; prepared for college at Nichols Academy, in that
town; graduated from Harvard College in 1887, with the degree of
·A. B., and from the Harvard Law School in 1890, with the degrees of
LL. B. and A. M. He served for a year as clerk in the law office of
Messrs. Herrick and Allen, Chicago; then went for a year to Washington as assistant to Mr. Charles H. Aldrich, Solicitor General of the
United States. In 1892 he returned to Chicago, and was later associated in practice with Mr. Henry M. Bacon ; from 1900 to 1902 was
Assistant Corporation Counsel to the City of Chicago. Duringthe years
1899-1900 and 1900-1901 l1e was a lecturer in the John Marshall Law
School, and during 1901-1902 he has taught the subjects of Equity and
Constitutional Law in the Law School of Northwestern University.
FREDERIC CAMPBELL WOODWARD, Professor of Law, is a
native of Middletown, Orange Co. N. Y., and was graduated from
the Law School of Cornell University in 1894; in 1895 he received at
Cornell the degree of LL. M., and delivered a course of lectures on
Real Property in the Cornell Summer Law School. For s0me three
years he then practiced law in the city of New York, and since 1898
he has been a member of the faculty of Dickinson Law School at
Carlisle, Pennsylvania. He has contributed a number of articles

exercises at the Dickinson Law School in 1901. In 1902 he received
the honorary degree of A. M. from Dickinson College.
The following appointments have also been made, since the issue
of the May number of the BULLETIN, for the work of specific courses

�VI. 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. In 1896 he became professor of
Public Administration in tlie University of Chicago, and was also made
director of its -university-extension division, and until now has continued in those positions. Dr. James, while at the Wharton School,
founded the American Academy of Political and Social Science,and has
been its president since 1889; for several years he edited the Annals
of the Academy. He has been also Vice-president of the American

Tender Decisions," "The Canal and the Railway," "The Federal
Constitution of Germany," "The Federal Comtitution of Switzerland," "Charters of the City of Chicago," "The Government of a
Typical German City,"" The Education of Business Men in Europe,"
and other topics. 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.

Streets, were not completed in all parts until Saturday, October
18th, although the offices had been removed on September 15th,
and lectures were begun on the date announced in the calendar,
September 24th. A full description of the apartments, with their
furnishings, pictures, and other equipment, has already been
printed in a separate pamphlet, and was mailed to all alumni on
October roth in connection with the notice of the Inaugural Exercises. All the features of the equipment seem to have met
with the unanimous approval and commendation of Trustees,
Faculty, alumni, and students. With a curriculum not excelled
by any law school in this country, the School now possesses every
material aid and convenience for carrying on its work with the
highest efficacy.
The Inaugural Exercises were originally appointed for Friday,
October 3d, a date fixed upon as coincident with that of President
Roosevelt's visit to Chicago. The President had promised in June
to attend the Exercises as a part of the programme of his Chicago
visit. But in the midst of the preparations for his arrival the official
announcement was made of the abandonment of the Presidential
tour in the west. The exercises were therefore postponed until the
quarters should be in complete readiness, and the date was fixed for
Monday, October 20th. This day, falling on the second of the three
days (October 19-21) already appointed for the Installation Ceremonies of President James, was the more appropriate because of
the opportunity thus afforded for uniting the celebrations and for
exhibiting the quarters to the many alumni and delegates of other
Universities who were to come to Chicago and Evanston to attend
the Installation. The Honorable Oliver Wendell Holmes, Chief J ustice of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, and recently
nominated to be Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States,

had in June accepted an invitation to attend the Inaugural Exercises as the guest of the University, and now consented to deliver
the address on that occasion. Since Booth Hall was limited in its
seating capacity to 300, it was found necessary to restrict the
invitations chiefly to alumni (2 50 in number), and besides these
to include only the Trustees, the Federal and State Judges in
Chicago, the Faculty of the School, the Deans of other Departments of the University, the Deans of other law schools in Chicago, the President of the Chicago Bar Association, and the Librarian of the Chicago Law Institute, with a few others including
donors to the equipment of the school and members of the Bar
attending the Installation as delegates from other Universities.
To the reception which followed the exercises were invited all
alumni who could not be accommodated in Booth Hall and all
members of the Chicago Bar. As the officers of the evening were
appointed Honorable Oliver H. Horton, First Vice-President of
the Board of Trustees (and formerly Chairman of the Trustees
of the Union College of Law), as presiding officer, and Rev. Charles
M. Stuart, D.D., professor in the Garrett Biblical Institute, as
chaplain.
At 6 P. M. Mr. Chief Justice Holmes was the guest of honor
at a dinner given at the University Club by the Faculty of the
School; the other guests being President Charles W. Needham,
LL.D., of Columbian University, Washington, D . C.; Professor
Alfred Nerincx, LL.D., of the Faculty of Law of the University of
Louvain, Belgium; Professor Frederick Parker Walton, LL.D., Dean
of the Faculty of Law of McGill University, Montreal, Canada,
and delegate from the University of Oxford, England; and Professor William Hoynes, LL.D., Dean of the Faculty of Law of
Notre Dame University, Indiana.
At 7:45 P. M. Mr. Chief Justice Holmes was received in the
Dean's office by the presiding officer and a Reception Committee
consisting of Hon. Henry S. Boutell, Hon. James R . Mann, and
Hon. George E. Foss-members of Congress from Chicago-the
last two being alumni of the School, and the first being a Trustee
of the University. At the same hour the Judges, together with
the other invited guests, the Trustees of the University, and the
Faculty of the School., assembled in the Faculty Room. Meanwhile the alumni had been seated in Booth Hall, and the students
had been drawn up by classes in opposite ranks, in the north
corridor; Mr. McKinney, '03, Mr. McAuley, '04, and Mr. Dewes,
'05 , acting as Marshals.
At 8 P. M. the procession passed from the Faculty Room,
down the north corridor and between the ranks of students, to the

�4

Assembly Room (Lowden Hall) ; the Judges being headed by Hon.
James Jenkins, senior judge of the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals
and Hon. Peter S. Grosscup, of the same Court , and formerly Dean
of the School; the Trustees, by H. H . C. Miller, Esq., Second VicePresident of the Board, and Henry S. Towle, Esq., Chairman of the
Law Committee; and the Faculty, by Harvey B . Hurd, LL.D.,
professor emeritus. In the Assembly Room, Hon. Frank Orren
Lowden, '87, President of the Alumni Association, addressing
Mr. Chief Justice Holmes, presented a diamond-point with which
to inscribe on a glass panel his name and the date of his visit.
This panel will be set into the tiles of the chimney-piece over the
fire-place of Lowden Hall, as a permanent memorial of the occasion. After the ceremony of inscription, the procession was resumed to Booth Hall, whither in the mean time the students had
marched, proceeding in double-file through the Library. In
Booth Hall, on the rostrum were seated Mr. Chief Justice Holmes,
the Presiding Officer, the Chaplain, Professor Hurd, and the
Dean of the School; on the floor, on either side facing the rostrum,
were seated the Trustees, the Faculty, and the invited guests;
on the banks in the body of the Hall, the alumni; and the students
remained standing in ranks against the walls.
The Chaplain pronounced the invocation; and the Dean of the
School then addressed the Presiding Officer as follows :
"Mr. President, it is my duty to notify you that the quarters
so generously and wisely provided for us by the Board of Trustees,
aided by the contributions of many alumni and other friends, are
now ready for occupancy. Forty-three years have passed since
the founding of the School. Destiny has at last brought us,
in material equipment, something worthy of our aspirations in
scholarship and our standards in work. For this we thank heartily
all those whom you represent; and we now await your pleasure."
The Presiding Officer then responded as follows:
"Mr. Dean, in the name and on behalf of the Trustees of the
Northwest ern University, I now deliver to you, as dean of the
Faculty of the Law School, these halls and accessories. But few,
if any, law schools in the country have such handsome, commodious, and well-equipped accommodations, in immediate
proximity to the courts, to the great law and other libraries and
to the law offices. Did time permit, it would give me great pleasure to allow memory and affection to dictate fitting words relating
to the Hon. Thomas Hoyne, LL.D., the founder of this school;
the Hon. Henry Booth, LL.D ., the first teacher and dean, and to
other professors, as well as to the alumni; many of whom have attained distinction at the bar and upon the bench. I now place

in your hands the keys of this department of the University. The
responsibility resting upon you is great. We trust that all your
hopes and anticipations of prosperity and success may be fully
realized. Gentlemen of the Bench and of the Bar, Alumni, and
other guests and friends: The Trustees of this University bid
you a hearty welcome, and bespeak your support and encouragement as this School shall continue to hold high the standard of
qualifications required for admission to the bar.
"We are greatly honored to-day by the presence of the Chief
Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts. The
opinions which have been rendered by that Court have been, and
will long continue to b e, cited and regarded, in this and other
countries, as among the best legal authorities. Their high standard has been fully maintained during the incumbency of the
present learned Chief Justice.
' A true knight of learning-the world holds him dear,
Love bless him, joy crown him, God speed his career.'
"Gentlemen, I take great pleasure in now ·presenting to you
the Chief Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the Honorable Oliver Wendell Holmes."
Mr. Chief Justice Holmes then spoke as follows:
"Mr. President and Gentlemen: Nature has but one judgment
on wrong conduct-if you can call that a judgment which seemingly
has no reference to conduct as such-the judgment of death.
That is the judgment or the consequence which follows uneconomical expenditure if carried far enough. If you waste too much
food you starve; too much fuel, you freeze; too much nerve tissue,
you collapse. And so it might seem that the law of life is the law
of the herd; that man should produce food and raiment in order
that he might produce yet other food and other raiment to the end
of time. Yet who does not rebel at that conclusion? Accepting
the premises, I nevertheless almost am prepared to say that every
joy that gives to life its inspiration consists in an excursion toward
death, although wisely stopping short of its goal. Art, philosophy,
charity, the search for the North Pole, the delirium of every great
moment in man's experience-all alike mean uneconomic expenditure-mean waste-mean a step toward death. The justification of art is not that it offers prizes to those who succeed in the
economic struggle, to those who in an economic sense have produced the most, and that thus by indirection it increases the supply of wine and oil. The justification is in art itself, whatever
its economic effect. It gratifies an appetite which in some noble
spirits is stronger than the appetite for food. The principle might
be pressed even further and be found to furnish art with one of

�6

its laws. For it might be said, as I often have said, and as I have
been gratified to find elaborated by that true poet Coventry Patmore, that one of the grounds of resthetic pleasure is waste. I need
not refer to Charles Lamb's well-known comments on the fallacy
that enough is as good as a feast. Who does not know how his
delight has been increased to find some treasure of carving upon
a medireval cathedral hidden in a dark alley,-to see that the artist
has been generous as well as great, and has not confined his best
to the places where it could be seen to most advantage? Who
does not recognize the superior charm of a square-hewed oak
beam over a joist set on edge which would be enough for the work?
To leave art, who does not feel that Nansen's account of his search
for the pole rather loses than gains in ideal satisfaction by the
pretense of a few trifling acquisitions for science? If I wished to
make you smile I might even ask whether life did not gain an
enrichment from neglected opportunities which would be missed
in the snug filling out of every chance.
"But I am not here to press a paradox. I only mean to insist
on the importance of the uneconomic to man as he actually feels
to-day. You may philosophize about the honors of leisure as a
survival; you may, if you like, describe in the same way, as I have
heard them described, the ideals which burn in the center of our
hearts. None the less they are there. They are categorical imperatives, They hold their own against hunger and thirst; they
scorn to be classed as mere indirect supports of our bodily needs,
which rather they defy; and our friends the economists would
do well to take account of them, as some great writers like M.
Tarde would take account of them, if they are to deal with man
as he is.
"No doubt already you have perceived the reason why I have
insisted here upon this double view of life. The special value of a
university is that it moves in the twofold direction of man's desires which I have described. I have listened with interest to able
business men when they argued and testified that a university
training made men fitter to succeed in their practical struggles.
I am far from denying it. No doubt such a training gives men a
large mastery of the laws of nature under which they must work,
a wider outlook over the world of science and of fact. If it could
give to every student a scientific point of view, if education could
make men realize that you cannot produce something out of nothing and make them promptly detect the pretense of doing so with
which at present the talk of every day is filled, I should think it
had more than paid for itself. Still more should I think so if it
could send men into the world with a good rudimentary knowledge

of the laws of their environment. I cannot believe that anything
else would be so likely to secure prosperity as the universal acceptance of scientific premises in every department of thought .
But besides prosperity there is to bee onsidered happiness , which is
not the same thing. The chance of a university to enlarge men's
power of happiness is at least not less than its chance to enlarge
their capacity for gain. I own that with regard to this , as with
regard to every other aspiration of man, the most important question seems to me to be, what are his inborn qualities?
"Mr. Ruskin's first rule for learning to draw, you will remember,
was, Be born with genius. It is the first rule for everything else.
If a man is adequate in native force, he probably will be happy in
the deepest sense, whatever his fate. But we must not under-value
effort, even if it is the lesser half. And the opening which a university is sure to offer to all the idealizing tendencies-which, I am
not afraid to say, it ought to offer to the romantic side of lifemakes it above all other institutions the conservator of the vestal
fire. Our tastes are finalities, and it has been recognized since the
days of Rome that there is not much use in disputing about them.
If some professor should proclaim that what he wanted was a
strictly economic world, I should see no more use in debating with
him than I do in arguing with those who despise the ideals which
we owe to war. But most men at present are on the university
side. They want to be told stories and to go to the play. They
want to understand and, if they can, to paint pictures and to write
poems, whether the food product is greater in the long run because
of them or not. They want to press philosophy to the uttermost
edge of the articulate, and to try forever after some spiritual ray
outside the spectrum that will bring a message to them from behind phenomena. They love the gallant adventure which yields
no visible return. I think it the glory of that university which I
know best, that under whatever reserves of manner they may
hide it , its graduates have the romantic passion in their hearts.
" But, gentlemen, there is one department of your institution
to which I must be permitted specially to refer-the department
to which I am nearest by profession, and to which I owe the honor
of being here. I mean, of course, the department of law. Let
me say one word about that before I sit down. It was affirmed,
I believe, by a man not without deserved honor in his generationthe late Chief Justice Cooley-that the law was and ought to be
commonplace. No doubt the remark has its truth. It is better
that the law should be commonplace than that it should be eccentric. No doubt, too, in any aspect , it would seem commonplace
to a mind that understood everything. But that is the weakness

of all truth. If instead of the joy of eternal pursuit you imagine
yourself to have mastered it as a complete whole, you would find
yourself reduced to the alternative either of finding the remotest
achievement of quaternions or ontology-the whole frame of the
universe, in short-a bore, or of dilating with undying joy over the
proposition that twice two is four. It seems to me that for men
as they are, the law may keep its every-day character and yet be
an object of understanding wonder and a field for the lightning of
genius. One reason why it gives me pleasure to be here to-day
and to express my good wishes for the future and my appreciation
of the past of your law school, is that it is here and in places like
it that such wonder is kindled and that from it may fly the spark
that shall set free in some genius his explosive message. I am not
dealing in generalities. I mean more than good will to a law
school, simply because it is a law school. Indeed, I almost fear
that the intellectual ferment of the better schools may be too
potent an attraction to young men and seduce into the profession
many who would be better elsewhere. But I am thinking of this
law school and no other."
At this point the speaker paid a tribute to the work of the Dean
of the School, and closed by recurring to his original theme in relation to the function of a teacher of law.
"That teaching will satisfy the twofold desire of man; it will
be enlightened with intelligent economic views and give men what
they want to know when they go out to fight; but also it will send
them forth with a pennon as well as with a sword, to keep before
their eyes in the long battle the little flutter that means ideals,
honor, yes, even romance, in all the dull details."
At the close of the address, the procession was once more marshaled, headed by the Presiding Officer and Mr. Chief Justice
Holmes, and passed from the west door of Booth Hall, through the
Library, to the Faculty Room. Here Mr. Chief Justice Holmes
and the various Federal and State Judges who were present (some
fifteen in all) held a reception; and during the remainder of the
evening several hundred alumni and other members of the bar,
together with the students of the School, were presented to the
judges by the presiding officer.

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, Code
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.
2. Conveyancing - In the course on conveyancing the chief material of the work consists in a series of selected abstracts of title,
some twenty-five in all, representing the greatest variety of docu ments 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 substan~e 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 already taken the courses Property I and II.
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 mean time, 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 und.e r
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. Legal Tactics - In 1902-1903, on every Monday evening until
April, an address was given, by some well-known member of the
Bar, upon some topic of practice in which he had had special experience, and in which the communication of personal experience was
of special value as a guide to others. This course was of particular
value to young practitioners already at the Bar, and will be repeated
in 1903- 1904, with some variations. The BULLETIN for February, 1903,
contained two of these addresses, selected as typical; the current
number contains a third.
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 was 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, conducted by Professor J. Scott
Clark, of the College of Liberal Arts.
(b) Voice Training. An exercise of one hour once a week through
the first term, in a class of two sections, meeting altern ately, conducted
by Mr. Dennis, of the Cumnock School of Oratory.
(c) Parliamentary Practice. An exercise of one hour, once a week
through the first term, conducted by Professor Joseph W. Robert,
of the Robert School of Parliamentary Law.
This course in Public Speaking will be open to all students.
The Towle Prizes are open only to students who take the course
in Public Speaking.
6. 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 15th 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.
7. 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 from October to April.
Each member of the second-year class is required to take part as coun-

�THE LAW SCHOOL.

I I

sel at least three times, and to sit as judge in other cases. The Courts
are cond.ucted by means of clubs, which select their own members.
A professor presides at each session. Credit for one term hour
is given for work satisfactorily done therein.
TUITION FEES.
The tuition fee for regular students is one hundred and five dollar
a year, payable in three installments of thirty-five dollars each, October
1st, January roth, and April 1st. A rebate of five dollars is allowed
to students who pay the entire tuition in advance on October 1st.
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.
PRIZES.
The Towle Prizes.-A first prize of Sroo, and a second prize of
$50, the gift of Henry Sargent Towle, Esq., Chairman of the Law
School Committee of the Board of Trustees, will be awarded to the
members of the class of Professors Robert and Dennis, who shall, in
public competition at the completion of the course in public speaking, be adjudged most proficient in the work of the course.
In the event of more than thirty candidates entering the preliminary competition a third prize will probably be offered.
These prizes are open only to those who take the course of training under Professors Robert and Dennis.
In 1902-1903 the Towle Prize was awarded t0 Amos Strickland, of
the first year class.
2. The Lee Prize.-A prize of fifty dollars, the gift of Blewett
Lee, Esq., formerly professor in the School, will be awarded in
1902-1903, 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 pri ze 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 the
entire course.
In 1902 the Callaghan Prize was awarded to Charles Yoe Freeman, A.B., of Chicago.

REQUIREMENTS FOR ADMISSION.

Persons applying for admission as regular students must
answer the following requirements:

�NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.

12

Age-They must be not less than eighteen years of ~ge.
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 42.
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.

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.
DEGREES.

All degrees are conferred at the general University Commencement. On this occasion all candidates for degrees are
required to present themselves in person, the Oxford cap and
gown being worn as the official dress.

are of fit charact!'!r and have complied with the following
requirements:
I. Attendance - Regular attendance for three years is required
of all students with the following exceptions:
I. 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; but students who are admitted to advanced standing
because of studies pursued in an attorney's office must pass all of the
, examinations in the work of the first year in this school before applying for a degree.
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 completed one year's study

may become candidates for a degree in one year by obtaining special
permission from the Dean.
II. Registration-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 examinations in courses amounting to sixty term-hours (the equivalent
of courses of study of ten hours a week for three years); provided
that in reckoning the required number of term-hours required for
graduation there must be included at least ten hours of work in each
term of the third year. 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 . A student
may not count a course in which he obtains grade C, except he obtain
grade A in another course or courses of equivalent amount; and
except that he may count courses in which he obtains grade C to the
extent of one-sixth of the total work required to be done by him in
this School for graduation.

* Beginning w ith 1904, no allowance will be made for study in an
attorney's office,

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 iu
subjects approved by that Faculty, and obtaining credit in
such work to the amount of twelve semester-hours; and by
presenting a thesis on an approved topic. 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

Six assistant librarians and monitors are appointed annually.
These receive free tuition in compensation fo~ their services.
Applications for appointment should be addressed to the Secretary of the Law School.

�CORPORATION BY-LAWS.*
Corporation by-laws may be briefly defined as the regulations,
ordinances, and rules adopted by a corporation for its own government. This is the American definition of the word. Ih the English
reports it means what we term municipal ordinances. You must
be careful in your studies to remember this meaning as used in
the English cases.
To-night I am speaking from the American point of view.
Jt is an inherent right in every corporation to enact by-laws.
Blackstone says that that right goes back to the Roman law and
the Twelve Tables. Usually in the statutes regarding corporations
it is provided that the corporation may pass by-laws. But without
that the corporation has an inherent right to enact by-laws, whether
it is so specified in the charter or not.
In this State it may enact by-laws not inconsistent with the laws
of the State, and this is the right given generally in any case. This
right is the right to enact reasonable by-laws.
Some corporations have what they call a constitution. It is not
ex~ctly a charter, and in the opinion of the corporations is regarded
as somewhat more safe than by-laws. Really, however, this is nothing more than by-laws, under another name. The charter is really
the constitution of the corporation. Anything provided after that
is in effect nothing more nor less than a code of by-laws. Therefore
such constitutions as that of the Royal Arcanum are really by-laws,
not a constitution as named.
By-laws may be distinguished from municipal ordinances, because
the latter are binding upon eve rybody within the municipality, regardless of who they are, while the corporation by-laws are binding only
by consent, that is, upon those who by express or implied consent
have agreed to them. They are of permanent use for the regulation of the corporate affairs. For example, a street car company
adopts a code for the regulation of the conduct of its drivers and
motormen. These rules are not by-laws for the direction of the
company itself.
It is not essential that a corporation should have by-laws. At the
same time it is important that they should have. Many small corporations are organized without them, but sooner or later they are
apt to get into trouble. An illustration occurred in my practice
• An address delivered in the course on Legal Tactics, Monday evening,
October 13, 1902.

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.

some years ago. It was the case of a man who had a private business which he incorporated, made himself and two cle rks the three
directors, and sta rted in doing business as a corporation without
by-laws. Things went along for a yea r or two, business began to
lose, and he found that it was not profitable, and wanted to sell
it. He had nothing left but his stock of goods. He was not the
corporation, and could not sell the entire corporation himself, the
clerks had gone, he had no board of directors, and he was thoroughly
helpless. Had he had by-laws, he might have called the directors
together, filled vacancies, and given a uthority to se ll. H e sold at a
very great sacrifice because of the cloud upon the titl e which he
conveyed. This illustrates the difficulty of a corporation without
by-laws. It is in a very helpless and unsafe condition.
There are a good many matte rs in the Illinois sta tutes which
should be regulated by by-laws. Directors should be provided
for by the by-laws; vaca ncies in the directors should be filled in
a ccordance with the by-laws. If you have no by-laws you have
no way of doing these things.
The adoption of by-laws is the next point I wish to speak of.
They are ordinarily in writing. Some old English cases show that
th ey ma y be in custom, not in writing. This may be tru e, but it
is very rare at the present day, for to-day most corporations have
their by-laws in writing. Certainly they ought to be in writing.
Some statutes provide that they shall be under seal. This is not
the law in Illinois. Sometimes it is required that they be record ed.
Ordinarily under most statues it is sufficient, if the corporation adopt
by-laws, to place them on the minutes. This is the natural place
for them.
The next question is, who should adopt them. In the absence
of statutory or charter provision, they must be adopted by the members of the corporation, the stockholders. But in some States, as in
Illinois, it is provided that they shall be adopted by th e directors.
In Colorado they may be by the directors, but if not, then by the
corporation. So the first thing to find out is what body passes the
by-laws. If the right is given to the directors, then the stockholders
have no right to do it. However, the law looks at the essential
instead of the external; and where the same persons are both directors and stockholders, and they meet and adopt by-Jaws, they will
be held valid and binding by-laws, although they misnamed themselves. This has occurred in two cases where they were held good.
In the same way where the directors were present at a stockholders' meeting, and agreed to them, that was held good where th e
right to pass them rested with the directors. There are two exceptions in this State to the rule of the directors passing the by-laws.

�THE LAW SCHOOL.
These exceptions are railroad corporations and building and loan
associations. These must be adopted by the corporations themselves, and they must be recorded.
It has been held, moreover, that by-laws may be adopted by ratification. A case arises sometimes like this, where a savings bank
has printed in its pass-book a code of by-laws which they never
have formally adopted, but they have acted on them and represented them as the by - laws, and they will be held to be their
by-laws by ratification. The proper way, however, is to put them
in the minutes.
The directors or stockholders may adopt by-laws at any regular
meeting, and a quorum only is necessary. The entire corporation
need not be present. The general rule is, as you are aware, that
corporations can perform a corporate act only in the State in which
they are chartered. Adoption of by-laws is a corporate act, so that
the by-laws cannot be adopted outside of the State. This is important to remember to-day, because in many cases corporations are
being chartered under the laws of other States than our own, especially
in New Jersey. I know of one case where an Illinois corporation
adopted by-laws in ew York, and they were held to be not good.
The next question is that of the subject matter of by-laws. There
are four general rules in regard to the subject matter of by-laws.
First, they must conform to the law. Second, they must conform
to the charter. Third, they must be reasonable. Fourth, they must
be germane to the object for which the corporation is organized.
Taking them up in order, they must first conform to the law,
not only the law of the State in which it is organized, but also the
common law, the law of the United States; and, so far as it affects
the corporation, the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution of the state. A by-law taking away property without due
process of law would be unconstitutional.
Second, they must conform• to the charter. This is to the corporation what the Constitution is to the State, and the by-laws are
similar to the statues. So, therefore, the by-laws must obey the
charter. There is one exception to the rule, however, and that
is where the charter, which is ordinarily drawn by the corporators
themselves, and frequently contains illegal provisions. In this case
they must bow to the law of the State.
Third, they must be reasonable. In that respect the same rule
applies that applies to ordinances of municipalities. They must
be reasonable, or they are not bindi11g upon the members of the
corporation. This is really a provision of the common law, and
there are a great many cases in the books as to what are unreasonable by-laws. It is impossible to lay down any general rule

�r8

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.

Sometimes the same by-law is reasonable in one jurisdiction and
unreasonable in another. One queer case is that of a by-law providing for treating the members of the corporation to dinner at the
expense of the officers, and that was held void.
Special provisions of the by-laws. Of course the attorney drawing the by-laws will first go through the statute book and see every
reference made to the by-laws in the statutes, and take care that
his by-laws do cover all these points. You will not find in Illinois
that these provisions are grouped together in one place. They are
scattered around and are pretty well hidden away. You must look
well for all of them. One of the most important provisions treated
in the by-laws is the question of stockholders' meetings. These must
be held, and the by-laws should provide when they should be held,
giving a time, place, and provision for notice, unless the statute
does it. When the statute does this then of course the by - -l aws
need not; but if they do then they must only repeat the statute,
except that they may give longer notice, but not less than the
statute provides.
Provisions for general meetings and special meetings; how these
may be called. This is provided for by statute in this State. The
by-laws might provide that a smaller number of stockholders should
call a meeting, or that the president may call. In drawing the
by-laws you must of course consult your client's wishes in the matter. When by- laws provide that a meeting shall be held upon
a certain day of the month, it is always well to put in a provision
that if the day mentioned falls upon Sunday the meeting may occur
upon the succeeding day.
In drawing by-laws for a corporation, where it is a small one, you
must remember that they won't have an attorney at each meeting,
so the by-laws must be clear and easily understood. You may not
be there to explain them to the directors or stockholders.
Then at these stockholders' meetings not all of the stock will
be present, consequently the by- laws should provide what shall
constitute a quorum. At common law a majority was not essential.
The common law provision was that stockholders may allow at an
election those who have a right to vote, and a quorum is not a particular number. But to-day _it is usually provided that a certain
number shall constitute a quorum, and in many cases a majority
is required to make a quorum. It might be wise in some cases
to make it larger. I would advise you not to make it too high,
because you may find when the time comes that it is hard to get
a large number present. Ordinarily a majority is sufficient.
As to absent members. The right of voting by proxy is usually
given. Originally there was a little doubt as to the right to vote

�THE LAW SCHOOL.
by proxy; but to-day it is settled, by decision in Illinois certainly,
that the members may vote by proxy. To avoid uncertainty, however,
the by-laws should provide how the proxy shall be given. It should
be in writing, or it may be required to be under seal; but at any
rate it should be provided just how this should be done .
Very often the by-laws provide for an order of business at stockholders' meetings, so that there should be no doubt what shall be
done and how it shall be done. This operates to prevent the omission of any important matter.
As to the directors. · The by-laws sometimes make provision for
the number of directors. It is unnecessary, however, to do this in
Illinois, because the number of directors in this State is fixed by the
charter. This is true in most States. Where the charter does not
so provide the by-laws should provide for this, and the term of office
and the manner of electing.
As to filling vacancies. Our statute provides that it shall be done
according to the by-laws. It is important therefore that this should
be provided for by the by-laws, or there would be no way whatever
of filling the vacancy. This may be done in various ways; but some
provision, at any rate, should be put in.
General qualifications of directors. In this State and in many
others the directors need not be stockholders; but it certainly is
much better that they should be. It is a common error in this
State to think that a director must be a stockholder. Certainly it
is a very wise provision that he should be, and it should be put
into the by-laws. If you wish your directors to have a salary that
should be put into the by-laws by a proper provision. In most
small corporations they generally have no salary; in large ones
in many cases they receive five dollars or ten dollars for every
meeting they attend. If you wish to make such an allowance, provision should be made in the by-laws.
Provision for meetings of the directors should be made in the
by-laws. In many cases of small corporations, where they do not
care to have the bother of frequent meetings, they have them once
in six months. But this is a mistake. There should be a meeting
once a month; for it will do no harm if they do get together
certainly every month; but if yciu should have some really important business coming up, the directors won't have to wait five or six
months. or in the cases of some corporations having yearly meetings of the directors, eight or nine months or more. Of course in
such a case the thing to do would be to call a special meeting,
and this again is another important thing to be provided for in the
by-laws. Provision should be made as to how such a meeting can
be called, and what notice must be given.

�20

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.

The by-laws should provide what constitutes a quorum of the
directors. In the absence of a provision in the by-laws a majority
is a quorum. New York allows a smaller number than a majority
to constitute a quorum. It is better, however, to have it in the
by-laws. There should also be a provision for an order of business for the director's meetings, so as to have some means of carrying along the business in an orderly fashion.
Officers of a corporation and their duties should be fixed by the
by-laws: It is a good plan not to have too many officers in the
case of a small corporation; but the nature of the corporation determines that in most cases. The ordinary officers are the president,
vice-president, secretary and treasurer, and possibly a general manager. In many cases the latter is an employee, not an officer. This
depends upon the individual case, however. You may wish to have
the officers all directors or stockholders. In order to make this
arrangement you should put it into your by-laws so that th ere may
be no dispute. Sometimes one man may not hold two offices. If that
is to be the policy of your company there should be put into the
by-laws a provision to that effect.
This settles any dispute that
might be.
The most important office in the corporation is of course that
of the president, and he has very large powers, and the powers
are very different in different kinds of corporations. In enumerating these powers I would caution you not to put in too many
details. Where your officers are well known it would be better
simply to say that those officers shall perform the duties ordinarily
devolving upon officers of that name. But if you wish to enume rate, be sure to put in every power you wish them to assume, for by
enumerating some and omitting others you may deprive them of some
powers you wish them to exercise.
In a case where the president really owns the corporation, ow ns
a very large part of the stock, then it would be well to give him
very large powers, providing that in the absence of a meeting of the
directors he may take such action as he sees fit. But in a case
where the president was, say, a promoter, and the money was put
in by others, then in such a case it would be better that he have
very limited powers. Take the question of borrowing money. If he
is the chief stockholder, then he might naturally have the right to
borrow money without the authority of the directors. But in a different sort of a corporation it might be better that he should not borrow money at all without authority, or only certain sums, and not
to exceed them.
It would be a wise provision of the by-laws that the treasurer
should give bonds. But these matters are all matters of detail to be

�THE LAW SCHOOL.

21

settled by your clients in each case. As to the bonds, you might say
that the officers shall give bonds as required by the directors.
The term of office of the directors must be regulated by the bylaws. You must provide for this in your by-laws in this State.
The question of stock is regulated by the by-laws. The amount is
fixed by the charter, but the by-laws may provide for many important points concerning the stock: the form of the certificate, by
whom to be signed, and provisions as to transfer. The law in this State
provides that the stock shall be transferred as provided by the bylaws. If you have no by-laws, there is no way of transferring the
stock. The ordinary provision is that the shares should be transferred on the books of the company. This is rather blind, but often
the transfer is by an assignment like this: "I hereby transfer, assign,
sell, and set over the within stock to - --, and authorize - - - to
transfer the same on the books of the corporation." Where such a
provision is made by the by-laws the stock is really not transferred
until the written assignment is made on the books of the company.
Where there is preferred and common stock the by-laws often make
provision about that. Where the corporation has existed you cannot
change common stock into prderred without the consent of the stockholders. That must be by unanimous resolution of the stockholders.
The proper place to provide as to preferred stock, as to the rate of
interest and the time for payment, is in the by-laws.
Transfers are often annoying to the officers of the corporation.
The by-laws seldom provide for this as they should. Suppose a
holder of stock dies. The title devolves immediately by operation
of law upon his administrator or executor, and they have the right to
have the stock transferred to their own name on the books of the
corporation, but in the absence of a by-law provision as t.:&gt; how the
corporation shall learn who is the administrator or executor much
delay and confusion results. Sometimes the officers will take the
word of an attorney upon it. This is not right. It should be provided
that in the case of death of any stockholder that the stock may be
transferred to the administrator by leaving with the secretary a certified copy of the letters of administration, or a certified copy of the
will and the letters of administration. Then you have in your office
the written evidence of his right to receive the stock.
Another case is where the certificates have been lost. You are
helpless, perhaps, because your stock has been burned or lost. You
own the stock, but you have nothing to show for it. You have the
right to go to the company and demand a new certificate. But you
must make an affidavit and give security. It would be a very good
provision to put in the by-laws just what shall be done in this
case. It is easier to obtain the proper affidavits, etc., when there is

�22

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.

such a provision in the by-laws. This would make it easier for the
secretary to know what to do. There should also be a provision in
that respect that notice should be given of loss, and a period of time
allowed to lapse before issuance of the new certificates of stock, so
as to give opportunity to find the old certificate if possible.
As to paid-up stock. In many cases it is not all paid-up stock. It
is subscribed for, but not paid up. In such a case your by-laws should
provide how these instalments should be called in, possibly that ten
per cent. should be paid in each year, or as called for by the directors
There should be some provisions in the by-laws as to how this should
be done. There should be some provision for enforcing these calls
Suppose a man refuses or fails to pay. There should be a proviso in
the by-laws to compel him to do so. Sometimes it is allowed to be
forfeited. But you should be careful not to have it forfeited directly,
but you must have the stock sold, apply the receipts upon the subscription, and then the balance should go to the subscriber. This is
required by our statute, and should be put in the by-laws. Another
point sometimes covered is the question of a lien upon stock for debts
due from members of the corporation. This applies usually in cases
of banks and corporations that lend money. The provision is valid,
and bas been held good ever since 1723, when Lord Macclesfield held
such a provision valid. But in that case you should put on the back
of the certificate some notice of that provision, either the by-law
printed in full, or an abstract of it.
Sometimes the by-laws attempt to restrict the transfer of the stock.
This is most frequently found in small corporations where they want
to keep the stock within a certain set or clique. It is sometimes provided that it shall only be transforred to other stockholders, or only
with the consent of the directors or stockholders. The legality of
these restrictions is doubtful. Be very careful in putting in such a
provision to see what your own statute says about it. There has been
no decision in Illinois upon this point. In Wisconsin it cannot be
done. These restrictions are not ordinarily in favor, but are generally
regarded as in restraint of trade.
A very proper provision in the by-laws is in regard 'to the corporate
seal and place of business and things of that kind. There are many
provisions that might be put into the by-laws. Suppose, for instance,
that the statute provides that a certain notice shall be given of all
meetings. It is perfectly proper to incorporate this in the by-laws.
In such case the directors, if they have not the statutes handy, will
follow the statutes while obeying their own by-laws. There is danger,
however, of putting them in. Officers and members of the corporation may see these provisions, and think they are only by-laws, and
that they have a right to change them, and wipe them out altogether.

�THE LAW SCHOOL.

It would be well therefore to say that certain by-laws, being merely
recitals of the statute, cannot be amended by the corporation.
By-laws often make provision as to how contracts shall be entered
into, who shall sign them, etc. It is often necessary to insert provisions for enforcing the by-laws, as by a penalty for non-payment of
assessments. It is frequently done by fine, and this is proper if the
fine is reasonable. The only way the fine could be collected would
be by legal action or by making the fine a lien upon the stock. It
might also be enforced by expelling a member from the corporation . This could apply only to cases of fraternal corporations or
organizations of that sort, or associations like the Board of Trade or
incorporated colleges. They might also provide for expulsion for
non-observance of the by-laws. But these must be reasonable, and
the member must be tried by a competent tribunal of the corporation.
Amendment and repeal of the by-laws. The general rule is that a
body that adopts by-laws can amend or repeal them. There are two
exceptions to that in Illinois. One is in the case of associations not
for pecuniary profit, like colleges and churches. There is a curious
provision in our statute to the effect that the by-laws may be adopted
by the directors or trustees, and having been so adopted may be
added to, but not amended, by the corporation itself at any regular meeting.
The other exception is where many of these associations have
adopted by-laws at the time they incorporated and they were included
in the articles of association. It has been held by our Supreme Court
that they could not be altered at all, as they were really a part of the
charter. This is an exception to the general rule that they may be
amended. The law of 1893, however, expressly provided for the
amending of corporation by-laws.
Usually they provide how they should be amended, and limit
the right to amend. This is a very proper provision to put in, but it
is to be construed in connection with the law. Take the case of a
building and loan association, where the by-laws provided that they
might be amended, but the Supreme Court said they could not be
amended or repealed by any provision of this kind, though they
could be amended or repealed by the directors. Where you put in a
provision of that kind make it that they cannot be amended except
by unanimous vote, whereas a majority vote would adopt it. As long
as that by-law stands, the directors could not amend any other by-law
except by unanimous vote, but there would be nothing to prevent their
first repealing that by-law and then doing as they please with the
others. They could first repeal or amend that by-law by a majority
vote, and then change the others to suit themselves. Even where it
is not formally repealed or amended it may be waived in a particular

�NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.

instance, and that waiver may take place even when there is a provision
against waiver in the by, laws themselves. This comes up most frequently in mutual benefit associations like the Royal Arcanum. Suppose you issue a policy contrary to the by-laws. They cannot set up
the by-laws as vitiating the policy, because the issuance of the policy
has waived the by-law.
They are construed as contracts are. They are construed together
like statutes, if possible, so that they will stand. Penal provisions
will be construed strictly in the same way that penal statutes are.
The construction of the by-laws is for the court, and not for the jury,
except where the provisions are ambiguous, in which case some States
say that the jury shall first say what the by-laws mean, and the court
shall then apply it. There was a curious case in Pennsylvania, where
enlistment in the regular ilrmy worked a forfeiture. The member
enlisted in the volunteer army, and the court adopted a very strict
construction of the by-law on the theory that it was unpatriotic.
A by-law like this often comes up: "No salary shall be paid except
to the secretary." This would not of itself give the secretary a
salary. This would merely authorize the directors to vote him a
salary.
The effect of by-laws depends upon consent. They are binding
upon the corporation, and can be relied upon by the corporation in
all its transactions. They are binding upon the directors, who are
chargeable with notice of them. They are binding on the officers
whether they are members or not. They are binding upon the members because they have consented to them. They are binding upon
third persons only in case they have expressly or constructively consented to them.
Suppose a by-law provides that no employee shall be employed for
more than one year. An officer is employed for longer than a year, and
the employment is held to be void because the officer is presumed to
know that the contract was in violation of the by-laws, and therefore
void. But where the person employed is not an officer or a stock holder, then the corporation would be bound because this third person
would not be held to have consented, not having bad notice of the
by-law. He might have known of course, but in the absence of any
evidence that this was the fact, the corporation would be bound to pay
him for his full time. But where an employee was employed for life it
was held not valid, because he must have known that this was not in
accordance with the by-laws of the corporation.
The enforcement of the by-laws is an interesting subject. They
are enforced by fine, sometimes by expulsion. There cannot be a
double punishment. You cannot fine a man for not doing a certain
thing, and then punish him for not paying the fine. This bas often

been attempted in corporations. It cannot be done where property
rights are involved. But where no property righ ts are involved the
courts will not interfere ordinarily.
When by· laws come into court they must be pleaded and proved.
Proof must be made by bringing the record into court. Where bylaws have been acted upon for a long time, you can still prove them
by parol evidence.

�DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW QUARTERS OF
THE SCHOOL.
The site of the Northwestern University Building in which the
new quarters of the School of Law are situated, is one of historic
interest. The remodeled TEemont House, a massive structure, is the
fourth building of that name to occupy the spot. Since 1833, the year
of Chicago's incorporation as a town, the caravansaries that were
successively erected here became the frequent sojourning-place of
the most famous persons who from time to time came to Chicago.
Here was begun the memorable debate between Lincoln and Douglas
in 1858; here were the headquarters of Lincoln's friends during the
nominating convention of 186o; here Douglas lay on bis deathbed;
here took place, at the close of the war, the soldiers' reunion, in which
Grant and other distinguished generals participated; and a long list
might be made of other names, eminent in all fields, whose memories
will ever cling to this central spot in the life of Chicago. Many of
these notable persons and episodes are recalled in the speeches made
on May 23d last, at the reception to Professor Hurd (the report of which
was printed in the August Bullett"n of th e School). "It seems to me,"
said Mr. Elbridge Keith, on that occasion, "that in no other spot in
Illinois have there been so many associations with that which has
made history. There could be no more inspiring spot where you
could go to get stimulus for noble deeds and noble thoughts. You
should have the heritage which those noble spirits here hand down
to you."
Having in mind the interesting associations of the spot, the
Faculty have endeavored to equip the School's quarters in such a way
as to maintain the dignity and interest of the place, and also to be
worthy of the best traditions of the profession whose interests it
serves. The object has been to provide a fitting home for legal
scholarship, by reviving amidst daily work the historic past of the
School and of the profession at large, and by embodying in the surroundings all that could inspire the student with faith in the achievements of his predecessors in the law and with resolution for bis own
part of that great work in the future.
The School's quarters are entered from the landing on the third
floor in the northwest angle of the building. All the wood trimmings
are of oak, in weather-stain; the wall coloring in all the corridors is
yellow; in the Assembly Room, red; in Booth Hall, buff; and in the
Library, Hurd Hall, Hoyne Hall, and the remaining rooms, green.

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.

Opposite the entrance comes first the General Office. Portraits
of the Presidents of the Board of Trustees of th e old Union College
of Law,,and of the members of the Law Committee of the present
Trustees of Northwestern University, are on th e wall, and suggest the
continuity of the School's existence under forty-four years of successive administrations. So, a lso, in the Dean 's Office, on the left,
portraits of the former Deans of the School, beginning with Hon.
Henry Booth, bring down the traditi on from 1859. Similarly, in the
Faculty Room (to the right of the General Office, beyond the Secretary 's Office), a collection of the portraits of all th e past and present
members of the Faculty preserves the memory of those who have
taken part in the work of the School, and includes many who have
been distinguished in the local and national life of the profession.
This collection is still incomplete, in regard to many of the older
generation; but it is hoped that the missing likenesses may before
long be secured. Over the fireplac e is appropriately affixed the
handsome seal of the University, m colored plastic relief, done by
Mr. F. Parsons, of Boston, for the ·school. The heavy settles,
council-table, and bookcases are designed to give an effect of
scholarly dignity; and the room serves as an appropriate one for the
city meetings of other University governing bodi es besid,es the
Faculty of Law. Entering the north corrid or, a bronze bust of Lincoln appears, placed against the west wall. It is cast after the model
by Bissell, owner of the death mask, and was presented to the School
by the Booth Chapter of the legal frat ern ity o[ Phi Delta Phi. Beneath it, on a bronze plate, is the inscription: "In the old Tremont
House That formerly stood on this spot Abraham Lincoln During his
practice at the bar Often sojourned And from its balcony In 1858 He
engaged in one of his memorable debates With Stephen A. Douglas.
Presented to the Law School of the Northwestern University by
Booth Chapter of Phi Delta Phi."
Facing east from the Lincoln bust, one sees, in two lines on either
side of the corridor, a series of plaster busts, represen tin g the lawye rorators of various ages and countries- Demosthenes, Cicero, Burke,
Choate, Clay, and Douglas. Others should, of course, be added to
these, to make the representation more complete-for instance, those
of Erskine, Gratton, V.Tirt, Prentiss; hut no likeness of them in plaster
seems to be in existence. This series, fittingly culminating with the
author of the speech at Gettysburg, is intended to typify for the aspiring student the function of the lawyer as a persuader of men. It
complements the series in the Library typifying th e lawyer as a
scholar and jurist.
On the right of the north corridor is the Court Room, fitted in the
usual manner with judge's desk, clerk 's desk, witness box, jury box,

�THE LAW SCHOOL.

35

attorneys' table, and bar. This room is known as Hoyne Hall, after
Hon. Thomas Hoyne, who founded the school in 1859. Over the desk
is a crayon portrait of the founder, presented by his son, Thomas M.
Hoyne, Esq., an alumnus of the School. In this room the Practice Court
holds its sessions; and accordingly the walls have been hung with a
collection of portraits representing the personages of particular interest to the future practitioners at the local bar. These include the
judges of trial courts in Illinois, past and present, the judges of
Federal courts in Illinois, and distinguished members of the Illinois
bar in former generations. This collection is a unique possession,
and would have been impossible to create, but for the generous
courtesy of Hon. James B. Bradwell, formerly judge of the Cook
County Court and now editor of the Chicago Legal ews. The owner
of an unrivaled collection of photographs of lawyers and judges,
accumulated ·during forty years at the Illinois bar, he has had these
reproductions especially made from his plates for presentation to the
School. The collection of portraits of the judges of the Supreme
Court of Illinois, in the Library, is also a part of the same gift.
On the north side of the north corridor are three rooms destined
for the use of the Legal Aid Bureau (a charitable work soon to be
undertaken by the School) ; at present they are used for the storage
and sale of books. Beyond them is the Alumni Room, an apartment
intended to serve the convenience and attract the interest of visiting
alumni. It is exclusively at their disposal, and is fitted with lockers,
lavatory, bookcases, and tables, so as to afford them all the facilities
of an office, while in Chicago, for the transaction of business. The
walls are to be hung with portraits of the past and present officers of
the Alumni Association, of alumni holding public office, and of class
groups; but this collection is as yet incipient only, and much remains
to be done by the alumni to make it fairly complete. Beyond this
room is the Law Club Room, for meetings of the fraternities, sessions
of the club, moot-courts, and the like.
Last on the east is the Assembly Room, a long and spacious
apartment, comfortably fitted for rest, reading, and conversation.
This a))artment is intended as the social headquarters of the School,
a common meeting-ground for professors and students. For a city
School, remote from the surroundings of a college campus, such a
center of social life is indispensable. Dedicated to the spirit of
scholarly fellowship, it conduces to that friendly converse and intimate understanding which cultivate college loyalty and form some
of the most pleasurable memories and useful associations of after
professional life. The furnishings have all been adopted to emphasize
the fraternal and professional tradition and spirit. Over the fireplace
is another copy of the University seal, in colored plastic relief. High-

�NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.

backed settles, at the east end of the room, framing the fireplace,
form an inglenook. A small library of legal biographies and annals,
celebrated trials, and works of general reference, is placed here; and
a list of magazines and newspapers is maintained by students' subscription. On the north wall is a bronze relief of Lincoln, the gift of
Mr. Michael Merwin Hart, of the class of 1904, and on the west wall
is a colored plastic relief of Washington (done by Mr. Parsons).
Affixed to the south wall, in the inglenook, is an oak shield, bearing
in bronze letters the traditional motto of the students' cheer: "Ex
delicto Ex contractu This is Law." The walls bear, also, a varied
collection of pictures, including a number of interesting cartoon-caricatures, in color, of celebrated English judges, views of the English
Inns of Court and of the courts of justice in England and various
foreign countries, views of the homes of Marshall and of Webster,
and pictures of other places and persons having an interest to the
profession. The Assembly Room is known as Lowden Hall, after
Frank Orren Lowden, Esq., the present president of the Alumni
Association.
The east corridor, leading south from the Assembly Room, is
fitted with over two hundred full-length lockers. On the right is a
lecture-room, known as Hurd Hall, after Harvey B. Hurd, LL.D.,
who, after forty-three years of service retired from active work, and
became Professor Emeritus at the close of the year 1901-02. His
portrait hangs on the west wall; and around the room are hung the
group-portraits of the judges of the various State Supreme Courts.
At the end of the east corridor is the main lecture-room, known as
Booth Hall, after Hon. Henry Booth, first Dean of the School, who
served from 1859 till 1892. Over the entrance is his portrait in
crayon, presented to the School several years ago by the Booth
Chapter of the fraternity of Phi Delta Phi. Behind the lecture
rostrum is a series of wall panels, concealing a long blackboard, the
central ones sliding to uncover the board for use. In front of the
end panels, on brackets, are busts of Socrates on the left and of
Blackstone _on the right-the former, as the great master of dialectics
and argument, typifying one chief method of class instruction, and
the latter, as the classical model of dogmatic exposition, typifying
the other chief method of instruction by lectures. Considerable
search had failed to discover a bust of Blackstone in this country,
and the present one was accordingly made for the School by Miss
Alice Cooper, of Chicago; a photogravure of the Blackstone statue at
Oxford and two engravings by different hands, served for the likeness.
Around the walls of Booth Hall are disposed a series of portraits
(chiefly engravings and etchings) of the most eminent judges in English and American legal history-Mansfield, Eldon, Marshall, Story,

�THE LAW SCHOOL.

37

Kent, and others. The English portraits, with others in the Library
(including the work of such hands as Bartolozzi's), were selected for
the School in 1902, on a visit to London, by Mr. Charles C. Soule, of
Boston, aided by Mr. William V. Kellen, of Boston, a connoisseur
who possesses the finest collection of legal engravings in the United
States. The etching of Henry Wheaton, LL.D., America's most
distinguished international jurist, was presented to the school by Mr.
Kellen; it is of particular interest, being an imprint from the only
plate in existence, made by the donor in connection with the recent
celebration at Brown University of the centenary of Wheaton's birth.
Leaving Booth Hall by the west door, a short corridor, opening on
each side into study rooms for students' clubs, leads into the Library,
which extends around the south and west sides of the building. The
bookcases here are arranged to form alcoves; in each alcove is
a reading table fitted with a double set of electric-light standards.
At one end of the west aisle, opposite the marble clock (the gift of
Hon. William A. Dyche) is another copy of the University seal, affixed
to the wall and dominating the room. On brackets at abutments of
the alcoves, facing into the aisle, are placed busts of Bacon, Marshall,
Jefferson, Hamilton, Webster, and Shaw, typifying the legal scholars
and jurists of our history. Thus far no other likenesses to complete
this series have been obtainable; but those of Hale, Bentham, Kent,
and a few others, ought certainly to be added, and it is hoped that in
time they will be. This series forms a fitting complement to that
of the lawyer-orators in the north corridor. On the walls of each
alcove above the bookcases, is continued the collection of portraits
of eminent lawyers and judges. To study the Constitution under the
gaze of Marshall himself, or peruse the doctrines of equity in sight of
the compelling countenance of their creator Eldon, cannot but give
one a more realizing acquaintance with those great judges who have
left the impress of their personality upon the law.
The attention of the alumni is again called to the various parts of
these collections that remain to be completed. Only through the
active and generous help of the alumni can this be done. Of all who
may read this account the special request is now made to cooperate
with the School, in any manner that may happen to be within their
power, to perfect the equipment briefly described herein.

�REVISED LIST OF OFFICERS OF THE BRANCHES OF
THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION.
The Alumni Association has been engaged in forming local
Branches of the Association in every State and Territory in which
there are Alumni of the School, as well as in each judicial district of
Illinois outside of Cook County. A Secretary has been appointed in
nearly every one of these jurisdictions-some fifty-four in all__:and
with the further perfection of organization a Vice-President will also
be selected for each Branch. The object of the formation of these
Branches is to promote mutual acquaintance and helpfulness among
those alumni who are locally associated in practice. The list of officers selected up to the present date, as furnished by Charles H.
Blatchford, Esq., General Secretary of the Association (Ashland
Block, Chicago), is as follows:

�III - JUSTICE COURT PRACTICE.
An Address Deli-vered in th e L ega l Tactics Co11rse, December
I902, by Robert N . Holt, Esq., Assistant State's Attorney
of Cook County, Illinois, and formerly
Iustice of the P eace.

22,

In looking forward to your practice you doubtless all of you
realize the fact that the largest part of your work for a few years
to come, the first years in practice, will be in the Justice Court.
You will not all be in the ·condition of a young student who
graduated about '97, I think it wa s. He was full of hope and
looked forward to the great achievements that he would make.
Talking to a class-mate, he said: ';What would you take for your
first three years' fees right now?" The other replied that he
would not require a very large sum. "Well," said the young man
who asked the question, "I wouldn't take twentv-five thousand
dollars for what I would n1ake in three years. I might be retained
by some big corporation and make twice that amount in ·one fee."
You will be fortunate if you receive that many dollars instead of
thousands.
The first thing to do is to select for yourself some particular
place where your work will be done. Ally yourself with some particular court. This has its advantage. You soon get to be acquainted with your justice, who finds out whether you are sincere and honest, whether you are conducting your business in the
fair-minded way a lawyer should. Then if you are ever in a position where you have to ask favors the justice will know whether
to rely upon your representations, or whether you are making
him one of the customary excuses covered up with words. In
making your selection there are different theories with different
lawyers. Many justices say that you should not go more than
three blocks away from the court house. Now, this has its advantages. I see before me a gentleman who has handled hundreds
or thousands of cases in such a court, getting, I have no doubt,
con5iderable satisfaction from being able to do the business within a short distance of his office. I see before me other gentlemen
who are just as successful, who have not had probably so many
cases, who have seen fit to select justices in the outlying districts.
Both are justified on this ground alone. The gentleman who came
down town represented a big firm, doing an immense business.
His business was always first, and I have been in that court when

7

�8

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.

his business has taken the entire time of the court. I have waited
all the afternoon, have come back, and back again, and lost my
client because I was not influenti al with the court. I think one
saves his own time and the tim e of his client by choosing so me
oth er justice. Of course I realize that a great many people are
dragged out to outlying townships at early hours of the morning, or
late in the afternoon, in th e hope that he may be discouraged from
presenting his case. I do not think that any of you are going to
practice in th at way. There is no stigma, however, in doing your
work in a place where you can get prompt service and do not have
to wait for a trial; but when you do it be fair and decent.
The fir st thing to be considered when you have selected your
justice is th e question of costs. A great many lawyers go to the
statutes, and then tell a justice and the constables what they should
charge and what they should not. There has grown up a custom
in this region, a system of costs which in the main are about as
fai r as they can be. It is customary here now to pay a dollar to
the justice when the case is commenced, and another dollar to
the constable for serving process. Under the statute the constable would charge fifty cents and mileage. Lawyers doing much
business in justice courts have soon found out that th e best way
is to pay the constable this certain amount. Many lawyers at the
beginning of their experience berate the constables and justices
and speak of them as robbers, but a short experience will show
them not only that they will get better service by conforming to
the custom, which, as I have said, has grown up here in Cook
County, but that it will be cheaper in the end. I have heard many
an attorney try to dictate what the fees of the constable should
be. I have known of many cases where attorneys have said, "We
will not pay these fees, we will pay only the statutory fees." In
nearly every case th e statutory fees properly chargeable have exceeded the customary fees. Another thing to be considered is the
kind of case you have,-as, for instance, in a wage case you are
entitled to a fee if you give the notice required by the statute, and
have your juclgment properly entered up.
Another thing to con sider is whether you are likely to have to
start garnishment. If so, give the constable a garnishee notice
for him to serve at the same time that he serves the summons.
This has a good effect.
Another thing to do is to take an affidavit of your client's
claim. Have among your blank forms praecipes which have the
customary affidavit of claim. Have this fill ed in and sworn to
when a claim is first brought to you for collection. The Justice
Act provides that if you have that affidavit on the file and the de-

�THE LAW SCHOOL.

fondant does not appear the justice may enter a judgment upon
the affidavit, without taking evidence, the matter going by defa ult. Another advantage is this: Suppose you are pressed for
time. Suppose your witness fails to get there, and the other side
puts up the usual cry that it is a fraudulent claim, made without
merit, to annoy the defendant. The justice can see that the plaintiff has set forth a claim and that he has sworn to it, and with
that affidavit before him, showing that the plaintiff had sufficient
confidence in his case to swear to it, he is much more likely to
allow the plaintiff the continuance he asks.
Some attorneys require an assignment to them of every claim.
I personally do not approve of that practice, and I make this merely
as a suggestion.
Determine carefully before yon commence your suit as to the
legal entity of your defendant. Is it a partnership, an individual
or a corporation? You must do this because then comes the question of your service, which with reference to these different entities is brought about in a different way. If a partnership you
want to get in all your partners, for, although our Supreme Court
has held that it is not absolutely necessary, before proceeding to
trial, formerly they held that partners must a ll be served. If a
corporation be very careful as to the return of the constable as
that is a part of your summons. Another thing to caution you
about is this, that there is a very different return of a service upon
a corporation when your suit is in a justice court, from a sui t in
a court of record. Read the two acts and you will see that there
is a considerable difference. Oftentimes I have had brought into my
court returns where the constable has copied his return from the
Practice Act and not from the Justice Act. The defendant objected, and properly, because the return was not correct. Then
when your summons is to be made out there are several things to
consider. First as to the time. Probably you will want five days.
Have a certain day in the week for your justice court work and
make it returnable that day. This is a very good plan. Then
when a case is continued have it continued one week. It will save
you countless days and nights of worry and wonder as to whether
• you have a certain case coming up at a certain time or at some
other. It will enable you to systematize your work, and enable you
to do better work. V.' hen yon start your suit get service at once
and make the return day not too far off; better make it very
short. If you don't, your opponent may start suit against your
client, and he may get his summons ante-dated-I am sorry to
say that this can be done-and then you will be obliged to try his
case first, and may be compelled to put your claim in as a set-

�10

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.

off in his suit. And even if he has no real ground of action
against you he' has the advantage of trying your claim against him
in a court of his own selection. You will notice from the Justice Act that each party must bring forward all his claims against
the other party that exist at the time of the commencement of the
action, not at the time of the serving of the summons, and the decisions of our courts upon that clause are that the action which
gives jurisdiction is the one in whi.ch the summons is first issued
and not t)1e one in which service is first obtained.
In an attachment suit it is not always advisable to make your
suit returnable too soon, because the effect is to tie up the property of the defendant, and this is a perfectly legitimate mode of
compelling him to pay his debts, and a very effective way too.
Another thing. The statute allows thirty days to return this
writ. You will find that with most of the corporations in this
city pay-day comes once a week or at least twice a month. You
garnishee just before pay-day. The constable does not return
that writ to the court, acting under your instructions, but holds it.
You learn from the first answer how much money· was due the defendant, and you let it accumulate. Then on the next pay-day, or
just before, have your writ served and it will bring the defendant
around pretty quickly. This has brought many a defendant around
to settling a case without further delay.
I will tell you something which came up in my practice. A
suit was started before me, service had, and the time for trial came.
But before the case came to trial a judgment had been taken before one of the justices down town. There seemed to be something rather suspicious about it. The attorney was sure that they
could not have started that suit in good faith before he started
his, and it would have been absolutely necessary for them to
do so in order to have the earlier trial. I granted a continuance at his request, and suggested that he see whether there had
been good service in the other case, as the judgment was by default, and his client claimed not to have been served. He started
clown town, and on the way found a laboring man and asked
him if he wanted to make a half a dollar. "Yes," said the man.
"All right. You come with me." They went to the constable
whose return was on the writ which it was claimed had never
been served. "Are you Constable So-and-So?" "Yes." "You
served a writ on such-and-such a man. Would you recognize him
if you saw him?" "Certainly I would. That is the man with you."
"Are you sure of it?" "Quite sure." They then all three went before the justice who hacl rendered the judgment. Said the attorney: "This is the constable who served the writ in a case

�THE LAW SCHOOL.

11

here. There is some little question about this particular service.
This constable says that he would recognize the man he served
and has identified this man-pointing to the laboring man-as the
man he served. Now this man has nothing to do with the case.
Never heard of it, never saw any of the parties to it, and knew
nothing about it until I asked him to come along with me, and ,
then he did not know what I wanted him for. The defendant in
this case is quite another man. He is now just a block from here,
and I can get him over here in five minutes, and he will tell you
that he has never been served." The result was all that the attorney
could ask, and after disposing of the matter in the down town
court he then proceeded on the action in my court.
Draw your own papers. It is surprising what a number of
successful attorneys cannot fill out the ordinary blanks in a case
in a justice court. The ordinary as,umpsit summons seems to be a
riddle to them, and 111 attachment, replevin or garnishment they
need a guide-board all the way along. Make out yo ur own papers
and know what they say, and you will find on the face of them
many answers to questions and objections that your opponent
makes at the trial. Many attorneys do not know the reading of
the writ in the case they are attempting to prosecute. Keep your
own record. Docket every case and in full. Keep as full a record
as the justice himself. For your own edification have a justice
make up a transcript in some case you are interested in or any
case where several things have been done. You will get more
than fifty cents' worth of knowledge out of it. Many justices don't
know how to write up their dockets, and the attorneys frequently
have to write them up in order to get a record such as they can
use, or to have a transcript which will be of any value." You should
know these things. They are as much a part of your legal education as the lectures you are attending here in the law school.
Another thing to remember is whether you need subpoenas.
Remember that you can serve four persons on one subpoena, and
that you can have a subpoena d11ces tecuni if you need books and
papers. Have these ready to use them if needed.
The next step in your procedure will come when your c;i.se is
reached and called for trial. There are questions that need to be
considered at that time. In my judgment the man who is the most
successful in meeting questions that arise from the time when the
case is first called until the first witness is sworn, who knows how
to take advantage of every point between those two steps, is the
man that wins the most cases in the justice courts, and has the
greatest success. You may think the questions to be considered
.Jre foolish and frivolous.

�12

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.

It is at this time that questions as to service come up. If you
represent the defendant you have examined the service. Whether
you want to make a moti on to quash the service or make what is
practically a plea in abatement to it, according as th e case may
require, you want to know and rememb er how and when to enter
a special appearance for the purpose of objecting to the serv ice as
improper.
Then as to change of venue. Better have your affi davits ready.
Most justices will not take advantage of you, but some are severe
about these things and deny you a change unless you are quite
right in your mann er of asking for it. One case I remember where
a request was ma de for a change of venue. " All right," said th e
justice. "Hold up your ri ght hand and be sworn." The defendant was sworn, whereupon th e justice turned to the plai;1tiff with
the remark, "The witnesses are sworn. We will proceed to trial."
Another trick in preventing a change of venu e is that of the
fictitious defendant, where a friend of the plaintiff is added
as a defendant in the case and objects to a change of ven ue, and
of course it cannot be had because both or all defendants must
a sk for it. I once saw it carried to this extent. A defendant
asked for a change of venue. Defendant then asked leave to make
a new party defendant to ·the suit and a dded his fictiti ous defendant. He then asked for a continuance for service. The next time
the case came up the fictiti ous defendant appeared in court, by hi s
attorney, and objected to a change of venue. To know you r business in practicing in a justice court you have got to be prepared
to meet these situations.
Another question to be considered: You may come to trial and
your client may be absent. What are you going to do? The first
thing to do is to make an effort for a continuance. It has grown
to be a custom to allow one change of venue in every case, no matter
what reason may be given. In the absence of the plaintiff and of
his attorney the statute says the case must be dismissed, although
I have known justices to go ahead and render judgment for the
plaintiff in his absence.
If you propose to deny the execution of any instrument sued
on or used in defence, you must prepare and file an affidavit denying its execution before the trial.
If you intend to deny joint liability on the part of several persons joined in the action you should prepare and file an affidavit
to that effect. The effect of the statute requiring this affidavit is
that if it is not filed the plaintiff is under no obligation to prove
joint liability. B.ut if your affidavit denying joint liability is on
file then the plaintiff must prove the joint liability. Denial of a

partnership is an instance where this affidavit sho uld be filed.
These affidavits must be filed before the beginning of the case.
As to continuances, you must consider what you should have
in your affidavit for a continuance and what grounds entitle you to
it. When I got through the law school and came up to my first
affidavit for continuance I had no more idea of what it should contain than the man in the moon. You should know the essentials
of a good affidavit for a continuance. It is a question of study
and research.
Another thi ng to be considered, if you are plainti ff, is whether
the defendant has filed a plea of set-off. Watch fo r this. You
bring a case in which you have doubt. You don't believe all your
client has told you. The other party files a set-off. You think
he is going to prove it. You don't want a judgment against your
client. The statute says there shall be no dismissal. Here is something I have seen done several times : If you are faced with this
so rt of a case and the other party has filed a set-off, get a continuance and then don't appea r, because the statute requires the
suit to be dismissed when the plaintiff does not appear and the
statute must be followed.
Forcible entry and detainer suits. These cases when called
are almost sure to be tried and the granting of a continuance is
seldom allowed, and then only upon a very strong showing, because the t endency is to r egard all applications for a continuance
in such suits as for the purpose of delaying the suit and preventing
the plaintiff from regaining possession of his premises.
Remember there is no such thing as an atto rney in a justice
court. He is merely an agent. Therefore an attorney cannot enter
an app ea rance for a party defendant in a justice court. The only
way that can be entered is by the party himself and in wr iting.
Take no chances with the attorney who enters an appearance for
the defendant because he has no right to do so, and he may be
setting a trap for you.
Be careful about a bill of particulars. D emand it befo re
the witnesses are sworn. The other side has the right to it.
Don't be so fooli sh as some attorneys are, especiall y the younger
ones, who think none is necessary. Produce it. If you have a
good case, don't be ashamed of it. If you haven't a case, don't
bring it.
Consider whether you want a jury. The ordinary ju stice court
jury may consi st of six men, or possibly of twelve. If you are
a plaintiff and your case is strong in its equities and doubtful in
law, take a jury. If the other side asks for a j ury and puts up the
costs for a jury of six, do you, if opposed, demand a jury of twelve

men and you will find in many cases that your opponent has not
brought the other three dollars with him. The ordinary jury in a justice court never finds for the landlord in a case between a landlord
and a tenant. I have had but one case before me where a j'ury
has found for the landlord in such a case, and I never knew why
they did in that case.
If a jury is called, be careful what constable gets the venire,
and see that it goes to a constable who has had nothing to do with
the case, and nothing to do with the attorney for the other side.
When you get the jury in the box, in order to avoid having it
filled up with a lot of "loafers," (such are waiting around every
justice court for a chance to serve on a jury for fifty cents), be
careful as to one set of questions. Be particularly careful to ask
whether they have served on a jury recently. Many an attorney
has failed to bring out this fact, which in many cases will disqualify the entire jury, but has gone on and accepted the jury as
it was. You cannot expect much from these men. I regret to say
that in every court in this city there are hanging about a large
number of men so cheap that fifty cents a week is all that they
care for.
Another thing. Give notice of recoupment or set-off. Whatever it is, give notice of it, because the justice may not agree with
you whether it is recoupment or set-off, and if you give notice you
are safe, whichever he thinks it is.
One thing the lawyer must remember, and that is that the nonsuit is his friend when in distress, the life-buoy of every lawyer in
trouble. If you are for the defendant and the plaintiff is a nonresident, insist upon a bond for costs.
The next thing is the trial. After the witnesses are sworn, a
good thing to do is to call for the exclusion of the witnesses. You
will find that all witnesses except the parties to the suit may be
excluded, and often your best success is by having the witnesses
separated.
Another thing to be careful about is not to introduce an excessive amount of evidence. Most all lawyers overdo the thing·.
They get an immense amount of evidence in to prove a very simple thing. They open up a wide field for cross-examination, and
pretty soon something comes out that the lawyer did not know
was in the case and which he wishes was not there.
If you represent the plaintiff, don't try to bring out by your
witnesses matters in defence. Keep something in reserve, covered
up, ready to hurl back in rebuttal. Payments are defences, and don't
try to prove those. Let the oth"er party prove them. You have
troubles of your own.

�THE LAW SCHOOL.

Now, as to cross-examination. A large amount of cross-examination does not show the court the wisdom of the young lawyer as he may think it does. A very wise thing is to leave crossexamination alone, unless you can't avoid it. If you know the other
party is telling the truth, don't cross-examine him. If he is lying,
pursue him with a vengeance on the point where he is lying.
The question of witness fees will constantly come up. You
call the other party and he asks for his witness fees. Take down
the statute and show that the statute requires a party to the suit
to testify if called on. Many lawyers try another plan with
a great degree of success. They call the defendant to the stand.
This will make the attorney on the other side worry and squirm.
Ask th e defendant questions on points where he agrees with your
client. In many instances you can prove your case, when your witness is not in court and you cannot get a continuance, by calling
the defendant. But unquestionably it takes good courage to do this,
because you can't count on what the defendant witness may do or
say.
Sometimes the plaintiff's attorney introduces a note and rests.
By being prompt and brief you sometimes take the defendant off
his guard, and before he has recovered or has his own defense in
shape, he finds a judgment entered against him. You can prove your
whole case in this way. I saw a lawyer try this once where a jury
was called for by the other side. He got up and said: "Gentlemen of the jury, I propose to show in this case the following,"
and then he recited a long statement of facts. When he had finished he offered a lease in evidence. The defendant's attorney
tried to force the justice to make the plaintiff's attorney put on
witnesses to prove the statement of facts,-urged that he had promised to prove this and that and the other thing, but had not done so.
He became so excited that he forgot essential proof that he should
have offered in defence and lost his case.
The young lawyer has hard work to get into his case. He
doesn't know how to open up his case, and then gets nervous and
excited. The best way is to start out with simple questions as to
name, residence, etc. "What claim do you make against the defendant in this case?" If your client has been properly prepared
he will answer to the point, so that your case is opened up. Ask
some such general question as that in order to get your case
started.
In your trial no matter what happens be courteous as a
general thing in your conduct toward the court. If you are
getting the worst of it, show that!' you take it goodnaturedly. If you are a young man you may be there the next day,

�16

whether your client is or not. If you try to deliver a lecture
to the justice you will probably never get favorable attention in
that court again. Remember that you must always see the right
side of a case even when you are heated in the argument of the
case. Many lawyers have come to me and apologized and regretted that they made fools of themselves, and said: "Here is
a decision which shows that you were right and I was wrong, and I
am sorry that I stormed around so." It never helps your client, nor
yourself, to make a scene. Some old lawyers have had experience
enough to do it; they know when it helps. But for a young lawyer it is hardly safe.
Another thing is that when a judge begins to sum up and you
can see what is coming and it is going against you, and you are
the plaintiff, you have then your life-buoy, the non- suit.
Another thing, which is often done, and I am speaking of my
own knowledge among attorneys of this city, is to inquire what
are the trial costs and tell the client to pay them. That looks
like a little thing, but it shows that the man has remembered a
thing which is a very little thing, and it helps wonderfully in making friends with the courts. It does not hurt his client nor hurt
the attorney, but helps both of them.
After your judgment is obtained the fight is not entirely won.
The next thing is the execution. Ordinarily it issues in twenty
days, but the statute provides that there may be an immediate
execution on oath. The most successful lawyers are the ones who
take out an immediate execution on oath. Take out your immediate execution; have it returned. If your defendant has real
estate, have it returned with the real estate return, get your transcript, and file it. Then if the defendant does appeal he has a
hard situation if he wants to sell his real estate. I know offices
where immediate exec ution s are taken out in eve ry case. They
get a real estate transcript in every case and have them on file
within forty -eight hours after getting the judgment. They are
wonderfuily successful in getting settlements of their cases. Follow them up in this way. It is your business to follow them up
and not to lag along with the matter. Push right ahead. Don't
wait. You want your execution in the constable's hands so that
· you may have your lien. Your duty is to take care of your client,
not of the othe r party.
The schedules will come along in ten days. When they come
in, look them over and see whether there seems to be any prospect of realizing the execution, comparing the return of the
schedule with the report of your constable as to about what personal property the defendant has. Generally you can do noth-

�THE LAW SCHOOL.

17

ing with the schedules, but will have to pursue your collection in
some other way.
Going back again to the starting of your suits. In attachment
or distress for rent start your suit more than ten days before return day. The statute requires schedule within ten days from the
time when the attachment or distress was levied. Don't allow your
claim to lie after taking out your first execution. Return it every
seventy days. Get it back there and let your debtor understand that
you have taken out another one and that it is going into the constable's hands. After he has been through this process a few times,
though it sometimes takes a couple of years, he will want to settle.
As to appeal. You can appeal from below or from the upper
court. Many go to the upper court. Some atto rn eys make it a
uniform practice to appeal in the upper court. If an appeal is taken
get a transcript and file it. Be sure and get your transcript on
file. Where the appeal is taken in the court below it is the business of the other party to follow it up. Remember that the justice
court practice is statutory. The statute says that in all cases there
shall be an appeal except in judgments confessed. See what an
opening that is for practice which is strictly legal, but not commendable, and which will in many cases give a judgment against you which
you won't know about until the judgment is had. Suppose you started
a case below. You have stayed away and the case is dismissed
or non-suited. Not one lawyer in a hundred comes back to see
whether anything further is done. Suppose you appeal your case
by bond filed with the justice. It comes up in the upper court.
You try it, get judgment and the defendant hears of it first when
execution is levied against him. Under the decisions in the Circuit Court it would appear that under this particular clause of the
Justice Act, allowing appeal in all cases except judgments confessed, that you could non-suit yonr case yourself and go back
and appeal with the justice, and obtain a judgment in the court
above without the knowledge of the defendant.
Another thing is that either party may appeal. But the law
provides that if two appeals are taken they must be to the same
court. You come to the conclusion that the other party is going to
appeal. You appeal first. He appeals also. You go in and move to
have his appeal di smissed because your appeal is pending, and it is
dismissed, and then you go in again and dismiss your own appeal.
A judgment in a justice comt may be revived after seven
years. It must be within ten. A judgment in an upper court may
be revived within twenty years. You may take your j uclgment
from an upper court and sue in a justice court to revive the judgment, and be within the statute, and then garnishee at a much less

�18

cost than in the upper court where the costs are higher. This is
if your judgment was for a small amount.
Garnishment. The suit is started by the filing of the affidavit
and of the demand. Most of you may not know exactly how to
proceed. It is bewildering. The ordinary course is for the
garnishee to appear and answer, and, if a corporation, to mail an
answer sworn to by some official of the corporation. In such a
case the other side may get a continuance for a week's time to investigate ,vhether the answer is true. If not, they may contest
and go to trial. The great mistake in garnishment practice is
this: Oftentimes the client has funds in liis hands and another
claims them. The thing to do in a case of that sort is to go into
court and be frank with the court, say that your client has this
fund but so-and-so claims it, and so we do not know whom it belongs to. Get it disposed of by the jiistice and settle up the whole
thing in the one matter.
Remember also that a bona fide assignment of a claim defeats the claim, although notice of the assignment does not go in
until after the service of the notice. It defeats it nevertheless. It
is the duty of the garnishee to set up every defence which the
defendant might. If your client has been garnisheed notify him to
appear and set up all the defences that he may have.
Remember there are no alias writs in attachment. If you do
not get services on your first writ get it by publication. Sell the
property on the first execution because there are no alias special
executions in attachment. Appear specially and question the attachment, in cases where your client owes the money but you don't want
to pay it immediately. Go in and defeat the attachment if you can,
and the result will be merely a judgment in assumpsit against your
client.
These are but a few of the points which I could touch upon
here. A friend who sits before me now said once that it was
harder to practice in a justice court than in the Supreme Court of
the State; and he was not exaggerating it.

��I-THE GARY COLLECTION OF CONTINENTAL
LAWS AND JURISPRUDENCE.
By two recent gifts of money, one in February a.n d the other in
June, Hon. Elbert H. Gary, '67, formerly of Chicago, and now of
New York, has generously enabled the School to acquire a complete collection of the laws and jurisprudence of all the countries
of Continental Europe-a collection unequaled in any other American library. The major portion of the collection has already arrived; another part is purchased and on its way; and the remainder
has been ordered, but will not arrive until October or November,
owing to the difficulties inherent in obtaining the materials from
such countries as Russia, Servia, Hungary, and Turkey.
The countries represented in the collection are as follows:
Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece,
Holland, Hungary, Italy, Luxembo urg, Monaco, Montenegro, Norway, Portugal, Roumania, Russia, Servia, Spain, Sweden, Sw'itzerland, Turkey-twenty-two in all. In the Austrian will be included
the separate laws of Bohemia, Bosnia, Croatia, Herzegovina, Slavonia, and other principalities. Under .the Ru ssian collection will
be included the separate laws of Finland, Esthland, Kurland, Livland, and Poland. Under the Swi ss collection will be included the
separate codes of the individual cantons. The Turkish collection
will include the general and special legislation of the Ottoman Empire as a whole and for its European lands, together with such
treatises as exhibit the main features of the Mussulman law ; but
the vast body of Mussulman jurisprudence, applying as it does ·to
num erous countries of Mohammedan population, from India to
Morocco, is rather Oriental than European in its bearings, and has
therefore fallen without the limits of this collection.
The contents of the collection for each country will include
the following six elements: 1. The Codes, or systematic legislation, in the original language; 2. The same, in translations in
French or German; 3. The reports of decisions of the Supreme
Courts of justice; 4. One or more leading law journals; 5. One
or more treatises systematically expounding the whole body of
the contemporary law and specific important topics of the law;
6. One or more treatises upon the history of the law. The collection will also contain, as appurtenant to its main purposes,
though not involved in the body of law for individual countries,
the following materials: 7. All the extant texts of the Roman
law, together with a few leading modern commentaries; 8. The
5

�6

NORTHWESTERN

UNIVERSITY.

texts of the mediaeval Canon law, with a few leading modern
commentaries; 9. The leading journals and collections of Comparative Legislation; and 10. The leading journals of International
Law and the chief collections of treaties. It need hardly be said
that no collection having such an extensive scope could pretend
to be complete in the literal sense of the word. Such a completeness would not be feasible, because even within these countries
themselves a complete collection sometimes does not exist, and because, even where it does, nothing less than the bodily transportation of a royal or imperial library would suffice to attain the end.
Nor would such a completeness at present be worth while, because
relatively so large a proportion of useless material would be included. But a practical completeness is both possible and desirable,
and is intended according to the lines above mentioned. The six
main elements of the collection for each country will make the collection as serviceably complete as can be desired for the purposes
of the library.
Under the first three heads-legislation and decisions-it is expected to obtain all the materials available. Under
the fourth head-law journals-it does not appear necessary to
obtain more than the leading periodicals containing the contributions of the important thinkers of the profession. This, to be sure,
means a varying number of journals in different countries-a dozen
or more in Germany, for example, four or five in France, one or
two more in each of the other countries. Under the fifth headleading treatises and commentaries-the selection will be kept within narrow limits. From Germany and France-the most fertil e
sources of modern legal thought, and those whose languages are
commonly the only foreign ones available to the American lawyer
-two or three hundred volumes will be selected; but from the
other countries the number will not exceed ten or twenty each,
including the chief encyclopedias or systematic commentaries and
special treatises on inheritance and other topics of practical consequences to foreign-born residents of the United States. Under
the sixth head-historical treatises-will be included all the chief
modern investigations in France and Germany, as important to the
history of Anglo-American law; together with one or two leading
treatises ( there are seldom more in print) for each of the other
countries.
This collection will be unique among the libraries of our country. Much of its material will be for the first time available in
the United States; other parts, for the first time in th e West. The
library of the Law School of Harvard University (the only other
one as yet equipped with continental codes and decisions) now contains the reports of decisions of Austria, Belgi!lm, France, Ger-

�THE LAW

SCHOOL.

many, Holland, Italy and Spain, together with the leading law journals of Austria, France, Germany, Holland and Italy; and its collection of German and French treatises is larger than the selection
deemed necessary for the library of this School. But the acquisition of the systematic legislation and jurisprudence of the remaining continental countries seems not to have been attempted hitherto
in any library in this country. For the West, moreover, in tlie
departments of international law and comparative legislation, the
Gary collection has a special significance, because it makes available
here for the first time certain important journals and collections of
documents, and notably increases the opportunities for studying
international law in many of its relations most material to this
country. In truth, the underlying aim, in acquiring the Gary collection, is to establish in the West a new center for scholarship and
research in the subjects covered by it, and to make available here
those materials which have hitherto been accessible only in the East
or in Europe. With the co-operation of other libraries, it ought
to be possible ultimately to provide in Chicago such an equipment,
covering the legislation, jurisprudence, and customary law of the
entire world, as would render unnecessary a resort to other centers
for the materials of legal learning and practice.
As soon as the Gary collection is completely installed, a catalogue will be compiled and printed for distribution to those who
are interested. But this can hardly be before the end of the present
calendar year. In the meantime, the following list of leading
French and German legal periodicals already received (full sets of
which are represented) will serve to suggest the scope of the contents of the collection at large:

Bulletin de la societe de legislation comparee.
It may be asked, What are the specific uses to which such a
collection of foreign law can be put? Certainly, three at least. In
the first place, the pres~nce of such a library is a constant reminder
of the cosmopolitanism of legal problems and an incentive to
broader legal thinking. Quite apart from the · needs of a general
course of legal instruction in comparative legislation or legal
history (for which perhaps the profession in this country is yet
hardly ready), there is always something to be gained by a compa rative view. Whether it concern the formation of contracts by
correspondence, or the parol evidence rule, or the liability of employers for injuries to workmen, or the nature of limited partnerships,-in these and countless other departments, scarcely any legal
problem appears as a native and exclusive one of our own. New
solutions approved and old ones found wanting are chronicled for
our advantage in the records of other systems of law. The time
is coming when we shall wish and shall need to compare them.
The opportunity to do so will create the inclination and the demand. This library will make it possible to satisfy such needs.
In the second place, the history of our own Anglo-American
Jaw, directly rooted as it is in the history of the Teutonic peoples,
requires for its investigators an acquaintance with the early legal
ideas of Germany, France, and Scandinavia. The work of Brunner,
Heusler, Stobbe, v. Amira, and Esmein, forms the preface to the
work of Ames, Maitland, Pollock, and Thayer. A complete library
of American law must include the history of French, German and
Scandinavian law. This is essential if a sound legal scholarship is
to be built up in the West.
In the third place, and in one aspect most important of all, the
daily practice of the law is profitably served by this collection. The
varied immigrant population of this country, especially in the Central West and the Northwest, has created a need for it. In the
city of Chicago alone, the foreign-born population reaches these
figures: Bohemians, 36,000; Dutch, 19,000 ; Poles, 60,000; Danes,

�THE LAW

10,000; Hungarians, 5,000; Germans, 170,000; Italians, 16,000; Russians, 2"5,000; Norwegians, 22,000; Swedes, 49,000; others not British, 40,000. Among this large population of foreign birth (and
those of foreign parentage will increase these figures) many individuals from time to time become affected by legal questions of inheritance, of marriage, of commercial paper, of military service, and
, of other sorts, in which the tenor of the law of a foreign country
is material or decisive. Hitherto, in such cases, either the investigation of that law has been foregone, as too tedious or too expensive, or a few casual sources have been summatily made to suffice, or the whole matter has been placed in the hands of a continental lawyer. It will now be possible to ascertain adequately
here at home the foreign law; and thus either a resort abroad will
become wholly unnecessary, or the foreign attorney's services will
be needed only for proceedings taken abroad. In any event, much
time and expense may be saved, and a more intelligent handling
of the case will be possible. The probabilities of the Library's
practical usefulness in this direction have come markedly to the
surface, since the first announcement of its acquisition, and appear
now to be much greater than was originally expected.
In the selection of materials and the planning of the Library's
uses, the School has sought advice from the consuls and other
skilled persons here who are in touch with this particular need. The
School is prepared to place the Library at the service of those
of the profession who thus would utilize it, without other than a
nominal charge to cover the expense of making known its resources.
The plan, as at present formed, is to permit the use of the Gary
Collection to any member of the bar in Chicago upon only this
nominal charge; and, for the benefit of practitioners in other parts
of the country, to appoint a staff of local practitioners, one for each
foreign country, skilled in the respective languages, and to commit
to them for investigation any case stated which may be sent to the
School, charging for this a small minimum fee and handing it to
the particular local practitioner who makes the investigation and
supplies the opinion. No doubt a considerable service can by this
means be rendered to the profession, as well as to the entire community in the West and Northwest.
It is proper here to add that, for the purpose of securing additions to the department of International Law, gifts of substantial
sums were also made by Mr. Wm. Alden Fuller, of the Board of
Trustees, and Professor Charles Cheney Hyde. For the same purpose, Mr. Julius Rosenthal, of the Chicago bar, has presented to
the library a complete set of the Annuaire de l' Institiit de droit
international.

�II-OPENING OF THE LIBRARY TO MEMBERS
OF THE BAR.
With a view to increasing the opportunities of legal study and
reference for the younger members of the bar whose libraries are
limited, especially the alumni of the School, the following circular
letter has recently been sent to all members of the Chicago bar:
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF LAW
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BUILDING

CHICAGO, ILL., June 15, 1903.
To tlie Jl1~mbers o/ tlte Bar of tke City o/ Cllicago;
Believing that there is a demand for an additional law library, not in any sense
to compete with the library of the Law Institute or that of the Bar Association, but to
provide material not included in either of the above libraries, and to provide facili·
ties for young attorneys not owning their own libraries nor having an amount of
practice that will warrant the purchase of a membership in the Chicago Law Institute.
the trustees of Northwestern University and the faculty of the Law School beg to
extend the privileges of the Law School Library to the members of the bar of this city.
The library is located in the quarters of the school, third floor, Northwestern
University Building, two blocks distant from the court house. In convenience for
study and research it is unexcelled. The room is divided into large, clean, quiet,
\Yell ventilated and we ll lighted alcoves, each alcove containing a table and comfortable chairs. The library is being gradually increased, and at present comprises the
United States Reports, a ll of the State Reports to the Reporter System, the complete
National Reporter System, the Lawyers'Reports Annotated, all of the Illinois Reports,
statutes of all the States in the Un ion, and a large collection of die-ests, encyclopedias
and text books. Of the English Reports it possesses the complete Law Reports since
1865, most of the remaining reports between 1790 and 1865, and the Full Reprint of
the earlier Reports as far as issued. The Gary Collection of Treatises, Reports and
Statutes of the Continental Law is now being installed and will be completed during
the summer. This collection includes the jurisprudence of Germany, France, Austria,
Spain, Switzerland, Holland, Italy and Belgium, to which that of other European
countries will shortly be added, and it will not be equaled by any other collection in the
United States. As a source of investigation for International Law and Continental
Law it will provide facilities hitherto wholly unavailable west of the Atlantic Coast.
A yearly fee of $2.00 will be charged members of the bar who are not graduates
of this school, and a fee of Si.00 yearly will be charged graduates of the school.
Books cannot be taken from the library.
Those desiring to avail themselves of this offer may register and pay th e required
fee at the office of the School.
THE FACULTY OF THE SCHOOL OF LAW
NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY,

It may be added that the School reserves the right, if by September too large a number of practitioners avail themselves of this
privilege to admit of convenient use by the students, to increase
the fee or otherwise to limit the number admitted to the privilege.

�III-UNVEILING OF THE MEMORIAL AUTOGRAPH OF PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT.
On April 8, in the Assembly Room of the School, occurred the
unveiling of the glass tablet containing the autograph of President
Roosevelt. A photograph of this tablet, as well as of that bearing
the autograph of Mr. Ju stice Holmes, is published in this number
of the QUARTERLY BULLETIN. The circumstances under which the
autograph came to be inscribed were as follows:
The opening of the new quarters of the School had been appointed for October 3. President Roosevelt and Mr. Justice Holmes
had both been invited, in June last, to attend the opening ceremonies. Mr. Justice Holmes, believing that he would be unable
to absent himself from the bench, had not accepted the invitation.
President Roosevelt, who was at the time planning a tour of the
West, had accepted; the University Committee of Invitation being
Hon. H. S. Boutell, Trustee of the University, and Hon. George E .
Foss and Hon. James B. Mann, graduates of the School. The
President was within three days of Chicago, in the course of his
tour, when a sudden development of illness obliged him to return
to Washington, and the arrangements for October 3 were abandoned. The opening ceremonies were then fixed for October 21,
and the invitation was renewed to Mr. Justice Holmes, who found
that this date was compatible with his engagements, and accepted.
His dedicatory address of October 21 was printed in the N ovember number of the QUARTERLY BULLETIN; and on the occasion of
the ceremony he inscribed his name, with a diamond, on a glass
tablet. Some time later, President Roosevelt resumed his plan
of a Western tour, and a visit to the University became again a part
of his arrangements; but on this occasion it was made to include
only a visit to the Evanston departments of the University. The
Law School, however, not desiring to Jose all association with a
visit originally intended for its sole benefit and defeated only by
mischance, appointed Hon. H. S. Boutell as a committee to request
from the President his autograph on a glass tablet, to bear the
date originally planned, and to be placed in the Assembly Room in
company with that of Mr. Justice Holmes. The same diamond
was sent to Mr. Boutell at Washington, and the request was acceded to by the President.
The visit of the President to the University occurred on April
3; and on April 8, the two tablets having been infixed in the chim11

�12

NORTHWESTERN

UNIVERSITY.

ney-piece of the Assembly Room, an informal gathering of students and faculty took place in that room at 9 P. M. (after the
close of the contest for the Towle prize for public speaking). Mr.
BouteII then recounted the circumstances of his interview with the
President and attested the act of signing and the identity of the
autograph. The tablets were then unveiled. The award of the
Towle prize ( to Mr. Strickland, '05) was then announced; and
Mr. McKinney, '03, on behalf of the Northwestern Chapter of the
Delta Chi legal fraternity, presented to the School, for the Assembly Room, a handsome Dutch clock, bearing on a brass plate the
following inscription: "Presented to the Law School of Northwestern University by Northwestern Chapter of Delta Chi, April
the eighth, nineteen hundred and three."
The gathering then resolved itself into a sociable smoker.
A photograph of the memorial autographs is published in this
number of the QUARTERLY BULLETIN.

�VII-ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE LEGAL TACTICS
COURSE FOR 1903-4.
The course of addresses on Legal Tactics, given for the first
time during the past year, proved highly successful, and will becontinued as a most useful feature of the School's work. Its plan
is unique in the history of law school methods. The object is to
preserve, for the benefit of young practitioners, those results of
experience which will best save him from the mistakes of his predecessors and enable him to profit by their practical knowledge.
The material for these addresses is not the rules and principles asrecorded in reports and statutes, but the practical use of those rules,
as affected by common sense, human nature, and other important
considerations lying mainly in experience-in short, the tactics
as distinguished from the rules. Such addresses, from men of
strict professional standards and special experience in a particular
subject, are invaluable to the aspiring generation. The attendance
at this course has come mainly from young practitioners of one to·,
five years' standing; a few of longer standing have attended, and a
few of the third year students in the School. The number presenthas ranged from thirty to eighty, varying according to the intere_st
of the particular topic.
The course will be given on Monday evenings at 8, from Octo- ·
her to April, each address beginning at 8 o'clock, and usually occu-·
pying about an hour. Each one will be announced, with the nan1e·
of the topic and the speaker, for one week beforehand in the Chicago Daily Law Bulletin, at the head of the court-call calendar.
The order of topics, the dates of each, and the names of the
speakers, have not been finally settled upon; a schedule will be
printed in September. There will be twenty addresses, and the·
topics will be chosen from the following list,-some of which are
new, and some identical with those of last year but dealt with by·
different lecturers:

�VIII-THE FORECLOSURE OF MORTGAGES.
An Address Delivered in the Legal Tactics Course, January
1902, by W. W. Case, Esq., of the Chicago Bar.

12,

"When your Dean asked me to lecture before you on the subject of the foreclosure of mortgages from the point of view of experience and tactics, I was at first disposed to look upon the invitation as a doubtful honor. The foreclosure of mortgages is by no
means the most ambitious branch of legal practice. The lawyer
who makes it his special business is in truth the scavenger of the
profession. However, as some vessels are appointed to honor and
some to dishonor, I have concluded that even the foreclosure of
mortgages, if worth doing at all, is worth doing well, and as I
have at times had a good many mortgages to foreclose, I am glad
to give you the benefit of my experience. As I understand this
course of lectures, the object is not to instruct you in legal principles, which can be learned from books, but rather in those points
of routine which the legal text writers consider beneath their notice,
and which can ordinarily be picked up only in actual practice.
"Many lawyers seem to think the foreclosure of mortgages good
practice for the office boy. When a mortgagor has made defaun,
there is nine times out of ten no serious contest. If the defendants
employ a lawyer at all he is very apt to be a cheap man retained
merely to delay the proceedings as long as possible. You seldom
come in contact with the great luminaries of the bar. During the
progress of the suit there is little of that opposition which provokes
a lawyer to do his best work, and the case is apt to be turned over
to a junior clerk who proceeds with no great difficulty to carry
the suit to a conclusion. It often occurs that after the litigation
is ended th e complainant' s attorney discovers for the first time the
identity of his real adversary.
"The most important point to bear in mind in the foreclosure
of mortgages is that when the litigation is over, the property sold,
a deed recorded purporting to convey title to the purchaser, and
the abstract of title brought down to show the proceedings and
the deed, the record of title must be one which will withstand the
scrntiny of lawy ers expert in the e:rnmination of abstracts. Everything may have gone forward with a semblance of perfect prosperity to an apparently triumphant conclusion. The absence of
opposition has begotten a fals e security, but all the while your
silent adversary was some quiet little lawyer waiting in a real estate
2l

office for the abstract of title to examine after the foreclosure is
finished. If he finds a flaw in the proceedings, the work may have
to be done over again, or a considerable amount of money expended
in clearing away objections to the title which ought to have been
settled in tfie foreclosure suit. Accordingly, it is incumbent upon
the lawyer foreclosing a mortgage to assume the character of his
own adversary and keep always in mind the question how the proceedings will appear in the abstract of title. To do this successfully one needs practical experience in the examination of titles,
and until he has acquired this he cannot be trusted to foreclose
mortgages safely.
"1. Nature of the Mortgage Estate. The estate created by a
mortgage under Illinois law is somewhat anomalous. As at common law, the legal title is in the mortgagee, but it is a legal title
of a peculiar character. In the first place, it is a base or determinable fee, which comes to an end absolutely as soon as the debt secured by it is paid or barred by limitation. The mortgagor's legal
estate is then as if the mortgage had never been. Again, althoug)1
the legal title is in the mortgagee, nobody except the mortgagee is
allowed to say so. After default the mortgagee may sue the mortgagor in ejectment and his legal title will prevail, but if the mortgagor brings ejectment against a trespasser the defendant cannot
say that the legal title is outstanding in the mortgagee. This is true
notwithstanding the rule that the plaintiff in ejectment must recover on the strength of his own title and not on the weakness of
the defendant's title. Generally speaking, the defendant in an ejectment suit, even though he has no title himself, can defend successfully by showing that the plaintiff does not hold the legal title; but
if the defendant attempts to show that the legal title is in the mortgagee he will be told that it is none of his business. This is explained by saying that as between mortgagor and mortgagee the
latter has the legal title, but that the mortgagor has the legal title
as against the rest of the world. Then, again, although the legal
title is in the mortgagee, he cannot maintain ejectment upon it until
the condition of the mortgage is broken, that is to say until default
has been made in paying the debt or an instalment thereof, or in
performing some other condition expressed in the instrument. This
peculiar doctrine is due to exceptions that have been grafted by our
Supreme Court on the common law rule that the legal title must
always prevail in ejectment, and that if the defendant has an equitable defence he must resort to equity for an injunction against the
prosecution of the suit. At an early day our Courts decided that a
person who has contracted to buy real estate and has been put in
possession under the contract can defend an action of ej ectment

although the vendor has the legal title. At common law his only
remedy would have been by a bill in equity to enjoin the action,
but our Court has seen fit to allow some equitable defences to be
interposed in the ejectment suit itself. This is an anomalous doctrine, and creates much uncertainty in the law. There is no way
of determining just what equitable defences will be sustained and
what will not. The right of a mortgagor to defend an ejectment
suit brought by the mortgagee before default is a phase of this
doctrine.
"2. The Nature of Trust Deeds. Nine-tenths of the foreclosures in Chicago are of trust deeds rather than of mortgages
strictly so-called. The only difference, however, is that a mortgage conveys the estate to the creditor himself while a trust deed
conveys it to some one else for his benefit. A trust deed given to
secure a debt is in legal effect a mortgage, and what I have to say
about mortgages is equally applicable to such trust deeds. When I
speak of a mortgagor I mean also the grantor in a trust deed of
this character, and when I speak of a mortgagee I mean to include
either the trustee in a trust deed or the holder of the notes secured
thereby or both.
"3. Different Methods of Foreclornre. The main subject of
this address is the ordinary foreclosure in equity, where the property is sold by an officer of the court to the highest bidder, allowing the mortgagee a certain time for redemption from the sale.
There are, however, various other methods of foreclosure recognized by law.
"(1. ) There is the old method of scire facias, which was generally adopted in the early history of this state. This is in the
nature of an execution sale based on the record of the mortgage.
The remedy has become practically obsolete, although perhaps without sufficient reason. The bar in general is not familiar at thepresent day with foreclosure by scil-e facias, and there may still
be cases· where it could be adopted with great advantage. A lawyer
who has many mortgages to foreclose would do well to make a
study of this subject.
"(2.) Some thirty years ago a large majority of mortgages
or trust deeds were foreclosed under powers of sale without auy
resort to the courts. This method of foreclosure was abrogated by
statute in 1878 and no mortgages or trust deeds made since that
date can be foreclosed under powers of sale. This subject, there fore, is of interest only to the examiners of abstracts of title or to
the student of legal history.
"(3.) After default a mortgagee has a right to take possession and collect the rents and income of the property until the

�24

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.

mortgage debt is satisfied. He may take possession peaceably without process of law or may obtain possession through an ejectment
suit. This method of foreclosure, however, as an independent
remedy is not to be recommended, since the position of a mortgagee
in possession is one of the least enviable that can be conceived.
He is held strictly to account for hi s acts and doings, and the
accounting is a difficult and precarious matter. An ejectment may
be a good remedy to bring a negligent mortgagor to terms, or it
may be useful as an adjunct to a foreclosure suit.
" ( 4.) A strict for eclosure is a proceeding in equity to foreclose without the formalities of a public sale. The theory is that
the mortgagee has the legal title and that in order to confirm his
title he merely needs a decree cutting off the right of the mortgagor to redeem. This is done in an ordinary foreclosure suit by
public sale, but if the mortgagor is insolvent and the mortgaged
premises are worth less than the indebtedness the creditor may file
a bill for strict foreclosure and obtain a decree cutting off the
equity of redemption and making his own title absolute. He must,
however, both allege and prove the insolvency of the mortgagor and
the inadequacy of the security, and he is moreover obliged to take
the property in full satisfaction of the debt. This remedy may
sometimes be adopted to advantage, but is not very often resorted
to.
"(5.) There remains the ordinary foreclosure in equity, involving a public sale with a right reserved to the mortgagor to
redeem within a twelvemonth thereafter and a further right reserved to judgment creditors to redeem within three months after
the expiration of the first year.
"4. Preliminary ·Considerations. When you have decided that
a foreclosure is necessary, it is often advisable to file a short bill
at once and an amended bill later. This is expedient only when
some defensive tactics may be anticipated. If the mortgagors have
abandoned hope of saving their property you can make all your
preparations and file a complete bill in the first instance, but when
the mortgagor is playing for time or endeavoring to put the creditor off and take any advantage that he can, it behooves you to be
cautious in your dealings with him. If a foreclosure has been
threatened and subsequent negotiations have taken place, you are
very apt to be confronted with evidence of promises and representations that you never dreamed of making. A mortgagor always
lives in hope of better times and thinks that he will be able to ·save
or sell his property if allowed sufficient grace. His hopes are almost
always illusory, and it is seldom that any indulgence extended to
him will afford him any permanent relief from his embarrassments.

�THE LAW

When you finally decide to foreclose, however. he is pretty sure to
nurse a grievance, and if he has the advice of ~ome sharp practitioner at the bar you will need to be cautious. If he is allowed to
talk at all with you or your client, he is apt to maintain afterwards
that a binding agreement has been made to extend the loan, or in
case only an instalment of interest is due and not the principal,
he may assert that he has tendered the interest. When you decide
to foreclose, be sure that your client has made no pledges, and
then proceed at once.
"I was once defeated in a case which illustrates the impossibility of guarding against such testimony. The principal indebtedness had been declared due by reason of default in payment
of an interest note. The mortgagor was informed that it had been
declared due. He came to the trustee, at whose office the debt
was payable, and expressed his hope of paying off the indebtedness.
Finally he came in and said he wanted to pay the interest note. He
was informed that he could do so, but that the principal would
still remain due and must itself be paid. He did thereupon pay
the interest note to the trustee, who cancelled the note and in his
presence wrote on it a statement that payment was accepted without
waiving the maturity of the principal, and the note with this annotation was then and there delivered to him. Upon his refusal to pay
the principal an ejectment suit was brought. He testified in substance that he supposed the forfeiture was waived and the principal note reinstated according to its original terms. The court
refused to admit in evidence the memorandum on the note because
it did not appear that he had assented to it. The jury found a
verdict for the defendant, as they always will in such cases, and
the Supreme Court held that the question of waiver was one of
fact upon which the verdict was final.
"While I am on this subject I may remark that perjury is of
two kinds. On rare occasions an interested witness will deliberately invent a story without any foundation whatever and tell it
on the witness stand. Such instances occur, but they are infrequent. The other kind of perjury occurs when a witness who is
greatly interested in establishing a point dwells upon it until he
succeeds in half convincing himself that what he wishes to be true
is true. He distorts and perverts the truth and knows at the bottom of his heart that he is not telling the truth at all, but he
manages to justify himself to his own conscience in various degrees.
This kind of perjury happens every day and is the chief cause of
conflicts in testimony.
"I remember one case in my own foreclosure practice of perjured testimony deliberately invented. I was foreclosing a trust

�:26

deed for a large amount. The mortgagor, after executing the trust
deed, had sold the equity to a speculator named Brown, who was
trying to collect the rents as long as possible without paying any
interest. Finally the holder of the principal indebtedness declared
it due by reason of default in the payment of interest as the note
and trust deed provided he might. A foreclosure suit was commenced and the case was referred to a master in chancery, whereupon Brown appeared as a witness in his own behalf and told the
following story: He testified that before the foreclosure suit was
started the creditor had sent to his office an agent, whom I will
call Harry Wilson, to demand payment of a balance of $1,050 remaining due on the interest note. Wilson produced the note and
presented it to him for payment, whereupon he opened a drawer
and took out $1,050 which he happened to have on hand as the
proceeds of a loan paid that day at his office. This cash he held
out to Wilson, who refused to take it on the ground that there
was some insurance premium that ought to be paid besides. Brown
testified that this interview took place in the presence of another
man named Higginson, who was also produced as a witness and
corroborated Brown's story. The hearing before the master was
postponed for a considerable period, during which, by one of those
strokes of luck which seem almost providential, it was finally discovered that Harry Wilson, the man to whom the tender was said
to have been made, was an old acquaintance of Higginson and that
they had in previous years belonged to the same club. The matter
was set down for further hearing before the master in chancery
and Higginson was recalled to the stand for further cross-examination. He sat facing me with his back to the door. He repeated his
story of the alleged tender of the cash to Harry Wilson, and was
asked whether he had ever seen Wilson before. He replied that he
never had to his knowledge. At that moment Wilson walked into
the master's office behind Higginson and came up and stood beside
him. Higginson looked up and said: 'Hello, Harry!' The subsequent details need not be followed, but both Higginson and
Brown were indicted for perjury and Brown was sent to the penitentiary. Higginson was allowed to go after making a full confession. The story of the tender was made up out of whole cloth,
and in order to show how Brown came to have so much cash on
hand a spurious note was drawn up, due by its terms on the day
when the tender was said to have been made, and the whole comedy of the tender was rehearsed twice in Brown's office.
"These personal reminiscences may seem like a digression, but
since I am on the subject of tenders, I will add that real tenders are
rare. Spurious tenders are pretty common and you need to be on

your guard against them. A question of tender usually arises when
there is some dispute between the parties about the amount due.
The mortgage debtor may owe $2,500 which he cannot pay, while
the creditor may claim that he owes a further sum of $100 for expenses incurred under the mortgage. The debtor, while he cannot
pay either $2,500 or $2,600, may be very anxious to make it appear
that he offered to pay the smaller sum. Theoretically a tender has
to be made in cash and without conditions, but this theory is complicated by the doctrine that the actual cash need not be produced
when the creditor has already stated or shown by his conduct that
the money would not be accepted. When a mortgagor does, however, undertake to make a tender he seldom does it unconditionally
as the law requires. Nine tenders out of ten have strings to them.
I remember a man coming to my office with his lawyer and saying
he was ready to pay some mortgage notes which I held for collection. He claimed there was $1,500 due, and I claimed there was
about $50 more, but I was not prepared to refuse the smaller sum
if it was tendered to me. He took his cash and counting it out
asked me if I had the note. I said I had. He then held the money
out to me and said: 'I hereby tender you this $1,500.' 'All right,'
I said, and reached out my hand for it, whereupon he drew it back
in great haste. He wanted to know whether it was accepted in full
and wanted various other assurances. I told him a tender must be
unconditional, and that when a tender was made I would decide
whether to accept it or not. He again held it out to me and I
again attempted unsuccessfully to take it. This happened several
times, until his lawyer concluded that th ey were not ready to make
a tender after all.
"In one instance within my knowledge the party making the
tender did not come off so well. A ten thousand dollar loan fell
due at the office of a trustee, who claimed some small additional
sums on account of expense incurred by him under the trust deed.
The mortgagor secured a lawyer, who went with him to the trustee's office and told the trustee he was going to tender the amount
they admitted to be due. The trustee called his attention to the
fact that the debt was payable in gold coin and advised them, if
they intended to make a tender, to be sure they made a legal one.
The lawyer intimated that he thought he knew what a tender was.
He went out with his client and after about an hour came back
with some bags of gold from which the ten thousand dollars was
duly counted down on the counter. 'There is your ten thousand
dollars,' said the lawyer. 'All right,' said the trustee, and opening
a drawer under the counter swept the gold in and closed and locked
the drawer, asking whether he should cancel the notes. The attor-

UNIVERSITY.

ney looked on these proceedings with dismay and after a short interval threw up his hands and said to the trustee, who in fact was
a personal acquaintance of his: 'Good God, Jim, don't do that!
The clerk of the bank from whom I got this gold is outside. The
bank only let us have it on my personal assurance that we would
not want it for more than an hour at most.' The matter was settled by the trustee getting the extra items which he claimed.
"The moral of these digressions, if they had any, would be
that after it is decided to foreclose a mortgage or trust deed you
had better complicate the situation as little as possible.
"5. Declaring the Principal Due. In many cases default is
made in the payment of interest notes before the principal is due,
but mortgages and trust deeds now almost universally provide that
upon default in the payment of interest the principal may be declared due at the option of the creditor. When you ar.e called upon
to collect an interest note, therefore, you must consider whether you
wish to declare the principal due or foreclose merely for the interest. Ordinarily, unless the security is ample, the principal should
be declared due, in which case to avoid any possible question it
is well to have the holder of the principal note sign a paper expressly declaring it due. Foreclosures for the overdue interest alone
have become more common of late, and raise interesting questions
which I have not the time to consider.
"6. Parties. The most important point in foreclosing is to
be sure that you get in all the necessary parties. Carelessriess in
this respect is disastrous. You may have conducted a foreclosure
to an apparently successful conclusion, and when it is all over and
the abstract of title brought down it will be found that some one
who would have a right to redeem from the sale has not been cut
off and that consequently the title is not clear. This may necessitate doing the work all over again at a large expense.
"In theory of law the only proper parties defendant to a foreclosure suit are the mortgagor and those claiming rights un der !..
arising after the mortgage attached to the premises. If, after mortgaging the land, he has conveyed it, the purchaser must of course
be a party, and creditors who have recovered judgment against tht'
owner of the equity after the mortgage lien attached must be made
parties. As a practical proposition you can sometimes clear up
defects antedating the mortgage. This is contrary to theory, because a foreclosure suit is in contemplation of law intended only
to cut off the equity of redemption and liens attaching to it subsequent in date to the mortgage lien. The Courts have often said
that a foreclosure suit cannot be used to litigate adverse titles or
claims antedating the mortgage. Nevertheless, if you do make an

adverse claimant a party, inserting the proper allegations in youi;.
bill, and the adverse claimant either makes default or comes in and'
tries to prove his title, a decree against him may cut off his rights.
He may, if he chooses, come into the suit and plead that he is not
a proper party and so have the suit dismissed as to him, but if he
does not take this course he may be concluded by the decree. An
abstract of title often shows some formal defects by reason of
which certain parties might possibly claim an interest in the land,
although in fact they have no real or substantial interest. Most
lawyers, in foreclosing a mortgage, do not consider it necessary to
examine 1.he title back of the moregage, but a careful practitioner
will examine the entire abstract and note all defects in the title, so
that if his client buys in the property at the sale and becomes the
owner he can be informed just how good a title he has. If you
have examined the abstract you may find some defects which can
practically be cleared up in the way I have indicated, although they
do not fall theoretically within the scope of a foreclosure suit.
Even a tax title may sometimes be quieted in a foreclosure suit.
"It is very often found in foreclosing a trust deed that there is
a junior trust deed securing negotiable notes. It is necessary to
make the trustee under such trust deed and the holders of the notes
secured thereby parties to your foreclosure suit; otherwise they will
still have the right to redeem. You can not always learn who owris
these notes, and a common course is to make the holders parties by
the name 'unknown owners,' as the statute provides may be done.
They cannot be served with summons and are notified of the pendency of the suit by advertisement. This course is not altogether
satisfactory, since parties who are served only by publication and
have no actual notice may come in and upon good cause shown
have the decree set aside long after it has been entered. You
should if possible find out who actually owns the notes, make him
a party by name and subpoena him to produce the notes before the
master. They should be offered in evidence and marked as exhibits in the cause.
"Aside from what the abstract of title shows, it is necessary to
make a careful examination of the premises and ascertain who is in
possession. All persons in actual possession of the premises or any
part thereof must be made parties; otherwise you are in peril of
finding that they have some interest in the land which does not
appear of record. Some old woman occupying a single apartment in
a large building tnay hold an unrecorded deed to the premises and
if you do not make her a party her title will prevail, since actual
possession is as good notice to the world of a man's rights as the
recording of his deed.

"With reference to the settlement of parties, it is important to
observe that all parties having an interest at the time the owners
of the equity of redemption are served with process must be brought
into the suit. You may have your abstract brought down and examined and then file your bill, and yet after the commencement of
the suit the parties appearing from the abstract to own the land
may convey it to some other person. If such conveyance is made
before the apparent owners are served with summons or notified by
publication the title of such purchaser will prevail over the title
obtained in your foreclosure proceeding. As soon as a defendant is served with process he comes under the law of lis pendens
and any conveyance made by him thereafter will be subject to the
decree, but until he is so served with process this rule does not
apply. Consequently it is necessary to start your suit and get service on the owners of the equity before you have your abstract
brought down. In a foreclosure involving a large amount it may
be desirable to have the abstract brought down before commencing
suit and then have it continued after lis pendens is obtained. A
usual method is to obtain from the abstract company what are
called pencil minutes for a continuation of the abstract before the
bill is drawn, and then have the abstract formally continued after
process is served. This is tolerably satisfactory. Another way is
to file a bill against such parties as you think own the equity an d
after serving them have the abstract brought down to cover th e
date of such service. Any new parties disclosed can be added by
amendment.
"7. Expenses. Before drafting the bill it should be ascertained
what expenses, if any, your client has incurred which are secured
by the terms of the trust deed. This is an important consideration. The object of a mortgage or trust deed is to indemnify th e
holder against all expenses. He makes an investment perhaps of
$5,000 at five per cent and he expects to receive that amo·unt net.
He is certainly entitled to do so. It often happens, however, that
in case of foreclosure a large amount of expense is necessary which
he cannot get back. This is obviously unjust. The measure of
his security depends largely upon the terms of the mortgage or
trust deed which he holds. This is a point which the investor does
not usually consider. If a loan is brought to you to foreclose, you
are at the mercy of the parties who drafted the papers. If, however, you represent a mortgage bank and are likely to have many
foreclosures coming from them, you are in a position to suggest or
deteqnine the form of papers to be used. If it falls to your lot
to draft a form of trust deed, you should give special attention to
the provisions securing all expenses that may be incurred by the

�THE LAW

SCHOOL.

31

trustee or legal holder of the notes by reason of their being such.
It often happens that they are made parties to some other litigation
and are obliged to incur court costs and attorney fees to protect
themselves. All of these expenses can be secured by the trust deed
if it is properly drawn, and there should be an ample provision for
solicitor's fees in case of foreclosure, so that if the holder is
obliged to foreclose the fees he pays his lawyer may be made a lien
on the ·property. If he has to bid in the property and take it in
the end, this is not material, but if redemption is made he will only
get back the amount that has been made a lien on the premises.
It is well, also, before filing a bill, to see that the taxes are paid, and
if not, to pay them, so that you can claim a lien for them in the
bill. Expenses secured by the trust deed and incurred prior to the
filing of the bill should be alleged therein, and the bill should also
ask t~ have any expenses incurred during the progress of the suit
included in the accounting. Otherwise it might be necessary to
file a supplemental bill in order to have them allowed.
"8. Drafting the Bill. After all these preliminaries are settled
you are ready to draft the bill. There are printed skeleton forms for
foreclosure bills, but it is safe to avoid them. Little need be said
of the frame of the bill. The notes and trust deed or mortgage
should be fully described and the ownership of the paper clearly
alleged. If the principal has been declared due for default in interest that fact should be stated. The expenses should be set up and
a claim made for solicitor's fees, and the provisions of the trust
deed and notes should be alleged so far as pertinent, although if
copies are attached as exhibits and made part of the bill they will
supply any defects in this particular. Parties should be carefully
named, and a receiver should be prayed for if receivership is desired. The bill need not be verified unless a receiver is asked for.
"9. Insurance. When the bill is drafted and filed, the first thing
to do is to revise the insurance policies if there are any. The matter of insurance is often too much neglected in foreclosure proceedings. The policy very probably may provide that it shall be void
in case foreclosure proceedings are begun. As soon as your bill is
filed your client is in that case without insurance. The policies
should be sent to the insurance agents at once and a note made
upon them accepting notice of the foreclosure proceedings. If
such notice is accepted and the insurance companies do not object.
they will waive their rights to declare the policy void because of
the commencement of the proceedings.
"10 Service of Process-The next step after filing the bill
is to get the defendants into court. Do not leave these matters to
clerks of court and sheriffs. Get blank forms of summons from the

�32

NORTHWESTERN

UNIVERSITY.

clerk and make out the summons yourself, leaving only the signature and seal of court to be affixed. Then you will have it right.
Otherwise you may not. After the summons is given to the sheriff
to serve, with the address of the parties, you can attend to the publication of notice against non-resident defendants if any, but if
there are only a few non-resident defendants it is often cheaper and
always more satisfactory to have them served with a copy of the
bill, as provided by the Chancery Act. If you have no correspondent in the place where the parties live, the sheriff of the county will
transact the business satisfactorily. The statute provides in effect
that service of a copy of the bill upon a non-resident defendant
shall have the same effe::t as personal service of a summons. This
is not strictly true, however, since you can take a personal deficiency
decree against a party who is served with summons but not against
a party served with a copy of the bill in another jurisdiction.
Nothing but personal service will warrant a personal judgment.
Any other construction of the statute would be contrary to the
constitution of the United States.
"11. Possession. As soon as your suit is under way the question of taking possession of the premises should be considered.
Possession is desirable for various reasons. If there is any question
about the sufficiency of the security it is important to seize the
rents of the property as soon as possible, but even if not, possession is of great advantage. In the first place, when you come to
take possession you find out whether there are any occupants claiming an interest in the property whom you have missed. They may
hide until you come to put them out or make them pay rent but at
that time they will show their hands. Then, again, if the owners
of the property are in possession and find they are· going to lose
it, they will not only neglect to repair it, but will sometimes tear
it in pieces for kindling wood or even maliciously destroy it. There
are good mortgagors, but a great many are bad. If you cannot take
possession by agreement there are two ways by which you can get
it; either through a receivership or through an ej ectment suit.
"Whether you can get a receiver may depend largely upon
the terms of your trust deed. If it does not provide for the appointment of a receiver, you will still be entitled to a receiver if you
can show that the mortgagor is insolvent and that the premises are
inadequate security, but both of these facts must combine. Inadequacy and insolvency should be alleged in the sworn bill and the
Court will hear affidavits from both sides on these points. Nowadays, however, the great majority of mortgages and trust deeds
provide that upon filing a bill the Court may or shall appoint a receiver, and this gives the Court power at least to appoint a receiver

�THE LAW

SCHOOL.

33

without any showing of insolvency or insufficient security. The
Appellate Courts have said, indeed, that the judge is bound to appoint a receiver when the mortgage contains such a provision, but
this is not strictly true. The Courts still have some discretion
in the matter, and in fact the different judges in Cook County by
no means agree in their application of the law. Some chancery
judges will appoint a receiver on the ground that the parties have
It is important,
contracted for one, and other judges will not.
therefore, if you want a receiver, to take care that your bill comes
before the right judge. This can be lawfully regulated in Cook
County by choosing between the Circuit and Superior Courts, and
it can be unlawfully regulated in the particular court by seeing that
the bill is filed at the right moment so that it will be assigned in its
regular order to a particular judge. When I say ' unlawfully,' I
do not mean illegally, but in a manner not recognized by law.
"If you cannot get a receiver or think it doubtful policy to apply for one, you can bring an ejectment suit concurrently with the
foreclosure suit. The mortgagee may pursue at the same time his
various remedies by suing at law on the indebtedness and prosecuting an ejectment suit for possession and foreclosing in chancery. An
ejectment suit on a mortgage or trust deed can in this county be
placed on the short cause calendar and theoretically at least a
speedy trial can be had. Ejectment suits of this character were
almost unknown or at least very seldom prosecuted in this county
until within the last few years and most of the judges on the bench
were formerly surprised when a case of this kind was brought
before them. The remedy in the minds of some judges savors of
oppression, and the Courts were formerly averse to allowing it. I
placed one ejectment suit on the short cause calendar and the judge
declared that he would not hear it until after the foreclosure suit
was decided. I began to prepare a petition for mandamus to compel him to try the suit, but on further investigation I concluded
that as both suits were pending in the Circuit Court though assigned
to different judges, the Court had some discretion about the order
in which they should be heard. I therefore abandoned the proceeding, but determined in future to bring ejectments in the Superior Court when I had a foreclosure suit pending in the Circuit
Court and vice versa. In that case I think a judge could be compelled by mandamus to hear an ejectment suit in its regular order.
As the bar and the bench have become familiar with these ejectment suits the prejudice against them is subsiding, especially as the
Supreme Court has recently in several cases decided explicitly that
such suits can be maintained.
"12. lssite and Reference. After filing the bill and attending

�34

to insurance and possession, the next stage is to get it at issue.
When the summons is returned into court, examine the returns of
the sheriff with great care, as jurisdiction of the parties depends
upon them. Be sure that the returns are all correct, and if not,
have them amended, and if there is any doubt about the legality
of service on any of the defendants sue out an alias summons. If
the parties have been served by publication, examine the notice and
certificates carefully, and then, when you are sure that all the parties
are duly in court and those who appear have answered and replications have been filed, take the proper defaults and have the case
referred to a master in chancery. Such a reference is usually necessary, although if some of the parties have appeared and those
who have appeared are willing to agree upon a decree, the chancellor will usually enter such decree, thus avoiding the expense of a
reference.
"13. Proceedings Before the Master. When the case is before
the master, the proofs must be submitted, including the production
of the original papers and proofs of expenses incurred. If there
are taxes overdue, they should be paid by this stage and proved
up. If the trust deed mentions a stipulated sum for solicitor's fees,
it may still be expedient to give some proof as to what would be a
reasonable fee. Some chancellors are reluctant to allow a solicitor's
fee without such proof, and if the trust deed merely provides for a
reasonable fee, proof must be given by expert lawyers as to what
is reasonable, and what is a usual and customary fee in the case.
When the complainant's proofs . are in and a rule entered on defendants who have appeared to close their proofs and all the evidence is concluded, the master makes his report. If any objections
are filed they must be disposed of by the master. Where there are
such objections the master's report should be filed in court and a
rule obtained on the objecting parties to file their exceptions, which
are usually a repetition of the objections filed before the master,
but in order to be heard, exceptions must be filed in court as well
as objections before the master. The exceptions will be argued
before the Court, and when they are all disposed of you are ready
to draft the decree. Usually the master is asked to approve the decree in default cases, and when so approved the Court will in most
cases enter it without examination.
"14. The Decree. The drafting of a decree is perhaps the
most important part of a foreclosure suit. There are forms to be had
of the clerks of the court, which may be used as suggestions, but
should not be followed without great caution. To show the importance of a decree, a few words are necessary in regard to its
effect. A party in whose favor a decree is entered is bound to pre-

�THE LAW

SCHOOL.

35

serve the evidence on which it is based. This may be in the form
of a master's report but if a decree in chancery is entered for the
-payment of a sum of money or for other affirmative relief, and the
record does not show the evidence on which it is based, the party
against whom it is rendered can have it reversed. Under the decisions in this State, however, the evidence may be preserved in the
decree itself and the recitals in the decree are sufficient evidence
of the matters therein stated. It is of the utmost importance, therefore, to recite in the decree itself all the facts necessary to support
it. The findings of the Court should be full and circumstantial.
It is a careless way with many lawyers simply to rely on the
master's report and to find that so much money is due, but the files
of the court are often mislaid, occa·sionally stolen, and sometimes
destroyed. The record books, however, in which decrees are entered are very unlikely to be destroyed or lost unless the court
house is burned or swallowed up by an earthquake. The decree
should be so drawn that if every other document connected with the
suit was lost the title depending on that decree would be good. The
findings of the decree may, moreover, remedy defects in the proceeding itself. The decree should particularly find that the court
has jurisdiction of all the parties to the suit. This finding will prevail in a collateral proceeding even if untrue. The sheriff may, in
fact, have served the wrong party or his return may be bad. The
court may not, in fact, have jurisdiction of one of the defendants
at all, for some reason which has escaped notice. Yet, if the decree finds that the court has jurisdiction of that person and a title
is acquired by a stranger to the suit on the faith of the decree, the
recital can never thereafter be contradicted. A purchaser who buys
property relying, or being entitled to rely, on the jurisdictional
recitals of a decree will be protected thereby. Here comes in the
important distinction between direct and collateral attack. If the
decree finds that a defendant has been served with process when he
has not, he may come in and appeal from the decree or sue out a
writ of error. This is a direct attack upon the decree, and if he successfully contradicts the finding of the court that he was served
with process he may have the decree reversed. Even then, however,
if there has been a sale under the decree before proceedings were
taken to recover it, and a person not a party to the suit has bought
the property, the purchaser's title will be perfectly good in spite of
the reversal cf the decree upon which it is based. He was entitled to
rely on the terms of the decree, and any attack upon it is as to I-iim
collateral. This distinction is of the utmost importance in real estate matters. If your decree contains particular findings, any future
purchaser is protected by it, no matter how erroneous those findings
are.

�36

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.

"In view of the importance of the decree the greatest care
should be exercised in drawing it. This is the time to review the
entire proceeding and check 'Up all the descriptions and other details to see if any error has crept in unawares. I know of some
careful practitioners who have decrees drafted by a lawyer who up
to that time knows nothing of the proceedings. They think that
errors may escape the most careful scrutiny, and that when a man
has once overlooked a point, his mind moves in the same groove
and he will overlook the same point again. Hence they deem it
necessary to invoke the services of a fresh mind in drafting the
decree, and in reviewing the whole proceedings at this stage.
"15. The Sale. When the decree is entered it may be advisable to have the abstract of title brought down to show the entire
foreclosure proceeding. This depends upon the amount involved,
as it may not be desirable to pay for a continuation of the abstract
if the amount is small. The decree directs a sale of the property,
usually by a master in chancery, who will attend to advertising the
property, but you should examine the advertisement yourself and
see that it is right. The master will also furnish you with a statement of the exact amount that is necessary to bid at a sale in order
to satisfy the decree, including his own charges and the costs. This
should also be checked up, as the master is liable to make mistakes.
Your client should decide in apt time how much he will bid at the
sale. This depends upon a variety of considerations. In practice
there are seldom any bidders except the complainant in the foreclosure suit. He will rarely bid more than the amount required to
satisfy the decree. If he does bid more, he will be bound to pay
the surplus in cash and it will be turned over to the mortgagor.
Theorefically he should bid the value of the property; practically
he never bids more than is necessary to protect himself. While,
however, he will not bid more than the amount of the master's statement, it is often advisable to bid less. If the property is vacant,
the full amount should be bid, unless the security is inadequate; in
which case the bid should be measured by the value of the land.
The insolvency of the mortgagor, who is personally responsible for
the indebtedness, is also an important consideration. He is generally insolvent; but, if not and the amount bid at the sale is less than
the amount necessary to satisfy the decree, you can take a personal
judgment against him for the balance, provided he has been personally served wi-t h process. Again, it may be desirable for you to keep
possession of the premises after the sale. This you cannot do unless there is a deficiency, but if there is a substantial deficiency you
can keep possession, or take possession for the first time, through
a receivership. Having decided how much to bid, you should attend the sale and be ready to bid off the property.

"After the sale the first thing to attend to is the insurance, which
is frequently neglected at this stage as at others. The insurance
policy, if in proper form, insures the mortgagor, with a clause making the loss payable to the mortgagee according to his interest.
The common method after a foreclosure sale is to take the policy
to the insurance agent and have him insert a clause recognizing the
sale of the premises. The popular idea that this sufficiently protects
the mortgagee who has bid in the property is a mistake due to a
misapprehension of the effect of foreclosure sales.
"The importance of understanding the exact effect of a foreclosure sale is such that I will say a few words about it, and then
apply my remarks to the case of an insurance policy. If a stranger
appears at the sale and bids in the prope:ty for less than the
amount of the indebtedness, it is recognized that the mortgagee who
is foreclosing has a personal claim against the mortgagor for the
deficiency, and that the purchaser has an independent interest under
his purchase. The fact that these interests are equally independent
when the mortgagee himself becomes the purchaser is not generally
recognized by beginners. The effect of the foreclosure sale is to exhaust the lien of the trust deed or mortgage and to extinguish completely the estate of the trustee or mortgagee. The mortgage or
trust deed is fimctus officio, and the lien which the mortgagee had
under the trust deed is transformed into a statutory lien independent of the mortgage. This is to some extent recognized when a
stranger purchases the property, but it is just as true when the mortgagee does so. After purchasing at the sale he ceases to be a mortgagee at all. All he holds is a lien on the property for a specific
amount, the nature and effect of which are determined entirely by
the statute, which gives the parties in interest a certain time to redeem from the sale and provides that, if they do not so redeem, a
deed shall issue conveying the absolute title to the holder of the
certificate of purchase. Where the mortgagee becomes the purchaser and also takes a deficiency decree against the mortgagor, it is
important to bear in mind his dual character.
"To apply this distinction to insurance policies, which have usually been paid for by the mortgagor, it should be borne in mind that
the mortgagor has not contracted to pay for insurance upon the
interest of purchasers at foreclosure sale. When he paid the premiums he doubtless authorized the insertion in the policy of a clause
protecting the mortgagee in case of loss, but if after sale you take
the policy to an insurance agent and have it changed so as to protect the purchaser, or the mortgagee in his new capacity as purchaser, you are perverting the policy to a use for which the mortgagor did not pay. The mortgagor who has paid for a policy owns

�38

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY.

it subject to the rights of the mortgagee, and if after a foreclosure
sale there should be a loss he would have the right to insist that
the insurance money be paid to him and not to the purchaser whom
he never agreed to indemnify. The only safe way to protect the
interest of your client who has purchased the property is to take out
new insurance covering his interest or else get the mortgagor's authority to change the old policy.
"After the sale the master will issue a certificate and send you a
report of sale and distribution of the proceeds. Then the master's
fees are to be settled and various expenses paid, and as you have to
call upon your client for these items, it is a very opportune time to
collect your own fees, if you have not done so before. The master's
report should be taken into court and confirmed, and the order of
confirmation will cure all minor irregularities in the sale.
"You should then make a note in your diary of the date fifteen
months after the sale when the period of redemption expires, so
that the deed will not be overlooked. If the property is vacant your
client might suppose he was the owner of it and might forget to
take out a deed, and if he did forget for five years after the expiration of the period allowed for redemption the consequences
would be disastrous. The foreclosure sale exhausted his mortgage
lien entirely and substituted for it a statutory lien, which expires at
the end of five years unless a deed is taken out, so that if he neglected to take out the deed for this period he would have absolutely no
interest in the land and no security whatever. The consequences
of neglect to take out a deed are forcibly illustrated by the remarkable and instructive case of Lightcap vs. Bradley, recently decided
by the Supreme Court.
"16. Redemption Period. After the foreclosure sale a receiver
can be secured if there was a deficiency, even though no receiver had
been applied for before. The fact that the land failed at the sale to
bring the full amount of the decree is accepted by the Court as
conclusive evidence that the security is inadequate, notwithstanding
the fact that it is really no evidence at all. The only way in which
possession can be retained during the redemption period is through
a receivership. If you are in possession under an ejectment suit, it
is highly advisable to get out as soon as a foreclosure sale has taken
place. The right to collect the rents under the terms of the trust
deed ceased when that instrument was exhausted by the foreclosure
sale, and it is only through the general equitable powers of the
court that the rents can be collected during the redemption period.
If they should be collected without a receivership, it is probable
that the mortgagor could compel the party collecting them to refund.
The purchaser must protect himself during the redemption period

�THE LAW SCHOOL.

39·

against tax sales. A receiver cannot pay the taxes after foreclosure
sale and have them allowed in his accounts. The purchaser must
pay his own taxes, but he should file the tax receipts with the master
who made the sale. If he does so file them, the statute provides that
in case of redemption the amount so paid by him shall be refunded.
"17. When the period of redemption has expired the deed should
be taken out and recorded, and if your client is ready to pay the expense, the abstract may be brought down to show the foreclosure·
proceedings and the record of the master's deed. You will then be
in a position to furnish him with an opinion of title; and if you find
that you can turn over the abstract to him with an opinion showing·
that he has a title in fee simple, clear of incumbrances, you will
have discharged your entire duty and may consider yourself a for-tunate man,-especially if your fees have been paid."
