entitled "The Cor
poration as an Instrument of Economic
Power." Mr. Berle developed the idea
that the corporation was more than just
a legal entity, but rather had a "tenac
ity" that derived from the increasing
necessity of the corporation itself. The
corporations have become concentrated
to the point where a large degree of
power and control are in the hands of
these
large organizations. With the in

conditions, the habits of our people, the

and plays a big part in maintaining the
level of our economy.
In his second talk Mr. Berle discussed
Corporation and Individual J us
tice." He pointed out that the need for
a control of this power is beginning to
be recognized by both the state legisla
tures and the corporations themselves.
He analogized this need for control to
the olden days where the king had a per
son
called "the Keeper of the King's
Conscience" to whom the people could
appeal decisions made by the king. In
order for the king to maintain his
power, he recognized the need for, giv

for in order for it to maintain its power,
there must be some control.
"The Corporation in Foreign Affairs"
together with the "Epilogue; The Cor

the topics of the third talk. The vast
influence of the corporation in foreign
affairs and the great power it has
in controlling the destinies of the world
were discussed.
The corporation can be
used as ·the tool to guide us to our goal
of a better world. It is the instrument
of capitalism, which is the material
means we have chosen in our struggle to
make our civilization better. But, as St.
Augustine wrote in The City of God,

THE LIBRARY
By WILLIAM R. ROALFE
For the
Law Librarian
As it has been some time since this
column has been used to report on the
administration of the John Henry Wig
Library Fund, consisting of con
tributions of alumni members, in the
purchase of books for the Library, the
following brief account should be of in':

Since the academic year 1947-48, when
funds first became available,
15,208
books have been purchased for the Li
brary through the expenditure of $88,
557. The books thus acquired represent
practically every field in which the Li
brary has an interest. They have come
from many countries and represent a
number of foreign languages as well as
English,

objectives
fo� which the fund was
created, namely, to develop a more ade
quate basic collection and to insure its
proper maintenance. The fund has be
matter of the utmost importance,
because the income from the Elbert H.
come a
Gary Endowment has proved to be in
adequate to maintain the collection in
the face of the substantial increase in
the cost of books during the last few
years.
The value of the contribution that the
Wigmore Fund has made to the Library
is a matter of daily experience for the
library staff, because these books have
strengthened almost every segment of
the collection and many of them
are
in
daily use. Perhaps some comparative
figures will help to emphasize the sig
nificance
of
this
contribution.
Since
September 1947, 32,150 books have been
added to the collection through gifts and
purchases with all funds. Of these,
15,208 books, or nearly one-half of the
total, have been acquired with the Wig
Fund.
These figures, of 'course, provide only
more
quantitative measure. More impor
tant is the fact that the Wigmore Fund
has represented the difference between

new courses will make their

the academic year 1954-55, and one
regular course will undergo certain
changes in subject matter and proced

ures.
One of the
new
courses
will be Pro
fessional Responsibility, taught by Mr.
Trumbull and other faculty members,
and required of all students during their
last year. The course will stress essen
tial and distinctive characteristics of the
legal profession: the concept of service,
the lawyer as an officer of the court,
the organization of the bar, and the de
velopment of educational and ethical
standards. Also emphasized will be the
legal profession as a self-governing pro
fession and its disciplinary machinery,
as well as the role of lawyers in the evo
lution of American institutions and or
ganization
in the community of nations.
Discussions will be held with members
of the bar regarding the application of
professional ideals and objectives to
practical problems which arise in the
of individual and collective activ
ities of lawyers.

economic, and social developments, with
a view toward an
inquiry into the func

judgment regarding the appropriate
uses of law and its
possible future ten
dencies.
The second-year course in legal writ
to be known as Appellate Advocacy,
will be taught, as this year, by Mr. Pe
ing,
drick and the teaching associates. Fol
lowing the new procedure inaugurated
this year, the course will consist of su
pervised brief writing and oral argu
ment on cases raising legal issues of cur
rent interest. The objective of the course
is to provide brief writing experience
comparable to the writing experience
available to those students who write for
and edit the various legal publications.
Individual instruction is given by the
teaching associates to the end that ac
ceptable brief writing is achieved. Oral
arguments
on
the
cases
are
then held.
Consideration has been given to the
possibility of participation, by outstand
ing students in this
course, in the New
York Bar Association's' National Moot
Court Competition, which holds regional
and final arguments.
The course will be required of all stu
dents who do not complete a specified
amount of writing for the Law Review.

The Northwestern Law Reporter
Description
An account of the resource
The Reporter (1949-1981) began in 1949 as an eight-page newsletter created to inform alumni, friends, and colleagues of the achievements and events of Northwestern University School of Law and its community of students, faculty, and alumni. The Reporter was originally a student publication, and its founding editors were members of what was then called the Junior Bar Association (now known as the Student Bar Association). In 1981, it was succeeded by the Northwestern Reporter (1981-1997), and grew into a substantial magazine. Together the two publications ran for nearly a half century, chronicling everything from the Law School’s sponsorship of the first-ever conference of law reviews in 1949 to a 1996 program commemorating the efforts of Law School faculty and students in overturning the wrongful death penalty conviction of Rolando Cruz. In 2012, the magazine made a comeback with a new name, Northwestern Law Reporter (2012- ) and is currently in production.

Placement Service Asks
Annual Giving Fund
Drives Toward Goal
Alumni Aid in Securing
Positions for Graduates
A
faculty committee, under the chair
manship of Professor Inbau, has been
serving as a "placement bureau" for the
past several years. The principal func
tion of this committee is to assist mem
bers of each graduating class in secur
ing- the type of employment they wish to
pursue upon their graduation. It con
tinues its efforts, where necessary, to
assist recent graduates in getting lo
cated, and the assistance of the commit
tee and the office facilities are also avail
able to any graduate desiring to change
from one position to another.
Placement application forms are dis
tributed to all members of the gradu
ating class. When filled out, these forms
contain all the essential data and in
formation in which a prospective em
ployer may be interested. They also in
dicate the student's preference as to
type of employment and desired location.
As a letter or telephone call is received
from an interested lawyer, law firm, cor
poration, or governmental agency, the
usual procedure is to refer the position
to the students or graduates possessing
the specified qualifications. In many in
stances, however, the prospective em
ployer or one of his representatives will
come to the Law School for an examina
tion of the placement file; facilities are
provided for
oral
interviews
with
the
students whose placement application
forms have aroused special interest.
For further assistance to students and
interested graduates the Law School
maintains a card file and other written
data regarding employment situations
generally. In this respect the listing of
alumni by states and cities is of consid
erable value to anyone desiring a situa
tion outside the Chicago area. Letters

Regardless of the efforts of the Law

JANUARY, 1954
As the result of the two mailings to
the alumni in August and October and
the establishment of committees for the
classes to call upon individual
alumni, the Annual Giving Program is
now well under way. Don McLucas '35,
Chairman of the Alumni Committee in
charge of the program, reports that as
of December 15, 238 alumni had con
tributed or signed cards indicating that
they would participate in the program.
The total amount received in cash con
tributions is now well over $5,000. The
various
amount which the Law School
can
expect
receive annually on the basis of the
participation thus far is $8,188.
Mr. McLucas hopes that these figures
can at least be doubled within the next
few months. The goal set last spring was
$25,000 as an annual total.
An interesting feature of the cam
paign is the large number of contributors
in the two most recent classes. There are
41 contributors from the Class of 1952
and 32 from the Class of 1953. If the
earlier classes were as well represented
in proportion to their number, there
would now be more than 1,000 alumni
to
participating.

Most of our first-year

the use of the records of cases, the study

At the same time the broader aspects
of law study have not been neglected.

additional work is available for those
with special interest in this field. -The

Colonel Millar, Professor Emeritus at
Northwestern Law School, introduced our
speaker with a sincere and warm feeling'
for his friend of many years. Professor
Lawson received his education at Oxford
and continued his studies in Germany.
He is a very distinguished scholar in
Comparative Law and allied subjects.
One of his fields of endeavor includes the
literature of law, and he has published
many articles and books dealing with
legal history and comparative law.
There are two major considerations for
the comparative lawyer to take account
of when he attempts his work. Of course,
a basic knowledge of languages, such as
French and German, is almost essential.
First he should make sure that the whole
field of comparison is covered when a
particular topic is decided upon. This is
important because of the many side
issues that become involved and are neces
sary for a clear understanding of the
whole picture. Secondly, the comparative
lawyer must take into account the social
and political habits which form the back
ground of law. They are necessary to
know in order to be able to understand
the reasons behind the law itself.
According to Professor Lawson, once
you are able to master these difficulties
and can do constructive work in compara
tive law, you thus may be able to better
understand your own law.

The Northwestern Law Reporter
Description
An account of the resource
The Reporter (1949-1981) began in 1949 as an eight-page newsletter created to inform alumni, friends, and colleagues of the achievements and events of Northwestern University School of Law and its community of students, faculty, and alumni. The Reporter was originally a student publication, and its founding editors were members of what was then called the Junior Bar Association (now known as the Student Bar Association). In 1981, it was succeeded by the Northwestern Reporter (1981-1997), and grew into a substantial magazine. Together the two publications ran for nearly a half century, chronicling everything from the Law School’s sponsorship of the first-ever conference of law reviews in 1949 to a 1996 program commemorating the efforts of Law School faculty and students in overturning the wrongful death penalty conviction of Rolando Cruz. In 2012, the magazine made a comeback with a new name, Northwestern Law Reporter (2012- ) and is currently in production.

One of the largest crowds ever to as

heard Justice Robert H. Jackson of the
United States Supreme Court discuss
the Nuremberg trials and their influence
on the legal aspects of war crimes.
Presiding in an atmosphere of vindic
tiveness at Nuremberg, the Justice point
ed out that the judges had four alterna
tives at their disposal: to let those ac
cused go free; to execute or exile them;
phony trial; or to provide
fair hearing. In choosing
the last alternative, Jackson expressed
the view that the Nuremberg judges

made their
greatest contribution to the
trial of war crimes and made that partic
ular trial an advancement over all pre
vious trials of this nature.
Faced with obvious procedural difficul
ties, the four judges representing the
United States, England, France and Rus
sia, convened in London prior to the
commencement of the trials. Reconciling
these difficulties meant creating a hybrid
procedural fabric out of Anglo-American,
French, and Russian law. Mr. Justice
Jackson cited the compromise necessary
to make the Russian form of indictment

Law School Yearbook
May, 1953,
marks a milestone in the
Iso f Northwestern University
School of Law. For the first time in its
history a school annual, the "Wigmore,"
has been published. The name "Wigmor'e"
was selected by a vote of the seniors in
honor of the former law school dean, the
late John Henry Wigmore.
The "lVigmore" contains 72 pages fea
turing hundreds of pictures. The hard
cover book is
divided into four major
sections. The first has pictures and brief
biographies of faculty members. Next
is a section devoted to individual pictures
of the one hundred and three 1953 grad
uates. Running through these pages is a
class history recording the events, seri
ous and humorous, which have marked
the law school careers of the graduating
seniors. The third section is devoted to
pictures and articles about the law
school organizations, including the fra
ternities, the Junior Bar Association, and
the Law Review. The final portion of the
"Wigmore" depicts student life through
the media of many candid photographs.
The book will also contain six pages of
advertisements.

The Annual Giving Program is de
signed to meet the Law School's prob
lem resulting from inflation and the ne
cessity of keeping pace with other law
schoois, many ot which are state univer
sity schools supported from public funds.
No law school in the country which is
part of a university operating on income
from endowment and tuitions has been
able to increase amounts for faculty
salaries in a degree at all comparable to
the rise in living costs except with the
support of loyal alumni. Some schools,
however, have received very substantial
support from this source.
The officers of the Alumni Association
have expressed their confidence in the
willingness of Northwestern law alumni
to come to the support of the School in
this difficult period. They have therefore
undertaken initially to obtain $25,000 an
nually from the alumni body to be used
to support the current operations of the
Law School. This will be in addition to
the maximum which the University is
able to appropriate for this purpose to
cover a very large annual deficit.
Already on the basis of a request by
officers and others prior to the organi
zed effort, several thousand dollars has
been contributed and cards have been ob
tained indicating intentions to make an
nual contributions aggregating about
$4,000. Following is a list of those parti
cipating in this program as of May 1,

Sound Judicial System
"The Essentials of a Sound Judicial
System" was the subject of the Julius
Rosenthal Foundation Lecture given by
Chief Justice Arthur T. Vanderbilt of the
New Jersey Supreme Court. Justice Van
derbilt was the former Dean of the New
York University School of Law. He has
written several books and was chairman
of the Advisory Committee appointed by
the U.S. Supreme Court to draft the
rules of criminal procedure for the feder
al courts.
In his address. Justice Vanderbilt
stated that a right to a fair trial is a
fundamental right without which other
rights
are
meaningless; everything that
is essential to a fair trial is essential to
a sound
judicial system.
The "essentials" were broken down in
to thirteen points which cover such aven
ues as a
simple system of courts with a
corps of judges independent from poli
tics, competent, experienced, honest, and
with an abiding conviction that the courts
exist for the benefit of the state and the
litigants, and not for the judges or coun
sels.
Other important points include honest,
intelligent jurors

�IN THE LIBRARY
By WILLIAM R. ROALFE
Law Librarian
six years have
elapsed since the reorganization of the
Library was commenced in 1946, after
the close of World War II, a general re
port on what has been accomplished to
date may be of interest. However, it
may be well, first, to call attention to the
considerations that made such a reor
ganization imperative. The most impor
tant of these was the substantial growth
of the collection over the years, without
a corresponding increase in the size of
the staff, and the great increase in the

cope with the arrearages in work, inclu
ding a complete reclassification and re
cataloging of the collection, and to meet
the greatly increased demands for serv
ice by students, faculty members and

crease
others.
The addition of a substantial amount
of shelving has also been necessary to ac
commodate the growing collection. This
has included the very limited installation
that was possible in the reading room and
the a.ldition of a considerable amount of
shelving in the basement to accommodate
many valuable but less frequently used
books. Everything has been done to over
come the obstacles presented by the out
grown library quarters in order to make
the best possible use of the space that is
available at the present time.
Since September 1946 the collection
has grown from 126,121 volumes to 155,900 volumes or a gain of 28,779 volumes.
The significance of the Wigmore Fund
is indicated by the fact that 14,429 of
these volumes have been purchased with
this fund. Needless to say, the collection
has been greatly improved both for the
of meeting the instructional
purpose
needs of the Law School and for special
research over a wide range of subject
matter. For the former a considerable
amount of duplication has been neces
sary.
Unfortunately, there are two respects
in which the present situation is not sat
isfactory. In the first place, the greatly
reduced purchasing power of the dollar is
affecting the Law Library as it has most
other enterprises. This is particularly
evident in respect to the book collection
and, accordingly, the current rate of ac
cessions has fallen substantially below
that maintained during the last six years.
In the second place, as has already been
indicated, the present quarters are not
adequate for the greatly expanded pro
gram of service. An enlargement and
rearrangement of the present library
quarters is urgently needed.

The Northwestern Law Reporter
Description
An account of the resource
The Reporter (1949-1981) began in 1949 as an eight-page newsletter created to inform alumni, friends, and colleagues of the achievements and events of Northwestern University School of Law and its community of students, faculty, and alumni. The Reporter was originally a student publication, and its founding editors were members of what was then called the Junior Bar Association (now known as the Student Bar Association). In 1981, it was succeeded by the Northwestern Reporter (1981-1997), and grew into a substantial magazine. Together the two publications ran for nearly a half century, chronicling everything from the Law School’s sponsorship of the first-ever conference of law reviews in 1949 to a 1996 program commemorating the efforts of Law School faculty and students in overturning the wrongful death penalty conviction of Rolando Cruz. In 2012, the magazine made a comeback with a new name, Northwestern Law Reporter (2012- ) and is currently in production.

The Northwestern Law Reporter
Description
An account of the resource
The Reporter (1949-1981) began in 1949 as an eight-page newsletter created to inform alumni, friends, and colleagues of the achievements and events of Northwestern University School of Law and its community of students, faculty, and alumni. The Reporter was originally a student publication, and its founding editors were members of what was then called the Junior Bar Association (now known as the Student Bar Association). In 1981, it was succeeded by the Northwestern Reporter (1981-1997), and grew into a substantial magazine. Together the two publications ran for nearly a half century, chronicling everything from the Law School’s sponsorship of the first-ever conference of law reviews in 1949 to a 1996 program commemorating the efforts of Law School faculty and students in overturning the wrongful death penalty conviction of Rolando Cruz. In 2012, the magazine made a comeback with a new name, Northwestern Law Reporter (2012- ) and is currently in production.

The
Men With
Clerkships
Northwestern Law School was recent
ly honored by the appointment of three
of its graduates to clerkships for the fall
term of the United States Supreme
Court.
Chief Justice Fred M. Vinson
named William W. Oliver and Roland
Whitman, while Justice Sherman Minton
chose William K. Bachelder. The three
men
will begin their assignments this
summer.
Mr.
Oliver graduated from North
in February, 1949. He served
as article editor of the Illinois Law Re
view and was a recipient of the Lowden
Wigmore Prize, annually awarded to the
competitor presenting the most effective
oral argument and written brief on a
chosen case. During the war he served
as an officer
in the Army Air Force.
Since his graduation, Mr. Oliver spent
one summer as a teaching fellow at the
Law School and is presently connected
with the Bureau of Internal Revenue in

changed to Northwestern Univer

of Managers on March 18. This step has
been under consideration for some time,
but in view of the 46 years of publica
tion under the first name, there was con
siderable reluctance to make the change.
The desirability of identifying the Re
view more closely with the Law School
and the fact that it no longer confines
its coverage wholly to Illinois law were
the
considerations which finally pre
vailed.

Clean-up
Citizens of Illinois, as well as those
of the entire nation, are becoming in
creasingly aware of the local crime blis
ter and its threat, if unchecked, to con
taminate continuously public and pri
vate life.
Graduates of Northwestern
Law School can take pride in the part
which many of their fellow alumni have
played in meeting the challenge of the
criminal element in the community, and
in numerous cases, of thrusting it back
wards.
Benjamin W. Heineman '36 was ap
pointed by the governor as a special
deputy attorney general
to
investigate
counterfeit tax stamps being used on
cigarettes sold in Illinois. Recent crack
downs in the Chicago area, conducted
with the aid of State Police, appear to
have put a stop to the counterfeiters'
activities.
This February Mr. Heine
man told a group of students and fac
ulty at a Junior Bar Association meet
ing of these activities and of the pend
ing prosecutions against the counter
feiters.

"I know of no activity (anti-cr-ime work) which is more worthy of the time,

Lawyers are particularly equipped by their
training and education to grasp the scope of the problem and to function ef

One of the most encouraging things in my experience in public office was
the prompt and generous response made by one of the Law School's most dis

Gifts and Bequests
The
tial
University has received substan
bequests from the estates of de
ceased alumni in which the Law School
will benefit. The School is also receiving
a continuing
gift to aid students in pur
chasing textbooks.
From the estate of the late William
Hugh A. Johnson '13 of Evanston, for
mer trust examiner for the Federal Re
serve Bank of Chicago, the Law School
received a general bequest of $75,000.
Known as the Wallace B. and Mary F.
Johnson Fund, in honor of Mr. Johnson's
parents, the bequest is used by the School
for financial assistance to students, for
scholarships. and fellowships, for legal
research and other educational work.
The School also will receive a bequest of
more than $100,000 under the will of the
late Mrs. Wallace B. Johnson of Evan
ston. In accordance with Mrs. Johnson's
will, this sum will be added to the be
quest made by Mrs. Johnson's son. The
enlarged fund will be known as the Wil
liam Hugh A. Johnson Memorial Fund.
Two members of the Class of '01 have
made substantial bequests. The Univer
sity will receive over $100,000 from the
estate of the late James R. Garrett, sub
ject to a life estate in his widow. Mr.
Garrett, a prominent insurance execu
tive in New York City, had a long rec
ord of active support to the University,
contributing regularly to the Alumni
Fund, and serving as both president and
director of the Northwestern University
Club of New York. The Law School re
ceived a general bequest of $1,000 from
the estate of the late Donald S. Trum
bull. A resident of Highland Park, Mr.
Trumbull was for many years a regu
lar contributor to the Alumni Fund and
was also a member of the "Alumni Hun
dred," consisting of alumni who contrib
uted $1,000 to the School during the Cen
tennial campaign.
Mr. Lionel A. Sherwin '13, a practic
ing attorney in Chicago, is furnishing a
fund to enable needy students to pur
chase necessary books. Mr. Sherwin ex
pressed the purpose of the gift as being
"in o-ratitude and thanks to the school

the library's col
lection, a summary of the progress made
to date mav be of interest. Altogether,
13,649 volu;nes have been acquired with
an
expenditure of $78,000, The signifi
cance of .this contribution, stated mere
ly in general terms, can perhaps be best
illustrated by pointing out that these
books would, if arranged together in one
place, occupy considerably more than
one-half the shelf space in the reading
room of the library.
Furthermore, when
the Fund, as it stands today, has been
expended in its entirety, it will be re
flected in books more than sufficient to
occupy all of the shelving in the reading
room.
Considered alone, such an aggre
gation of books is a fairly impressive
collection.
However, this is a purely
quantitative measure, helpful though it
may be in dramatizing the substantial
character of the undertaking. Far more
significant is the fact that the books that
have been acquired have been distributed
throughout the collection and have
strengthened nearly every part of it,
thus filling serious gaps and rounding
out the book resources of the library in
important
many
out
areas.
The
significance of such a contribution
cannot be adequately measured merely
by adding the values represented by
each of the separate books involved. For
research purposes the value of the in
dividual books is greatly enhanced when
they
are
brought conveniently together,
and completeness of the collection in a
specific area of interest may be of the
utmost importance. But in this instance,
the Wigmore Fund books have not only
often achieved this enhanced value for
themselves but, by being incorporated
into the existing imperfect collection,
they have,

Title
A name given to the resource
The Northwestern Law Reporter
Description
An account of the resource
The Reporter (1949-1981) began in 1949 as an eight-page newsletter created to inform alumni, friends, and colleagues of the achievements and events of Northwestern University School of Law and its community of students, faculty, and alumni. The Reporter was originally a student publication, and its founding editors were members of what was then called the Junior Bar Association (now known as the Student Bar Association). In 1981, it was succeeded by the Northwestern Reporter (1981-1997), and grew into a substantial magazine. Together the two publications ran for nearly a half century, chronicling everything from the Law School’s sponsorship of the first-ever conference of law reviews in 1949 to a 1996 program commemorating the efforts of Law School faculty and students in overturning the wrongful death penalty conviction of Rolando Cruz. In 2012, the magazine made a comeback with a new name, Northwestern Law Reporter (2012- ) and is currently in production.

Portrait Unveiled
Unveiling an oil portrait of the late
Homer F. Carey in an impressive cere
mony in Lowden Hall on December 6,
Professor Daniel M. Schuyler eulogized
the beloved professor before family, fac
ulty, students and alumni. "It is alto
gether appropriate," Schuyler said, "that
your portrait should hang in this school
which will ever be indebted to you for
your innumerable contributions."
Dean Havighurst accepted the portrait
on behalf of the school and echoed the
tribute to a man renowned for his in
tellect, imagination and warmth.
Enrollment
Despite
High
Ko:rea
The School has not experienced the
drop in' enrollment expected as a result
of the Korean situation and general
mobilization. This is primarily due to
the deferments available for students
under the Selective Service Act. Even
more surprising was the larger enroll
ment in the freshman class of this year
than the class which began in 1950. A
total of 129 freshman are registered for
the fall term, 36 of whom began in the
special
summer
term.
At
present, there are 352 students
registered in the school, including six
graduate students.

Before Supreme Court
Professor
Nathaniel
Nathanson
re
cently appeared before the United States
Supreme Court in an oral argument of
three cases involving the Illinois Post
Conviction Statute.
Mr. Natharrson was appointed to serve
as
counsel for the petitioners by the
high court and Mr. Calvin P. Sawyier
was
associate counsel in one of the
cases.
These three cases are the first to reach
the Court involving the' Post-Conviction
Act. The United States Supreme Court
granted certiorari in these cases to re
view decisions of the Illinoi� Supreme
Court dismissing petitions for writs of
error.
The Post-Conviction Act was passed
after the decision of the Court in Young
v. Ragen, 337 U.S. 235
(1948) and Ma
rino v. Ragen, 332 U.S. 561 (1947),
which focused attention upon the un
certainty and confusion as to the post
conviction remedies in Illinois.
The judgment below was vacated and
the case remanded to the Illinois Su
in

conformity with the opinion rendered by
Chief Justice Vinson on December 3.

Score Well
on
Bar
The June 1951 graduating class made
a good record on the Illinois bar examin
ation held in July. Of the 29 members
of the class receiving degrees in June
who took the test, 25, or 86%, were suc
cessful. This compares favorably with
the 65% over-all figure for candidates
who took the Illinois examination. Two
other members of the class whose de
grees were postponed because of slight
deficiencies were also successful, and if
these are included, the June class would
have a record of 87% passing.
The total number from Northwestern
taking the examination was 52, of whom
39, or 75%, passed. This total included,
in addition to the 31 members of the
June class, 11 graduates who either had
not taken the examination before or
were
previously unsuccessful, and 10
students who had not received degrees
but were permitted to take the exami

military service for the next examina

Among the alumni activities Mr. Clin
ton deems most important are the works
of the committees on placement, endow
ment and curricula. Alumni association
members are urged to contribute articles
to the Illinois Law Review, prepare cases
for moot court and sit as judges in those
cases.
The Alumni Association holds pe
riodic meetings with the faculty in
which the practicing lawyers make prac
tical suggestions and offer new ideas as
to the content and shaping of the cur
ricula to maintain the law school's high
reputation. Alumni members are also
actively engaged in attracting outstand

has
been made in
reorganizing the Library
as
a
whole and in rounding out the
collection, so far as the more usual needs
are
concerned, it has become possible
to make a beginning in dealing with a
group of books which, either because of
their rarity or because of their associa
tion value, require special consideration.
These books, most of which were ac
quired while Colonel John H. Wigmore
was dean, contain, in addition to a num

umes which are of special value for re
search in medieval law and legal his
tory. This collection is a valuable asset
of the Law School and makes available
in Chicago source materials not usually
believed to be accessible in this area.
In this connection, the most important
step taken during the past year has been
the completion of new quarters for this
collection. Although these quarters are
not ideal from an exhibition standpoint,
because no space suitable for this pur
pose is available in the building, they
are adequate as to size and are fireproof
and dust proof and will protect the
books from dryness and excessive heat.
With this important step achieved the
staff can now move forward more rap
idly with the task of bringing the ap
propriate volumes together as a sep
arate collection where they can receive
the special treatment that they require.
It is hoped that within a reasonable
length of time they can be recataloged,

The Northwestern Law Reporter
Description
An account of the resource
The Reporter (1949-1981) began in 1949 as an eight-page newsletter created to inform alumni, friends, and colleagues of the achievements and events of Northwestern University School of Law and its community of students, faculty, and alumni. The Reporter was originally a student publication, and its founding editors were members of what was then called the Junior Bar Association (now known as the Student Bar Association). In 1981, it was succeeded by the Northwestern Reporter (1981-1997), and grew into a substantial magazine. Together the two publications ran for nearly a half century, chronicling everything from the Law School’s sponsorship of the first-ever conference of law reviews in 1949 to a 1996 program commemorating the efforts of Law School faculty and students in overturning the wrongful death penalty conviction of Rolando Cruz. In 2012, the magazine made a comeback with a new name, Northwestern Law Reporter (2012- ) and is currently in production.

Professor William R. Roalfe spent the

grains and on the manufactured feed
industry. He collaborated with econo
mists, commodity specialists, and indus

the techniques developed by OPA in its
efforts to deal effectively with these same
problems during World War II for the
purpose of determining how that experi
ence should be drawn upon in working

Roalfe served with the national office of
OPA during World War II.
Professor Kurland is spending several

Dean
Of
Urges
New Method
Selecting Judges
Dean Havighurst recently addressed
the. Cook County Bar Association con
cerning the improvement of the judiciary in Illinois and Cook County. H
advocated the abandonment of the pres-.
ent method
of electing judges from
nominees selected by the political parties
and urged that judges be appointed by
the Governor from a panel selected by a
council, and after a period of service the
judge would come before the voters on
the question of whether he should be
continued in office, and at the end of
each term the judge would face a similar
election. The Dean felt this would remedy
the political influences brought to bear
upon candidates for judicial office.
This plan was first proposed by former
Northwestern law professor Albert M.
Kales in 1914 in a book entitled Unpopu
lar Gove1-nment in the United States,
and was recommended by the American
Bar Association in 1937. It has been
adopted in both California and Missouri.

and disadvantages of various phases of
legal work in an attempt to aid a young

which he is best suited. The members
of the forum were: Otto Kerner, Jr. '34,
United States District Attorney for the
northern district of Illinois, who told of
the opportunities in various governmen
tal agencies; Mr. Paul Kessler, member
of a Chicago firm, who set out the merits
of working for a large law firm; Mr.
William Bodman, now a member of a
small firm in Chicago and formerly an
attorney in a small downstate town, who
told of the advantages in a small-town
practice; Mr. Richard Michal '47, recent
graduate of the Law School now in
private practice in Chicago, who told of
the difficulties one may expect to en
counter when starting out on his own,
but he also told of the accompanying
deep sense of self-satisfaction in be
coming a success without the help of a
firm.
The students were highly interested in

to schedule other speakers who may tell
of their experiences in the profession
and benefit the students in choosing their
ultimate field of practice.

The Northwestern Law Reporter
Description
An account of the resource
The Reporter (1949-1981) began in 1949 as an eight-page newsletter created to inform alumni, friends, and colleagues of the achievements and events of Northwestern University School of Law and its community of students, faculty, and alumni. The Reporter was originally a student publication, and its founding editors were members of what was then called the Junior Bar Association (now known as the Student Bar Association). In 1981, it was succeeded by the Northwestern Reporter (1981-1997), and grew into a substantial magazine. Together the two publications ran for nearly a half century, chronicling everything from the Law School’s sponsorship of the first-ever conference of law reviews in 1949 to a 1996 program commemorating the efforts of Law School faculty and students in overturning the wrongful death penalty conviction of Rolando Cruz. In 2012, the magazine made a comeback with a new name, Northwestern Law Reporter (2012- ) and is currently in production.

HOMER
CAREY
1894-1950
The death of Professor Homer F. Carey
July 31, 1950, saddened the entire stu
dent body, faculty, and alumni. Profes
sor Carey had been a member of the Law
School faculty since 1932, and at least
two decades of Northwestern Law stu
dents will remember him as an extremely
able teacher.
Professor Carey was born in South
ington, Connecticut, on April 13, 1894.
He graduated from Wesleyan University
in his native state and also received his
M.A. there. His law studies were inter
rupted by service as an infantry private
in World War 1. Mr. Carey graduated
from the University of Columbia Law
School in 1921.
He then entered the
practice of law in New York, practicing
there until 1928. Professor of law in the
University of Kansas in 1928-29, he was
then appointed to the faculty of the Uni
versity of Michigan where he served
from 1929 to 1932.
on
Colonel Robert W. Millar prepared a
resolution which was adopted by the
faculty of the Law School on September
22 which states in part:
"As a scholar in the law Professor
Carey was versed in many fields, but
closest to
his
heart
was

together with numerous articles in legal

sphere. But he shone more especially by
his devotion to that recondite province,
the law of future interests-a province
which always for the student and more
often than not for the practitioner is one
teeming with complications. His book,

collaboration with his col

No pains were too

the first rank. It is a commonplace that

he makes his students think.

something more: he was able to guide

Peterson
Peterson, Crime
Commission
Speaks
to
Head,
J. B. A.
Corrupt politics and the indifference
of the American voter was the timely
subject of Mr. Virgil W. Peterson's
speech to the members of the Junior Bar
Association on November 9.
A distinguished alumnus of the North
western Law School, Mr. Peterson '30
has held the office of Operating Director
of the Chicago Crime Commission since
1942. Previous to this he was well known
for his work as a special agent with the
F.B.I. in several investigations of na
tional importance. While acting in this
capacity in the Chicago office of the
F.B.I. he worked exclusively en the John
Dillinger investigation. He also headed
several regional offices of the F.B.I.
Recently, Mr. Peterson appeared be
fore the Kefauver Senatorial Committee
in Washington and was able to present
detailed information concerning the na
tion-wide implications of organized crime.
This formed the basis of a considerable
part of the Committee's further investi
gations in various sectors of the country.
In addition to his other accomplish
ments in the field of law enforcement,
Mr. Peterson is an author. His recent
book is Gambling-Should It Be Legal
ized? He spent several years' research
on this subject and related fields.
His
work is considered among the most au
thoritative in this sphere. His articles
have appeared in such magazines as
Atlantic Monthly, Reader's Digest, Ro
tarian, and the Journal of Criminal Law
and Criminology.
In his speech to the J.B.A., Mr. Peter
son gave concrete examples of many busi
nessmen
who give no thought to the
rotten politics in their city until those
corrupt methods have had a direct ef
fect upon them. He cited that indiffer
ence as
our
greatest trouble. He felt
that the public seems to wait for some
one to discover a "magic gadget" that
will be a "cure-all" for the misery
brought about by shady politicians.

Hodes stated that the Law alumni had
already raised $112,000 of the $140,000
quota. He expressed optimism that the
goal would be exceeded.
President Miller commended the hard
working alumni campaigners who have
made such excellent progress. He stated
that the Law alumni are far ahead of
the other schools.
Dean Havighurst expressed his pleasure in seeing the list grow and indicated
his feeling of renewed confidence in the
future of the Law School. The Dean said
that most of the funds raised wil1 go
toward keeping the Library among the
best in the country. He said that it takes
a minimum of $20,000 per year to maintain those high standards. The Gary en
dowments give about $13,000 per year.

Professor Schaefer
Heads Study of
German Treaty
State Government
Professor Brunson MacChesney has
returned from London where he
served as a consultant to Ambassador
Douglas, the United States delegate to a
Three Power Conference on Germany. The
Professor Walter V. Schaefer of the
School of Law has announced as Chair
man of the Commission to Study State
Government of Illinois that the work of
the Commission is near completion and
a report of its study is forthcoming in
December.
The Commission has been charged with
conducting a complete study of the func
tions and operations of the executive
branch of the State of Illinois prior to
proposed reorganization on a more effi
cient and economical basis. This is the
first study of its kind in 37 years.
The nine-man, bipartisan Commission
was created by the last General Assem
bly, on the recommendation of Governor
Adlai E. Stevenson. Known unofficially
as the "Schaefer Commission," the group
has already completed its enormous job
of directing the detailed study of the 79
units in Illinois' executive department.

on
July

August 4 when a recess was called to
permit the delegates to return to their
respective governments for further in
structions.
The
group
reconvened

The Group's purpose was to formulate
principles upon which further relations
with Germany could be established.
Professor MacChesney served as the
Chief United States Representative on
the Economic and Finance Committee,
which dealt with the problem of claims
and debts against Germany and the
German people.

Group reported its findings to the Foreign

The Ministers ordered the Group to re

accomplishments of the Group. Professor
MacChesney has returned to the Law
School and resumed teaching interna

"Our
creased
study is aimed primarily at in
efficiency," Professor Schaefer
stated. "Weare of the opinion that
efficiency must be the first concern in
the proposed reorganization of the execu
tive department."
"True, economy is a definite goal of
the study, but this logically follows as a
natural outgrowth
of efficiency," he
added.
The report of the Commission will be
presented for review to each department,
office, board, or commission which is in
volved in the study. Many of the stream
lining recommendations can be put into
effect through executive action at that
time.
Other important action will depend
upon the vote of the legislature, which
meets in January.
Recommendations included in the "ae-
report" which the Commission plans
submit to the legislature will be
grouped in five basic classifications. These
are: over-all organization and functions
of the executive branch; increased effi
ciency in field activities; "housekeeping
activities" such as auditing, purchasing
and budgeting; improvement of major
and more costly state services; and im
proved intergovernmental relations.
Shortly after the formation of the
"Schaefer Commission," Governor Adlai
E. Stevenson pointed to one of its pri
mary purposes as being to "forestall dis
orderly growth and major expense in
creases."
Members of the "Schaefer Commission"
are Donald S. Funk, Senator John
Parish,
Speaker of the House Paul Powell, Lieu
tenant Governor Sherwood Dixon, Repre
sentatives Nobel W. Lee and James J.
Ryan, Senator Walker Butler, and Com
mission Secretary James S. Knowlson.
Executive Secretary is John F. Lynaugh.
Members of the Commission are as
sisted by research analysts, among whose
members is Daniel S. Walker, recent
graduate of Northwestern, now clerk to
the United States Supreme Court.

the

honorary LL.D. degree at the June 1950
commen"cement
Perhaps the outstanding fact about the
Library is that for the fourth successive
versity, his
the demand for services has in
creased. Thus the demand during the
was
year
but has exceeded that existing even
during the fiscal year 1948-49 when the
facilities of the Library were, as a matter
of fact, taxed to capacity. Undoubtedly
the most important factor contributing
to this result is the increasing emphasis
that the curriculum places upon the use
of the library materials. This involves
not only the generous use of materials
assigned for parallel readings but a sub
stantial amount of "original research"
which, among other things, familiarizes
the student with a wide variety of legal
materials and trains him to find the law
for himself.
The student demand, the
diversified needs of faculty members, and
the requirements of others who use the
Library together testify to the fact that
the Library plays a vital part in the
Law School program.
Fortunately, work on the reorganiza
tion of the Library, commenced in Sep
tember, 1946, has gone forward without
abatement so that there is a constant
improvement in the underlying conditions
upon which an effective library service
rests.
For example, the collection has
been substantially strengthened and has
been rearranged according to a classifica
tion that makes the materials readily ac
cessible. In addition, over 45,000 volumes
have been recatalogued, important equip
added, and the staff has
increased its proficiency both as a result
of further practical experience and by
formal study.
During the last fiscal year 5,767 bound
volumes have been added to the collec
tion, thus bringing the total up to 146,567
volumes. The John Henry Wigmore Fund
has been of substantial assistance in this
development, and thirty-five donors
together given 1,400 books and
pamphlets and unbound periodical
have
821
num
bers during the last year.
The major needs of the Library are
adequate funds for the purchase of books,

In order to promote

and alumni, the Junior Bar Association
has organized two additional committees
of
whose efforts will be directed toward that
end.
The first, the Student-Faculty Rela
tions Committee, has set up a plan to
hold weekly luncheons and other informal
gatherings between members of the
faculty and the student body. Every
week groups of about five students each
will invite one of the faculty to lunch,

The other new permanent committee,
the Alumni Contact Committee, will fur

It
is hoped that this will help establish a

The Northwestern Law Reporter
Description
An account of the resource
The Reporter (1949-1981) began in 1949 as an eight-page newsletter created to inform alumni, friends, and colleagues of the achievements and events of Northwestern University School of Law and its community of students, faculty, and alumni. The Reporter was originally a student publication, and its founding editors were members of what was then called the Junior Bar Association (now known as the Student Bar Association). In 1981, it was succeeded by the Northwestern Reporter (1981-1997), and grew into a substantial magazine. Together the two publications ran for nearly a half century, chronicling everything from the Law School’s sponsorship of the first-ever conference of law reviews in 1949 to a 1996 program commemorating the efforts of Law School faculty and students in overturning the wrongful death penalty conviction of Rolando Cruz. In 2012, the magazine made a comeback with a new name, Northwestern Law Reporter (2012- ) and is currently in production.

Chairman Hodes made

an
encouraging
report, stating that 37 alumni
had already pledged and become members
of the "Centennial 100," including Gov
ernor Stevenson, who pledged
during the
luncheon. Mr. Hodes said that $80,000
of the Law School's goal of $140,000 had
been pledged at the time of the luncheon,
of which $53,000 was raised through the
Wigmore Library Fund.
Praising the Centennial celebration
the perpetuation of the Wigmore
Library Fund, Governor Stevenson ex
pressed his gratitude to the Law School
for being permitted to make "raids" on
the faculty for aid in administration of
and
the state government.
In turn expressing the School's grati
tude for the Governor's remarks, Dean
Havighurst pointed
out the mutual
ad
vantage of public service by members of
the faculty, which strengthens the School
and the members themselves. The Dean
told the group of the needs of maintain
ing the Library, and of enlarging it
to keep it among the best in the nation.
President Miller, relating the growth
University to a student body of
of the

that the professional schools must depend
upon their own alumni to support them

�IN THE LIBRARY
By WILLIAM ROBERT ROALFE
Law Librarian
To date 7,270 volumes have been pur
chased for the Library through the John
Henry Wigmore Library Fund. Of this
total, 5,316 volumes have been acquired
in furtherance of the first objective set
forth in the original plan, namely, the
rehabilitation of the collection by filling
important gaps; and 1,954 volumes were
acquired in line with the second objective,
that of providing more adequately for
maintenance
purchase
of the collection through
of books currently published.
The most significant contributions have
been to the collections of American court
reports, American statutory compila
tions and session laws, English court re
ports, legal periodicals, search books and
foreign law. While in some of these
areas the task is not yet
complete, sub
stantial progress has been made in each
of them. In some other areas, notably
textbooks and treatises, British Colonial
law and international law, less progress
has been made because the desired ma
terials have not as yet been located at
reasonable prices.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
volumes acquired are distributed through
out the collection, their identity as a part
of the Wigmore collection is preserved
through the use of the Wigmore Fund
Book Plate, inserted in every book. Be
cause of Colonel
Wigmore's broad and
scholarly interests it seems appropriate
that the books so identified be thus widely
distributed so that they not only playa
vital part in serving the day-by-day de
mands of the student body and faculty
but also contribute to the Library's ex
tensive resources for legal research in
many fields and concerning the law of
countries extending around the world.
To date $39,503 has been spent, and
the purchasing program is being carried
forward as rapidly as the desired books
are located at reasonable
prices. How
ever,
as
many of these books
are
out of
print and can only be secured with dif
ficulty, it is important that funds be on
hand when they become available in
order that the opportunity to acquire
them will not be lost. Up to the present
$82,362 has been raised out of the total
of $140,000 which is the goal established
by the plan.
There can be no doubt about the sub
stantial improvement in the collection
that the John Henry Wigmore Library
Fund has already made possible. The
Library staff
is made
of this at
almost every turn. On the other hand,
the demands made upon the Library by
the students and faculty and by members
of the bar have greatly increased, and
they extend into areas in which the col
lection is still inadequate. Furthermore,
the flow of important current legal publi
cations continues to increase.
Conse
quently, the full realization of the origi
nal plan represents not only a goal

The Northwestern Law Reporter
Description
An account of the resource
The Reporter (1949-1981) began in 1949 as an eight-page newsletter created to inform alumni, friends, and colleagues of the achievements and events of Northwestern University School of Law and its community of students, faculty, and alumni. The Reporter was originally a student publication, and its founding editors were members of what was then called the Junior Bar Association (now known as the Student Bar Association). In 1981, it was succeeded by the Northwestern Reporter (1981-1997), and grew into a substantial magazine. Together the two publications ran for nearly a half century, chronicling everything from the Law School’s sponsorship of the first-ever conference of law reviews in 1949 to a 1996 program commemorating the efforts of Law School faculty and students in overturning the wrongful death penalty conviction of Rolando Cruz. In 2012, the magazine made a comeback with a new name, Northwestern Law Reporter (2012- ) and is currently in production.

I am confident that THE REPORTER will stimulate and

in so doing will make an invaluable contribution to its welfare
and progress.

Mr. Hodes, who at present is a member

cago's corporation counsel from 1935 to
1947, the longest continuous term in the
department's history. He also represented
Chicago's seventh ward as an alderman

Not only is Mr. Hodes an alumnus of
Northwestern's School of Law, having
received his LL.B. in 1921, but from 1936
to 1940 he was a faculty member, lectur

He is a

The School of Law drive is part of
Northwestern's Centennial Campaign to
raise $8,250,000 for new buildings and
equipment, teaching and research on both
Chicago campuses by
the University's 100th anniversary in
1951. The program calls for $2,000,000
for Evening Study Hall, a proposed class
room building for the
Chicago campus,
$3,000,000 for Centennial Hall, an Evan
ston classroom building, and
$750,000
for Memorial Hall, a structure for con
vocations, musical programs, and indoor
the Evanston and
sports events.
Three major purposes will be served
by the $8,250,000 being sought: (1) the
unification of undergraduate work in
Evanston; (2) the setting up of more
adequate facilities for evening education
in Chicago; and (3) the improvement of
teaching and research in all schools of
the University.
The
University's 100th anniversary
will be marked by a Centennial celebra
tion which will include festivals of the
arts, special musical events, dramatic
productions, symposia on science and the
humanities, alumni reunions, and a Cen-"
tennial football schedule that will bring

becoming fewer.
For the first time since the
war all
of
the income from our endowed scholarship
funds has been awarded for the coming
year. The members of the class selected
for the Fall Term of 1.949 have better
undergraduate records than those of any
previous class. But if the quality of the
student body is to be maintained and im
proved, more financial assistance must
be provided for students in the years to
come.
"During the past year our resources
in this respect have been strengthened
by the addition of the Frederic R. De
Young Scholarship provided by the gift
of Herbert C. De Young and Mrs. Her
bert V. Koehler in memory of their
father, distinguished alumnus (LL.B.
1897, LL.D. 1927) and a member of the
Illinois Supreme Court from 1924 to
1934. It is expected also that a sub
stantial number of the Kosmerl Scholar
ships described in last year's Report will
soon be available for students of the Law
School.
"With the addition of University scho
larships such as were provided before
the war and the financial assistance for
students provided for the Clarion DeWitt
Hardy Scholars by the Owen L. Coon
Foundation, the School will be in a bet
ter position in' this respect than ever
before. There is need, however, for addi
tional scholarship funds."

The totals for the three prior Fall
Terms were 462, 465, and 461. The Ad
missions Office, aiming to restrict en
rollment to 460 students, has come quite
close to the mark in each year. In view
of the fact that the number of students
who will drop out or, having been ad
mitted, will fail to register can only be
estimated, it is rather remarkable that
the fall registration figures have varied
so little.
The restriction on enrollment
is, of course, prompted by the fact that
the School cannot accommodate a 'larger
number without seriously overtaxing its
facilities and suffering a loss in the ef
fectiveness of its educational program.

of these
courses.
Perhaps the most important change,
however, was the introduction of a num
ber of additional elective courses for stu
dents in the seventh term. These include:
Restitution, Creditor's Rights, Local Gov
ernment and Taxation, Insurance, Family
Law, and Public Finance.
The Group Unit Plan contemplated a
prescribed course with no opportunity
for choice except in the case of seminars.
The faculty is still of the opinion that
this in the main represents a sound pro
gram of legal education. Nevertheless it
was
felt that
the
student
in
his
final
term should have the opportunity to de
vote more of his time to subjects of

This meeting, held under the auspices
of the American Bar Association, was
fortunate in having General Dwight D.

of Arkansas as principal speakers.
The business meetings were well
planned and moved forward with more
speed than is' usual at organizational
meetings. The objectives which were
formulated are, briefly: (1) to acquaint
the
law student with the nature and
activities of the American Bar Associa

tions, (2) to foster a closer relationship
between, and train, law students for
future participation in the American Bar
Association, (3)
to
serve
as
a

(5) to gather and disseminate placement

The entering class was selected from

to expectation, the pressure for admis

that the prelegal records of the members

The Northwestern Law Reporter
Description
An account of the resource
The Reporter (1949-1981) began in 1949 as an eight-page newsletter created to inform alumni, friends, and colleagues of the achievements and events of Northwestern University School of Law and its community of students, faculty, and alumni. The Reporter was originally a student publication, and its founding editors were members of what was then called the Junior Bar Association (now known as the Student Bar Association). In 1981, it was succeeded by the Northwestern Reporter (1981-1997), and grew into a substantial magazine. Together the two publications ran for nearly a half century, chronicling everything from the Law School’s sponsorship of the first-ever conference of law reviews in 1949 to a 1996 program commemorating the efforts of Law School faculty and students in overturning the wrongful death penalty conviction of Rolando Cruz. In 2012, the magazine made a comeback with a new name, Northwestern Law Reporter (2012- ) and is currently in production.
