Scientific Crime Detection
Laboratory
(Incorporated)

Affiliated with Northwestern University
Bulletin No. 4

A list of the various types of service which
the Laboratory is prepared to render, with
a description of some of its activities

Northwestern University Bulletin is published weekly during the academic
year at Chicago, Illinois. Ente red as second Class Matter November 21, 1913,
at the Postoffice at Chicago, Illinois, under Act of Congress of August 24,
1912. Accepted for maili ng at special rates of postage provided fo r in
Section 1103, Act of October 3. 1917, authorized on June 14, 1918.

�The Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory, a corporation not for profit.
organized in afiiliation with and administered under the direction of
Northwestern University of Chicago, is prepared to render service to
law-enforcement officers and peace agencies throughout the United States
and Canada in connection with the study of the many different types
of evidence which may figure in crimes of every variety. A list of some
of the activities of our institution is printed below. The Laboratory,
which is located at 469 East Ohio Street, Chicago ( telephone Superior
9455) is open daily except Sunday from 9 :00 A. M. to 5 :00 P. M. Its
permanent staff, whose names appear elsewhere in this leaflet, has been
selected with great care and comprises persons chosen for expert qualifications in their several fields. In addition, a consulting staff ( also listed)
of persons equally qualified but not actually located at the Laboratory,
is being built up. To these men are referred problems of unusual nature
which do not arise with sufficient frequency to warrant the creation of
full-time departments for their investigation.
The services of the Laboratory are available without cost to peace
officers of the Chicago district and may be engaged by individuals or
authorities elsewhere at charges commensurate with the work involved.
Staff members are prepared to appear at points distant from Chicago and
offer testimony as to their findings in studies conducted at the Laboratory.
In addition to conducting the examinations listed below, the Laboratory publishes, through Northwestern University Press, the American
Journal of Police Science, a bi-monthly magazine devoted to the exposition of scientific methods of crime detection and other material of
interest to person·s interested in law-enforcement. The only publication
of its kind in the United States, it has won immediate recognition
throughout this country and abroad. Sample copies of the magazine
may be had upon request.
Another activity of the Laboratory is the training in crime detection
methods of persons already experienced in police work. One such course,
covering thirty days, has already been held. Of this the National Com mission of Law Observance and Enforcement (George W. Wickersham,
Chairman) said in its report dated June 26, 1931, "Scientific to the last
degree, it is establishing a precedent for which there is no equal in this
country at the present time." Repetitions of this course will be carried
out periodically. In addition, another thirty-day course to be offered to
candidates for appointment as police officers will shortly be organized.
It is also planned to conduct this one or more times annually. Descriptive circulars concerning the instruction offered in both courses may be
had upon application.

�List of Laboratory Activities Follows:
1. Automobile Tire Prints: Identification of by photography, the making of casts, etc.
2. Blood: Identification of stains made by, and further classification
as to whether stain is from blood of human being or other
animal.
3. Bombs: Identification of explosive employed; through study of
fragments, etc.
4. Bones: Determination as to whether these are from human beings
or other animals. Also (in some cases) age, height, and sex of
person from whom they came.
5. Bullets: Identification of caliber, type, kind of powder by which
fired, and type of weapon used. Also, in case of a suspected
weapon, whether or not thi s actually fired the bullets in evidence.
6. Casts: Of tool marks, teeth marks, or of entire objects reproductions of which might have value as evidence. Casts may be
made of wound s of any part of a body and preserved to indicate
th e nature and extent of such wounds, also of the entire heads
of unknown dead persons, and held for purposes of identification, etc.
7. Codes : Letters or messages in code can be deciphered by those
familiar with code systems, ( as is a number of our associate
staff) .
8. Deception: See special discussion of this subj ect.
9. Dust: Analyses of dust from the clothing, from pockets of an automobile, or other sources, may yield valuabl e information concerning the habits of the person wearing the clothing, using
the automobil e, etc.
10. Explosions: Examination of premises following explosions may
yield evidence which will reveal the cause behind these.
11. Feces: Examination of bowel movements of prisoners (feces) wi ll
reveal nature of food recently consumed and may be used to
upset alibi statements.
12. Fingernail Scrapings: When these are made from the nails of the
victim of an attack or those of a suspect, they may show the
presence of blood, hair, clothing fibres, or other material which
will help solve the crime.
13. Firearms: Examination of these will show whether they have been
recently fired and if so, with what kind of powder.
14. Fires: Study of premises may reveal evidence indicating the causes
at work.
15. Food: Examination of articles of food may reveal presence of
poisons, harmful bacteria, etc.
16. Gastric (Stomach) Contents: Examination of these may, as in the
case of feces, help upset a suspect's alibi .
17. Hair: Strands of hair from clothing, automobile fenders, etc., may
be identified as similar to those from the heads of victims or
suspects in crimes of various types.
18. H andwritin_q: Specimens of handwriting may be identified as to the
hand that wrote them, erasures and alterations revealed, etc.
19. Inks: Study of the kind of ink used in a document may substantiate
its authentici ty or prov e it a forge ry.

�20. invisible Writing: Secret inks may be employed to write messages
invisible to the naked eye between the lines of communications
innocent in appearance. Such messages can be brought out by
proper treatment.
21. Jewels: Identification of fake jewels can be made by employing
scientific methods involving chemical tests, microscopic examinations, the use of ultra-violet rays, etc.
22. M ctals: Serial numbers stamped in metal, as in firearms, automobiles, etc., and subsequently erased, can be brought back by
proper treatment.
23. M oney: Counterfeits of both metallic and paper money can be
identified by simple laboratory methods.
24. Paper: Knowledge of paper making and the history of paper often
makes it possible to pronounce a certain document genuine
or forged.
25. Parasites: Parasites found on the clothing of a body may be identified as of the same type as others present on the premises where
a murder was committed, and so forth.
26. Paternity (Fatherhood): In a certain percentage of cases it is possible to establish paternity by blood-grouping tests made upon
parents and child.
27. Poisoning: Chemical analyses of stomach contents, organs. etc., will
reveal presence of poisons.
28. Postage Stamps: These are frequently forged, but forgeries can be
detected by proper methods.
29. Postmarks: These may be forged in connection with fake alibis.
They can be detected without difficulty.
30. Powder Marh: On skin or clothing these may serve to identify
the kind of powder used and distance at which a shot was fired.
31. Printing: A study of this will reveal its approximate date as the
varieties of type used are constantly changing. Thus the age
of a printed document may be established.
32. Seals, Embossed: These may be forged but the forgery can be
detected.
33. Seals, Wax: These may be forged or removed and replaced. Detection is possible in both cases.
34. Seminal Stains: These may readily be identified on clothing in
rape cases.
35. Shells, empty, fir ed: These can be identified as to the particular
arm in which they were fired, etc.
36. Shoe Prints: These may photographed and casts made of them
which will show every abnormality present in the soles of the
shoes which caused them. Thus the suspect may be convicted
by identifying certain prints as having been made by shoes worn
by him.
37. Soil: Soil adhering to shoes, clothing, etc., will help identify the
locality through which the wearer has recently passed, and
thus to confirm or upset an alibi.
38. Spots and Stains: These may be found on materials of all sorts.
Analyses will usually reveal their nature, which may have an
important bearing in the case.

�39. Stamps, Rubber: These may be forged but the forgery can be
identified.
40. Teeth Marks: These may be found in food, on human bodies, etc.
Molds may be taken of them whereby the teeth ·of the person
causing them can later be identified, as the teeth of no two
persons will leave precisely the same marks in an object bitten.
41. Textiles: Fibres of different types of cloth can be identified under
the microscope and may prove very important evidence in many
kinds of cases.
42. Tool Marks: Marks of jimmies or other tools on doors, etc., can
be molded and the casts retained for future use. These will
show any defects present in the tool used and may serve to
identify the actual tool involved.
43. Typewriting: This can be identified as to the make of machine
employed and as to the particular machine of that make which
wrote it. Alterations, erasures, etc., can be revealed.
44. Urine: When this contains abnormal constituents it may serve to
identify a given individual.
4S. Wads (from Guns) : These can be identified as to the factory which
made them. This may be an important point in shooting cases.

Deception: Our Psychological Department, which is directed by Mr.
Leonarde Keeler, has so perfected the use of the instrument popularly
known as the "lie-detector" that we have been able to build up around
it a personnel service which various commercial institutions are finding
extremely useful. This service consists of two classes. The first involves routine examinations of candidates for positions of trust. Each
individual examined is questioned upon the lie-detector concern ing important events in his past history. If he has ever been a defaulter, has
served time in penal institutions, or has been discharged for dishonesty
or incompetency, such facts are brought out. A report is then submitted
to the prospective employer in which our findings are outlined and our
recommendation as to the candidate's desirability offered. Various banks
in Chicago are now using this service for every employee
added to th eir
rolls. Three former defaulters who would otherwise have been employed, have been r ejected as a result of our examination which revealed
their unsavory past histories.
Our second class of service involves the examination on the liedetector of persons suspected of embezzlement, petty thievery, etc. All
possible suspects in any individual instance are tested in succession ancl
any who show records indicative of guilt or guilty knowledge of th e
situation under investigation are retested until confessions are obtained.
These are usually secured in some seventy-five per cent of instances in
which the lie-detector record indicates guilt. So accurate are these records
that, even though confessions are not obtained, employers are inclined
to accept their verdict and discharge the persons involved.
The use of the lie-detector is the antithesis of the third degree. It
requires the complete cooperation of the individual under examination ,
without which no satisfactory record can be secured. As a result, no
claims that confessions secured through it have been exacted by mental
or physical brutality can be substantiated, as the subject must be relatively
calm mentally and quiescent physically if a satisfactory record is to be
obtained.

�COMMENT BY THE NATIONAL COMMISSION OF LAW
OBSERVANCE AND ENFORCEMENT ON THE
SCIENTIFIC CRIME DETECTION LABORATORY

The following excerpt is taken fro m Report No. 11 , entitled: Report on L awlessness in Law Enforcement, as issued by the National
Commission on L aw Observance and E nforcement ( George W . Wickersham, Chairman). On pages 130 and 131, in a discussion of the "Third
Degree," we find:
"One counteractive force which may prove of benefit is the
Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory of Chicago, a non-profit corporation affiliated with Northwestern University.
Its managing
director is Major Calvin Goddard. Its services are open to all police
departments. The directors believe that scientific methods are the
best remedy for the third degree and other brutal practices .
In 1930 the Chicago police submitted sixty-seven cases of homicide
by firearms, mainly involving the identification of bullets with the
guns from which they were supposed to have been fired. The laboratory is equipped for handling all sorts of microscopic and chemical
tests to detect forgeries , invisible writing, alterations of serial numbers on firearms, etc. The first number of the Journal of Scientific
Crime Detection (American Journal of Police Science) was published
by the laboratory in January, 1930, and the journal already has a
considerable circulation .
The presence in Chicago of this
laboratory, with its many scientific facilities, ought in time to stimulate the local prosecuting attorneys and detectives to place an increasing reliance on the investigation of outside evidence of
crimes

                <text>A list of the various types of service which the Laboratory is prepared to render, with a description of some of its activities Northwestern University Bulletin is published weekly during the academic year at Chicago, Illinois. Entered as second Class Matter November 21, 1913, at the Postoffice at Chicago, Illinois, under Act of Congress of August 24, 1912. Accepted for mailing at special rates of postage provided fo r in Section 1103, Act of October 3. 1917, authorized on June 14, 1918. The Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory, a corporation not for profit. organized in afiiliation with and administered under the direction of Northwestern University of Chicago, is prepared to render service to law-enforcement officers and peace agencies throughout the United States and Canada in connection with the study of the many different types of evidence which may figure in crimes of every variety. A list of some of the activities of our institution is printed below. The Laboratory, which is located at 469 East Ohio Street, Chicago ( telephone Superior 9455) is open daily except Sunday from 9 :00 A. M. to 5 :00 P. M. Its permanent staff, whose names appear elsewhere in this leaflet, has been selected with great care and comprises persons chosen for expert qualifications in their several fields. In addition, a consulting staff ( also listed) of persons equally qualified but not actually located at the Laboratory, is being built up. To these men are referred problems of unusual nature which do not arise with sufficient frequency to warrant the creation of full-time departments for their investigation. The services of the Laboratory are available without cost to peace officers of the Chicago district and may be engaged by individuals or authorities elsewhere at charges commensurate with the work involved. Staff members are prepared to appear at points distant from Chicago and offer testimony as to their findings in studies conducted at the Laboratory. In addition to conducting the examinations listed below, the Laboratory publishes, through Northwestern University Press, the American Journal of Police Science, a bi-monthly magazine devoted to the exposition of scientific methods of crime detection and other material of interest to person·s interested in law-enforcement. The only publication of its kind in the United States, it has won immediate recognition throughout this country and abroad. Sample copies of the magazine may be had upon request. Another activity of the Laboratory is the training in crime detection methods of persons already experienced in police work. One such course, covering thirty days, has already been held. Of this the National Com - mission of Law Observance and Enforcement (George W. Wickersham, Chairman) said in its report dated June 26, 1931, "Scientific to the last degree, it is establishing a precedent for which there is no equal in this country at the present time." Repetitions of this course will be carried out periodically. In addition, another thirty-day course to be offered to candidates for appointment as police officers will shortly be organized. It is also planned to conduct this one or more times annually. Descriptive circulars concerning the instruction offered in both courses may be had upon application. List of Laboratory Activities Follows: Automobile Tire Prints: Identification of by photography, the making of casts, etc. Blood: Identification of stains made by, and further classification as to whether stain is from blood of human being or other animal. Bombs: Identification of explosive employed; through study of fragments, etc. Bones: Determination as to whether these are from human beings or other animals. Also (in some cases) age, height, and sex of person from whom they came. Bullets: Identification of caliber, type, kind of powder by which fired, and type of weapon used. Also, in case of a suspected weapon, whether or not this actually fired the bullets in evidence. Casts: Of tool marks, teeth marks, or of entire objects reproductions of which might have value as evidence. Casts may be made of wounds of any part of a body and preserved to indicate the nature and extent of such wounds, also of the entire heads of unknown dead persons, and held for purposes of identification, etc. Codes : Letters or messages in code can be deciphered by those familiar with code systems, ( as is a number of our associate staff) . Deception: See special discussion of this subj ect. Dust: Analyses of dust from the clothing, from pockets of an automobile, or other sources, may yield valuable information concerning the habits of the person wearing the clothing, using the automobile, etc. Explosions: Examination of premises following explosions may yield evidence which will reveal the cause behind these. Feces: Examination of bowel movements of prisoners (feces) will reveal nature of food recently consumed and may be used to upset alibi statements. Fingernail Scrapings: When these are made from the nails of the victim of an attack or those of a suspect, they may show the presence of blood, hair, clothing fibres, or other material which will help solve the crime. Firearms: Examination of these will show whether they have been recently fired and if so, with what kind of powder. Fires: Study of premises may reveal evidence indicating the causes at work. Food: Examination of articles of food may reveal presence of poisons, harmful bacteria, etc. Gastric (Stomach) Contents: Examination of these may, as in the case of feces, help upset a suspect's alibi . Hair: Strands of hair from clothing, automobile fenders, etc., may be identified as similar to those from the heads of victims or suspects in crimes of various types. H andwritin_q: Specimens of handwriting may be identified as to the hand that wrote them, erasures and alterations revealed, etc. Inks: Study of the kind of ink used in a document may substantiate its authentici ty or prove it a forge ry. invisible Writing: Secret inks may be employed to write messages invisible to the naked eye between the lines of communications innocent in appearance. Such messages can be brought out by proper treatment. Jewels: Identification of fake jewels can be made by employing scientific methods involving chemical tests, microscopic examinations, the use of ultra-violet rays, etc. M ctals: Serial numbers stamped in metal, as in firearms, automobiles, etc., and subsequently erased, can be brought back by proper treatment. M oney: Counterfeits of both metallic and paper money can be identified by simple laboratory methods. Paper: Knowledge of paper making and the history of paper often makes it possible to pronounce a certain document genuine or forged. Parasites: Parasites found on the clothing of a body may be identified as of the same type as others present on the premises where a murder was committed, and so forth. Paternity (Fatherhood): In a certain percentage of cases it is possible to establish paternity by blood-grouping tests made upon parents and child.

Textiles: Fibres of different types of cloth can be identified under the microscope and may prove very important evidence in many kinds of cases. Tool Marks: Marks of jimmies or other tools on doors, etc., can be molded and the casts retained for future use. These will show any defects present in the tool used and may serve to identify the actual tool involved. Typewriting: This can be identified as to the make of machine employed and as to the particular machine of that make which wrote it. Alterations, erasures, etc., can be revealed.

COMMENT BY THE NATIONAL COMMISSION OF LAW OBSERVANCE AND ENFORCEMENT ON THE SCIENTIFIC CRIME DETECTION LABORATORY The following excerpt is taken from Report No. 11 , entitled: Report on L awlessness in Law Enforcement, as issued by the National Commission on L aw Observance and Enforcement ( George W . Wickersham, Chairman). On pages 130 and 131, in a discussion of the "Third Degree," we find: "One counteractive force which may prove of benefit is the Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory of Chicago, a non-profit corporation affiliated with Northwestern University. Its managing director is Major Calvin Goddard. Its services are open to all police departments. The directors believe that scientific methods are the best remedy for the third degree and other brutal practices . In 1930 the Chicago police submitted sixty-seven cases of homicide by firearms, mainly involving the identification of bullets with the guns from which they were supposed to have been fired. The laboratory is equipped for handling all sorts of microscopic and chemical tests to detect forgeries, invisible writing, alterations of serial numbers on firearms, etc. The first number of the Journal of Scientific Crime Detection (American Journal of Police Science) was published by the laboratory in January, 1930, and the journal already has a considerable circulation . The presence in Chicago of this laboratory, with its many scientific facilities, ought in time to stimulate the local prosecuting attorneys and detectives to place an increasing reliance on the investigation of outside evidence of crimes "</text>

�FOUNDING, PURPOSE AND LOCATION OF THE LAW SCHOOL

7

Founding, Purpose and Location of Law School

T

HE LAW SCHOOL was founded in 1859 with a sum of
money given by Thomas Hoyne, when there were only three
similar schools west of the Allegheny Mountains. The
first dean was Henry Booth, 1859-1891. For many years the School
was under the joint control of the old University of Chicago and
of Northwestern University, and was. known as the Union College
of Law. In 1891, the other University having long ceased to share
in the management and being about to surrender its charter, Northwestern University assumed sole control, and the School has since
been an integral part .of the University, and has borne its name.
The course of study is arranged to give a knowledge of the law
that will be indispensable to students wherever they may practice.
Graduates. of the School are now located in nearly every state and
territory, as well as in foreign countries. Special courses are offered
for acquiring a knowledge of the law of Illinois.

The extensive library of the School, the Elbert H. Gary Library
of Law, located in its own fireproof building, immediately adjoining
the Law School, lends itself peculiarly to modern and scientific
methods of instruction.
The School is located on McKinlock Campus overlooking Lake
Michigan at Lake _Shore Drive and Chicago Avenue, Chicago, in
its new building, Levy Mayer Hall, the gift of Mrs. Levy Mayer,
in memory of her husband, who was an eminent member of the
Chicago Bar.

Limitation of Number of Students
and Admission Requirements
( 1) The total number of students admitted each year is limited
to four hundred, exclusive of graduate students and such students as
may be permitted for satisfactory reasons to extend the time of
attendance required for a degree by reducing the number of hours
per week below the minimum normally required.

( 2) An applicant for admission to the School for the first time
or to continue work therein for a subsequent year must file an application for admission. To insure priority such · application must be
filed before July 15.

�8

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL

( 3) An applicant for admission for the first time must furnish
proof of satisfactory completion of three years' study in an approved
college. A complete transcript of his college record, together with
evidence of any degree he may have received, must be filed with his
application, or as soon thereafter as it can be obtained. If he has
done work in another law school or any other school in addition to
his college work, a complete transcript of such other work must also
be filed with his application. No one will be admitted who has been
denied re-admission to another law school.
(4) All applications must be accompanied by the matriculation
fee. This fee will be returned only if the applicant is not admitted.
(5) Auditors who have already been admitted to the bar and
who are not candidates for a degree may be admitted to certain
courses in such numbers as will not interfere with the work of the
students registered for such courses.

Graduation
Degrees will be conferred by the Trustees of the University upon
students who are recommended therefor by the Faculty of the Law
School. Before a student will be recommended for a degree he must

study.
Except such persons as for satisfactory reasons have been permitted to extend the time of attendance required for a degree, each
student must, throughout the periods of registration, be registered:
(a) in the first year, for not less than the full number of hours
of work prescribed for first-year students;
( b) in the second year and third year, for not less than fourteen

lent, as above mentioned, will be required to meet the following
conditions:
(a)

The completion of one year of residence at this school;

( b) The completion during that year of a study in the field of
law on a subject to be approved by the Faculty or its proper committee. This study shall be one involving original research and must

form, as to be, in the opinion of the Faculty, a significant and scholarly contribution to legal science. The mechanical form of the manuscript shall be subject to the approval of the Faculty;
( c) The completion of such other work, if any, as may be
directed by the Dean in the particular case;
(d) The passing of an examination to be prescribed by the

degree in Arts or Science may be spent in law studies in this Law
School, so as to lead in seven years to degrees both in law and in arts
or science, in one of the following ways:
(a) A member of the third or fourth year class in good standing
in the College of Liberal Arts of this University may elect work in
Law which shall count toward his degrees in both the College of
Liberal Arts and the Law School, so as to receive the degree of
Bachelor of Arts or Science at the end of his fourth year in this
University. The work elected cannot exceed one year's work in the
Law School, and each election is subject to the approval of both
Faculties.
( b) A student presenting three years of college credit from
another approved college of arts or science may, upon the satisfactory
completion of the first year's work in the Law School, receive from
this Faculty a certificate requesting the Faculty of his original college
to recognize his work in this Law School as the equivalent of a fourth
year in college and to recommend him for the deg1·ee of Bachelor of
Arts or Science in that college or university.
(c) A student presenting three years of college credit from
this or another approved college of arts or science may, upon the satisfactory completion of the first year's work in the Law School, upon
the recommendatioo of the Law School Faculty, receive from this

�GRADES OF SCHOLARSHIP

11

University the degree of Bachelor of Science in Law; but if he comes
from the College of Liberal Arts of this University he must have
followed the program described on page I 3.

(2) The Master's degree in Arts will be conferred under the
following conditions:
A graduate of the College of Liberal Arts of this University, or
other college maintaining equivalent requirements for the Bachelor's
degree in Arts or Science, may obtain the Master's degree at the same
time with the degree of Juris Doctor by pursuing, with the sanction
of the Board of Graduate Studies, advanced work in subjects approved by the Faculty, and obtaining credit to the amount of twelve
semester-hours; and by presenting a thesis on an approved topic. The
courses of study must deal entirely with legal subjects; but courses of
legal study, in order to count for the degree, must be of an advanced
nature, must not otherwise be counted for the degree in law, and
must be pursued under the direction of a committee of three of the
Faculty of the Law School. If the candidate is obtaining his Juris
Doctor's degree after only three years of College of Liberal Arts
work, the additional credits required for obtaining the Master's
degree must amount to thirty semester-hours.
Students in law, intending to become candidates for the Master's
degree, will register for the same degree in both the College of Liberal
Arts and the Law School on or before the first Monday in October
of the year in which they expect to graduate, and will pay the diploma
fee of twenty dollars. The Master's degree is open, upon the same
terms, to graduates of the Law School who register before the October next following the completion of their professional course.

Curriculum
GENERAL STATEMENT.

In ·preparing the curriculum and requirements for the four-year
course of studies leading to the degree of J.D., the Faculty of Law
has kept in view the following principal objects:
(I) To ensure for every graduate a thorough training in the
use of original sources, and a rigid mental discipline, with a view to
the formation of those habits of independent legal thinking which
ought to be the fundamental possession of every member of the legal
profession ;

�14

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL

( 2) To ensure for every graduate a general intelligent acquaintance with the elemental principles in the entire orthodox compass of
the technical subjects of law, and thus to qualify him to do mature
work in the later stages of his study and equip him to approach any
legal problem without serious gaps in large fields of essential legal
information;
(3), To ensure for every graduate some understanding of those
liberal legal subjects which develop breadth of view and qualify him
to render public service as a leader of professional and civic thought;
(4) To attain these results, in point of method, by using the
most approved practices, and in particular by assuring to every student, on the part of the Faculty, from time to time, an individual
valuation of the quality of his . work, and a personal attention to his
individual needs and capacities for attaining the expected standards.
The special features of the curriculum and requirements described
below are based directly on one or another of those objectives.
( 5) The faculty reserves the privilege at any time, to make
changes in the published curriculum.
FIRST YEAR
CONSTITUTIONAL GovERNMENT-Two hours a week each semester. (A general study of the structure, powers and jurisdiction of
all types of American Constitutional government, divided into three
parts: Federal, State, and Local.) Albertsworth's Cases on Constitutional Government (mimeographed). Professor A lbertsworth.
BusINESS AGENCIES-Three hours a week, second semester. (The

�FOUNDING, PURPOSE AND LOCATION OF THE LAW SCHOOL

7

Founding, Purpose and Location of the Law School

T

HE LAW SCHOOL was founded in 1859 with a sum of
money given by Thomas Hoyne, when there were only three
similar schools west of the Allegheny Mountains. The
first dean was Henry Booth, 1859-1891. For many years the School
was under the joint control of the old University of Chicago and
of Northwestern University, and was known as the Union College
of Law. In 1891 1 the other University having long ceased to share
in the management and being about to surrender its charter, Northwestern University assumed sole control, and the School has since
been an integral part of the University, and has borne its name.

The course of study is arranged to give a knowledge of the law
that will be indispensable to students wherever they may practice.
Graduates of the School are now located in nearly every state and
territory, as well as in foreign countries. Special courses are offered
for acquiring a knowledge of the law of Illinois.
The Case-study system, or the study of the principles of law as
illustrated in judicial opinions, is followed in most courses of instruction; but each instructor follows his own judgment, in conducting the
classes by lectures, discussions, recitations, written exercises, or in any
way he deems best adapted to the subject. The extensive library of
the School, the Elbert H. Gary Library of Law, lends itself peculiarly
to modern and scientific methods of instruction.
The School is now located in Northwestern University Building at
the corner of Lake and Dearborn Streets, Chicago, which was

another approved college of arts or science may, upon the satisfactory
completion of the first year's work in the Law School, receive from

Curriculum
1.

GENERAL STATEMENT

In preparing the curriculum and requirements for the four-year
course of studies leading to the degree of J.D., the Faculty of Law
has kept in view the following principal objects:
(I) To ensure for every graduate a thorough training in the
use of original sources, and a rigid mental discipline, with a view to
the formation of those habits of independent legal thinking which
ought to be the fundamental possession of every member of the legal
profession ;

(2) To ensure for every graduate a general intelligent acquaintance with the elemental principles in the entire orthodox compass of
the technical subjects of law, and thus to qualify him to do mature
work in the later stages of his study and to equip him to approach
any legal problem without serious gaps in large fields of essential
legal information ;
( 3) To ensure for every graduate some understanding of those
non-technical legal subjects which develop breadth of view and qualify him to render public service as a leader of professional and civic
thought;
(4) To attain these results, in point of method, by using the
most approved practices, and in particular by assuring to every student, on the part of the Faculty, from time to time, an individual
valuation of the quality of his work, and a personal attention to his
individual needs and capacities for attaining the expected standards.
The special features of the curriculum and requirements described
below are based directly on one or another of those objectives.

EXERCISES IN FORENSIC WRITING, SPEAKING .
AND PRACTICE

As a part of the systematic instruction represented in the foregoing curriculum, an effort is made to provide adequate training in
the practical use of legal knowledge . and in certain important forms
of legal writing and speaking which help materially to equip the
accomplished lawyer. Some of the various branches of work
directed to this end are as follows:
Pleadings and Other Instruments-The courses on Common Law
Pleading, Code Pleading, and Equity Pleading, in addition to the
study of the legal sources, include exercises in the drafting of the
various kinds of pleadings. In other courses, particularly in Commercial P aper, Carriers, In surance, Transactional Documents, L egal
Bibliography, attention is paid to the forms of instruments in common
use.
Conveyancing-In the course on Conveyancing the chief material
consists of a series of selected abstracts of title representing a great
variety of documents and proceedings involving; property rights. A
copy of each abstract is purchased by each member of the class, and a
detailed study of matters of form and substance is made from the

�28

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL

conveyancer's point of view, and with regard to the laws of different States. Thorough work in this course ought to equip the
student as a practical conveyancer at the time of his entering upon
his profession. No one may take this course who has not taken the
courses Property I and II.
Trial Practice-The courses on Procedure and Practice give a
systematic and detailed survey of the rules of law. The course on
Evidence includes an auxiliary drill in the use of the rules. The
Practice Court gives the third year student opportunity to become
practically familiar with these rules by the application of them in
litigation managed by himself. The sessions of the Court are held
weekly, on Thursday evenings, for two hours. During each session
from one to three cases are tried, with and without a jury; and
other cases are disposed of in various aspects. Between the sessions,
causes are being prepared and advanced from stage to stage by the
student-attorneys in charge. While the proceedings are dispatched
at the hearings by the respective attorneys, all members of the class
are required to attend, to make notes, and to report on the work
done. A faithful attention to this course ought to give the graduate
experience in the use of legal knowledge that will materially assist
him in starting in his profession. The systematic pursuit of such
a course under an experienced instructor affords the student results more thorough, accurate, and extensive than can be obtained
in the desultory service of a law office during a long period. A copy
of the printed Rules of the Practice Court will be mailed upon
request.
Editorial Work-To edit and digest for the profession the opinion
and record of a decided case is of great value in cultivating the skill
required in preparing briefs and analyzing precedents. Each year
not more than seven second and third-year students of known ability
are appointed Associate Editors of the Illinois Law Review, to digest
manuscript decisions of the Appellate Court, and to prepare comments on recent judicial opinions.
Legal Clinic-Members of the third-year class are assigned for
six hours a week for one semester to the main office and the district
offices of the Legal Aid Bureau of the United Charities of Chicago,
where they work under the direction of a member of the Law School
faculty and the five attorneys of the Bureau. In addition, the class
meets one hour a week at the Law School for instruction. An examination is given at the end of the course and a passing grade required
of all students before graduation.

1. GENERAL STATEMENT
preparing the curriculum and requirements for the four-year
course of studies leading to the degree of J. D., the Faculty of Law
has kept in view the followi11g principal objects:
111

( 1)

To ensure for every graduate a tl1orough training in the
use of original sources, and a rigid mental discipline, with a view to
the formation of those habits of independent legal thinki11g which
ought to be the fundamental possession of every member of the legal
profession ;

(2)

To ensu1·e for every graduate a general intelligent acquaintance with the elemental principles in the entire orthodox compass of
the technical subjects of law, and thus to qualify him to do mature
work in tl1e later stages of his study and to equip him to approach
any legal proble1n without serious gaps in large fields of essential
legal information;

( 3)

To ensure for every graduate some understanding of those
non-technical legal subjects ,vhich develop breadth of view and qualify him to render public service as a leader of professional and civic
thought;

( 4) To attain these results, in point of method, by using the
n1ost approved practices, and in particular by assuring to every student, on the part of the Faculty, from time to time, an individual
valuation of the quality of his work and a personal attention to his
individual needs and capacities for attaining the expected standards.

The special features of the curriculum and requirements described

below are based directly on one or another of those objectives,

METHODS OF INSTRUCTION.
( 1) The first two and the last two years represent two separate
and graded stages of the legal training

In the first two years all students are given a practically uniform

course. The instruction is conducted in classes, alike for all. The
course-subjects represent the elemental legal ideas which constantly
recur in the body of the law, and which must be n1astered in order
to undertake profitably the ,vork of the last two years; these subjects
being to the Law what Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry
nometry are to Mathematics. The General Survey course completes

*Omitted in 1919-20.

�the student's acquaintance with tl1e general body of the law so as to
equip I1im ,vith elen1ental information 011 the optional technical subjects
Which he may 11ot take in tl1e last two years of the curriculum.
In the last two years the stt1dent completes the 1·emaining funda1ne11tal technical subjects. He now ente1·s upon the practical
application of his knowledge and skill, in the cot1rses in Legal Clinic
and Practice. He also progresses to the courses of legal science,
At
enlarging I1is view and liberalizing this tecl1nical knowledge
tl1e same time, l1e selects additional tecl1nical courses in whichtl1e
work is individually assig11ed to eacl1 stt1de11t, and his capacity to
handle for himself new legal problems is obse1·ved and stimulated
in courses listed as Grot1p Three, tl1is individual method will be
freely used.

(2) Specific and Selecti1 e Reqz,ire,nents.
(a) In the Fi1·st Year, the program of courses is identical for
all stude11ts; no opportunity for selection is offered.
( b) In the Second Year, no opportunity £01· selectio11 is offered;
except in the first tern1, as between
Agency
Carriers, A
and QuasiContracts.
( c) In the Third Year, four term-hours in each tern1 in Gro11p
011e, being all three of the courses, a1·e specifically required. In
Group T,vo, four term-hot1rs of courses, 1·epresenting two subjects,
a1·e to be selected ir1 each term fron1 tl1e six st1b j ects offered ; the
selectio11 of subjects may be cl1anged in each te1·m. In G1·oup Th1·ee,
five term-l1ours a1·e to be selected from the eigl1t or nine subjects
offe1·ed ane,v in each te1·n1; eacl1 subject being o·ffered for one te1·mhour but, in the discretion of the instrt1cto1·, for n1ore term-hot1 rs.
If more than four term-hours are selected in Group Two the selection in Group Three may be of only enot1gh to 1nake up tl1e required
total of term-hours.
( d) In the Fourth Year, five term-I1ours in each term i11 Group
011e are required; or six term-hours, if the student intends to practice
in Illinois. In Groups Two and Three, the remaining necessary
number of term-hours in each term are to be selected f1·om the whole
list of courses i11 both Groups, ,,·ithout specific 1·equi1·en1er1ts.
( 3) M Methodof I nst1·uctio1z.

(a) In the courses of the First and Seco11d Y ea1·s, the metl1od
of instruction is by the study and analysis of selected judicial opinions and by class-discussion; except that in the General Survey cou·rse
and the Legal Biography course the materials for study consist of
appropriate treatises on ,vhich the student reports and is examined.

�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.

�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.

�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!

Founding, Purpose, and Location of the Law School

T
'

HE LAW SCHOOL was founded in 1859 with a sum of
money given by Thomas Hoyne, when there were only three
similar schools west of the Allegheny Mountains. The
first dean was Henry Booth, 1859-1891. For many years the School
was under the joint control of the old University of Chicago and
of Northwestern University, and was known as the Union College
of Law. In 1891, the other University having long ceased to share
in the management and being about to surrender its charter, Northwestern University assumed sole control, and the School has since
been an integral part of the University, and has b6rne its name.
The course of study is arranged to give a knowledge of the law
that will be indispensable to students wherever they may practice.
Graduates of the School are now located in nearly every state and

territory, as well as in foreign countries. Special courses are offered
for acquiring a knowledge of the law of Illinois.
The Case-study system, or the study of the principles of law as
illustrated in judicial opinions, is followed in most courses of instruction; but each instructor follows his own judgment, in conducting the
classes by lectures, discussions, recitations, written exercises, or in any
way he deems best adapted to the subject. The extensive library of
the School, the Elbert H. Gary' Library of Law, lends itself peculiarly
to modern and scientific methods of instruction.
The School is located in Northwestern University Building at
the corner of Lake and Dearborn Streets, Chicago, which was
acquired and rebuilt in 1901-1902, at a cost of nearly one million
dollars. It is situated near the center of the business district of
Chicago and is of easy access from all residence ,portions of the city.
The City, State, and Federal Courts are within a few blocks. The
School occupies 24 ,000 square feet of space, divided into convenient
lecture-rooms, assembly-rooms, study-rooms. professor's offices, courtroom and library. The arrangement of the rooms, opening on an
inner court, ensures seclusion and quiet for study.

H.

GARY LIBRARY OF LAW

The library of some 50,000 volumes represents chiefly the gifts
of the Honorable Elbert H. Gary, LL.B., 1867, LL.D., 1922, of
New York City, and is unusual in its scope. It contains duplicate
sets of the United States Reports, the official Reports of all the States
and Territories, the complete National Reporter System, partly in
duplicate, the Lawyers' Reports Annotated, all of the official Illinois
Reports in triplicate, statutes of all the States in the Union, and· a
large collection of digests, periodicals, encyclopedias, and textbooks.
Of the British legal sources, it possesses the complete Statutes, and
substantially all the regular Reports of England, Ireland, and Canada
since the beginning of the Year Books, except those appearing in law
journals.
Besides the library of Modern Anglo-American law, there are
the following special collections:
Modern Continental Law, numbering some 13,000 volumes on
the law of the twenty-three European countries, as contained in
statutes, decisions, journals, and treatises, is more comprehensive in
scope than any other collection in the United States.

rare volumes not found in any other American Library.

English Historical Legal Literature, sets of Colonial session laws
(mostly reprints), revisions, contemporary and modern treatises on
the laws of the colonies, and other material related to the history of
the development of the common law in England and the United
States. This collection now numbers about 3,500 volumes and contains many rare and valuable historical treatises.
Latin-American Law includes collections of the laws of Mexico,
the Central American, and the South American States, following the
arrangement in the Gary Collections of Modern Continental Law;
that is, a collection of the codes, ordinances, decisions of the Supreme
Court, most important treatises, and leading law journals. The
volumes installed approximate 3,200, and the number is being increased as rapidly as the material can be acquired.
Legal Bibliography, numbering some 600 volumes and pamphlets,
covering all topics and countries.
The extensive library of the Chicago Law Institute, two blocks
distant, exchanges the privileges of consultation for all books not in
the Elbert H. Gary Library.

School, so as to lead in seven years to degrees both in !au.! and in arts
or science, in one of the following ways:
(a) A member of the third or fourth year class in good standing
in the College of Liberal Arts of this University may elect work in
Law which shall count toward his degrees in both the College of
Liberal Arts and the Law School, so as to receive the degree of
Bachelor of Arts or Science at the end of his fourth year in this
U niver_sity. The work elected cannot exceed one year's work in the
Law School, and each election is subject to the approval of both
Faculties.
(b) A student presenting three years of college credit from
another approved college of arts or science may, upon the satisfactory
completion of the first year's work in the Law School, receive from
this Faculty a certificate requesting the F acuity of his original college

SCHOOL

to recognize his work in this Law School as the equivalent of a fourth
year in college and to recommend him for the degree of Bachelor of
Arts or Science in that college or university.

(c) A student presenting three years of college credit from
another approved college of arts or science may, upon the satisfactory completion of the first year's work in the Law School, upon the
recommendation of the Law School Faculty, receive from this University the degree of Bachelor of Science in Law.
(2) The Master's degree in Arts will be conferred under the
following conditions:
A graduate of the College of Liberal Arts of this University, or
other college maintaining equivalent requirements for the Bachelor's
degree in Arts or Science, may obtain the Master's degree at the same
time with the degree of Juris Doctor by pursuing, with the sanction
of the Faculty of Liberal Arts, advanced work in subjects approved by
that Faculty, and obtaining credit to the amount of twelve semesterhours; and by presenting a thesis on an approved topic. The courses
of study must deal entirely with legal subjects; but courses of legal
study, in order to count for the degree, must be of an advanced
nature, must not otherwise be counted for the degree in law, and
must be pursued under the direction of a committee of three of the
Faculty of the Law School. If the candidate is obtaining his Juris
Doctor's degree after only three years of College of Liberal Arts
work, the additional credits required for obtaining the Master's
degree must amount to thirty semester-hours.
Students in law, intending to become candidates for the Master's
degree, will register for the same degree in both the College of Liberal
Arts and the Law School on or before the first Monday in October
of the year in which they expect to graduate, and will pay the diploma
fee of twenty dollars. The Master's degree is open, upon the same
terms, to graduates of the Law School who register before the October next following the completion of their professional course.

�COURSES OF INSTRUCTION

(I) , To ensure for every graduate a thorough trammg in the
use of original sources, and a rigid mental discipline, with a view to
the formation of those habits of independent legal thinking which
ought to be the fundamental possession of every member of the legal
profession;

(2) To ensure for every graduate a general intelligent acquaintance with the elemental principles in the entire orthodox compass of
the technical subjects of law, and thus to qualify him to do mature
work in the later stages of his study and to equip him to approach
any legal problem without serious gaps in large fields of essential
legal information ;
(3) To ensure for every graduate some understanding of those
non-technical legal subjects which develop breadth of view and qualify him to render public service as a leader of professional and civic
thought;
(4) To attain these results, in point of method, by using the
most approved practices, and in particular by assuring to every student, on the part of the Faculty, from time to time, an individual
valuation of the quality of his work, and a personal attention to his
individual needs and capacities for attaining the expected standards.
The special features of the curriculum and requirements described
below are based directly on one or another of those objectives.

SCHOOL

COURSES IN ILLINOIS LAW

Some twenty short courses on Illinois Law are given every year
by a special corps of lecturers.
THE PURPOSES OF THE COURSES

The purposes of these courses are:

(I) To furnish instruction in the local law of the State, as
distinguished from the general law of Anglo-America.

(2) .To cultivate a scientific treatment of the State law as an
independent body of law.
(3) To furnish the advanced student with an experience in the
critique of judicial precedents emanating from a single court.
The courses are intended for third or fourth year students, alumni,
and graduates who come from schools in other States to the Illinois
bar.
MODE OF CONDUCTING THE COURSES

The lecturers are ( with one exception) all alumni of the school,
having an experience of from five to fifteen years at the bar. In
each instance the lecturer's subject is one in which his special
experience at the bar has given him a particular interest.
The topics selected are usually four under each subject, one for
each hour; each subject receiving four hours; and the topics within
each subject are or may be changed in part from year to year. Two
lectures a week are given in each course; usually two courses are
proceeding at the same time.
The work of the class is done by studying beforehand a select
list of leading cases. A syllabus list of these cases is distributed
before the opening of each course. Each lecturer employs the mode
of exposition that seems to him best,-a formal lecture, discussion,
etc. An examination is held in each course; and work done is
credited proportionately towards a degree, like work done in other
courses of the curriculum.

EXERCISES IN FORENSIC WRITING, SPEAKING
AND PRACTICE

As a part of the systematic instruction represented in the foregoing curriculum, an effort is made to provide adequate training in
the practical use of legal knowledge and in certain important forms
of legal writing and speaking which help materially to equip the
accomplished lawyer. Some of the various branches of work
directed to this end are as follows:

Pleadings and Other Instruments-The courses on Common Law
Pleading, Code Pleading, and Equity Pleading, in addition to the
study of the legal sources, include exercises in the drafting of the
various kinds of pleadings. In other courses, particularly in Commercial Paper, Carriers, Insurance, Transactional Documents, attention is paid to the forms of instruments in common use.
Conveyancing-In the course on Conveyancing the chief material
consists of a series of selected abstracts of title representing a great
variety of documents and proceedings involving property rights. A
copy of each abstract is purchased by each member of the class and a
detailed study of matters of form and substanc.e is made from the
conveyancer's point of view, and with regard to the laws of different States. Thorough work in this course ought to equip the
student as a practical conveyancer at the time of his entering upon
his profession. No one may take this course who has not taken the
courses Property I and II.
Trial Practice-The courses on Procedure and Practice give a
systematic and detailed survey of the rules of law. The course on
Evidence includes an auxiliary drill in the use of the rules. Tlie
Practice Court gives the third year student opportunity to become
practically familiar with these rules by the application of them in
litigation managed by himself. The sessions of the Court are held
weekly, ~n Thursday evenings, for two hours. During each session
from one to three cases are tried, with and without a jury; and
other cases are disposed of in various aspects. Between the sessions,
causes are being prepared and advanced from stage to stage by the
student-attorneys in charge. While the proc.eedings are dispatched
at the hearings by the respective attorneys, all members of the class
are required to attend, to make notes, and to report on the work
done. A faithful attention to this course ought to give the graduate
experience in the use of legal knowledge that will materially assist

NORTHWESTERN

UNIVERSITY LAW

SCHOOL

him in starting in his profession. The systematic pursuit of such
a course under an experienced instructor affords the student results more thorough, accurate, and extensive than can be obtained
in the desultory service of a law office during a long period. A copy
of the printed Rules of the Practice Court will be mailed upon
request.

Editorial Wark-To edit and digest for the profession the opinion
and record of a decided case is of great value in cultivating the skill
required in preparing briefs and analyzing precedents. Each year
not more than seven second and third-year students of known ability
are appointed Associate Editors of the Illinois Law Review, to digest
manuscript decisions of the Appellate Court. ·

Legal Clinic-Members of the third-year class are assigned for
nine hours a week for one semester to the main office and the district
offices of the Legal Aid Bureau of the United Charities of Chicago,
where they work under the direction of a member of the Law School
faculty and the five attorneys of the Bureau. In addition, the class
meets one hour a week at the Law School for instruction. An examination is given at the end of the course and a passing grade required
of all students before graduation.

3

�LAW ALUMNI MEETING, OCTOBER 10, 1923

(2) To hear announcements of certain very important and cheering contributions for the new law school, and (3) To celebrate
(1) and (2). But there is one more purpose of the meeting
which is and will be a great surprise, even to Dean Wigmore,
himself, and which cannot be revealed until near the end of
the evenmg.
"However, the program will be brief and everyone is promised now faithfully that he will be able to catch his train , regardless of the time of its departure-even if it has alr eady
gone! The number of speakers is few, and each speaker has
been limited as to time. Dean Roscoe Pound, who had been
expected as the principal speaker, at the last moment was unable to come. The justices of the Supreme Court of Illino"is
were invited, but could not come because of their duties while
the court is in session at Springfield; they all sent letters of
regret.
"So far as my knowledge extends, this is the first meeting
of the Law School A lumni Association which has been honored
by attendance of members of the Board of Trustees of the University in their official capacity. In some measure their attendance tonight typifies the growing union of the law school
with the new Greater Northwestern Movement. But, we may
be pardoned for remarking, we conceive that their attendance
is due also to the example of achievement set by the law school
which they are proud to observe.
"By your suffrage, it is now my inestimable privilege to
announce to you that one who has honored us by her gracious
presence tonight has elected to make one of our dreams come
true, in honoring the memory of him most dear to her. Let me
tell you the story in her own words, by her authority. A letter
was handed to me only a few hours ago. It was written by
Mrs. Levy Mayer, is addressed to Dean Wigmore and bears date
of October 8, 1923. It reads as follows:
4

�GIFT OF LEVY MA YER HALL

"October 8, 1923."
"Dear l'tir. Wigmore:
"It is my earnest desire to erect, in the city of Chicago, a suitable memorial to my beloved husband; and I can think of no more
appropriate and enduring form than a building, in which shall be
educated the future generations of larvyers, who will learn thus to
revere his memory in the great city where his career was made. I
have therefore set aside the sum of $500,000 to erect a Law School
for Northwestern University, on the McKinloclc Memorial Campus.
That is all I have to say; e,vcept to add that the sooner the building
is erected the better I shall be satisfied. I intend to go abroad again
some time next year, and I do not wish, if possible, to leave this
country until I have seen the 'Levy Mayer Hall' with my own eyes.
"Yours sincerely,

[Signed]

"RACHEL MAYER."

"(Mrs. LEVY MAYER)"

[Prolonged applause and cheering.]

"WHEREAS, the Alumni Association of the Law School of
Northwestern University shares with the bar of Chicago an.d the
legal profession of the entire country the deep sense of loss in the
sudden termination of the career of one of the most brilliant of
!l.merica's lawyers, Levy llayer-a leader of the bar, a lover of
learning, a patriotic organizer of war service, a man of comprehensive
interests and sympathies, and a devot ed husband and father; and,
"WHEREAS, it is now made lcnown to this Association that,
in memory of her husband and his career at the bar of Chicago, Mrs.
Levy Mayer has set aside the sum of Five Hundred Thousand Dollars
as a gift to the University for the erection of a building to be the
home of the law school on the neu: Alexander McKinloclc Memorial
Campus in Chicago, and to bear the name of Levy Mayer Hall:
5

�LAW ALUMNI MEETING, OCTOBER 10, 1923
"BE

IT RESOLVED:

"First: That N orthwestern University Larv School Alumni Association places on r ecord its hearty appreciation of this g enerous
gift as a fitting tribute to a gr eat lawyer and an appropriate agency
of perp etual service to that profession and that community in rvhich
his career w as made, and that this Association proffers its sincerest
thanlcs to the d evoted rvoman rvho has so rvisely chosen this form of
honor to her husband's memory.
"S econd: That the S ecretary of th e Association cause to be
made an engro ssed copy of this resolution to be given to Mrs. Mayer,
and that another copy be placed in the cornerstone of Levy Mayer

Hall."

" I move the adoption of thi s resolution by a ri sing vot e."
The President: "You have heard the reading of the r esoluti on and a motion for its adoption. I s there a second to the
motion?"
Judge Frederic R. De Young, '97 : "I second the motion."
The President: "The motion has been seconded by Judge
DeYoung and many others. All in fa vor of the motion will
rise."
[Ev eryon e present on the floor thereupon arose, and the
motion was declared unanimously carried.]
The President: "It is the good fortune of Northwestern
University to have as its head during these joyous times Dr.
Walter Dill Scott, who as president of the University has shown
great interest in the law school. Him I now present, to respond
to the gift and to the occasion. President Scott."
President Scott: "In institutions of higher learning we have
ceased to think in terms of competition and are devoting ourselves to generous cooperation. Every advance step taken by
one school serves but as a stimulus to inspire all others. I am
6

�GIFT OF LEVY MA YER HALL

proud of Northw estern University Law School, not because it
has taken first place in competition w ith other law schools, but
because it has taken advanced steps that have inspired all 111stitutions interested in advancing the science of justice.
"I am proud because Northwestern was the first and 1s
the only law school in the United States requiring four years'
legal training after a three year college preparatory course. This
is the highest requirement for legal preparation in any law
school.
"I am proud because Northwestern was the first law school
to require of the students an acquaintance with the history and
traditions of the Anglo-American bench and bar.
"I am proud because Northwestern was the first law school
to offer and make compulsory a course in voice training and
forensic elocution for the benefit of law students.
"I am proud because Northwestern was the first law school
to require of the students some knowledge of legal history, jurisprudence or philosophy.
"I am proud because Northwestern was the first law school
to give a place in the curriculum to problems of contemporary
legislation. Topics of the day which occupy the attention of
legislatures and bar associations are handled in the classes, and
credit is given the students for meritorious work in pioneering.
"I am proud because Northwestern was the first and is still
one of the very few law schools in the world that requires its
students to have experience in a legal clinic, a dispensary of
justice to the poor.
"I am proud because Northwestern was the first law school
to encourage the study of modern criminal science. Its faculty
summoned the first national confere nce on criminal law and
criminology.
T

�LAW ALUMNI MEETING, OCTOBER 10, 1923

"I am proud because Northwestern was the first law school
to establish a law review dealing specifically with state legislation and decisions as a subject for concentrated interest of
the state bench and bar.
"I am proud because Northwestern was the first law school
to establish courses of lectures dealing with the whole scope
of state law as a subject for scientific study and critique.
"I am proud because Northwestern University Law School
possesses the Elbert H. Gary law library of 60,000 volumes.
This library includes one of the most complete collections of
legal historical materials in the world. This library is the result
of the continued interest of Judge Elbert H. Gary and of the
untiring efforts of our Librarian and our Dean.
"I am proud because Northwestern has always sustained a
faculty of eminent scholars. These men have been experts in
their fields and have commanded the admiration of their students, of the Chicago Bar and the scholars in their respective
fields throughout the world. However, for twenty years the
position of preeminence among his peers has been sustained by
Dean John H. Wigmore.
"And now finally, I am proud because Northwestern University Law School has made possible a memorial more permanent than any memorial constructed of granite or of steel, a
memorial which will perpetuate the life and the memory of the
distinguished member of the Chicago Bar, a memorial that will
enrich the lives of thousands of aspiring students, that will advance the science of justice in the world and wili provide a
proper meetingplace for students and jurists, a hall whose magnificence is revealed in the drawings which are tonight made
available for the first time"._the drawings here presented of the
Levy Mayer Hall.

�LAW ALUMNI MEETING, OCTOBER 10, 1923

"I am proud because of our friend who is our guest tonight
-one who in unselfish devotion is providing earthly immortality
to her bereaved husband by extending his influence into the lives
of the youth of all generations. We are justly proud of all the
achievements of the Northwestern University Law School, but
our chief pride tonight is the achievement of a friendship, the
friendship of Mrs. Levy Mayer."
The President: "Chicago, with its suburbs, is said to be
the only metropolitan community having within its confines two
major universities-Northwestern University and the University
of Chicago. So, also, Chicago is the only city having two major
law schools of first rank-the law schools of these two great
universities. Tonight we are exceedingly fortunate in having
as our guest a man who has been connected with the faculties
of the two schools-Professor Frederic C. Woodward. Prof.
Woodward for a number of years served Northwestern, and
always will be remembered as one of the founders and the first
editor of the Illinois Law Review. He resigned from Northwestern to become dean of the law school of Leland Stanford
University. For the past several years he has been a member
of the faculty of the law school of the University of Chicago,
and he comes tonight, beloved of students of both schools, to
join with us in celebrating our good fortune. Professor Woodward."
Professor Woodward: "I am glad to say that as I look out
over this audience and recognize here and there the faces of
former students, I feel quite as much at home as if I were
addressing a meeting of the Alumni of the Law School of the
University of Chicago. Probably you are already familiar with
the story of the twin boys who resembled each other so closely
that their friends were often unable to distinguish them, and
whose father decided to send one to Yale and the other to Harvard in the hope that the dissimilar environments of New Haven
10

�GIFT OF LEVY MA YER HALL

and Cambridge might at least re sult in the development of superficial differences between them. In due course both boys were
graduated. The one who was graduated from Harvard was
regarded by his fellow s as the worst 'rough-neck' in hi s class;
the one who took his degree at Yale ·w as unanimously voted the
most refined and polished gentleman of hi s class. But when
they returned home, it was as difficult as ever to tell them apart.
I believe, and I hope that you believe, that there is no such
difference as this story suggests, between the graduates of
Northwestern and the graduates of the University of Chicago.
"I appreciate the generosity of the committee, in issuing an
invitation to one who is notoriously engaged in aiding and abetting a rival institution. It occurred to me that possib ly the committee thought that it might be well, by way of contrast with
the other speakers, to h ear from one who could be depended
upon to deal with the virtues and vices of Dean Wigmore, at
least in a spirit of detachment, if not in a spirit of criticism.
But if such was their purpose they will be di sappointed.
"In the first place, I have not discovered that the Dean
has any vices. Those of you who are so fortunate as to be
acquainted with Mrs. \i\Tigmore know that the Dean finds it
excessively easy to be a mod el of domestic virtue. And those
of you who know Mr. Crossley, as, of course, all of you doknow that the Dean would not be permitted to acquire any
professional vices, even if he were disposed so to do. In the
second place, I happen to be one of those-and they are not
few-who owe whatever success they may have achieved, in
large measure to the inspiration, the encouragement and the
active assistance of Dean Wigmore. So I am not only one of
the army which admires his brilliant scholarship, his tireless
energy, and his passion for justice and order; I am one of you
who are his loyal and devoted friends. It is a great pleasure
to rejoice with you in his safe and happy return.
11

�LAW ALUMNI MEETING, OCTOBER 10, 1923

"Turning to the oth er purpose of this meeting, and speaking now not only for myself but for my associates in the faculty
of the University of Chicago, I wish heartily to congratulate
Mrs. i\!Iayer up on her m ost generou s gift, and with equal heartin ess t o congratulate the Northwest ern University Law School
upon the assurance of a beautiful and well equipped building.
The er ection of the Levy Mayer Memorial will be a source of
g enuine gratification to us. For we know that the Northwestern
Law School, by reason of th e genius of Dean \i\Tigmore's leadership, the ability of its faculty, and the character of its work,
is deserving of thi s good fortune. And we b elieve that Mrs.
Mayer's gift will ultimately benefit, not only the Northwestern
Law School, but the Law School of the U niversity of Chicago,
and indeed the law schools of a ll of our great universities. For
it marks the recognition by public spirited men and women of
the fact that the ad equate endowment and development of
good law schools is essential to the welfare of thi s great democracy . I sincerely hope and confidently expect that Mrs. Mayer's
example will be followed by many others, and that the cause
of sound and scientific legal education will th ereby be rapidly
advanced.
" A nd now, in closing, may I express the hope that in every
struggle for the advancement of legal education, and for the
uplifting of the ethical standard s of the bar, the alumni of the
Northweste rn Law School and the alumni of the Law School
of the University of Chicago may be found fighting shoulder
to shoulder!"
The President:

"This meeting has been in session now for

some twenty -five minutes.

It is about time for the announce-

ment of another splendid gift, although the a nnouncem ent has
been made elsewhere heretofore.

12

�GIFT OF LEVY MA YER HALL

"On December 29, 1922, Judge Elbert H. Gary, an alumnus
of the Class of 1867, delivered to the Board of Trustees of
Northwestern University one hundred thousand dollars in bank
stock, the income from which shall be used for the endowment,
maintenance and upkeep of the books in the Elbert H. Gary
Library of Law."
[ Prolonged applause and cheering.]
The President:

"We have just begun !

"You have heard President Scott tonight m ention that
Northwestern law school was the first law school to require
four years' legal training, changing the curriculum from three
to four years of study. By that token, Northwestern has the
first fourth year class. Its members are present with the representatives of the stud ent body tonight. We have asked one
of the members, Mr. James F. Oates, Jr. , '24, to respond. Mr.
Oates."
Mr. Oates: "It is my privilege to respond this evenmg on
behalf of the student body of the Northwestern University Law
School who represent a group that is about to start on the
period of their professional life, which is known to u s as the
'starvation period.' Perhaps this can be better illustrated by
repeating a story which it was our privilege to hear the Dean
tell not so many days ago. It seems that a young man had
graduated from the Law School with ambitions to ally himself with one of the great law firm s of this great city. He
had hopes that by this connection he might speedily acquire
the prominence which industry warrants. His ambitions were
realized and he became a part of one of the great legal offices
of the city. Meeting Dean Wigmore on the street one day, he
told of hi s success, and the Dean asked for Mr. Jones, the
great chief of the huge law firm. The young man responded,
'Well, I have only seen him once or twice. The other day
13

�LAW ALUMNI MEETING, OCTOBER 10, 1923

he came to my room, put his head in and said, "Do you belong
here," and I said "Yes, sir," feeling that the time of recognition
for my hard labors had come. He then said, 'Go out and buy
me a package of cigarettes !' "
"Some great man has said ( or should have said) that every
man requires either a great business to which he may devote
his energies, or the love of a fine woman, or the admiration
and respect for a man whom he desires to emulate. While
some of the men at the Law School are not, as Kipling says,
'Riding alone,' and while there are others who contemplate
matrimonial ventures in the near future, it is certain that none of
us are captains of industry. Yet we all find the third of these
three important factors in a man's life in our love, admiration,
affection and respect for Dean John Henry Wigmore. The
student body desires also to express its appreciation for all
that he has done for them individually. He has m eant a great
deal to all of us in his personal relations, and we can never
repay, and only attempt to express our sincere appreciation
for our privilege in becoming acquainted and connected with
him. Dean Wigmore and his associates at the Law School have
given us, in our legal education, something more than a mere
senes of rules of law. At least Dean Wigmore and hi s associates have sown the seeds. Whether they will bear fruit or
not remains to be seen. We have had presented for u s the
culture, the philosophy and the development of the great principles of Anglo-American law. We have learned that law is
an applied science and that the lawyer is a professional man
and not a tradesman, and while efficiency in the application
of legal rules is most important, we have been taught to realize
that the theory and the development of legal doctrines is also
essential. It has been said that the theoretical ideas of legal
education as described by Dean Wigmore and his associates
are idealistic, but they have a distinct value.
14

�GIFT OF LEVY MA YER HALL

"The student body of Northwestern University Law School
also wishes to express to you, Mrs. Mayer, our sincere appreciation of your magnificent gift to the Northwestern University
Law .3chool. We shall ever strive to be worthy of the name,
Levy Mayer, which our new hall shall bear. We shall ever be
mindful of the obligation to live up to the honor and integrity
for which his name has stood.
"In closing, I would like to say that while we all know
that idealism without efficiency is futile, we must also remember
that efficiency without idealism is fatal."
The President (Homer H. Cooper, '14): "Fellow Alumni,
the law school of which we are representatives now points with
pride to a record of unparalleled accomplishments covering sixty
years. Standing at the forefront of American law schools,
Northwestern points to ten particular distinguishing facts, nine
of which you have heard the president of our university read
from a forthcoming pamphlet under the caption, Unique Features.
"I wish now to talk to you briefly about a tenth feature.
"This week Chicago and the nation are celebrating the
thirtieth anniversary of the World's Columbian Exposition held
in 1893. That same year a tall, heavily mustached young professor left the chair of Anglo-American law in a university in
Tokio, Japan, to become a member of the faculty of Northwestern University. In 1901, that professor became dean of
the law school. So Chicago and the nation now celebrate also
the thirtieth anniversary of Mr. Wigmore's connection with
Northwestern University Law School, and we are in the twentythird year of his deanship.
"The forward strides of the school, its international reputation, and its future, with all credit to his able collaborators,
15

�LAW ALUMNI MEETING, OCTOBER 10, 1923

are due, in the greatest measure, to him. For thirty years, he
has given the best in him to its success. As dean and teacher,
he has extended his great energies to the education :1£ the
profession. Yet he has found time to participate in so many
other activities that his name is found at the head of innumerable lists of notabl e . It is not necessary for me now to recite
again to you his accompli shments in the war department from
1917 to 1919. All of u s know of his great record there.
"Colonel Wigmore came home from "\i\Tashington weak
body from overwork, but not weak in spirit.

111

Immediately

upon hi s r eturn in the spring of 1919 and with resumption of
his duties in the faculty, he instituted a campaign for a fund
of $1,500,000 to build a new law school and t o endow it.
can realize how hard he worked in thi s campaign!

Few

Simultane-

ously he went through the exhausting ordeal of maintaining the
stability of the law school while the curriculum was cha nged
from three to four years of study.

His duties as author and

editor became increasingly heavy. He had had no rest for a
number of years, and it soon became apparent to his associates
and to all who were in close contact with him that his seemingly
exhaustless strength must' give way.

Finally, in the autumn of

1922, Mr. "\i\Tigmore yielded to the admonitions of his friends
and to the advice of physicians who told him that it was imperative to take a long absolute rest.

A decision was then

made that Dean Wigmore would consolidate hi s work in the
law school for the two semesters of the current school year
( without particular regard to the hardship it might work upon
his stud ents!) and would leave for a genuine vacation in Europe
to cover the second semester and th e summer months.
"With Mrs. Wigmore to go along and enforce the commands of his doctor, Dean Wigmore left the latter part of
February or early in March of this year.

"Enroute to Europe, Dean Wigmore stopped in Washington, D. C. , to attend a meeting of one hundred eminent
legal scholars who, under Senator Root, organized an a ssociation to restate and rewrite the body of Anglo-American law.
By this association, Dean Wigmore was selected to restate and
rewrite the law of all subjects from A to K inclusive, subjects
L to Z being assigned to the other ninety-nine eminent legal
scholars.
"A compartment was engaged on the Pennsylvania Railroad from Washington to New York.

In it Dean Wigmore dic-

tated simultaneously to three stenographers in three languagesEnglish, Norman-French, and Wigmorese. By the time the train
had arrived in New York, he had completed the restatement and
rewriting of subjects from the letter A to the letter D inclusive,
and had ventured into the letter E so far as Estoppel.
"After boarding the steamship, Dean Wigmore started on
the letter E for evidence.

Then he discovered that his famous

Treatise on Evidence, published in 1904, had become obsolete.
Being without a stenographer, he sat down in his stateroom and
rewrote it in long-hand in five volumes,- making two copies of
the manuscript, so that if one were lost the other would be saved
for posterity. The manuscript was completed by the time the
boat had docked in its European port. One copy was mailed
back to Boston to be printed.
"The party proceeded to Monte Carlo.

Here, I am in-

formed, Mr. Wigmore eluded Mrs. Wigmore and violated certain prophylactic rules of exclusion as applied to the autoptic
proference of a roulette wheel. The results of his experience,
as you all know, are now incorporated in that world-famous
book, Wigmore's System on Breaking the Bank at Monte Carlo,
in two volumes-without an index!
17

�LAW ALUMNI MEETING, OCTOBER 10, 1923

"Moving on to Rome, Mr. Wigmore resumed the rewriting
of the restatement of the body of the law, getting as far as the
letter I. After completing the sections on Insanity and Intoxicating Liquors, he met Mussolini, whereupon the rewriting and
restating of International Law was indefinitely postponed. A
few weeks were enjoyably passed in perusal of the Pandects and
the Ju stinian Code in the original.
"From Italy, Dean Wigmore invaded Switzerland. Here
he presided at a gathering of Swiss legislators, and organized
The Cantonment fo r U niform Canteen Laws. As a result, we
shall expect uniformity in the making of Swiss cheese!
"This performance· attracted the attention of the League
of Nations, an association organized and existing under and
by virtue of the Treaty of Versailles, having its principal place
of business in the City of Geneva, and being duly licensed to
do no business in any European country except Greece. Dean
Wigmore was promptly signed up as a member of the League.
If we may believe current press reports, Dean Wigmore then
made the unprecedented discovery that the League of Nations
is functioning but to be successful requires the services of a
Kenesaw Mountain Landis.
"The next stop was at The Hague, situs of the Permanent
Tribunal of International Justice. This tribunal, as you all
know, is the court of last retort among the nations. Simultaneously the U. S. S. George Washington arrived in port with
a cargo of Wigmore on Evidence, Second Edition, and our dean,
himself, personally, sold copies to each of the justices of the
tribunal, which they, emulating our distinguished alumnus,
Judge Harry Olson, promptly charged to the county.
"Homewardbound, Dean Wigmore paused briefly in London
to address the barristers and solicitors of Westminster on 'The
Liability to Guests by Landlords of the Inns of the Temple.'
18

"A boat was caught at Liverpool, and during the homeward
passage three dozen lead pencils were worn out.
"Nine days later he burst into the office of Albert Kocourek,
editor of the Illinois Law Review, and tossed on his desk an
eleven pound manuscript on the stationery of the Twentieth
Century Limited, containing an article to be published in the
next issue of the Review, entitled 'Evidentiary Value of a Verdict of Not Guilty in Herrin and in Lake County, Illinois.'
"Now then, our dean, having had this perfectly bully vacation and absolute rest, and being entirely refreshed in body,
mind and spirit, is home again and ready to go to work."
Dean Wigmore: "You ask me, Mr. Chairman, about my
visit to Europe; and I will offer you my impressions on some
topics of Universal interest to American lawyers-Fascism in
Italy, the League of Nations, and the Permanent Court of International Justice.
"We spent three months in Italy, and every day I read
the Popolo d'Italia, the Fascist newspaper, and talked with Italians of all classes. Fascism has saved Italy-there is no doubt
about that. It began as a union of defense against bolshevism
and the sabotage of factories. It showed its capacity for greater
political duties. Last December, it came into power. It has
suppressed beggary and petty graft. It has sent everybody to
work. It has cut down public extravagance and restored the
national finances. Mr. Mussolini may be termed the Roosevelt
of Italy. He has been called a dictator; he is hardly that. But
you would have some idea of what Fascism mean s in Italy if
you could imagine the American Legion, the American Federation of Labor, the American Farmers' Federation, and the Rotary Clubs, all merged into one nation-wide semi-military organization, with our Charles Dawes at the head!
19

�LAW ALUMNI MEETING, OCTOBER 10, 1923

"As to the League of Nations, I had intended merely to
satisfy a natural curiosity by stopping over for a few days at
Geneva, during the Assembly's session in September. But,
while at Laka Como, one day late in July, I received a telegram
from the Secretary of the League, inviting me to act upon the
League's Committee on Intellectual Cooperation. The Chairman of this Committee is Prof. Bergson, the famous French
philosopher, and among its members are Prof. Einstein and
Mme. Curie (who received Northwestern's degree two years
ago), a lso Prof. George Hale of this country (brother of our
eminent Chicago Alumnus, Wm. B. Hale, '01). Believing this
to be a good opportunity to study the League from the inside,
I accepted, and spent a month at Geneva.
"As to the League itself, I will here say only that I saw
nothing of a super-State. I saw only earnest delegations of
capable experts, from 54 nations of the world, seeking to reconci le prejudices, to remove misunderstandings, to cure international ab uses, and to overcome obstacles to peace. Unselfish
effort to get together in mutual assistance-such is the single
note at Geneva today, as nowhere else in the world. However,
if you care to hear more about it, I am preparing a lecture, to
be illustrated with colored lantern slides, ready next January;
and I will invite you all then to the School to hear my simple
tale of 'The Work and the Workings of the League of Nations.'
"From Geneva we went to Holland; and at the Hague
visited the superb Peace Palace, the gift of Andrew Carnegie,
where now sits the Permanent Court of International Justice.
There I paid my respects to Judge Moore, our eminent countryman, and to one or two other members whom I know. That
Court has, in two years, had 8 cases brought for decision.
However, our Federal Supreme Court, now so august in the
·world's esteem, was compelled to adjourn during the first two
years of its existence, because it had no cases on file. Civilized
20

�GIFT OF LEVY MA YER HALL

nations have dreamed for five centuries past of a \i\T orld Court
of Justice. And at last it has come true. It is the final keystone in the triumphal arch of World Justice. Let us hope that,
among the signatories of the treaty which created this epochmaking tribunal, our own noble country may soon be numbered.
"Justice! Justice! That is the word that inspires our profession. There is no greater public service than the dispensing
of Justice. It has been so in every epoch of history, and in
every civilization; and, in the oldest records of national life
now known, the Egyptian people, 4,000 years before Christ,
placed among the highest in their theology the Goddess of J ustice. It will always be so, to the end of Time. And it is so
today, in the United States of America.
"But Justice can be administered only through men,skilled persons, agents of Justice. In the world's history those
system of Law have longest survived which produced a learned
and skilled profession of law, to preserve the system of Law,
and to ensure Justice.
"Having just returned from a sojourn

111

four countries of

Europe, I think it meet to say that I am proud of our own
country; proud of our American citizenship; proud of our profession; proud of our legal education. We need not hesitate to
assert that legal education in America is far advanced over any
country in Europe. On its practical side, at least, the difference
is almost as great as between a man and a child. But, our profession and our education have their dangers, their defects,
vvhich need constantly to be watched and improved. N o need to
enumerate them here. The preparation of the coming generation of our lawyers needs the most thoughtful attention-needs
all the heartiest support that we can give it. The whole community ought to realize that this is a vital public service to be
21

�LAW ALUMNI MEETING, OCTOBER 10, 1923

sustained. And because of this need, and because of the consc10usness of it on the part of my colleagues and myself, it is
our ambition in legal education to keep Northwestern at the
Front!

"This cannot be done-cannot possibly be done, without
new material resources.
"And that is one reason why we are here tonight. Because
no School can obtain these resource s, and make thi s progress,
without the support of its ALUMNI- By 'support,' I mean moral
support in the community, and the active work necessary
to interest the community in maintaining the School's services.
With the superb gift of Levy Mayer Hall from the devoted
woman who sits here tonight, the building that is to be an adequate, handsome, and perpetual home for the School's work is
assured. I offer my homage to her, and to the memory of her
brilliant husband. But it remains to assure the expansion and
perpetuation of that School's work itse lf.
"You are the very ones who know its urgent needs.

You
are the ones who can best 'tell the world' about it-and thus
save the Faculty from blushingly violating their modesty by
telling about it them se lves!
"You can afford to do thi s now; for the need and the
chance will probably never be presented again in the lifetime
of any one of you. And I have the earnest wish-I almost, Mr.
Chairman, said the right, to see these great things realized
before I make my exit from the stage. As you know, I have
seen thirty years of Alumni go out from the School-thirty
years ! And I am proud of the share we have had in shaping
your careers.
"Now, I call upon you, 111 your turn, to set your hand to
the work, and make the Law School of Northwestern safe, for
service to the generation that is to follow you!

�LAW ALUMNI MEETING, OCTOBER 10, 1923

"Primarily, it is the Alumni that make the School what
it is in public esteem. And if you are grateful for w hat the
School has done for your careers-if you wish to be more proud
of what it can do for the profession in the coming generation,
NOvV is the accepted time! Now-or never-is the time to
come to its help . For now it is crossing the Rubicon, to a
greater field of ser vice. It cannot turn back-and it WILL
NOT!" [Prolonged applause.]
The President: "Now we are getting close to the end of
the meeting. Only two speakers are to be heard from, and
the s urprise is at hand . Mr. Hayes McKinney, chairman of the
Campaign Committee of the Law School, will not address you."
Mr. McKinney: "Mr. Chairman, with your permission and
by the indulgence of the ladies and gentlemen here this evening,
I shall take alittle time to tell of the work of the Campaign.
"As a matter of history you should know that the Campaign which was conducted in 1919 to raise a Building and
Endowment Fund of not less than $1,500,000 succeeded in procuring pledges from alumni and former attendants at the School,
amounting to over $200,000-so mething like $210,000; that a
very substantial part of thi s has been paid, and that a part of
the amount collected has been applied toward the purchase of
the Alexander McKinlock Memorial Campus on the No rth
Side. The development of thi s project is proceeding in a logical and orderly fashion. Having acquired a site for the Law
School in connection with the other professional schools, it
has now become possible through the very generous gift made
by Mrs. Levy Mayer, and announced here tonight, to proceed
to the erection of a Law School building, Levy Mayer Hall.
Only today, we received from the architect the sketches which
you see on thi s wall, and which you are invi ted to in spect at
the adjournment of the meeting. But the erection of this very
24

�GIFT OF LEVY MA YER HALL

beautiful building which is shown in these sketches and which
has been made possible by Mrs. Mayer's gift, does not complete
th e work of th e Committee on which I am acting as Chairman;
for the building is yet to be furnished and equipped; and what
is just as important, the School must be adequately endowed,
for a Law School is more than a building of brick and mortar;
it must contain an organi zation and a faculty, and it is our
hope in thi s Campaign to procure fund s sufficient to furnish
and equip Levy Mayer Hall, and also to put the Law School
111 a financial sense, at least, in a position of independence.
"Please do not mistake my meanmg; I do not mean that
the Law School shall be independent of Northwestern University, for it is our wish and intent that it shall always be
an integral part of a closely organized university. But it would
be of tremendous benefit to the Law School, and would substantially lighten the burden upon the Trustees of Northwestern
University, if the Law School were sufficiently endowed to be
practically self supporting.
"Our Committee has discussed this matter of endowment
many times, and we have a decided feeling that if a considerable number of specially designated Chairs could be endowed
so as to provide for the support of a strong and permanent
faculty, both the Law School and Northwestern University
would be greatly strengthened. The original plan provided
for such special foundations, and suggested the names of former
professors and eminent friends of the School from among whom
a choice could be made-Abraham Lincoln, Henry Booth,
Lyman Trumbull, Harvey Hurd, James High, William Farwell,
Henry Schofield, James Bradwell, Thomas Drummond, Wirt
Dexter, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Henry Blodgett, Charles Linthicum, John M. Harlan, Thomas Hoyne, David Dudley Field,
Julius Rosenthal, Nathan Davis, Albert Kales. The Rosenthal
and the Linthicum Foundations have already been started.

"Many of the men here tonight, who, like myself, sat under
th e in struction of Henry Schofield, would perhaps se lect the
Henry Schofield Chair of Constitutional Law. But there is
another Chair, the endowment of which would, I am sure, appeal
to all of you, and which I regard as entitled to first consideration-a chair to be known as the John Henry Wigmore Chair
of Evidence.
"In order to place thi s suggestion 111 definite form, and in
order that the Law Alumni Trustees and the Trustees of Northwestern University may know what I believe to be the feelings
of the members of this Association on the subject, I desire to
present tonight a resolution for your cons id eration. That resoluti on I will now read.

RESOLVED

by Northwestern Law School A lumni As-

'First: That t h e JOH N HENRY WIGMORE CHAIR OF Ev1DENCE be established and maintained in and for the law school
of Northwestern University.
'Second: That the income from a principal sum of not less

than One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars be made available in
perpetuity for the endowment of such Chair.
'Third: That the first One Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars of subscriptions to be obtained by the campaign committee
of the Law school alumni in the ensuing campaign for endowment fund s be pledged to such Chair.
'Fourth: That Law Alumni Trustees, as custodians of
funds subscribed in a prior campaign of the law school alumni,
be and they hereby are authorized and empowered to transfer
such portion of th e said funds now or hereafter coming into
their hands as such trustees and not heretofore otherwise re26

stricted, as, in their discretion, may be necessary or convenient
to endow the John Henry Wigmore Chair of Evidence.
'Fifth: That the Secretary of the Association transmit a
copy of this resolution to the Board of Trustees of Northwestern
University, and that the cooperation of the Board of Trustees
be sought to carry out the provisions of this Resolution; and
that a copy hereof be delivered to the Law Alumni Trustees.' "
The President: "The motion has been seconded by many
members. Before you vote, please understand that this resolution authorizes the Law Alumni Trustees to devote fund s to
the Wigmore Chair of Evidence. We have a record of those
present. If the motion carries, the establishment of the Chair
is assured. All in favor of the motion please indicate by saying
Aye."
[A chorus of affirmative votes was heard, and upon the
contrary being put, there was silence. The president announced
that the motion had carried unanimously.]
The President: "Now, Mr. McKinney proposes to explain,
with the assistance of Mr. Harold J. Clark, '15, just how we
hope to raise fund s to endow the Wigmore Chair of Evidence
and other needs of the school. There will be no so licitation of
funds, as promised. But by that same promise there shall be
a so licitation of your services. Let everyone remain if they
are interested. Indeed, if anyone be not interested, let him not
leave this room by the ordinary exit, but down the fire escape
where numerous policemen are stationed to see that anyone
going down does not break into the sleeping rooms of guests
of thi s hotel. Mr. McKinney."
Mr. McKinney: "Mr. Chairman, if you will grant me a
few minutes more, I would like to tell of the present organization and plans of our Committee.
27

�LAW ALUMNI MEETING, OCTOBER 10, 1923

"I am very
am confident of
energetic men,
ticular portions

proud to be working with this Committee and
success, through the efforts of these young and
who have assumed the responsibility for parof the work.

"Mr. Roswell B. Mason, '97, organized the Special Gifts
work in a very careful and efficient manner, and carried it on
until public duties required him to give it up. That work has
now been taken over and will be carried to a conclusion by Mr.
Ernest Palmer, '10. The work of the Special Gifts Committee
relates to the solicitation of large gifts, i. e. over $1,000.
"The work of the Committee at Large-that is, of the out
of town men, those not residing in Chicago or any near-by
places, is under the Chairmanship of the Secretary of the Law
School-Mr. Frederic B. Crossley, '99.
"The Publicity work is under the Chairmanship of Mr.
Homer H. Cooper, '14, our Chairman of this evening, who has
so capably demonstrated on this and other occasions his capacity for publicity work.
"The work of suburban solicitation for the campaign will
be under the Chairmanship of Mr. C. Lysle Smith, '20.
"And at last, there is perhaps the most important and exacting work of all, that of the Chicago campaign, which will
be under the Chairmanship of Mr. Harold J. Clark, '15.
"In handling this campaign the Committee will recognize

the fact that any man who subscribed to the 1919 campaign is
entitled to be approached in the most friendly manner. I do
not mean that there will be any unfriendly presentation to those
who have not heretofore subscribed, but as to those who did
subscribe to the 1919 campaign, it will be recognized that they
are entitled to special consideration for their former subscrip28

tions, even while we are hoping that the four years which have
intervened have brought to them a prosperity which will enable
them to repeat or at least augment their former s ubscriptions.
"In the Chicago campaign Mr. Clark, ' 15, the Chicago Chai r-

man, will need all of the aid which can be obtained, which means
the aid of all of you and others.
"In conclusion, therefore, Mr. Chairman, I hope you will
ask Mr. Clark, the Chicago Chairman to gi ve you so mewhat in
detail the exact plans of the Chicago campaign."
The President:

"Mr. Harold

Chicago end of the campaign, will conclude the meeting.
invites your earnest attention .

He

Mr. Clark."

Mr. Clark: "Mr. Chairman, Mrs. Mayer, Fellow Alumni
and other friend s : We are now entering on the second phase
of the campaign which was launched in 1919-20. The goal origin ally set by the Law Alumni Trustees was $1,500,000; of
which they allotted $500,000 for the erection of a building and
$1,000,000 for the endowment of instruction. The original campaign produced subscription s totalling $210,000; and I think,
Mr. Chairman, that it is very proper that we recognize,
at thi s time, the splendid contributions already made. While
the total amount is not large, the sum represents a good many
sacrifices on the part of a number of the younger alumni, and
a great deal of hard work on the part of all the committeemen.
"The work of the original campaign was only missionary
work.

In 1920 the goal of one and a half millions looked almost

impossible of attainment.

The magnificent gift made by Mrs.

Mayer gives us our second wind, and assures the building in
the immediate future.

It makes the raising of the endowment

only a question of time.

29

�LAW ALUMNI MEETING, OCTOBER 10, 1923

"The Trustees have now fixed upon a goal of $1,800,000,
having added $300,000 to provide for the operation of Levy
Mayer Hall and to equip and furnish the building.
"The Committee has prepared a chart showing graphically
the amount sought to be rai sed and the sums already contributed [ exhibiting chart]. This circular chart bears a striking
resemblance to that great American institution, the PIE. It
1s our Law School Pie, and we are going out to get it.
"You may feel that the Committee already has plenty of
'crust' for a good many pies; but, on the contrary, we still need
lots of 'dough.' The shaded portions indicate the amounts already raised , and the unshaded sectors show what we are going
after in the campaign. You see we still need lots of filling for
the inside.
"We are going out to raise this money now! An intensive
campaign wi ll be conducted among the Chicago Alumni during
the week commencing October 22nd. There are 2,300 A lumni
and former students of the law school living in Chicago and
vicinity. To reach all of these men is quite a task, and we must
have the co-operation of every loyal alumnus.
"Mr. Wigmore has sounded a challenge tonight which we
cannot but accept! The land for the new school has alr eady
been purchased, and a magnificent building will be erected at
once so that many of the students present this evening will
actually be able to finish their work in Levy Mayer Hall. We
have the land, the building, and, in Mr. Wigmore, the leadership to inspire us in the campaign. We must succeed!
"The proposal to endow the Wigmore foundation of
dence is a sp lendid one. What would be more fitting than
this sum of $150,000 shou ld be made up out of the small
scriptions of the rank and file of the members of the bar

are former students of the school and devoted followers of the
Dean? This is our $150,000, and the immediate task before
us is to raise thi s su1:11.
"No man will be asked to do a great deal of work in the
campaign. In America we are not classed at the bar as solicitors and barrister s. We are all so licitors! While it will be
necessary for us to practice some law during the week of October 22, we can all of us spare some time to solicit.
"Cards have been signed by those prese nt giving their
classes and addresses. VI/ e had intended to have you mark your
cards ' Worker' if you vvould volunteer as a canvasser in the
campaign; but the cards have all been collected. Now, if any
one here is not willing to be a worker, let him stop after the
meeting and take away his card! Here they are; our cards are
on the table. We are counting on all of you.
"Mrs. Mayer's splendid gift has stirred up a great wave of
enthusiasm among the Alumni. It is our task to capture this
wave, and divert it down a sluice-way and into a mighty turbine
to develop more power for a greater Northwestern. I hope
that all of you are with me."
The President: "You were told that the purposes of this
meeting were to welcome Dean Wigmore home and hear him
tell about his visit in Europe, and to hear announcements of
certain very important gifts to the law school. Have those
purposes been accomplished?"
Voices:

"Yes, yes."

The President:

"Then the meeting 1s adjourned."
