�Founding and Location

THE
School of Law was founded in 1859 with a sum of money given by
Thomas Hoyne, at a time when there were only three other law

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.
The School is located in two new buildings on McKinlock Campus,
overlooking Lake Michigan ·at Lake Shore Drive and Chicago Avenue,
Chicago. Levy Mayer Hall is the gift of Mrs. Levy Mayer in memory
of her husband, Levy Mayer, an eminent member of the Chicago bar.
The Elbert H. Gary Library Building is the gift of the late Elbert H.
Gary, '67. It houses the Elbert H. Gary Library, one of the largest and
most select collections of legal materials in the country. A beautiful
cloistered garden, enclosed by an arched wall connecting wings of the two
buildings, is the gift of Mrs. Hortense Mayer Hirsch, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Levy Mayer.
These buildings and grounds, with their delightful surroundings and
artistic appointments, all within a few moments walk of Chicago's busy
Loop district, provide facilities for professional study and present day
law school purposes, unsurpassed by those of any other educational
institution.

General Requirements and Limitations

T

Limitation of Number of Students

HE 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. Selection is determined primarily by the quality of
an applicant's college record, but many other factors may be, and usually
are considered. A personal interview with the Dean may be required.

Admission
Students may be admitted in the fall, winter, or summer terms.
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.
10

�An applicant for admission for the first time must furnish proof
of having obtained a bachelor's degree in Arts or Science from an approved
college, or of having satisfactorily completed 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.
The admission of students from other law schools and the granting of
advanced standing for credits obtained in any such school rests within the
discretion of the Dean of the School.
No applicant will be admitted who has been denied re-admission to
another law school.
All applications must be accompanied by the matriculation fee. This
fee will be returned only if the applicant is not admitted.
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.

Pre-Legal Course
While students may enter with either three or four years of college
preparation, it is the opinion of the faculty that only students who have
acquired a maturity of thought and expression should enter law school
before securing an academic degree. But it is also the opinion of the
faculty that a student who is qualified to enter the law school at the end
of his third year in college will become a much stronger lawyer by spending four years rather than three in the law school. The greater facilities
of the law school for doing independent work during the later years of
his course develop the student's power far more than is done by the additional year in the college.
The School of Law does not prescribe particular college courses for
admission nor does it recommend specific courses. In this it follows
the judgment of the Association of American Law Schools. Among
the many values to be derived from college study, maturity of thought
and expression is of peculiar importance to the study of law. Such
maturity comes from rigorous intellectual discipline derived from the
mastery of any study undertaken by a student, rather than from the mere
content of the subject matter.
Students differ in their tastes, and college courses differ in the stimulation and discipline afforded the student. The Faculty have thought it
wise, therefore, that the preparation of each student for law study should
11

�be left to the particular individual and the particular college. In order
that students in this University may have some assistance in selecting
studies, the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts and the Dean of the
School of Law have appointed a committee to advise pre-legal students who
may desire suggestions with reference to the studies to be pursued by
them. This Committee is composed of Professors Ellingwood, Egbert,
Hohman, and Terry, of the College of Liberal Arts; and Professors Baker,
Fagg, and Havighurst, of the School of Law.

Degrees
Degrees will be conferred by the Trustees of the University upon
students who are recommended therefor by the Faculty of the School
of Law. Before a student will be recommended for a degree he must have
satisfied the Faculty as to his character and must have complied with the
requirements hereinafter set forth for the degree for which he is a candidate:
Degree of Juris Doctor-Three academic years (27 months) of residence and
eighty-four semester-hours of credit for students holding at the time of admission
a bachelor's degree in Arts or Science, representing four years of college study or its
equivalent, but not including any credit for law study; or
Four academic years (36 months) of residence and one hundred four semesterhours of credit for students who have satisfactorily completed three years of study
in an approved college.
Except for satisfactory reasons approved by the Dean each student throughout the periods of registration must 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, for not less than fourteen hours of work.
(c) in the third year, for not less than twelve hours of work.
It is further required that in the fourth year not less than ten semester-hours of
credit be obtained in each semester.
Where in the opinion of the Faculty the candidate's record of scholarship is one
of distinction or special distinction, the degree of Juris Doctor may be awarded
cum laude or magna cum laude.
Degree of Master of Laws-The degree of Master of Laws will be conferred only
upon students who have obtained a first degree in law from this or some university or
college having equal requirements in that regard.
A candidate for the degree of Master of Laws, in addition to having obtained a first
degree in law, as above mentioned, will be required to meet the following conditions:
(a) The completion of one year of residence in this school, during which time
credit must be obtained in not less than fifteen semester-hours in courses not previously counted toward the first degree in law.
(b) The completion of a thorough study of some approved legal topic and the
presentation of a paper embodying its results, of such character as to be suitable for
publication in the Illinois Law Review. The thesis shall conform to the style sheet
ot the Review.

12

�(c) The passing of an examination covering his general legal attainments.
Degree of Doctor of Juridical Science-The degree of Doctor of Juridical
Science-Scientiae Juridicae Doctor (S.J.D.)-may be conferred on recommendation of the Faculty of the School of Law upon candidates who have obtained the degree
of Juris Doctor from this or some university or college having equal requirements in
that regard, or have obtained the degree of Bachelor of Laws from another university
or college whose requirements for that degree are equal to those prescribed by this
School for the degree of Juris Doctor.
A candidate for the degree of Doctor of Juridical Science, in addition to having
obtained the degree of Juris Doctor, or its equivalent, as above mentioned, will be required to meet the following conditions :
(a) The completion of one year of residence at this school. The time required
for the completion of a candidate's work, however, will normally run far beyond the
period of residen~e required.
(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 be completed in such manner, both as to subject
matter and literary form, as to be, in the opinion of the Faculty, a significant and
scholarly contribution to legal science. The mechanical form 'o f 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 Faculty.
It is the policy of the faculty to restrict this degree to candidates who have had
experience either in practicing or teaching law, and who have developed some scholarly
objective. Candidates are afforded every facility for both library and field research,
and some time during their residence they are given the opportunity of instructing students along the line of their research. They are given, the rank of research associates
and are accorded many of the privileges of members of the faculty. The opportunities
afforded by the School and the community for graduate study are in all practical
respects unlimited.

Combined Degrees in Seven Years
Bachelor's Degree in Arts or Science--The fourth year of a college course leading
to a Bachelor's degree in Arts or Science may be spent in law studies in this Law
School, so as to lead in seven years to degrees both in law 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 degree of Bachelor of Arts
or Science in that college or university.

13

�(c) A student presenting three years of college credit from this or another approved college of arts or science may, on the recommendation of the Law School Faculty, upon the satisfactory completion of, the first year's work in the Law School,
receive from this University the degree of Bachelor of Science in Law.

Master's Degree in Art&amp;-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 Law School 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
the Faculty of the Law School. If the candidate is obtaining his Juris Doctor 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.
Candidates for the Master's degree, will register in both the Graduate School and
the School of Law on or before the first Monday in October of the year in which they
expect to graduate.

Examinations
Regular examinations are given in all formal courses. They are for
the purpose of affording a basis for the determination of the student's
relative mastery of the subject upon which he is examined. But they
provide only one source, though an important one, for such purpose. In
addition, the written work done in connection with a course, the preparation
of assignments for recitation as reflected in class room discussion, the
contacts generally with the professor in charge incident to the development
of a course, are all of great value in rating the standing of a student, and
in most courses are reflected in the final grade.
Examinations in individual or small group studies may or may not be
given, dependent upon the character of the subject and the nature of the
instruction.
No re-examination will be given in any course for the purpose of raising
a grade obtained therein on a prior examination unless the student again
regularly takes the course, or in the case of individual studies, does further
work as may be required.

Grades
Six grades a~e given:
A-Excellent.
B-Superior.
C-Average.
14

S-Satisfactory.
D-U nsatisfactory.
F-Failure.

�Grades A, B, C and S may be applied toward requirements for promotion or for a degree.

Promotion
Each applicant must have obtained, for promotion:
To the Second Year .............................. 24 semester hours
To the Third Year ............................... 48 semester hours
To the Fourth Year .............................. 72 semester hours

Schedules and Hours
All classes are held between the hours of 8 :45 a.m. and 5 :45 p.m., on
week days except Saturday. The schedule of classes is posted on the
official bulletin board before the beginning of each term.
The building is open to students from 7 :00 a.m. to 10 :30 p.m. each week
day; and from 2 :00 p.m. to 10 :00 p.m. on Sundays. By special permission of the Dean, students may be permitted to use the study rooms of
the building at other hours.

Curriculum

T

Formal Class Room Studies

HE first two years of the curriculum are designed primarily for formal
and intensive class room work, based upon the study and analysis of
cases, supplemented by library reading and investigation. To this end many
courses have been developed in which the materials for study have been
re-aligned. While historical and other materials of value have been retained, many older and fragmentary courses have been combined, subject
matter no longer vital has been discarded, and fresh materials reflecting
current problems and developments have been included. In addition,
methods and technics of teaching have been evolved appropriate to the use
of the materials. These improvements reduce the period of the student's
formal study and at the same time cover the field of law more adequately.

Indivi.dual Studies
The curriculum for the third and fourth years is designed to permit a
highly flexible laboratory program for the individual student. While many
formal courses are available for the third and fourth year students who
prefer them, individual and small group studies requiring independent
I
. work on the part of the student are encoµraged. In almost every course
after the first year there are some more mature and industrious students

15

�who desire to expand their work by way of investigation into important
subjects collateral to the main course. Individual studies have therefore
been made available in all courses after the first year, and many subjects
are restricted altogether to sitch studies. But all individual and small
group work is so available only upon such conditions and for such credit
as may be approved by the professor in charge and the Dean.
Individual studies vary so widely with the problem, the student and
the professor, that rules. for their development can not be adequately
formulated. They require the utmost flexibility. Certain things, however, about this type of work are clear. It goes beyond the class room
and library into the offices, businesses, records, and affairs of the community at large, both in the formulation of the problems to be studied
and in the mobilization of data pertinent to them. It requires the constant
supervision of the professor in charge, and in many instances results in a
product worthy of publication in some one of the legal periodicals fostered
by the School. The training is designed to develop on the part of the
student the power of analysis, the ability to formulate new problems, the
capacity to bring pertinent sources of information and authority to bear
upon them, originality both in thought and expression, and the ultimate
power to handle the problems of a lawyer in the most acceptable professional manner.

Required Subjects

Passing grades in the following subjects are required for graduation for
all students receiving the degree of Juris Doctor :
( 1) All first-year courses.
(2) The Profession of the Bar.
(3) Legal Clinic, Civil Branch (not required for members of the Legal
Publications Board).
A student who enters with advanced standing and who has taken equivalent work elsewhere is subject to the remaining requirements applicable
to the class he enters.
The opportunities for journal and clinic work afforded by the legal publications and the clinic are of the utmost importance. Inasmuch as threeyear students must carry extremely heavy work to satisfy degree requirements, they are advised to attend an additional summer session in order
to take advantage of the opportunities for, journal and clinic work.

Limitation of Work

The curriculum for the first year represents what is thought to be the
maximum amount of work which can be done by a good student under
favorable conditions. Students who are under any serious handicap such
as physical disability, the necessity of earning part of their expenses, or
16

accordingly.
No first year student may register in any course other than those
herein indicated for first year students except by permission of the Dean.

The James Nelson and Anna Louise Raymond
Foundation
Legal Clinics

I

N 1926 Mrs. Anna Louise Raymond established the James Nelson and
Anna Louise Raymond Foundation by a gift of $200,000, the incotne
from which, subject to certain annuities, provides a legal clinic for the
poor. It was organized under the superintendence of a joint committee
of the School of Law, United Charities, and the Chicago Bar Association.
Since its establishment the income from the Foundation, generously supplemented by further gifts from Mrs. Raymond, the late Julius Rosenwald
and several leading Chicago law firms, has sustained the clinic
in three branches, viz., the Civil, Industrial, and Criminal. These have
been under the direction of attorneys of the Law School, who have been
generously aided by the staff of the Legal Aid Bureau of the United
Charities. In connection with each clinic, instruction is given for a
semester by the professor in charge, and each student is required to investigate, prepare for trial, and in the event of trial, take part in the
conduct of several cases, under the direction of the attorney in charge.
The work of the Law School and that of the Legal Aid Bureau are highly
coordinated. In the Civil and Industrial branches, the attorneys of the
Law School maintain their offices at the Legal Aid Bureau. Indigent ·
claimants and defendants in every type of case are represented. The
student comes in intimate contact with the routine and problems of office
practice and litigation generally. The claims successfully prosecuted
aggregate thousands of dollars annually, and the legitimate defenses afforded
indigent persons are equally valuable. The Foundation and clinics are the
first to be s~t up on behalf of a law school.
For details of the clinic work required, see the Curriculum.
In connection with the work of the Criminal Clinic, in 1930 Mrs. Anna
Louise Raymond established the James Nelson Raymond Graduate Fellowship in Criminal Law, by a gift of $15,000, the income of $1,500 to be
30

�awarded biennially for a graduate fellowship.

Cresap, Frank M. Peters, Leo F. Wormser, F. Howard Eldridge, Willard
H. King, Magnus Myres, Mrs. Joseph Schaffner, Mrs. Otto L. Schmidt,
all of Chicago, and the Honorable Julian W. Mack, of New York. Julius
Rosenthal ( 1828-1905) was an eminent and beloved member of the
Chicago bar and Librarian of the Chicago Law Institute for nearly forty
years. He was the most learned lawyer of his time in Chicago, did more
than any other man to establish the best standards of legal scholarship in
this region, and by numerous gifts of books indicated his interest in the
welfare of this School.
The present capital fund of the Foundation is $69,500, the income from
which is applicable generally for the cultivation of legal literature, and
specifically by means of the publication of meritorious essays, monographs,

otherwise might not readily find a publisher; by the aid or encouragement
of research in the field of legal literature, and of the preparation for publication in whole or in part of the results of such research ; by the delivery and
publication of lectures on subjects concerning the law; etc.

In 1927, the Julius Rosenthal Foundation lecturer was Sir William Searle Holdsworth,

31

�by Mrs. 01arles C. Linthicum, Harvey S. Firestone, his long time client,
and Otto R. Barnett and Melvin M. Hawley, his associates at the Chicago
bar. The income from this fund is applicable to the general purpose of

of the delivery of lectures or other form of instruction ; the publication of
meritorious essays, monographs, or books; the aid of research or preparation
for publication; the award of prizes to meritorious essays, monographs,
or books, already written or published ; etc.

In 1927, a prize (one thousand dollars and a bronze medal) was offered for the
best monograph on "The Law of Radio Communication." The prize was awarded
to Stephen Davis, of the New York Bar, and the prize monograph has been published
under the above title (McGraw-Hill, 1927).
In 1929, a similar prize was offered for the best monograph on "Scientific Property,"
the competition being open to members of the bar and registered law students in
any country of the world. The first prize was awarded to Charles John Hamson,
of London, member of the Honorable Society of Gray's Inn (monograph published,
The Bobbs-Merrill Co., 1930) ; and second prizes with honorable mention to L. B.
Davies, of Melbourne, Australia, registered patent attorney, and to Francois Poignon,
of Montbard, France, graduate student at the University of Lille.
In 1930, the subject was "A Complete Program for the Improvement of the United
States Patent Law System," and the prize was awarded to Richard Spencer, of the
Chicago Bar. The monograph was published in 1931 (Callaghan &amp; Co.).
The subject for the prize in 1931 was "A Comprehensive Critique of the International Chamber of Commerce Committee's 1930 Draft Convention for The International Protection of Industrial Property." The first prize was awarded to
Leslie Bartlett Davies and Arthur Dean of Melbourne, Australia; and second prizes,
with honorable mention, to Stephen P. Ladas, of New York, Marcel Plaisant, of Paris,
and J. M. Bliss, of Surrey, England.
The subject for the 1933 Prize Competition is "Negotiable Instruments in their

practice and national laws in this field and of the present situation of the movement
for international uniformity." For 1935, the subject will be "The Collection of

�traits and scenes to illustrate other systems of law; many of these are
unique and irreplaceable. A recent acquisition in this field is a series of
portraits of Swiss jurists, obtained through Dr. Max Huber, late judge of
the World Court.
The collection includes some 40 oil paintings, and about 1500 etchings
and engravings. A special series is a set of 20 large platinum photographs
of portraits of eminent British judges in the National Gallery of Portraits,
colored by a London artist to show the costumes. The larger portraits are
framed for display on the walls of lecture rooms, Library reading-room,
and corridors.
The cataloguing of the collection is now almost completed, and consists
of basic classification cards, with three cross-indices ( alphabetical, accessions, location). The classification is into five groups : A, Portraits ( in~
eluding sculpture, caricatures, etc.), B, Places ( including courthouses, law
schools, monuments, etc.), C, Scenes ( including trial scenes from all
periods and places), D, Documents ( including facsimiles), and E, Mis- ,

refer here to the likeness of almost any judge or lawyer in our country who
has reached distinction.

Honors

in the Honor List the names of those students whose standing is such as in
the opinion of the Faculty deserves particular mention.

fund pays the following items of expense :
I. Hospital bed.
2. Operating fee.
3. Anesthetic fee.
4. Medicine furnished by the hospital.
5. Laboratory fee.
6. Medical or surgical attendance.
Hospitalization requiring a period longer than seven (7) days will be at the student's
expense.

The Young Men's Christian Association

The Young Men's Christian Association of Chicago has established a branch for the
schools located on McKinlock Campus. It is in charge of Mr. L. C. Hollister, who
devotes his entire time to work among the students on the campus. In addition to
its religious and social work, the Association maintains a student employment bureau.
All students are invited to make the Association rooms their headquarters during
the year. As far as possible new students will be met at the train by an Association

40

�man wearing a badge. Those desiring to be so met will please write a few days in
advance to Y. M. C. A., McKinlock Campus, Chicago, indicating clearly on what
train they are to reach Chicago, and over what road they are to come.

Housing Quarters

Very desirable rooms may be had at the Allerton Club, Michigan and Ontario
Streets, and the new Lawson Y. M. C. A., located at Chicago Avenue and Dearborn
Street, six blocks from the Law School. Many other approved quarters are near
McKinlock Campus; also quarters may be had in Evanston, all at reasonable prices.
For details as to rooms and board, address Mr. L. C. Hollister, Executive Secretary
of the Y. M. C. A., McKinlock Campus, Chicago.

The Northwestern University Foundation Fund

The Northwestern University Foundation Fund was organized in 1926 to provide
a means whereby alumni might render financial support to Northwestern University.
It seeks annual contributions from alumni, in accordance with its slogan, "Every living
alumnus a contributor every year." During its six years of existence it has received
approximately $200,000 in gifts from some 10,000 alumni, which funds have been
turned over to the University and used for faculty salaries, libraries, scholarships,
loan funds, and various kinds of research. Last year the Foundation Fund received
approximately $35,000 from over 5400 alumni. All Foundation gifts are allocated
to that school of the University from which the contributing alumni graduated.

�THE STUDY OF LAW
AT

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY SCHOOL
OF LAW
THROUGHOUT the seventy-two years of its history, Northwestern University School of Law has
been a pioneer in legal education. No other like institution has experimented more widely or has had
more general acceptance of its contributions. Aside
from the normal processes of legal training, many
distinctive advantages have been developed and made
available for its students.
I.

SELECTED AND LIMITED STUDENT GROUP.
The college training and intellectual attainments required for

admission to the School insure as nearly as can be the maturity of
thought and expression requisite to a student's success in carrying
through a rigorous law training program. By limiting the size of
the group, close association of students with each other and intimate
contacts with the faculty are made possible. No other factors contribute so much to a student's growth.

II.

FORMAL CLASS ROOM STUDIES.

Formal studies are based upon case book materials aligned for
the employment of the most advanced methods of analysis and teaching techniques. Both materials and methods of teaching have been
developed by a faculty of broad experience as practicing lawyers
and teachers.

III.

INFORMAL LABORATORY STUDIES.

Third and fourth year students have a wide choice of subjects
for individual or small group study. Current problems in business

�and government, such as corporate reorganization and finance, taxation, court administration, criminal law administration, insurance,
and numerous other subjects, are drawn from the laboratory found
in the Chicago community. Students study the problems they will
meet as lawyers.

IY.

LEGAL CLINICS.

Under the auspices of the Raymond Foundation, civil, industrial
and criminal clinics are directed and supervised by experienced practitioners and instructors. Thousands of cases of indigent persons
are handled in these clinics. Every student may have actual contact
with clients, witnesses, preparation of documents, office and court
house routine, as well as the courts themselves.

Y.

ILLINOIS LAW LECTURES.

Some twenty able practitioners at the Chicago and Illinois bars
give brief courses of lectures on important phases of Illinois law and
special subjects. These lectures, available to all students, afford professional contacts, as well as technical training for local practice,
under the most favorable auspices.

YI.

LEGAL PUBLICATIONS.

Through t'he Students' Legal Publications Board, students have
available five legal periodicals for the publication of their notes, comments, and other writings deemed worthy of publication. The most
effective single agency of legal training is thereby made available to
every student. These publications are made possible by support from
the alumni, the Rosenthal Foundation, the Air Law Institute, the
Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory, the Institute of Criminal Law
and Criminology, and the Chicago and Illinois bars generally.

VII. THE PROFESSION OF THE BAR.
A comprehensive study of professional thought, biography, organization, disciplinary control, ethics, and current movements in bar
development is required of every student. This study is largely under
the direction of Professor John H. Wigmore, one of the world's foremost legal scholars, who is widely credited with having contributed
more to legal education than any other American lawyer.

�VIII.

FACULTY.

The faculty devotes itselt primarily to teaching. Personal contacts with the student and observation of his processes make possible
a rating of his full powers rather than merely of his capacity to pass
formal examinations. At the same time, as a result of well directed
research, the contributions of the faculty to legal education, to legal
science, to professional development and community service mark it
as one of the country's notable educational groups.

IX.

BUILDINGS, LIBRARY AND LOCATION.

Levy Mayer Hall and Elbert H. Gary Library, located on the
beautiful waterfront of Lake Michigan, with their impressive architectural design, handsome appointments and remarkable collections
of legal literature, afford a quiet retreat with splendid facilities for
study. Within fifteen minutes walk are the business and governmental centers of the country's second largest metropolitan area,
where every complex problem of modem life arises. No better laboratory could be provided for a law school and its students.

X.

SCHOLARSHIPS, FELLOWSHIPS, LOAN FUNDS.

Through the support of alumni and other friends of the School,
scholarships, fellowships, loan funds, and other student aids are being
provided more adequately from year to year, so that any qualified
and worthy aspirant, however poor, or obscure in the social scale,
may have the advantages the School has to offer.

XI.

COST TO STUDENT.

The School is maintained and operated by the University at an
outlay on the part of the student of less than fifty per cent of its cost.
This is made possible by the benefactions of friends and alumni of the
School and University.

XII.

POSITIONS FOR GRADUATES.

Alumni and other professional contacts, especially in Illinois and
neighboring states, but also generally throughout the country, afford
numerous opportunities for the graduate's easy transition from the
School into a law office or other desirable professional connection.
The demand for graduates of high rating always exceeds their
number.

Address inquiries to the Dean of the School of Law,
Northwestern University, Chicago.

Founding and Location

HE LAW SCHOOL was founded in 1859 with a sum of
money given by Thomas Hoyne, when there were only three
The
similar schools west of the Allegheny Mountains.
first dean was Henry Booth, 18 59-189 I. 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 School is located on McKinlock Campus overlooking Lake
Michigan at Lake Shore Drive and Chicago Avenue, Chicago, in
its new buildings. Levy Mayer Hall is the gift of Mrs. Levy Mayer,
in memory of her husband, who was an eminent member of the
Chicago Bar. Elbert H. Gary Library Building is the gift of the
late Elbert H. Gary.

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

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 the Faculty of
the Law School. If the candidate is obtaining his Juris Doctor
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.

Pre-Legal Course in College of Liberal Arts
The Law School Faculty does not prescribe particular college
courses for admission to the Law School, nor does it recommend
specific courses. In this it follows the judgment of the Association
of American Law Schools. Among the many values to be derived
from college study, maturity of thought and expression is of peculiar
importance to the study of law. Such maturity comes from rigorous
intellectual discipline derived from the mastery of any study undertaken by a student, rather than from the mere content of the subject
matter.
Students differ in their tastes, and college courses differ in the
stimulation and discipline afforded the student. The Faculty have
thought it wise, therefore, that the preparation of each student for
law study should be left to the partic~lar individual and the particular college. In order that students in this University may have some
assistance in selecting studies, the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts
and the Dean of the Law School have appointed a committee to
advise pre-legal students who may desire suggestions with reference

CURRICULUM

to the studies to be pursued by them. This Committee is composed
of Professors Ellingwood, Egbert, Hohman, and Terry, of the College of Liberal Arts; and Professors Baker, Fagg, and Havighurst,
of the Law School.

Curriculum
The first two years of the curriculum are designed primarily for
formal and intensive class room work, based upon the study and
analysis of cases, supplemented by library reading and investigation.
The curriculum for the third and fourth years
permit a highly flexible laboratory program for the
dent. Individual studies .will be available upon such
for such credit as may be approved by the instructor

third and fourth year subjects.

and dean, and
those listed as

This work will go beyond the class room and library into the
offices, businesses, records, and affairs of the community at large,
both in the formulation of the problems to be studied and in the
mobilization of data pertinent to them. It will require the constant
supervision of the instructor in charge, and in many instances result
in a product worthy of publication in some one of the legal periodicals
fostered by the School. The training is designed to develop on the
part of the student the power of analysis, the ability to formulate new
problems, the capacity to bring pertinent sources of information and
authority to bear upon them, originality both in thought and expression, and the ultimate power to handle the problems of a lawyer in
the most acceptable professional manner.

Dear Dean Green :
I have read your paper called "The Law School's Part in the
Development of Scientific Control of Government", with very
great interest. Indeed, I was so impressed that I have read it a
second time. I like your program. It seems to me a logical
development of the great work Dean \,Vigmore has done so well
-work that has brought great distinction to the Northwestern
University Law School.
If I read the signs of the times aright , the mo st significant
trend of the present is an awakening interest in those fields of
thought which have to do with the relations of men. The
enormous progress of the material sciences has revolutionized
the world. New and complex problems have therefore been
created which society so far has not satisfactorily met. Many
of our profoundest thinkers believe that we must apply to Law,
to Economics, to Politics, and to the other social sciences, the
methods by which material sciences have achieved such phenomenal results. In other words, they would substitute the
laboratory method for a priori speculation. Just as science has
produced our modern social problems, so, if we are to solve those
problems, we must employ the same methods by which they were
created.

This, as I understand it, is the meaning of your program,
and I am heartily in favor of it.
vVith all good wishes for its success, I am,
Very sincerely yours,
(Signed) Frank 0. Lowden

Scientific Control of Government)

Approved by the President and Executive Committee
of the Board of Trustees of the University

�THE LAW SCHOOL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
GENERAL FACTORS
Government and business have definitely taken a turn from
what may be called political methods to tho;;e of science. Their
processes and relations to each other, ·if they ever were, are no
longer so simple that every citizen understands them as a matter
of course. The further we go the more devices are found necessary to deal with them. The study of these processes and relati6ns and the development of their controls necessarily focus in
the use of that power we call law. If science has anything to
contribue to human happiness, it must be here. But as Walter
Lippman says, "The full realization of the place of science in
modern life came slowly, and only in our generation aan it be
said that political rulers, captains of industry and leaders of
thought have actually begun to act upon that realization". N either government nor business has yet developed sources for supplying its scientists.
The educational institutions of the country must meet the
demands here as elsewhere. The particular problems involved
definitely fall to schools of law and their allies in the social
science field. This accounts for the tremendous expansion now
taking place in law school programs, and the definite alliances
which are being made by law schools with schools of commerce,
government 1and medicine, and with all other graduate schools
which have interests in common with it.
'

There is a parallel for this development to be found in the
growth of medical science in recent years. The same sort of thing
which is now getting under way in law began in the medical
world only a short time ago. First there were volunteer health
societies with a few dim theories, then health boards, then scientific commissions, and then hospitals, clinics, and other activities,
finally developing the superb medical schools as we know them
today. Those who condemned such undertakings in medicine as
fantastic were even more positive than the doubters who condemn like undertakings in governmental science. It will be
noted that the medical school was the ultimate development, and
the reason is clear. It was necessary to have an instrumentality
for developing the scientists who were to carry on the extensive
undertakings of that profession and its science. The instrumentalities which have been brought together for this purpose in the
form of medical schools range from the simplest mechanical device to the most highly tnained expert. These, and everything
in between, are essential to the training of the individuals who
are to perform the numerous functions required by that science.
Nothing less is required for the development of legal science if
it is to supply the executives and advisers and numerous trained
4

�citizens of every sort, who have to do with government and business. The only difference probably will be that the plant and
equipment for the law school can be provided at a relatively
small cost, as compared with the extravagant laboratories and
equipment required for the medical schools.

In strength contributed to a university, none of its branches
stand ahead of its law school. On the other hand, in support required for its .own successful development, probably no other
branch is so dependent upon the university. This seeming paradox of excessive strength on one hand, and excessive weakness on
the other, it not easily explained.
A law school's strength lies in the power with which lawyers
are entrusted. Directly and indirectly, they have a larger control of
wealth and governmental processes than any other single group
-a control out of all proportion to its numbers. No policy of
any great significance in any of the numerous activities which
people engage upon and which affect the general welfare can become operative until such policy hias won its day with the lawyer.
The lawyer's power may be brought to bear as adviser, advocate,
business executive, legislator, judge, mem1ber of a commission, or
administrative officer. He is literally the trustee of all society.
This ascendancy of power every s uccessful university has on its
side. It is found in the fundamental organization of the institution. It is found in the promotion of the institution's standing in
the popular imagination. It is found in the personnel of boards
of trustees, and in suggestions made to clients who desire to
make their bequests of lasting importance. It is found in the
distribution of the wealth of lavryers themselves.
Why have lawyers and their families been more generous in
their support of educational institutions at large than of their
own particular schools? The exceptions are notable: Mr. Sterling of Yale, Mr. Cook of Michigan, and Mrs. Levy Mayer and
Judge Gary of Northwestern. Even Mr. Sterling's generous benefaction of some six million dollars was but a fraction of his
fortune which was given to other educational enterprises. There
are, of course, other lawyer benefactors of lesser magnitude. Why
have law schools generally found it so much more difficult to
obtain financial support than other schools? There are several
answers.
The first answer is to be found in the limited type of training which law schools have given their students. Lawyers who
have reached the plane of large responsibility have frequently
commented upon the small part the restricted instruction received
in law schools played in their development. As a consequence,
their broad and generous outlo9ks of later years find no great
5

�value in promoting the sort of training which they received.
They are looking for more 'Significant ventures to support.
The second answer is that law schools themselves have done
little to expand their scope of training, other than to put legal
doctrines upon sound historical bases. The predominate type of
law school still adheres to a comparatively narrow instructional
program.
The third answer i'S that the few schools which have sought
to broaden their horizons to meet the demands imposed upon the
present day lawyer, have not been able to articulate their programs satisfactorily, so that lawyers and intelligent laymen could
understand what is being proposed. Law schoof men generally
are still perhaps as much bewildered as to what is taking place
in legal education as are those whose faith must be depended
upon to support the schools. But it is a healthy sign that leading
law school men are up in arms against the short ranged program
of the passing school. They are demanding a training more in
keeping with the lawyer's functions. They are seeking to reclaim
the-attention of those who long .ago outgrew the bounds of their
early legal training, and with it all, an understandable program
of objective'S is being evolved.
Northwestern University Law School has been one of the
two or three schools of the country longest interested in expanding the scope of the lawyer's training. Many of its experiments
have been accepted widely. At the same time, its scholarship has
been of the richest sort. Without abating the rigor of its insistence upon strictly legal training, it proposes to continue the
broadening of its program in cultural interests; to continue to
extend and strengthen its alliances with the fields of business,
government, and other social sciences; to develop further its
relations with the bar and governmental agencies of the community; and in every way possible to bring the lawyer's training
into harmony with his every day duties.

SCOPE OF THE PROGRAM

foundations which have already been so painstakingly laid, the
following program, which can only be briefly stated, is proposed:

A. Objectives.
B. Financial Support.

I. THE STUDENT GROUP
A. Limitation in Numbers.
All problems concerning the student group revolve about
two ideas, namely, numbers and quality. The problem of numbers is not subject to accurate solution. Its solution must always
be an adjustment between facilities, educational policies, and the
cost of operating the institution. It has been determined tentatively that th e faci lities of th e present plant and the faculty as
recruited to full strength will accommodate about four hundred
students. ]'his number will be tried out. If too large, it can be
reduced. If more students can be accommodated, the number
can be increased. But the chances are that the number must be
further limited, rather than increased.
Again the medical people have led the way. Some of the
most extravagantly equipped schools have limited their first year
regi stration to as few as fifty. Probably law schools wiill never
reduce their numbers so radically. But the idea at the bottom
of such strict limitation is essentially that of apprenticeship,
which as an effective teaching device has never been excelled, or
perhaps equalled, by any other method. It means individual investigation and supervision. In order that a law teacher may
give law students so'mething approaching adequate individual
attention, the group must be relatively small. The investigations
and paper work done by students in law school courses is equal
in tediousness and time consumed to the laboratory methods of
the physical sciences.
Of almost equal import with indivlidual instruction and
supervision are the advantages students gain from one another
7

�where the group is small enough to allow intimate contacts by
students of the same grade of intelligence. They teach one
another far more effectively than they are taught by class room
instruction. Every consideration requires that the s•ize of classes
be reduced as quickly as possible.

B. Tuition.
With a limited number of students, the question of tuition
becomes a problem. There is no such thing as charging a student
the full price of his training but here again an adjustment can be
made which is not too exacting upon the student, and which at
the same time reduces the deficit of the school. Measured by the
standards of other good schools with larger student bodies and
facilities not so good, the present tuition rate is too small. It
should be raised as quickly as possible to at least $400.00, with
due regard to students already in the school. It may be a question whether it should go to as much as $500.00. Students who
are able to pay should p.ay. Those who can not pay and are
desirable students should be aided financially.
Scholarships.
The increase in tuition would be largely offset by the increase
in scholarships to. deserving students. Such scholarships should
take various forms, ranging in amounts, and from outright subsidies to the best students, to mere temporary loans to others.
Probably the usual arrangement would be a long-time loan, and
for such an amount as would meet a substantial part of his expenses, at least all or part of the expenses of tuit,ion. While a
student should not be paid to go to school, yet first rate ability
is too valuable to be allowed to go to waste for want of the slight
financial support required for the period of law school training.
One of the functions of a university is to be on the outlook for
exceptional ability, and to promote those who have it at any cost
within reason. It is believed that a fund of $20,000 a year for a
period of ten years, revolving in its nature, would in time adequately care for the general needs of this sort.

C.

D.

Selective Methods.
I
To successfully limit numbers, there must be some method
of selecting the group. The machinery required for selective purposes is not simple. There is no one acceptable scheme. Nor will
there likely be such. Various devices are employed. The most
reliable, used especially as checks upon each other, are as follows:
1. Prior to Entrance.
a. Previous scholastic records.
b. Personal interviews of applicants by members of the faculty.
8

�c. Intelligence tests.
d. Strict records kept on the students who come
from particular schools.
e. Distribution geograph'ically and with reference to the strata of society.
2. After Entrance.
a. Promotion of a limited number only, on the
basis of the first year's record.
The problem is partly one of preventing the unfit from
entering, but also one of determining the most fit after a period
of experimentation in legal studies. It is not one of foretelling
just how each man admitted "'' ill rate at the end of his first
year, or even at the end of his course. If the latter were the
problem, it could never be even approximately solved, for there
are always distressing failures, even among most promising students. If the failures can be reduced from year to year, the
standing of the student group can be built up. The processes for
dding this require time and experience and continued intelligent
effort. Large steps can be taken during the first few years, but
thereafter it is a question of very patient administrait:ion. The
advantages to everyone concerned are obvious. The time and expense to the rejected student are saved to him or his family. The
time of the faculty is saved for better students. The ·successful
students are not subjected to the loss of time and breaches of
morale which follow in the wake of unsuccessful students. The
development of the school and its prestige are both accelerated
by good students. There is no injustice done. No one is complaining of "too few" lawyers. The cry is always "too poor"
lawyers. This School is committed to the policy of better students
·and better trained citizens and lawyers.

II. INCREASE IN FACULTY
It is in the increase in Resident Faculty that the departures
of the suggested program are most marked.
A.

Small Study Groups.
The limitation of students to four hundred does not eliminate
large classes. The first-year classes still range around one hundred fifty . Some of the other classes reach more than one hundred. These classes are too large. Smaller sections are necessary. Dividing them into smaller sections requires more teachers. Thus have the faculties of all the schools who have sectionized their classes been increased.
B.

Individual Work by Students.
' As a natural outgrowth of smaller classes, students necessarily are led to attempt more individual investigation. Their
9

�studies become more interesting, and the problem is not one of
meeting the requirements, but one of keeping up with the students' demands. These invesitigations take the form of papers
and reports, which require both supervision and examination.
Here, both study and teaching are at their best, and the added
consumption of time on the part of both student and teacher is
immediately reflected in the student's development.
C.

Realignment of Teaching Materials and Curriculum.
The realignment of teaching materials and curriculum is probably the most important item of the whole program. What this
shall be, no teacher can forecast. To set about it at all requires
the greatest courage, and a determination to engage in the most
painstaking work over a period of at least ten years, and more
likely twenty.
Some fifty years ago an alignment of materials was begun
by the Harvard Law School professors. That alignment has been
developed in detail at Harvard and elsewhere, and it still dominates legal study. It was made in the form of casebooks built
on doctrinal classifications. In comparison 'with anything that
went before, it proved a tremendous advance, and as a teaching
instrumentality the case book, in some form, will probably never
be supplanted. But the doctrinal classific.ation has proved narrow
and misleading. It fails to develop the other important aspects
of the jud!icial and other governmental processes, which are
probably more significant than the legal doctrines themselves.
There is universal protest against the lack of something in the
doctrinal case book device, but there is no agreement that anyone has yet definitely located the trouble. It is here suggested
that the trouble lies: (1) in the falilure to study the processes
of government as a whole; (2) in the failure to relate them definitely to the world about, and particularly the world of business
and related interests. To make such study will require the
realignment of materials on the broadest scale, so that doctrines
and rules and theories will be somewhat submerged, and other
factors in the processes will be allowed to come to the surface.
(1) Groupings of Materials.
The following are possible comprehensive groupings of related matters under which materials could be aligned for teaching and other purposes. The subjects as now taught in various
schools are listed (though not exhaustively) beneath each heading, to indicate roughly the sorts of materials which would fall
under each. These subjects are fragmentary, and greatly overlap. Doubtless more comprehensive courses could be devised
which would better relate the entire subject matter. Probably
some of the subject matters would find a better place under other
headings.

�This arrangement does not require that there be only one
professor in a division, or that a professor might not be interested in more than one division. The utmost flexibility will be
found necessary.
The total amount of endowment suggested for this purpose is $3,750,(X)(). The total number of the teaching staff suggested is twenty-four. This would give an average of some
twenty students per teacher on a basis of a four hundred registration, and four courses per student. Obviously, this is a maximum for anything like good teaching.
The amount of endowment indicated is conservative. At
some of the other law schools, endowments for professorships
run from $250,(X)() to $300,(X)(). In our own case, the proceeds
from tuition will have to be relied upon to make such adjustments as may be required from time to time. Needless to say,
there are few other forms of endowments so fruitful as that of
man power. The assurance which the endowment of a faculty
of twenty-four persons for an indefinite duration of time would
give the legal profession and the country at large in this institution and the successful execution of its plans, would do more to
insure the success of the school than any other factor. Probably
such forms of endowment have been the least attractive to benefactors. This can only be understood on the basis that permanent organization of scientific undertakings is a comparatively
recent development and ha:s never been properly evaluated. As
we conceive, there is no way to exaggerate the importance of
this part of the suggested program.
It will be noted that the divisions of subject matter suggested are each important, and are certain to remain so as long
as there is an organized society. These divisions are elastic
enough to accommodate any turn that government or business
may take. It is belie'ved that the name given each heading will
be readily understood by those who may be interested in such
matters.
'
(3)

Supplementary Suggestions
A supplementary program which would probably prove
more attractive from the standpoint of endowments than the
more formal one here suggested, and which would permit a
similar development, but in a somewhat different form, is also
suggested. It is believed that there are citizens of wealth and
vision whose ideas coincide in large part with the foregoing
statements. They would doubtless be interested enough to endow
a professorship in some narrower line which could be fitted into
the general program. The following subjects are suggested
as peculiarly appropriate for such purposes, inasmuch as they
vitally affect large business and social interests which are sub16

�jected to severe governmental controls. The solution of their
relations depends upon scientific treatment:
INSURANCE
GENERAL BANKING
INVESTMENT BANKING
CORPORATE ORGANIZATION AND FINANCE
TRANSPORATION
INTERNATIONAL CREDITS AND MARKETING
INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS
TRUSTS
REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT
PUBLIC UTILITIES
ARBITRATION
CONSERVATION OF NATURAL RESOURCES
COOPERATIVE AND SUBSIDIZED AGRICULTURAL MARKETING
FAMILY LAW

An endowed professorship for the study and teaching of
any considerable number of these subjects would contribute
more to their solution than any other method which could be
adopted. It would insure gathering of the best thought as
might be found in the form of literatu11e, and would subject to
impartial analysis over a continuous period the factors which
enter into such enterprises of the modern business world. Furthermore, it would give the enterprises of the country a source
of supply of legally trained men who could be brought into
their service already understanding their problems. Certainly
nothing would so attract, the eyes of the professional world ,
both legal and business, to this law school and university.

D.

Res,earch and Experimental Organizations.
The fostering of research and experimental organizations is
rapidly becoming one of the chief concerns of every leading law
school. Their value has been demonstrated time and time again.
This school is benefiting in the way of prestige and scholar1ship
as much as any other school from efforts along this line. The
three outstanding publications of the profession of this section
have been fostered in this institution, viz. Illinois Law Review,
The Journal of Crimin'al Law and Criminology, and the American Judicature Society Journal. The Illinois Law Relview is
one of the high class legal perfodicals of the country'. The plan
permitting the association of the two other leading law schools
of the State in its publication was a happy one. Th.e Journal
of Criminal Law and Criminology is the only one of its kind
published in the English language. Its standards have given
the school wide acceptance in foreign countries. It has steadily
promoted the interest in criminal law administration in this
country, and is gaining a constantly widening field of influence.
The American Judicature Society Journal is probably the most
17

�widely read legal publication jn this country, and has doubtless
done more for moderniz,i ng the administration of law than any
other similar agency. There can be no estimate placed upon
its value. All of these enterprises encourage scholarship on
the part of faculty members, students and members of the pro£ession at large, to say nothing of the impetus they give to the
readjustment of legal processes by legislatures and courts. They
give an outlet for much talent that would otherwise find no
market. They are essential to the program of the school. They
have already seen their pioneer days. They are well established
in every way except financially. Funds are badly needed, especially for the two last named. A $50,000 endowment for the
Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology, and a $100,000 endowment for the American Judicature Society Journal would
place them in a position of extending their services probably
ten to twenty fold. The additional strength they would gain
from such permanent financial backing would develop very
rapidly.
In addition to these publications, the moment the school
gets under way with any such program as here indicated, the
necessity for a publication fund for small books and temporary
editions of materials will be very great. The returns from such
publications usually meet their cost, but give no profit; thus.
publishers are not interested in them. A revolving fund of
$50,000 should meet this demand. The income from such part
as is not in use would probably offset the small losses incurred
from time to time.
The direction of such organizations as the Air Law Institute, the Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory, and the Institute of Criminal Law and Criminology, must be encouraged.
The financial support for such enterprises will of course come
from foundations or groups of interested citizens. It is enough
that the school furnish housing facilities and supervision for
the development of the progriams of such enterprises. It is
believed that the utilization of such methods for making special
investigations of various sorts has just begun. They are but
another indication of the attempts being made to deal scientifically with .t he problems of government and business.
The Legal Clinic has all the possibilities of the Medical
Clinic. It combines training of young lawyers, both in peacefully adjusting and in litigating claims, which a much needed
service to those who are not able to command first rate legal
talent. It gives to the student a feeling of actuality and dignity which can not be obtained in dealing with simulated pmctice cases. It assists the courts where they find it hardest to
function with promptness and precision. Its success lies in
the competency of its direction and the extent of its activities.

�It should be operated on a basis which would enable a fair
showing to be made. It would seem to be capable of very great
development. It aan well use $15,000 to $20,000 per year from
the very beginning.

III. THE COMPLETION OF THE PHYSICAL PLANT
A. Building.
( 1) Dormitories.
The plant so far as developed is as well adapted to law school
needs as could be imagined. It is the result of a long period of
study, and comes more nearly providing for all the needs of
faculty and student than any other plant in the country, but it is
still incomplete. First, the lack of dormitories, for say fifty to
sixty per cent of the student group, is a drawback which cian not
well be exaggeraited. Probably two to four hours per s1tudent
per day are lost through the want of quarters adjacent to the
plant. At present the benefits of the library, except during the
day, are lost. The advantages which comes from ,t he close association of students can not be found other than in dormitory
quarters. A dormitory quadrangle immediately east of the
present plant and proposed extension of the Library building
would be of the greatest value •to the school and to the whole institution. The building would probably cost $400,000. The
rentals should be adequate to its maintenance.
This topic will be more fully developed at an early date.
(2)

and (3) The Library Building.
The Library building is only adequate for the present library
collection of books. W 1ith anything like moderate support for
the library collection, the library space would have to be doubled,
say with a period of ten years. It can be extended to the south,
with wings to the east, and with a building similar in design parallel -to the present building, fronting on Chicago A venue. A small
quadrangle would give -both light and ventilation to the complete
library plant. The extension along Chicago Avenue would be
permanently used for additional offices and instructional work.
The organizations now housed in the Levy Mayer Building
would be moved to quarters :adjacent to the Library. Inasmuch
as each of these organizations requires its own special library, it
would be very advantageous to have them quartered so that their
collections ,of books would be available as part of the whole
library system. Other parts of the library building should be so
arranged that they can be used by graduate students, and others
who are engaged upon special investigations. With the increasing -demand on the part of foundations and groups of citizens
upon institutions like this law school, for space and for supervision of projects looking to the general welfare of the commuity
19

�and the nation, it is an easy guess that all the space afforded by
the additional building program suggested would be put to use
as soon as available, and would be constantly kept in use pending
the additions to be made to the library collection.

B.

The Library Collection.
The library collection of books as it is now housed fo the
Elbert H. Gary Library of Law, is indeed a choice one. It is
distinctly an aggregaite of collections, rather than a complete
library. If there were ever any doubt about the value of having
at hand the knowledge of the institutions of other countries, the
demand of the commercial interests of the community, together
with the advances recently made i'J transporation and communication, have removed such doubt forever. All the funds which
can be found will be required to continue the building of these
collections. But to continue the building up of a library along
this line requires the services of experts who knO'W, how to
select. They could also be utilized in the various divisions
already outlined, for instructional purposes. We estimate the
needs of the library, conservatively, at $50,000 a year, of which
amount probably $40,000 would go into books and $10,000
into man power. In this way the library could not only be
developed intelligently, but it could be developed at the least
expense. Thi s would be preferable to spending a large amount
of money in a short time in an attempt to make a complete
collection of everything that might pertain to the subject of
law. It need not be stated in this connection that a library
is the first essential of legal scholarship. A law school simply
can not get along without it. It is the one thing that all people
interested in law schools fully agree upon. There is nothing
about such an institution which increia.ses in value so rapidly,
arid which is more enduring. Before it beoomes too huge, it ought
to be so ordered that it can be available with the least expense.
There is no more urgent need about the School than the
i~mediate taking in hand of the very remarkable c9llection of
books which the School now has. Every day of delay means
a larger expense when the job is undertaken.

IV. SUMMARY
Objectives.
Our objectives can be briefly summarized as follows:
I. To develop a student body in size and quality as will give
to its members the maximum training and development possible
in law school, to the end that the institutions of society which
use lawyers may have good ones.
II. To develop a faculty composed of able lawyers, scholars
and teachers, who are sufficient in number for the instruction demanded by students, and for undertaking the realignment and
20
A.

�publication of legal subject matter from the standpoint of the
needs and problems of the present day for the purpose of affording the basis for the broadest training of young .lawyers and
teachers, and for the use of the profession at large.
III. The completion of the present superb plant by the extensions and additions to .the library building for the collection of
legal literature, the accommodation of graduate students, offices
for additional members of the faculty, and the housing of the
special organizations of research and publication which the
school has already fostered and will foster.
IV. The building of dormitories for say two hundred and
fifty students, to the end that as a group they may have the added
benefit of close association, and the facilities of the library and
plant continuously.
V. To complete, keep up to date, and arrange the splendid
collection of legal literature which the school has as a gift of one
of its generous benefactors and friends.
VI. To give to Chicago and Northwestern University and
their community the advantages to come from the best developed
law school in the country.
VIL To give to government and business (society at large)
whaitever contributions toward the solution of their problems and
the furthering of their interests that the science of law can be
made to give.

B.

the objectives are as foUows:
$ 200,000
I. Student Loan Fund
- 3,750,000

TOTAL

$ 6,450,000

The amounts stated are moderate. They are stated in terms
of indefinite duration. Comparatively speaking, no other institution which has anything like so large a part to play in human
aotivities can be so inexpensively capitalized and operated. Our
objectives reach far beyond courthouses and legislatures. They
21

�involve every interest of organized society. In the hands of incompetent administrators government has too often proved the
enemy of the very interests it should support. No one knows
what a well supported law school devoted to a comprehensive
program as here outlined, could contribute toward adjusting the
relations of government and business, for it has never been attempted. But it is our belief that legal science is still in its early
stages, and that is has all the potentialities of science in other
fields, where its methods and contributions are no longer questioned. Our own School and University, situated 'in this vast
region of natural resources, business enterprises, and population,
have no other alternative than to take the lead in attempting to
subject governmental processes to scientific control.

A.

GENERAL SUMMARY
The Field.
(1) A populous, weathly, vigorous and intelligent society.
(2) Business, industry and institutional life on the largest
scale ever known to man, conducted with all the aids
that the ever expanding physical sciences can give.
(3) Governmental organization and legal processes archaic, overloaded, inadequate.

B.

The Problem.
To bring to the organization and processes of government
the same scientific methods which now support and protect
the otherwise general high social order. Such methods must
provide preventives against harms to citizens and their interests, as well as prompt and not too expensive agencies for adjusting the hurts incident to a vigorous society. The former
will require the overhauling of basic policies and the development of a more responsible machinery for political control, the
latter a better organized and more intelligently manned police
system, together with a more highly co-ordinated system of
courts and procedural devices. Both will require more emphasis
upon personnel and less upon the enactments of rules of law.
C. , The Responsibility for Scientific Treatment.
There can be no science without scientists. Scientists are
trained by severe study and discipline. The formal professional
training of governmental scientists under the modern method of
organized education falls to schools of law. The arbitrary divisions ,o f the social science field found in the undergraduate
college under the heads of Government, Economics, History, etc.
come to a focus in the graduate School of Law where the problems of business and social interests are examined from the
standpoint of governmental control and adjustment-the subject
matter of the science of law.
22

�The ultimate stability of all human activities depends upon
the development of an adequate science of law. This development can not be found.in the customs and rules and governmental
processes of the days of Coke and Blackstone, nor even those of
Greenleaf, Story, and Cooley. When business and institutional
life generally undergo such radical changes as have taken place
within the past half century, government and law must follow.
The fact that today the great majority of law schools are still
training men as though such changes had not taken place, is
distressing; so much so that the development of strong schools
of law equipped to handle social problems as the medical school
is doing in the field of health is the next great step in the realm
of science. The gap between the social sciences and the physical
sciences must be closed.

D. The Process for Scientific Training.
The process for scientific training will be found to be based
upon a combination of the following ideas, most of which have
been fully sustained by long experience.
(1) The dominant idea of close association and group
study so highly developed in the English Inns of
Court.
(2) The apprenticeship idea of the office training era with
the close personal contact between a lawyer and his
clerk is brought over to the teacher and his closely
directed and supervised small student group.
(3) The idea also taken from the office training era which
focussed the study and training of the apprentice upon
-actual litigations and business problems of current
validity. It may be noted that this factor probably
accounts for the strong fiber of practicality and the
rational basis for passing judgment which characterized so many American lawyers in the recent past.
( 4) Th e later case-book development with its severe discipline in analysis to be given first-year students,
followed by independent investigation, analysis and
clinical experience during the second and third years
with increasing intensity. In this it is sought to
develop in the later years of the student's training the
precision, the independence of judgment, and the
broader understanding which come to the case book
maker as opposed to the case book student, and which
also in somewhat less degree come to the law clerk
during hi s first few years in the modern law office.
( 5) The recognition that government and business have
in large measure both broken away from the processes
of the court house and that th ey a re more and more
23

�making use of numerous other agencies ranging from
the commission in its multiple forms, the devices set
up by particular business groups as arbitration, to
the constantly increasing volume of the very practical
agencies of the law office itself.

In all of these ideas the collegiate mapping of the fields of
learning into distinct compartments, as history, government,
economics, philosophy, law, etc., is ignored, and the compass of
study is enlarged to include the whole of the processes employed
to control the conduct of men and to adju st their interests in
their multiple relations found in government and business.

CHRONICLES. OF THE SCHOOL

A New Professor
The Air Law Institute
The Scientific Crime Detection Laboratory

A New Dean

August 29, 1929
A NEW PROFESSOR
Frederick Dow Fagg, Jr., was in April, 1929, appointed resident
professor of law. Mr. Fagg, who is a Californian by birth, graduated from Redlands University with the degree of A. B. in 1920.
During the World War he had served in the Air Corps. After
the war he studied in Harvard University, specializing in Economics and History, received the degree of M.A. in 1921, and was
instructor in Economics in 1921-22. Accepting an appointment
in Northwestern University as Instructor in Economics, he pursued at the same time the regular course of studies in the Law
School, and graduated in 1927 with high rank and with the
degree of J.D. He then returned to California as Assistant ~rofessor in the School of Commerce of the University of Southern
California. In 1927, an exchange professorship in Air Law with
the Albert University, of Konigsberg, Germany, had been founded by Col. W. Jefferson Davis, of San Diego, and Professor Fagg
in 1928 was appointed to fill that post. The academic year 1928-29
was spent by him in K onigsberg, at the Air Law Institute of
Albert University; and while there, he was offered and accepted
the appointment as professor of law in Northwestern University.

,,

�He has spent the summer at San Diego, his home town, and will
return to Chicago by September 1.
Professor Fagg will have charge of the Law School courses
in Trusts, Quasi-Contracts, Persons, Transactional Instruments,
and Office-Briefs, and will also act as Faculty Committee on
Registration. At the same time, he will organize the Air Law
Institute, mentioned below.
Professor Fagg's published writings include an interesting
article on "The International Air Navigation Conventions", in
the University of Southern California Law Review for May, 1929.
THE AIR LAW INSTITUTE
In August, 1929, was incorporated the Air Law Institute, to
be affiliated with Northwestern University. Its stated purposes
are "to furnish information and instruction concerning air law in
all countries of the world, and generally to promote the sound
development of air law in the United States of America".
The Insititute is a corporation not for profit, and its affiliat ion with Northwestern University will assure its disinterested
and competent service to the legal profession and the public.
Its initial activities will consist in (a) an information service
on air law to all inquiries, (b) a two-weeks summer school in
June, 1930, open to lawyers throughout the United States, and
offering courses of lectures by eminent air law experts from
England, France, Germany, Italy, and the United States, as well
as round-tables for discussion and exchanges of experience by all
who have had to do with air law. Later developments will
doubtless include an air law review, research by graduate fellowships, etc., etc. · Suggestions are invited from all Alumni.
The Air Law Institute budget is financed by the Daniel
Guggenheim Foundation for Aeronautics, and a number of Chicago patrons of aviation, including Col. Robert R. McCormick,
'04, of the Chicago Tribune. Earle vV. Reynolds of the People's
Trust and Savings ;Bank, Edward D'Ancona, '88, Elias Mayer,
'03, M. L. Emrick, and others. The subscribers, together with
Reed Landis, the distinguished Chicago war-ace (now president
of the Reed Landis Advertising Co.), and George A. Mason, '94
(a trustee of Northwestern University) , form the corporation's
Board of Directors.
2

�An Advisory Board of air law experts from other cities is
in process of formation.
The Managing Director is Professor Fagg, above-mentioned,
whose connection with the Air Law Institute at Konigsberg (the
first of its kind in Europe) indicates him as especially qualified
to take c_h arge of this the first Air Law Institute in America.
The establishment of the Institute is due to his initiative.
In October, a pamphlet describing the program of the Institute will be sent to members of the Amercian Bar Association
and others interested.
Communications may be addressed to The Managing Director, Air Law Institute, McKinlock Campus, 357 East Chicago
A venue, Chicago, lllino1s.
THE SCIENTIFIC CRIME DETECTION
LABORATORY
In July, 1929, was incorporated the Scientific Crime Detection La·b oratory, affiliated with Northwestern University. Its
establ-ishment is due to the public-spirited initiative of Mr. Burt
A. Massee (vice-president, Colgate-Palmolive-Peet Co.), and
grew out of his experience last spring as chairman of the
Coroner's jury inquiring into the St. Valentine's Day homicides
in Chicago. Having there observed the remarkable demonstrations by Col. Calvin Goddard, the eminent firearms expert, of the
practical value of scientific methods applied to the interpretation
of the physical evidence accompanying a crime, Mr. Massee
formed the resolution to bring about in Chicago the establishment of an institution which should put all the resources of
science at the service of crime-detection.
The stated purposes of the corporation (not for profit) are :
to engage in the practical application of all branches of science
to the detection of crime, and for this purpose to maintain a
laboratory and a library, to conduct inYestigations, to cooperate
with public officials and institutions of learning, and to give
instruction and expert advice.
No such institution, affiliated with a university, and thus
able to assure the public of its disinterested and competent service, has yet existed in the United States. A few experts of high
standing-such as Mr. Luke May, of Seattle, Washington, Pro3

�fessor Hinrichs of Berkely, California, Prnfessor J. M. Mathews,
of Madison, Wis., and Mr. Robert Faessler, of Wilkesbarre,
Pennsylvania-:-have covered a wide range of fields in scientific
assistance to police inquiries. But this will be the first Laboratory offering service in all branches and affiliated with a University.
The Board of Directors includes Mr. Massee as president,
Mr. Walter A. Olson as vice-president, M,r. Dana Pierce (president of the Underwriters' Laboratory) a,s treasurer, and Mr. J. H.
Wigmore as secretary. The budget is financed by a group of
public-spirited Chicago citizens, whose names will be announced
later. A group of advisory consultants in the various branches
is now being selected by a University Committee consisting of
Messrs. Crossley and Wigmore (Law School), J. P. Simonds
(Medical School), and R.H. Gault (department of Psychology).
Col. Goddard has been chosen as Managing Director, and is
now in Europe inspecting the official laboratories already maintained at London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, Ro'me, Lausanne, and
Lyon. An Assistant Managing Director will soon be added to
the staff. The location of the Laboratory will be somewhere on
the near North Side of the city.
It should be understood that the Laboratory is in no sense
a school for training police-aspirants. Its work will be to make
scientific analyses of physical evidence of crimes, when called
upon for help by the police or coroner or prosecuting attorney
of any municipality. In this program it has received the heartiest expressions of encouragement and support from the Coroner
of Cook County, the Commissioner of Police of Chicago, and the
State's Attorney of Cook County.
A NEW DEAN
On July 8, 1929, the Board of Trustees of the University
adopted a rule fixing the retirement-age at sixty-five for deans
of facultie~. and this rule automatically retired the Dean of the
Law School on September 1st. At the August 27 meeting of
the Board, his status as professor of law was continued; and
ABNER LEON GREEN, professor of law in Yale University, was appointed Dean and Professor of Law.
The following two letters tell the story:

�LETTER FROM THE RETIRING DEAN

August 27, 1929.
My dear Leon Green:
Nearly two years ago I informed the President of the University that, as soon as a successor acceptable to all parties
oould be found, I should wish to be retired from the post of
dean of this Faculty (remaining, however, as professor). I had
occupied that post since 1901; I would soon reach the age limit
provided by the statutes of this University; and I desired earnestly to be free as professor to resume the legal studies which
have been so greatly encroached upon by our recent building
enterprise and other administrative activities.
This proposal had meanwhile been pending. But I have
now been notified by the President that action confirming my
retirement as dean, and allowing me to serve exclusively as
professor, was recently taken by the Trustees of the University;
and that my successor had been appointed, to wit, yourself.
As your nomination by the President was made on my
reoommendation, and with the unanimous assent of my colleagues in the Faculty of Law, you may well •b elieve that I am
much gratified at this choice and at your acceptance of the post.
Our long friendship-the impressions received by all of us
during your sojourn here ( only too brief) as, a member of the
1924 summer faculty,-your notable contributions to the literature of original legal thinking,-your eminent standing both as a
practitioner at the Texas Bar and as a progressive member of
the teaching branch of our profession,-all these elements combine
to indicate the choice as most fortuna1:e. Your equable and
accommodating temper as an associate makes certain the continuance of a harmonious faculty.
Your fraternal attitude
towards young men assures an inspiring influence with the
student-body. And last, but not least, your generous respect
(so repeatedly revealed) for this institution of ours, and your
genial g ifts of tongue and pen, make it certain that you will
acquire and retain the hearty personal support of our Alumni,
as well as of ,t he Bar at large.
As this school is by choice one of limited numbers, its
Faculty has always fortunately been able to maintain cordial
relations with the individual Alumni, and to retain in the busy
activities of mature professional life those friendships which
were begun in student days. And therefore irt is an especial
satisfaction to know that my successor is to be one who by his
nature will help to confirm this tradition of our Faculty, and to
consolidate that loyal support of our Alumni for which our
Faculty has always been gra,teful.
I am said to be (among living incumbents) the dean of
longest service in any American law school; and I was about
5

�your age when first appointed. I wish for you (if you should
wish it) as long a service-record, but ·better and wider accomplishments for the Faculty under your leadership.
Assuring you of the hearty support of all of us, and of my
gratification that you have honored Northwestern by accepting
its call, I am,
Yours cordially,
JOHN H. WIGMORE
LETTER FROM THE NEW DEAN

August 28, 1929.
Dear Dean Wigmore:
The honor that you, the Faculty of the School, and the
President and Board of Trustees of Northwestern University
have conferred upon me is the highest expression of confidence
that could be given any one in the law-teaching profession. The
responsibilities that such confidence implies are correspondingly
heavy. I am glad that you have given me this opportunity to
express my appreciation of the honor and to indicate my sensitiveness to the responsibilities.
Probably few people know what has taken place in legal
education during the span of your service as a law teacher. The
story could not be told briefly. It can possibly be glimpsed
through the statement that the developments in law schools
during the past thirty years have been somewhat upon the same
scale as have those in transportation, communication, cities, universities and other units of our rapidly developing country.
With reference to your own Law School I only repeat what
I have heard others frequently obs•e rve. Your school has contributed as much to law school development and legal education
as any other school in the country. In the quality of your published productions, both those of you,r own group and those on
the part of others who have reacted to your stimulation, you
have no rival. In quantity per man you score most heavily. In
men who have served on your faculty, many of whom have later
served elsewhere, there are none who have received greater
recognition. In th liberalizing influences that have been exerted
upon the courts of the oountry and the profess·ion at large, no
school can claim a larger share. In the setting up of plant and
facilities for study you and your friends have done all that art
and science can do-and that in the heart of an enormous city.
You have set the standard for aligning school and profession in
sympathetic relation as no other institution has succeeded in
doing. In your alumni you have given your state and profession
a body of lawyers and citizens whose services are known to the
entire country.
6

�You have kept at least a generation in advance of the legal
profession in the development of legal science-the peculiar mark
of a successful law school. And the marvel of it all is that all of
these things have been done at a cost in man power and dollars
which falls incomparably below that expended by any other institution in your class.
And yet you know better than I that the development in
legal education and its spheres of influence have scarcely been
set under way. That your school should lose your leadership
at this time creates nothing less than a crisis in law s chool development. Your profession needs your leadership for the next
thirty years as much or more than it has for the past thirty. It is
to be sincerely hoped that you are merely standing aside from
the details of the administra:tion of one institution to take the
place at large which is yours in the advancement of government
through the development of legal science.
While I cannot presume to think that I can take your place
even as the strictly administrative head of your law school, the
honor of being your successor in that place, the desire to have
a part in furthering the numerous advances which your school
has taken in so many directions, and the opportunity of developing whatever powers I may come to possess under the immediate
influence s of yourself and associates, are too great for me to forego. I assure you and your associates, your alumni and friends,
that your institution shall have all that I have to give.
But may I add that such a change in an institution's administration cannot be successfully made in any short time. The
patience, the solicitude, the sustaining influences of the general
administration, the immediate faculty , and above all the great
body of alumni and friends in and out of the profession are now
needed as they have never been needed before. Wi,th them to
rely upon, I am happy to believe that a dean cannot go far wrong.
I believe that the law school will continue its course of marking
the path of legal education and successfully t aking a part in the
development of the controls of that power we call law.
I can ask nothing better for the school than the continuance
of that generous support which alumni and friends have given
t o it under your administration. I am confident that if for no
other reason than in recognition of the life and service of John
Henry Wigmore they will give no less.
Very sincerely,
LEON GREEN

Mr. Green has had an extensive experience both as a practitioner and a teacher of law. Born in 1888 in Louisiana, he received the degree of B.A. from Ouachi,ta College, Arkansas, in
7

�1908. After three years of business operations on his own
account in western Texas, he pursued his studies at the University of Texas, receiving there the degree of LL.B. in 1915. Meantime, he had begun the practice of law in 1912 at Austin, Texas,
and continued in practice in Austin, Dallas, and Forth Worth
until 1920. For a part of this period he served also as adjunct
professor in the University of Texas Law School. In 1920 he
was appointed resident professor on that Faculty, retaining only
his appellate practice. During 1920-26 he contributed numerous
articles to the Texas Law Review, which he was chiefly instrumental in founding. He was active also in the affairs of the
Texas Bar Association. His teaching experience includes the
subjects of Civil Procedure, Agency, Criminal Law and Procedure, Torts, Domestic Relations, Damages, and the law pertainin to Oil and Gas. In 1926 he was appointed Dean of the Law
School of the University of North Carolina, with leave of absence
for a year as visiting professor at Yale University. At the close
of the year he resigned the deanship at North Carolina and accepted an appointment on the Yale Faculty of Law. In 1928 he
was given the honorary degree of M. A. by Yale University.
During his incumbency at Yale University he has published
notable contributions in the field of Torts and Procedure, and he
has under way at this time the development of teaching materials
in Torts and Procedure which are wide departures from the
usual methods of handling those subjects. His courses at Northwestern University for the current year will include Torts and
Criminal Law.
He is a member of the American and Texas Bar association
and the Connecticut Bar, and has regularly been a delegate to
the annual meetings of the Association of American Law Schools.

�FOUNDING , PURPOSE AND LOCATION OF THE LAW SCHOOL

7

Founding, Purpose and Location of the Law School

T

HE LAW SCHOOL was founded in 1859 with a sum of
money given by Thomas Hoyne, when there were only three
similar schools west of the Allegheny Mountains. The
first dean was Henry Booth, 1859-1891. For many years the School
was under the joint control of the old University of Chicago and
of Northwestern University, and was known as the Union College
of Law. In 1891, the other University having long ceased to share
in the management and being about to surrender its charter, Northwestern University assumed sole control, and the School has since
been an integral part of the University, and has borne its name.
The course of study is arranged to give a knowledge of the law
that will be indispensable to students wherever they may practice.
Graduates of the School are now located in nearly _every state and
territory, as well as in foreign countries. Special courses are offered
for acquiring a knowledge of the law of Illinois.
The Case-study system, or the study of the principles of law as
illustrated in judicial opinions, is followed in most courses of instruction; but each instructor follows his own judgment, in conducting the
classes by lectures, discussions, recitations, written exercises, or in any
way he deems best adapted to the subject. The extensive library of
the School, the Elbert H. Gary Library of Law, 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, near Lake Michigan, at Lake Shore· Drive and Chicago Avenue, Chicago, in its new
building, Levy Mayer Hall of Law, the gift of Mrs. Levy Mayer,
in memory of her husband, eminent at the Chicago Bar.

Limitation of Number of Students
The total number of students, candidates for a degree, that may
be admitted each year will be fixed by the Faculty and published one
year in advance. The total number of regular students, old and
new, is limited to four hundred.

When so transferred, the student shall be deemed a candidate for
the degree of Bachelor of Laws after four years from the date of

University. The work elected cannot exceed one year's w_o rk 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

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.·

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

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 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 leg;al
profession ;
(2) To ensure for every graduate a general intelligent acquaintance with the elemental principles in the entire orthodox compass of
the technical subjects of law, and thus to qualify him to do mature
work in the later stages of his study and to equip him to approach
any legal problem without serious gaps in large fields of essential
legal information ;
*The symbols here used for the courses refer to the list announced for
the College of Liberal Arts of this University; the University Catalogue will
show the correspondence with courses in other Colleges.

�'-

/

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL

(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 pne or another of those objectives.

EXERCISES IN FORENSIC WRITING, SPEAKING AND PRACTICE.

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

Pleadings and Other Instruments - The work of the Practice
Court necessarily involves the drafting of the requisite pleadings. In
other courses, particularly in Commercial Paper, Carriers, Insurance,
Transactional Instruments, Legal Bibliography, attention is paid to
the forms of instruments in common use.
Conveyancing-In the course on Conveyancing the chief material
consists of a series of selected abstracts of title representing a great
variety of documents and proceedings involving property rights.
Trial Practice-The courses on Procedure and Practice give a
systematic and detailed survey of the rules of law. The course on
Evidence includes an auxiliary drill in the use of the rules. The
Practice Court gives the third year student opportunity to become
practically familiar with these rules by the application of them in
litigation managed by himself.
Editorial Work-To edit and digest for the profession the opinion
and record of a decided case is of great value in cultivating the skill
required in preparing briefs and analyzing precedents. Each year
not more than seven second and third-year students of known ability
are appointed Associate Editors of the Illinois Law Review, to digest

rvanuscript decisions of the Appellate Court, and to prepare comments on recent judicial opinions. ·
LEGAL CLINIC-This is provided m three branches :

(I) ·Criminal Courts Branch-Students are assigned to assist

(2) Civil Branch-Members of the third-year class are assigned
for six hours, a week for one semester to the main office and the
district offices of the Legal Aid Bureau of the United Charities of
Chicago and the Raymond Foundation, where they work under the
direction of a member of the Law School faculty, and the eight
attorneys of the Bureau. In addition, the class meets one hour a
week at the Law School for inst-ruction. An examination is given
at the end of the course and a passing grade required of all students
befor~ graduation.

(3) Industrial Injuries Branch - Members of the courses· in
Labor Law and Industrial Injuries, which are given yearly, are
required to carry on in connection with the Illinois Industrial Commission a certain amount of clinic work. Permanent office space has
been assigned to the work of the clinic by the Industrial Commission.
The course on Public Records System ( Illinois Law) takes the
class personally to the various record-offices.
'
The course on Criminal Clinic gives the students
experience in
investigating facts and preparing for trial.

and of a third foundation for legal aid to poor persons has been
placed at the disposition of the Faculty of Law.

instruction; the publication of meritorious essays, monographs, or
books; the aid of research or preparation for publication; the award

LAW SCHOOL
Where Shall the Y oun8 Lawyer
Settle for Practice?

FOR THE ANNUAL LAW SCHOOL BULLETIN, ADDRESS THE SECRETARY
OF THE LAW SCHOOL.
357 EAST CHICAGO A VENUE, CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
Published weekly by Northwestern University, 301 East Chicago Avenue, Chicago,
Illinois. Entered as second class matter at the Chicago, Illinois, Post Office
Under Act of Congress of August 24, 1912.

�Where Shall the Young Lawyer Settle
for Practice?
This perennial question, which faces every graduate in law and
must inexorably be answered, with an irrevocable decision, has been
the theme of copious advice. Each advisor usually speaks out of his
personal experience. The seeker for wisdom may thus be misguided
by the narrowness or the localism of his immediate friend's experience.
Why not, then, take a broader horizon, and ask for advice from
a wide range of experiences-from the East and the West, from the
older and the younger practitioners, from the optimist and the
pessimist, from the metropolis and the small town alike?
This Bulletin offers a chrestomathy of advice, given in candid
fraternal spirit, from a varied assortment of temperaments, ages,
careers, and regions. It is culled from the replies to a letter sent in the
Spring to Alumni of this Law School outside of Chicago; the names
of persons and places are suppressed , but the States and the class of
graduation are given. The letter of inquiry was as follows:
April 15, 1927.
"To All Alumni Outside of Chicago:
A bout this time the Almanac tells me that I am due to ask you.
for your annual Advice to the Graduating Class.
'Where shall a man settle?' 'Shall I go West, Northwest, or
Southw est?' 'What about the big city versus the small town or the
county seat?' 'What regions need another lawyer?' 'Shall I hang out
my own shingle independently?' Such are the queries they are putting
to me and to themselves.
You men, tried and seasoned, can answer them,-at least, from the
point of view of YOUR experience and YOUR region. Please let
us have a page or so of advice, by May 10.-lncidentally, put in, for
the neophytes' benefit, any brief philosophy of law practice that you
would be moved to hand on to your younger brother.
Awaiting your help, I am,
Yours cordially,
JoHN

The Advice

Oregon

A man should settle where be believes he can get the most out of
life, looking at life from his own standpoint. The Pacific Coast and
the Northwest are delightful places to live. I doubt if any financial
consideration could take me bac¼: to Chicago or the middle west.
For the first few years I advise a beginner to start out with an
older lawyer.
P.S.: It is better to be alone than with an unethical attorney.
The first few years often shape an attorney's ideals in later years.

New York

1916

Annually, for eleven years, I have doubted my possession of the
somewhat broad experience and information requisite to give advice,
not misleading, to your graduates relative to the place and manner of
entry into practice. Doubts I have now, but perhaps eleven years of
silence satisfy conventional modesty. Such advice as this letter contains is eagerly given.
My experience should be stated, because it is a chief factor to any
value in my views. Prior to 1925 it was all in a city of about 40,000
in extreme western New York, all with one group of associates, first
as clerk and subsequently as partner. Our practice ranged through
nearly all the fields covered by Corpus-J uris-Cyc., and some other
fields. Since 1925 I have been acting as Deputy Attorney General,
arguing tax cases for the State in the appellate courts, and incidentally
obtaining some insight into conditions of practice throughout this
State.
If any graduate of your class of 1927 should care to stray this
far East, and establish practice in upstate ( as opposed to metropolitan) New York, in any of the smaller cities or larger villages, he
could, with just fair abilities and somewhat more than average persistence, make a useful, comfortable and influential place for himself
in any of them. Ordinarily the smaller the community, the less
expense and competition; but I do not weigh the latter advantage
heavily, because it seems true the more lawyers, the more business.
Competition is by no means ruthless, and the courageous soul who
hangs out his shingle independently will receive a certain amount of
small business and fees directed to him by respectful older attorneys
and judges. If he can pay rent for six months, and live a little more
modestly than a ribbon clerk for the next year, he will get his feet
under him; in four or five years he should attain to the small-town
opulence of five thousand net per year.

�All this is in the nature of expert testimony, a rather personal
vision of complex facts; it was to guide in accepting or rejecting it
that I stated my experiential qualifications.
To me the place and the local conditions do not seem so important
a factor in the reception of a new attorney as his willingness to work
and determination to succeed. For most, his home town, where he
can take advantage of the contacts into which he was born and
which he has already made, will serve best.

Texas

Advising neophytes is about as effective as the proverbial act of
freely dispensing aqua pura upon the upper anatomy of an aquatic
fowl made famous by the siege of Troy, an event probably so familiar
to the neophytes you have in mind that they will question my knowledge of history, ancient, modern and natural-naturally they will do
so, as the average neophyte is about as erudite, in regard to practical
matters, as the aforesaid fowl.
To answer your questions seriatim I would say:
1. Settlement should be made wherever the creditor can be found,
but let the neophytes come on to Texas and settle by check.
2. As you seem limited to only three points of the compass I
should say Southwest by all means, and preferably Texas, especially
South or Southwest Texas, "where every prospect pleases" and not
even man is "vile."
3. For pure unalloyed happiness choose the small town. See
unpublished dissertations of mine on the subject, which I am confident
are true, as I left the small town and learned too late my error.
4. Lawyers, real lawyers, lawyers with constructive ideas and
high ideals are needed throughout the length and breadth of this
broad land, and Texas is the place to start.
5. If there is any profession that demands independence of its
devotees it is the law, a jealous mistress, but one who rewards abundantly the faithful. A lawyer cannot reap the full benefit of his
profession except as an independent practitioner. It is impossible for
a lawyer to work for another lawyer or firm of lawyers and not find
himself hampered in the free expression of his views by thoughts of
the way his employer might be affected. A lawyer to enjoy to the
fullest his high prerogative as a disciple of Blackstone, Kent, Wigmore and Pound must be free to express himself on any and every
subject unrestrained and untrammeled, holding himself accountable
only to his conscience and his God. Legal instruments and law suits
cannot be prepared or tried as goods, wares and merchandise are
bought and sold. The high accountability to society, to the pro5

�fession, to his conscience cannot be met if he is to prepare any and
every instrument, try each and every case regardless of whether or
not the transactions or the suits are such as he would engage in were
he free to choose, as it is the right of every independent practitioner
to choose. So far as I know no mere employee of a law firm ever
made an independent name for himself, and it is almost impossible
for him to do so. I am almost in favor of withdrawing the right to
every lawyer in the legal departments of corporations to attach his
name to any pleadings or appear in Court, for the reason that no
lawyer devoting himself to one commercial enterprise can have that
independence of thought and action that should characterize a lawyer.
6. In conclusion let me say there is no better place than Texas,
for a young lawyer to begin, and particularly South Texas.

It is a matter of individual op1mon as to where a man should
settle, as to whether he should locate in a large city or a small town,
the opinion of each individual being governed and controlled largely
by what he deems to be worth while in life.

If a man has a desire to gain riches, he should never enter the
practice of law, either in a city or in the country, for it is only a
very limited few who gain wealth through the practice of law.
Practically all lawyers who acquire wealth acquire it through inheritance or through investments or speculations, and not through
fees earned.
From a city standpoint, law business in a state like Iowa is conducted on a very restricted scale; fees are not large, neither do overhead expenses engulf the lawyer.
My preference for a town of fifteen to fifty thousand is a firmly
fixed preference. I personally do not and never have enjoyed living
in a big city. I like to meet my neighbors, know my neighbors, and
have the contact with them which is impossible in a big city. I like
to rejoice with them over their good fortunes, and have them rejoice
with me over mine. There is a lack of personal element in a big
city which is supplied in a country town.
Wealth is of value to the individual only in so far as it will
enable one to obtain the comforts of life. I believe that a man can
live happily in the country to an extent which is impossible in a city.
It is a slow matter for any man beginning the practice of law to
acquire what can be considered a good practice. Any young man
coming into the country, who has average ability, who has good
morals, who is honest and who is industrious, will eventually acquire
6

�a law practice of which no one can deprive him, he alone having the
power to destroy it.
I believe that any young man should decide for himself where he
would like to live and die, and locate in that place; and by living
uprightly and working strenuously, he will prosper in his profession.
I am thoroughly convinced that a young man should never start
independently nor in partnership with another beginner at the Bar,
but should endeavor to connect himself in the beginning with a
middle aged lawyer who is of good standing in the profession, and
who is a real lawyer, and not simply a superficial business getter.
I can see no exceptional opening in this community for a beginner,
but beginners will locate here in the future and make good, the same
as they have in the past. Lawyers in this community, as in most
communities, are sympathetic with the young practitioners.

"Where Shall a Man Settle?" That very query came to me when
I left Northwestern University School of Law in December, 1915,
with about fifty dollars in my pocket, a traveling bag which contained all my personal belongings, and the happy knowledge that I
had successfully passed the State Bar Examination.
I solved that question in this manner. First, I tried to be fair
with myself, and took, as I believed, an honest inventory of my stock
in hand as a lawyer: My ability; my limitations; my acquaintances
and my friends in my community; my finances. Then I said, "I have
enough money to keep from starving for possibly one month. I also
have a meager knowledge of the law. If I go to the small town,
I have the same amount of money and no less knowledge of the law,
but I have all the advantages of acquaintances, friends, and the little
money and little law will go farther."
If from the West, go back to the west; or from Northwest or from
Southwest, my advice would be to return whence he came. Why?
Depending a great deal on the individual himself; his mental make
up; his temperament; his likes or dislikes for the place whence he
came; and the same applies as to the places he chooses to settle.
In the big city competition is stronger. Our most brilliant lawyers
are found there. Big corporations and businesses are directed and
guided by that type of lawyer. Law ·firms are made up of men of
that type.
I do not believe LAWYERS are made BIG LAWYERS by
having something handed them on a silver ·p latter. I do not believe a
lawyer is a great lawyer just because he has accumulated a great
7

�deal of money. I believe that is secondary and comes eventually to
the BIG LAWYER. Very few men in my opinion will ever be
the great Lawyer that Clarence Darrow is. I presume there are
men who will not agree with me. HOW STRANGE!
I am the "small town lawyer" and county seat lawyer. I returned
to my home town and have been here ever since. I could not
accustom myself to the big city; its noise, its hustle and bustle, its
never sleeping, the cold indifference of one man to another.
I like a small place, when, as I walk down to my office, I know
almost every man, woman, and child I meet,and can, and do greet
that person with a pleasant word or a wave of the hand.
"Small town." I love it. I am just a SMALL LAWYER. I
have a little home, plat of ground 80x380; berries, fruits; shade trees,
shrubbery, garden, chickens, a bird dog, that I keep the whole year
to hunt thirty days.
My home is modern in every respect. A lovely wife and a real
little mother to our children. Two red-headed boys, twelve and ten
years of age; a little girl eight with blue eyes and light hair, a smiling
face, and she talks all the time. Mr. Graduate, do you think my
home is modern and convenient? Do you think I am a failure as a
lawyer?
I -could not have had all these surroundings in a "BIG CITY."
Some lawyers could not have accumulated as much.
In closing I would say: Any region needs another GOOD Lawyer,
not alone for his skill as a lawyer, but because he takes enough
interest to have a home, takes an interest in all civic and community
affairs, and likes its institutions and its people.
My motto has been, not to look upon a client, as much as to say,
"What can I do you for," or, "How much can I do you for," but,
"What can I do for you."
"Shall I hang out my shingle independently?" The sooner the
better. You are then Master of all you survey. You can take the
cases offered you or you can turn them down. You feel bigger and
you are better when you look up a proposition for yourself.
In other words you are no bigger than your business, and I like
independence and not dependence.

Your annual letter, asking advice to the graduating class, is always

My reply can only deal with experience obtained after fourteen
years of general practice in Chicago, followed by seven years of

�practice m New York devoted to the interests of a single group of
companies.
It seems to me that the choice of a place in which to practice law
must depend largely upon the tastes and inclinations of the man
involved. Certainly it would be a mistake to locate where one had
no reasonable assurance of congenial work and associations. My
experience leads me to believe that there is sufficient legal work in the
big cities to distribute among the lawyers competent to handle it;
and, for a man who thrives in an atmosphere of nervous activity,
I should certainly recommend a large centre of population. On the
other hand, I doubt whether such an atmosphere would appeal to
the scholastic legal mind. For the latter I should think the environment of a smaller community would be much to be preferred.

tries that city first. If one is going there, I would advise staying in
Chicago. The same conditions exist, and Chicago is much the best

I like New Mexico much better than this State, but business conditions are nearly impossible there.

I may say that I hesitate to give any positive advice to new graduates. However, I do believe there is more in being a big frog in a

hang out his shingle independently, he is very likely to make better
progress in a small place than in a city. I am now speaking of the

Of course, the questions which you ask are the same old, old questions that always confront a graduate. We must have lawyers in
both the large cities and the country, and also in county seats and
often-times in other places distant from the county seat. I do not
know of any region that needs another lawyer, although I have always
been told that every community ·can use a good lawyer.
However, in all sincerity, from my brief experience, I would recommend that a young man starting the practice of law locate in the
place of his choice irrespective of every other fact, taking into consideration his personal characteristics, the climate, his political affiliations and the like. But I do not believe I would recommend anyone
locating in a city under fifty or sixty thousand, or at least I would
prefer such a location if I were doing it over. I believe it will be
found easier to get started in a small community. As much or more
honor attaches to the profession and practice, and life is probably
more congenial. But there are great limitations, or rather, there is
lack of the big opportunities.
Of course, the county seat is preferred for the reason that court
business is transacted at that place. Usually county seats are overcrowded with lawyers, and it is not as bad nowadays practicing away
from the county seat as formerly, when a person had to walk or ride
horseback or travel over dirt roads and take most of a day to get to
the court and return.
As far as practicing independently or with an associate, that all
depends on the individual. Personally, I started by myself and have
never regretted it.

I practiced for two years in Chicago after I graduated in 1890;
then went to a small town and came to the northwest in 1906.
I did not like Chicago-too big, noisy and dirty; too much of a
rush. I often go back to Chicago, or did before coming to the
Northwest, but was always glad to get away. That was my reaction
to a big city. I was a farm boy and small town school teacher before
attending law school, and I suppose that is the reason why I prefer
the smaller places.
The city means hustle, bustle, rush and crowd.

The law business in the Northwest is not "booming," by any
means, but we all seem to be making a good living.
10

�Prohibition, industrial insurance, and the various laws in regard
to workingmen's compensation, the adjudication of titles, line fence
disputes, water rights and many other elements that used to afford a
source of litigation, are making great changes in the profession.
There is a marked decrease of litigation since I came west twenty
years ago.
It seems to me as though a young lawer ought to go where there
are manufacturing and industrial pursuits, rather than to an agricultural community ; that is, if he wants to make money fast. If
he is contented to move along easily, make a good living, mingle with
his fellow men, enjoy life, do some community service, and develop
into what we may call a general practitioner, I advise the smaller
town or city.
Of course a county seat town is better than a small town which is
not the county seat. But sometimes those towns have many advantages over the county seat-not so much competition, less expensive and easier to begin in. On the whole, however, I would say,
locate in a county seat town.
A lawyer in a smaller place finds his place more readily than in
the larger towns. He has an opportunity to meet more people and
show his ability in a smaller place.
One disadvantage in a smaller place is that his business can only
grow to about a certain stage; there is only about a certain amount
of business in a small place, and even if he gets his share it will never
be anything big. In the cities one can always reach out and increase
his business, if he is fortunate.
Ordinarily a one man office is better than two; but I have had
two satisfactory partnerships. I guess as one becomes older he likes
to take in a younger partner, as I did three years ago. The temptation of the young man is that if he has a partner he will rely too much
on his opinion instead of getting in and digging out the law for
himself.
You ask for a little advice or philosophy to hand on to the younger
generation. I wonder if any of them will take it? Anyhow a few
lines may not come amiss. ( 1) Attend strictly to business. Don't
try to do anything else but practice law as long. as you are trying
to make a living that way. (2) Keep close to your office. (3)
Never do an dishonest trick, it does not pay in the end.

�There is a growing and naturally rich land out here in the Southwest- Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, and also dear through to
the Pacific Coast. Look up the thriving towns and cities in these
states and see for yourself; the people are first class too. I cannot tell
you exactly the town or city for you to choose. You must choose
for yourself.
These smaller cities-Capitals of Counties-and Capitals of wide
areas of agriculture, mining, oil and manufacturing are just the
places for the preparatory, as well as the life work, of a happy and
prosperous career in the legal profession, provided your qualities of
mind and heart are right.
The tendency in the rush for success is to take short cuts at the
expense of honesty. There is now much distrust and antagonism to
lawyers. If you have probity, perseverance, and righteousness in
your character, you can succeed in the legal profession in a large
measure. But if in haste to be famous and rich you are ready to
use tricks and dishonorable ways, you had better change right now to
some other business.

While reading the letters of advice posted on the bulletin board,
I used to think that if I could write a letter of advice to a graduating
class, if my diploma were old enough to be classed as an ancient
document so that it could be safely posted in my office, and if I were
once referred to in an opinion of the supreme court as "the learned
counsel" ( although always used to designate counsel for the losing
party), my legal life would be complete. The first is about to be
realized.
Iowa has always been known as a good place to practice law.
The territory, however, is now sleeping off the boom jag of 1920.
This is not so much of a disadvantage, for in times of depression
clients still need lawyers to put them through bankruptcy, etc., but
when the depression becomes too great, they can't pay. The fact that
the bar here is strong is a point in favor of the place, because it keeps
a youngster constantly working to withstand competition, and thus
promotes his growth, although it makes it harder to corral clients.
So much for the question, "Where shall a man settle?"
As to the big city versus the small town, the choice is entirely a
personal one. Obviously the town shouldn't be too small, because
aside from the sordidness of the story, there is some truth in "Main
Street." One can acquire a practice and earn a living in the city
as well as in the smaller place, but it takes not less than twenty

The answer to the question "What regions need another lawyer?"
is, "None."
"Shall I hang out my own shingle independently?" If one has
visible means of support, the answer to that question is, "decidedly,
yes." Alone, a man does his own work and gets the credit for it.
One should remember that an ideal partnership is like an ideal marriage-it seldom happens. I know of no openings in other law offices.
I think a young man with superior ability to get business could
come in here and make a go of it, although it might ta.ke him five
years or more. He would have to have some capital, make everybody
think that he is a devil of a fellow ( which might or might not be
true), play a little golf, and otherwise become a respectable and public
spirited citizen, dispense a good deal of bunk, and be reasonably well
prepared to take care of what business he might acquire. The most
notable fact about the practice of the law is that it takes a lot of
practice.
I think the economic situation in this section will right itself within
a few years, and I'm afraid that will happen too soon for Congress to
get the credit for it.
Iowa has a code. We have a delightful time trying to figure out
what it means. The early legislators, acting under the assumption
that everything at common law, particularly pleading and procedure,
was artificial, cumbersome, harsh, and generally bad, proceeded to
overturn the whole business. They rewrote the law, attempting to
make the code general enough to cover all possible situations, being
supremely indifferent to the exact meaning of terms, and consequently
it is hard to tell what the code does cover. There is great liberality
in matters of pleading. One can have a delightful ramble stating a
case, and conclusions of law are ignored as surplusage. Nobody
ever thinks of taking a default against anybody else unless he is mean
enough to deserve it. If your case is reached when you are m your
office or on the street, the clerk will call you and the court will wait.
The courthouse can't be more than a half a block away, and in going
there you always meet a half a dozen people you know. However,
this town is not quite out of the world. It is only $17.23 away from
Chicago.

Idaho

The West offers the best opportunity for young lawyers. There
are three States in the West in which, in my opinion, the opportunity
is unlimited for a young man starting in the practice of law. These
States are Idaho, Wyoming and Nevada. In each of these three
States, the natural resources are unlimited and are very largely
undeveloped. The population is sparse, but rapidly growing. New
capital and new enterprises are being attracted to these States constantly and the time is not very far distant when each of these States
will be leading centers in the West. If a young man is interested in
politics, any one of these States offers a fine field indeed.
A very large per cent of the population of these States has migrated
from the East to the West, and the peculiar part of it is that you do
not see these people returning Eastward. There is something about
the spirit of the West that is very entrancing. The spirit of growth
and development with an unlimited future ahead grips one in an
almost unexplainable way. Besides the industrial possibilities, we
have the unsurpassable beauties of nature and big game hunting as a
diversion. There are many County Seats in Idaho where a young
lawyer can, without difficulty, be elected the next State's Attorney.

If one desires to be independent and get away from the push and
jam, such as you see daily in the Chicago Court House, to where one
can see and appreciate Nature in its fullest extent and enjoy the
true spirit of fellowship, I would say that the West is the place
for the young lawyer to locate. In this part of the country, competing
lawyers have a very fine spirit and regard for each other. We can
accept and rely upon the word of a fellow lawyer in the West as you
cannot do in Chicago. While possibly the lawyers in the West
are not making the big fortunes, yet it is a fact that we are getting
more out of life than spending one-third of the time riding back and
forth on the elevated railroad.

Without theorizing, we have this practical problem. The graduating class consists of a number ( I do not know how many) of would
be lawyers, who must be marketed. The supply consists of firsts,
seconds and misfits. The firsts consist of those who will make lawyers ; the seconds, of those who will make members of the bar; and the
misfits, of those who ought to be exterminated before they are turned
loose as lawyers and not permitted to go out and fizzle on the
public. I will therefore disregard the misfits, as time will take care
of them.
The firsts and seconds, therefore, really constitute the supply.
What is the demand? North, South, East and West-no matter
where one goes, he always finds a real active demand for a good
lawyer. One who has the necessary preliminary education', industry,
power of analysis, honor and ambition.
Market Quotations:
Northwestern Yards, Chicago, Illinois.
Supply: Little good stuff, mostly common to poor.
Market: Brisk on good stuff. Slow to weak on common to poor
stuff.
Now, my advice is first: Each member of the graduating class to
take a personal inventory, a real honest one.
Second: Misfits! get a job at something else, and don't drag your
chosen profession down any lower. It's bad enough now.
Third: Others! get a location with chance for advancement and a
little bigger place than you can fill.
Fourth: If you can arrange for an agreeable connection with an
established office, it is much easier to start there.
Fifth: If none such offers itself, hang out your shingle, and make
up your mind to be a lawyer or an angel.

I feel very sure right now that the best part of the United States
for a young man to go, after having graduated at Northwestern , is to
west Texas. It does not make a great deal of difference which town
or city.
There will be a great deal of oil development in Texas the next
few years, although at the present time there is a depression which
15

�is hurting us all very seriously. But it will disappear, as it always
has.
The next best place that I know of is the Rio Grande Valley.
I located a young man at a little town in Florida and I just
received a letter from a State Senator who lives there, stating that
P. had made good, and would be one of the leading men of the State.
He has already stepped into a good practice.
I would say that a young man should get into an office with an
old time lawyer and get practical training for a few years, where he
would be kept busy all the time and learn to apply the rules of
evidence that you have taught him. There is nothing that makes a
man so nimble as actual practice.
In regard to the big city versus the county seat, it is my opinion
that the neophyte must decide that for himself, depending very
largely on the opportunity to get in with a good firm or partner.
Taking it all in all, I believe that Florida has gone through the
worst, and offers big opportunities in the next few years. But at this
time I believe that Texas offers greater opportunities for young
lawyers, well trained, than any other state in the Union.

If one of your young men is looking Westward, it might be well
for him to read an article on "The Aristocracy of the West," which

one never goes back,-not to stay.
The simplified procedure provided by the codes would no doubt
be a relief to those who have been trying to master Common Law
Pleading.
In the smaller towns the standard is not high. Your average
graduate, assuming that he is possessed of the fundamental virtues,
should be able to make a good living in the smaller county-seat towns.
I have heard complaints from these communities that they had too
many lawyers of the wrong kind. They welcome a man who can
maintain his own self-respect. If he is willing to donate the tim~,
and has sufficient organization ability, to help the community with
its problems and politics, and perhaps go to the Legislature, he will
get the practice which is worth having. At that, he may not be able
to retire before he is 80.
If I were to seek a new location, I think I should inquire carefully
into the standards maintained in the different communities under consideration, and would take my chances in that community which had

I suppose it is one of the annoyances of having graduated from
Northwestern, that I have to undergo once a year, in writing you
and telling you where to advise the law school graduates to go; but
as it comes only once a year I shall try to be resigned.
Your first question is "Where shall a man settle?" My advice
would be to settle in a place where he could get a good practice and
hold it.
Your next say, "Shall I go west, northwest or southwest?"
might go in either direction.

"What about the big city versus the small town or the county
seat?" Well, usually they are scrapping.
"What regions need another lawyer?" I don't know of any.
"Shall I hang out my own shingle independently?" Yes, if you
have the nerve and can succeed.
Seriously, now, Doctor, those are such all important questions
that I would not want to advise any young man, because if he acts
upon it, it would probably change the whole course of his life, and
wherever he goes and however successful he may be he will at times
think he would have been more successful had he not followed that
advice.
When I was a student at ·the law school I thought very seriously
of locating in Northern Kansas or Nebraska. In fact during the
summer vacation I wandered around at Hastings, Red Cloud, Grand
Island and many other places in central Nebraska and Northern
Kansas; but I had no more idea, after visiting a place, whether it
would be· a good place for a young lawyer, than a jack rabbit. Just
at the close of my senior year an old college friend who had come
to .. . . .. . .. ... advised me to come. The city had about forty
thousand population then and he was the only man in the State I
knew. I cut loose, came here, regretted it many times, walked the
streets hungry, had insufficient funds to get out of town and was,
therefore, forced to remain. I do not now regret it. Many people
have complimented me upon my foresight; it was not that at all,
it was unadulterated fool-hardiness, but I struck a growing city.
The young men who are just leaving your law school will probably
be victims of circumstances, just as I was. I hope they will be as
lucky as I was.
17

�Were I graduating from the law school I would go West, unless
I remained in Chicago. I would go to a county seat, for the man
who goes to any other place is eternally having to run to the county
seat, and it entails a great waste of time, inconvenience, and sometimes the press of business will prevent him going there to get some
data which he needs and he will take his chance on his recollection
of it, and perhaps be led into serious inconvenience and error. An
attorney is constantly having to run to the clerk's office, the recorder's
office and the court room over motions and like matters which take
but a few minutes of his time when he is at the county seat. But it
takes just as long to drive twenty miles to a county seat to get information which consumes but five minutes of time when he gets there,
as it does to drive there when he is going to spend the entire day.
Me for the county seat every time.
I do not know of any place which needs another lawyer. There
may be some, but I do not know, and have never heard of a place
advertising for a lawyer. Usually the lawyers find room enough
when they get there, but after all it is a question of the "survival of
the fittest" !
As to hanging out a shingle independently, I did that. I nearly
starved in doing it. 1Had I obtained a position in a good office, it
would have probably saved me eating green persimmons to shrink
up my stomach sufficiently to accommodate itself to the small rations
with which I had to regale myself, and it would have probably
saved me many blunders in my early practice. But such positions are
not always available, or if available, are not advisable, by reason of
the human element in every office which in some instances is annoying
and very undesirable. If a young man in a large city can obtain a
position in a good office and has sense enough and nerve enough to
quit it when he should and start for himself, it's a good thing. But
the tendency of a young man out from the law school who gets a
salary in an office sufficient for his then needs is to hang on and
hang on. He has to go through a starvation period in the practice,
and it is better to do that in the early years than to postpone it. The
M exican people are very slow and unprogressive, with them everything is "manana". I think you know that means "tomorrow!"
Put is off until tomorrow. But the young fellow might better face
that situation at twenty-four than at thirty-four.
So to sum it all up, my opinion is that it is best for the young man
to go west, get into a good thriving, growing county seat, not one
whose population is the same today or a little less than it was fifteen
years ago. If he can, then get in a good office with a good wide-awake
lawyer, who puts principle above everything else. Go in there for a
16

�short time, but make it a short time. Get acquainted wherever he
can, be pleasant, affable and agreeable with everybody, exercise a
sense of humor without overdoing it; when he meets anybody say
something that will cause his new acquaintance to smile without
thinking that his new acquaintance is a smarty; devote himself entirely to the legal practice; become interested in the welfare of his
City and its surroundings, without trying to run it, or running for
office; and he will succeed.
But he has to exercise patience, because the people where he goes
will probably not know what a wonderful intellect he has and what
brilliant prospects he has. But they will learn of his ability by his
display of it, coupled with a good sense of propriety and tact.
Yes, I think Horace Greeley was right, and I would say to the
young man, "Go West"; use your noodle; for Heaven's sake don't be
a smart alee, realize that you do not know very much and have a
world to learn; be pleasant, agreeable, make friends and avoid any
appearance of self-consciousness; then your friends will learn of your
ability, they'll talk about you to one another, they'll discuss your
good qualities and your bad ones, so conceal the bad ones and let them
see only the good ones; work hard, be honest with the court, with
your clients and with yourself, and you are bound to succeed.
That's the best advice I can give.

But our observation leads us to believe, that regardless of where

The same thing is true about practicing independently, or with
others; but every beginner should have an older experienced lawyer
or firm with or near him, to whom he can go when puzzled or
tortured by doubt as to what to do, and how, when or where to
proceed.
When Florida was soaring on the wings of the phenomenon commonly known as the "real estate boom," our growing pains were
19

�increased by a rapid influx of people with licenses to practice law.
The distinction between them and lawyers is even more apparent
now that we have made substantial progress towards normalcy; and
lawyers are always in demand.
A working knowledge of the practical mechanics of the profession,
and the ability not only to find the law, but to recognize and know
what it is when you have found it, are requisites of prompt and an
immediate success. The maxim "Keep your office and your office will
keep you" is of paramount importance. From my experience the
philosophy of the beloved practice may be summed up in the words,
"Work, Hard Work, and More Work."

I have been out of school almost five years and all of that time
has been spent practicing here. This has been my home town; and
my first advice to a yo\lng lawyer would be to begin the practice of
law somewhere other than his home town, owing to the fact that the
people who have known him for years never forget the fact that they
"knew him when he was so high."
As to the question of a young lawyer settling in a city vs. a smaller
town or county seat, I can only say that in my experience I believe
that it would be advisable to begin the practice of law in the county
seat of a good county, providing tl\e Bar there was not overcrowded.
I began the practice of law independently, and have for the greater
part of five years been practicing by myself, and I have found that it
has both its advantages and disadvantages. In the first place, unless
a young lawyer has resources of his own, he should not undertake
to practice independently, owing to the great overhead and the
small amount of work which he will receive during the first four or
five years of his practice. The advantage of this way of starting,
however, is that a young man is compelled to rely upon his own
efforts, and the experience that he gets this hard way will always be
remembered by him. One of the great disadvantages is that owing
to the small amount of work available to a young lawyer, he will
probably become discouraged, due to inactivity.
I have had some experienceof being associated with older lawyers,
and I find the advantage of this association is to receive the benefit
of their experience and also to be kept busy upon work that they
can pass on to a young lawyer.

In my opinion, the members of the graduating class should not go

West, unless they have some special opportunities in the West that
20

�are not afforded in the East. I would strongly advise remammg in
the larger cities and not settling in small country towns or county
seats. My personal opinion is that the entire country is over-run
with lawyers, and there is no longer any opening in any particular
locality or vicinity, excepting for those who have the ability to
reach the top.
Whether or not the graduate should hang out his own shingle
independently or associate himself with someone else, to my mind,
depends upon two things: First, the personality and temperament of
the graduate: Second, the ability of the graduate to meet and cope
with the competition that he will always encounter.
In my judgment, a graduate from a standard law school should
determine, before selecting a location, whether or not he prefers to
live in a small town or a city. If he concludes for the former, then
it would make little or no difference where he locates; if he concludes for the latter, then the commercial centers are unquestionably
more promising than less commercialized communities. In any event,
it would seem to me that the proper thing to do would be to arrive
at such a conclusion before determining upon a location, in order that
he will not in later years find himself desirous of changing. If he
does not make such determination, and his endeavors meets with a
fair degree of success, he will find that to change from the one to the
other is a very difficult task.

In my judgment there is . no way of determining toward which
point of the compass a graduate should turn his face to select a
location. He should first determine in his own mind in what part
of the country he desires to live and then locate there. After eight
years' experience in a large city (Chicago) and fourteen years' experience in a city of the one-hundred-thousand-class, I am of the opinion
that a man lives more comfortably and gets more out of life in a
small city than in a very large city. His personal contact with the
courts, the bar, and his clients, is much more satisfactory, although
the returns from his practice may be less.
To my mind, the most important question you have propounded
is the following: "Shall I hang out my own shingle independently?"
In answering this, I would emphasize the extreme importance of a
graduate obtaining a connection with a large firm of good standing
with a broad general practice, so that he may become thoroughly
familiar with general practice, in which he will have the benefit of
the experience and training of those with whom he is associated.

Your letter to the Alumni of April 15 is indeed flattering to those
of us who were graduated less than a year ago. You will therefore
pardon my presumption in seeming to base my suggestions upon actual
experience.
I cannot, without a conscientious pang of civic disloyalty, refrain
from extoling the virtues and desirabilities of this city to those of
your graduating class who have not yet decided upon a city in which
to practice. I have been here less than seven months, and while
I am far removed from my former home, I have never felt quite
so certain as I do at this writing that my choice of locations has
been a wise one.
Out of fairness to fellow members of our bar, I suppose that I
should mention the fact that there are over one thousand lawyers
actively engaged in practice in this city, and that most of them
would probably prefer that new arrivals come in the capacity of business men rather than of lawyers, but this same crowded condition
in a profession is undoubtedly existent everywhere, and I have really
come to believe that there is always room for the type of lawyers
who are trained at Northwestern. Even in this so-called period of
depression in the northwest, the profession at large seems prospercrns
enough to make living here worthwhile.
And this leads me to the second phase of locating here; that is,
the comfort and genuine happiness afforded by the most beautiful
city in the world and among a people whose hospitality is actually
aggressive. My own problem last fall was a choice between a small
town where a comfortable living could always be made and life
lived on perhaps a simpler and more real scale,-and a city of half a
million, combining the advantages of both the metropolis and a
small town in a delightful degree, where one would never make his
millions but might become passingly prosperous and at the same time
be in contact with a type of work where members of the bar and
judiciary provide ample mental stimuli. The contact with active
minds seems to offer the greatest attraction over too small a town.
To me, the choice would never be between a large city and a small
town, but rather between- a medium sized city and a small town.
I recommend the former.
22

�Your question, "Shall I hang out my own shingle independently?"
would always be a startling one to me. I have come to admire tremendously F. C., B. S. and those boys who have courageously
launched into practice alone; but I shudder when I think of my own
helplessness in such a situation and of the number of questions that I
ask each day of those about me. It seems to me that two or three
years of active practice in an office either belonging to or in association with an experienced attorney is much more desirable. To begin
with, there are plenty of clients, so that no time is wasted in waiting
for business; and secondly, the time that one might alone devote to
looking up or learning small bits of practice he can devote to learning
new and greater problems by simply asking those about him. Perhaps
in theory this is like looking at the answer in the back of the book
without working out the problem, but in practice I do not believe
that it develops a dependency which is harmful.
Lest I be accused of writing my memoirs of "fifty years at the
bar" by some of your legal lights who are still gracing the halls of
the school, and whose intimacy with me during the past two years
would probably reflect upon their respect for my admonishments, I
shall close with this final statement: My greatest regret is that I
ever felt for one moment during law school that there was anything
being taught, the later benefit of which would not depend entirely
upon the amount of study and attention given to it.

My advice to an attorney is to locate in a County seat and the
larger the County seat the better I consider the location. My
reason for suggesting a city of some size, is that there are more
people and more business, and generally better business, than in
small towns. Of course there are also more lawyers, but I do not
believe the proportion of lawyers in a larger city is as great as it is
in a smaller town, and fees are better in a larger city. One great
drawback in locating in a smaller town is that there is generally
one bank, and while a banker is not a lawyer, yet he does as much of
legal business in the way of giving advice and preparing papers that
are not complicated, as a lawyer would do, and the banker generally
has connection with some attorney in a larger place to do his
business. While it is true that the man who builds the best mousetrap will find footprints leading to his door wherever he is located,
yet there are many more feet to make tracks in a larger place.
My advice to a young attorney is to have as good a working
library as he can afford, and stick to his office and work, and any
case that he might have, no matter how great or trivial, to put in
23

�his best efforts, and familiarize himself with the law on all points
that might be raised on either side, and I would further suggest that,
if he is at all adapted to it, he take up trial work. While office
work and counselling are considered the cleanest and nicest work in
the profession, yet a good trial lawyer is an asset in a community.
The trouble with a young attorney forming a partnership, is that
he is apt to rely upon his partner, especially if the partner is an old
practitioner, for the points of law that he should dig out himself,
as it is so much easier to ask an older attorney questions that are
troublesome than it is to look them up.
There is one point I would like to emphasize, that was told me
when I started in practicing law, and that is, to always take the
Statute and read it upon whatever subject the question arises, and
familiarize yourself with the statutory law before looking up the
decisions.

As to city vs. country, I judge from my observation that a young
man will become established and self-supporting much more quickly
in a country town of 10,000 or less than he will in larger cities.
On the other hand, when one gets to the top in a large city he has a
much larger income than he could ever get in a small place.
As a practical suggestion about starting out, I personally think
that the practice of commercial law will aid materially in getting a
young man started. It will also give the young lawyer some income
right from the ·beginning, provided he can establish the proper connections. If starting out personally I would consult the Secretary
of the Commercial Law League (Chicago) as to the conditions in
various towns and cities.

The cities of the Pacific Coast, including California, Oregon and
Washington, have been advertised very extensively in various eastern
papers for a number of years past. The main purpose of these advertisements was to attract industries and men with capital to locate
here. The result, however, has not been to attract this class alone,
but also to influence a very large number of professional men who
came without much capital. After these men got here, they liked
it so well that they wanted to stay, so that at the present time, not
only the profession of law, but also of medicine and of other professions is now very much crowded. The opinion seems to prevail
throughout the East that there was a lack of well-prepared professional and business men on the Coast, and that this was accordingly
24

�an excellent place to locate, but the opposite of this is true. Many
well-educated and capable men have located here and like it so
well that they are willing to stay here and earn a smaller income
than they could do in the eastern cities, with the result that we have
some of the best trained and most capable professional men in the
country. In fact, I do not know of any place where the competition
is keener.
I could not conscientiously advise any of the graduating class to
come here expecting to build up a law practice. There are many
openings here for business men with ample capital, but not for professional men.

The location for the practice of law is not an easy one to determine
for the other fellow. From my experience, and in my judgment, it
depends entirely upon the aspiration or program of the individual
himself.
If he is inclined to favor the study and practice of commercial or
corporation law and desires to be among the most active and business
lawyers, he should, by all means, locate in a large commercial center,
in some large city. He will find, depending upon his own resources,
that the growth or development will be slow, requiring much patience
and endurance.
If, however, he is inclined to be of the studious type and desires
to know the development of the philosophy and science of the profession and the law, and is inclined to be content with a good living
and a reasonable reserve fund for later life, and is happy when mixing
with the non-speculative class of people, then he ought to locate in
some thriving, well-located County Seat country town or city of
from 5,000 to 20,000 inhabitants, or in an agricultural city of from
50,000 to 150,000 inhabitants. His promotion would be more rapid
than in the larger cities; his life would be easier and less disturbed in
his studies and general work than in the larger commercial eastern
cities.
This latter suggestion has always appealed to me as the most
commendable for constructive, intellectual and studious young men.
From out of this class of cities and towns came some of our greatest
lawyers and jurists. Roscoe Pound was an intimate friend of mine,
and was born and raised in the capital city of Nebraska, now 70,000
people. !Here he had the benefit of the open spaces of a country
life and unusual opportunity for study and research work.
There have been, however, a number of young lawyers who have
graduated from even the Law School of our own University who
25

�have gone to New York City and made great advancement and
reputation there, because in temperament and desire they were inclined
to that busy, pressing, industrial life.
Finally, it must depend more upon the temperament and disposition
and the hopes and aspirations and determination of the man himself,
than upon his location. Any young man who will be sure, from his
studies, to know the law and to know its application and its resources, will succeed anywhere in America; and I think much of that
success will depend upon the type of the man and his professional
program in life.

Your first inquiry is, "Where shall a man settled?" The answer
is, "Anywhere, just so he settles."
Seriously, I do not think it makes a great deal of difference, provided a gradute settles where there is law business to be done, and
that he actually settles down to work. If he will do these things
and there is the stuff in him, he will succeed.
Your next question is, "Shall I go West, Northwest, or Southwest?" Why do you exclude the effete East? Perhaps you think
they are lawyerized enough.
I believe I have already answered this inquiry, because it falls
in step with your first inquiry. There is this difference, however,
that the West, that is, the extreme Pacific Coast West, and the
Northwest and the Southwest contain elements that should be considered, and it occurs to me that the answer to the riddle should be
solved by the man himself. That is to say, the chances for success
are just as great in one place as another, provided there is law work
to be done. Of course, you cannot go and settle down in the desert
and expect to make a success practicing law. The inhabitantshuman and otherwise--don't particularly need lawyers in that region.
They have enough troubles of their own. So whether a man goes
East or Northwest or Southwest depends upon his own inclination
very largely. I would say that it would be helpful to a thoughtful
graduate if he would study the industries of the several sections
under question and then pick out the place which appealed to him
most from that angle.
This reminds me of an incident which I personally know of. A
man was n.o t making the success that he thought he should in practicing law and decided to go into business, and he selected the leather
industry. He chose this because he had always liked leather, leather
goods, and things of that sort. So it is with your graduates. If
they feel drawn toward the big timber and the fruit and the other
26

�products which thrive in the great Northwest, then that is the place to
go. If not, then some other place should be chosen.
Your next inquiry, in which you line up the big city against the
small town or county seat, is a problem. Not having practiced law
in a small town or county seat, I am more or less incompetent to
judge. However, I have tried a good many cases in small county
seat towns and have always been very greatly interested in the habits,
etc., of the local lawyers. If studious, they have a chance that the
city lawyer does not have, and of course you and I both know that
many city lawyers have started their careers in small towns and have
been called to larger places by force of circumstances. My own
personal opinion is that the young graduate had better associate
himself with some active firm in a large city where there is plenty
of work to be done, although in passing up the county seat he is
losing an opportunity to study and perfect himself in his profession
that he cannot have in the city.
You next inquire as to what regions need another lawyer. This I
cannot answer, except to say that all regions need another lawyer,
on the same theory that there is always room at the to'p.
Your last question, "Shall I hang out my own shingle independently?" I would answer this way: If the graduate goes to a city, no;
if he goes to a small town or county seat, yes. He will be almost
compelled to associate himself with some law firm if he goes to a city.
Otherwise, he cannot have the equipment nor the clients. But if he
goes to the county seat, particularly if he has some acquaintance, he
will do better (I should think) to go it independently. Usually there
are a couple of lawyers in each county seat who are in practically
every case, and of course on opposite sides. If the graduate allies
himself with one of these men, he limits his field of operation to a
certain extent, although, of course, he gets his feet wet immediately,
which he would not be able to do if he should go it alone.
I wish I could impress upon your students the importance of
cultivating a system. This is one of the most difficult problems confronting the lawyer. It is particularly easy to be shiftless in this
respect, and yet lawyers lose thousands of dollars by this same shiftlessness. The lawyer should cultivate the same regard for systematic
conduct of the affairs of his clients as the business men practice with
reference to their several businesses.

I have very few suggestions to offer except that it seems to me that
a young lawyer should either start in his profession in a small com27

larger communities.
The old saying that "there is plenty of room at the top" is very
true in the law profession of today, and it matters not where a man
locates if he is willing to be patient and diligent in his duties as a
lawyer.
At the present time industrial communities have the best locations
to offer. Agricultural communities are not prosperous, and therefore what demand there is for legal work is very easily taken care
of by the attorneys in those communities.

Southern California Counties offer a fine field for young Northwesterners. Here is a rich and rapidly growing country, new country,

for the County, but today we have 32 departments and the calendar
is eighteen months behind, so the legislature (just adjourned) authorized 10 additional judges, making a total of 42 departments
which will be working in ninety days.

Speaking generally, I may say that because of the lack of prosperity
in the agricultural districts, the opportunities for a young lawyer in

lawyers turned out annually by the State University largely settle
in our larger cities, and they seem to be sufficient in number to fill
every demand for clerks and assistants in the larger offices, and I see
nothing in the Northwest at this time particularly inviting to your
graduates. Of course, now as always, the future of every man depends upon himself. Some will succeed, apparently with ease under
adverse conditions, while others will not succeed at all.

better off. There is more business here, the bank deposits and
clearings are greater, and we have all of our wonderful climate,

If I were a young man seeking a location, I would come to
Florida. I do not mean by this that a young man, just out of law
school, can come here-and for that matter go anywhere else-without hard work and many privations ( unless he is blessed with a

General practice here affords little chance for a beginner. There
are too many attorneys, and very few large firms. The local schools
are turning out large numbers of graduates who have worked their
way through school by serving in clerical positions with the government. · There are throughout the year many young men who hold
on to their government jobs while trying to secure places involving
legal work. The supply of attorneys seeking to enter the field
always greatly exceeds the demand.·
The most remunerative and pleasant practice in Washington is
specialized work-Commerce, Tax and Patent law, and so called
"Departmental Practice." Entry to any of these fields can be made
successfully only by way of an apprenticeship in the government
service. There has grown up a belief that a five year minimum of
such service is necessary.
The government service is of two types, ( 1) the political positions, and ( 2) the civil service positions. An applicant for either
should weigh carefully the contact that the position affords with
those who must be his clients when he leaves the service, for continued government service is not attractive. The political positions
are well paid, but have many disadvantages. The civil service
positions are not well paid, the highest being with the Interstate
Commerce Commission. Examiners receive from three to a possible
six thousand dollars. But the higher salaries go only to those with
prior experience or long service. Salary increases are not rapid.
The positions, however, afford excellent training, certain contact with
prospective clients, and unlimited opportunity for the examiner to
prove his ability. Commerce cases are not suits against the government, so the Examiner when he leaves the Commission is not subject
to the general statute which prohibits a government employee from
conducting suits against the government during the two years following his retirement from the service.
The Income tax practice has not appeared as flourishing during
the last year or two as prior to that time. The applicant is handicapped by the statutory two-year bar referred to.
Patent practice, judging from the "want ad" columns, offers the
greatest opportunity right now, so far as prompt connections is concerned. I am not familiar with the remuneration feature.
Any graduate coming to Washington should first select the location
he intends to enter ultimately, keep in touch with it, and if possible
arrange his connections beforehand. Washington is a temporary
location for most of the lawyers who come to it.

As to where a man shall settle, my opinion is that the time to go
west, northwest, or southwest, has changed, and one should go in
the opposite direction, namely, going toward the large cities, for
instance, cities such as Cleveland, Detroit and Chicago. I am
assumi{!g from what I have seen of most young lawyers that the
dollar seems to be their principal goal. I sometimes wish it were
otherwise. I feel certain that the young, able, aggressive lawyer
will have the best opportunity in the larger cities, and especially
in the Eastern cities. We have a good supply of young lawyers in
our own city here.
To the young neophytes, I would say that the most important
thing in the practice of law today is justice and equity; and the
foundation of every lawyer should be a good character, to carry into
his profession. I sometimes think their certificate of good moral
charact~r, which receives so little attention, is more important than
the sheepskin. There is a great need today for the old school type
of statesmen, as it seems that our legislature is very largely made up
of the legal profession, and good men are always in demand.

�FouNDING, PURPOSE AND LocATION OF THE LAW ScHooL

7

Founding, Purpose and Location of the Law School

T

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

Limitation of Number of Students
The total number of students, candidates for a degree, that may
be admitted each year will be fixed by the Faculty and published one
year in advance. The total number of regular students, old and
new, is limited to four hundred.

ACADEMIC DEGREES.

(I)

The fourth year of a college course leading to a bachelor's
degree in arts or science may be spent in law studies in this Law
School, so as to lead in seven years to degrees both in law a_n d in arts
or science, in one of the following ways:
(a) A member of the third or fourth year class in good standing
in the College of Liberal Arts of this University may elect work in
Law which shall count toward his degrees in both the College of
Liberal Arts and the Law School, so as to receive the degree of
Bachelor of Arts or Science at the end of his fourth year in thi1
University. The work elected cannot exceed one year's work in the

�10

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL

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

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

5. EXERCISES IN FORENSIC WRITING, SPEAKING
AND PRACTICE
As a part of the systematic instruction represented in the foregoing curriculum, an effort is made to provide adequate training in
the practical use of legal knowledge and in certain important forms
of legal writing and speaking · which help materially to equip the
accomplished lawyer. Some of the various branches of work
directed to this end are as follows:
Pleadings and Other Instruments-The work of the Practice
Court necessarily involves the drafting of the requisite pleadings. In
other courses, particularly in Commercial Paper, Carriers, Insurance,
Transactional Instruments, Legal Bibliography, attention is paid to
the forms of instruments in common use.
Conveyancing-In the course on Conveyancing the chief material
consists of a series of selected abstracts of title representing a great
variety of documents and proceedings involving property rights.
Trial Practice-The courses on Procedure and Practice give a
systematic and detailed survey of the rules of law. The course on
Evidence includes an auxiliary drill in the use of the rules. The
Practice Court gives the third year student opportunity to become
practically familiar with these rules by the application of them in
litigation managed by himself.
Editorial Work-To edit and digest for the profession the opinion
and record of a decided case is of great value in cultivating the skill
required in preparing briefs and analyzing precedents. Each year
not more than seven second and third-year students of known ability
are appointed Associate Editors of the Illinois Law Review, to digest
manuscript decisions of the Appellate Court, and to prepare commen ts on recent judicial opinions.

COURSES OF INSTRUCTION

Legal Clinic-Members of the third-year class are assigned for
six hours a week for one semester to the main office and the district
offices of the Legal Aid Bureau of the United Charities of Chicago
and the Raymond Foundation, where they work under the direction
of a member of the Law School faculty, the eight attorneys of the
Bureau, and the attorney of the Raymond Foundation. In addition,
the class meets one hour a week at the Law School for instruction.
An examination is given at the end of the course and a passing grade
required of all students before graduation.
Labor Law and Industrial Injuries - Members of the courses
in Labor Law and Industrial Injuries, which are given yearly, are
required to carry on in connection with the Illinois Industrial Commission a certain amount of clinic work, as it may be arranged for
by the instructor in charge. The University is llnique in offering
experience of this character, both because of its general policy to
combine the theoretical with the practical, but also because of the
fact that the Industrial Commission of one of the nation's leading
ind4strial States is located in the same city with the University.
Permanent office space has been assigned to the work of the clinic
by the Industrial Commission, which is in complete accord with the
objectives of the University.
·
One semester-hour of credit is allowed students who do the clinic
work in connection either with Industrial Injuries or Labor Law,
and this hour may be offered in substitution for Codes and Revised
Statutes, or Office Briefs.
The course on Public Records System ( Illinois Law) takes the
class personally to the various record-offices.
·
The course on Criminal Clinic gives the students experience in
investigating facts and preparing for trial.

Julius Rosenthal (1828-1905), an eminent and beloved member
of the Chicago Bar, and librarian of the Chicago Law Institute for
nearly 40 years, and the most learned lawyer of his time in Chicago,

general purpose of cultivating research, study, and instruction in the
fields of the law of patents, trademarks, copyright, or other topics of
the law involving the development of trade, industry, and commerce;

instruction; the publication of meritorious essays, monographs, or
books; the aid of research or preparation for publication ; the award
of prizes to meritorious essays, monographs, or books, already written

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN

PRESENTATION OF FLAGS
BY JONAS H. MAYER, '18
I have been thinking, as I sat here
this evening listening to all the old
songs, how much they carried the burden of one thing, Loyalty.
It is not a surprising thing to find
Loyalty in the undergraduate colleges
of the country, and it is to be expected that Loyalty to School and Country should be there deYeloped. It is
however, somewhat unusual to find
that Loyalty, which has always existed at Northwestern University Law
School, in a school s&gt;JCh as this, a
post-graduate school. Northwestern
University Law School calls to its
doors men and women from undergraduate colleges all over the country, with love and loyalty to their
own school in their hearts when they
enter. It is gratifying then to note
how that Loyalty bec0mes fused in
the great melting pot of Northwestern University Law School, until it
reaches its culmination in Loyalty to
our own School, our State, and our
Country. It is Loyalty such as this
that has always sent men from Northwestern University Law School into
the ranks of our Army and Navy and
into the service of our Government.

our hopes, a new Law School, it is
well to remember that this School and
this Country are ours to love and to
hold just so long as the rest .of the
world realizes ·that we are ready, willing, and able to defend them.

In memory of the men who at the
call of Country abandoned occupation,
profession, and studies to answer the
call, there is to be placed in the new
building that will serve our Law
School, a War-Service Memorial. In
connection with this Memorial, we
have caused to be prepared two silk
flags, the flag of Our School, and
the flag of our Country, in lasting
memory of the men who have so nobly
shown their Loyalty to School and
State and Country.
In memory of the men who gave
their lives on the field of battle, because of the Loyalty which was instilled in their hearts for both School
and Country, and as an inspiration to
the future generations of students to
come, it is my high honor and privilege to present, through the Dean of
Northwestern University Law School,
the standards of our School and
Col\ntry, with the assurance that the
emblem of our School will yield in
our hearts to only one other, that of
our Country.

And when I say Loyalty, I do not
mean passive Loyalty, I mean active
Loyalty. For, unless Loyalty is active, there is no Loyalty. And may ·

after the manner of his time, went
to Philadelphia for study. Under the
tutelage of William T. Dwight, son
of the late President Dwight of Yale
College, and afterwards of Thomas
Bradford, Jr., was admitted to the
Pennsylvania Bar in 1833. Two
years later he moved to Galena in
Jo Daviess County, where he built
up a large and successful practice in
a community the fame of whose lor.al
Bar at that period still survives.
At that time all of Illinois constituted but one District in our Ferieral
judicial system. Nathaniel Pope had
served as District Judge from the creation of that District until 1850,
when President Taylor namecl Mr.
Drummond as his successor. Then for
thirty-four years, first in the District
of Illinois and afterwards in the
Northern District of Illinois w hen
the state was divided, and then after
1870 as Circuit Judge for the Seventh Judicial District, Jud ge Drummond sat on the Federal Court, increasingly gaining the respect, the
confidence and the affection of not
only the Bar but the people of the
three great states. For many years
towards the end of his service he was
held as our foremnst jurist. While
he was on the District Court Bench
he performed the duties of the Circuit Judge to an unusually great extent. When on the Circuit Bench he
came into. a period of railroad receiverships and reorganizations, and he
administered with almost universal
satisfaction the affairs of companies,
the aggregate indebtedness of which

5

exceeded three hundred million dollars and the stock issues of which were
nearly twice that amount. For .this
and his pioneer work, especially in
land title suits and disputes in admiralty, he became known through
the country, and his wise decisions
served as precedents. He was the first
to lay down the rule that in a railroad
receivership wages du.e workmen and
sums due for supplies. had preference
over bonded indebtedness. Some of
his judgments have been quoted in
English tribunals. His decisions appear in Federal Cases from 1850 on
and in the Federal Reports in Volumes 1 to 21, inclusive.
When this School was founded by
Thomas Hoyne in 1859, Judge
Drummond took part as Chairman of
the first Board of Counsellors, and
held that position till 1865. He is
therefore entitled to honor as the
foster-father of the School and as a
pioneer of legal education in the West.

In 1884, at the age of seventy-five,
he voluntarily retired and was succeeded by Judge Walter Q. Gresham.
His last public appearance was in
1888, when he presided at a Bar banquet to honor his close friend, Melville W. Fuller, then recently appointed Chief Justice of the United States
Supreme Court. He died at Wheaton
in 1890. He was a man of vigorous
intellect, well disciplined in early
early life, an accomplished scholar
and a profound Judge. He was
learned and tolerant, creative, impartial, and fearless. He loved justice.
The artist, George P. A. Healy,
was the most famous painter of the

generation which Judge Drummond
knew. Born in Boston four years
after Judge Drummond, he died in
Chicago four years after his friend.
Through the influence of William B.
Ogden he came from Paris to Chicago in 1855, and then, save for journeys back, resided here. He painted
"Webster's Reply to Hayne," now in
Faneuil Hall. He painted great portraits of Calhoun, Webster, Pierce,
Buchanan , Lincoln, General Cass,
Louis Philippe, and Marshal Soult.
He was one of our most beloved
townsmen.
On February 1) 1913, the surviving children of Judge Drummond presented to the United States District
Court for the Northern District of
Illinois, a portrait of Judge Drummond painted by Ralph Clarkson of
this city. Now through the generosity of Mr. James J. Drummond,
a son of the Judge, our School is to
have the first portrait for which the
great Judge sat. We assure the donor
of our deep appreciation . This School
will always be responsive to that ancient service of its foster-father. The
portrait, to young and growing minds,
will tell of the man who came from
Maine and by his toil and through
his vision did great work in the building up of our country. For centuries
may his example point the way.

HENRY SARGENT TOWLE
BY JOHN H. WIGMORE
The name of Henry Towle will
ever occupy an honored and affectionate place in the history of the School;
for duri ~g his chairmanship of the

Law School Committee of the Board
of Trustees of Northwestern U niversity, he was the benevolent shepherd
of its inter~sts, and may be looked
upon as the father of its welfare during a period of struggle and progress.
His chairmanship lasted for nearly
twenty years. During that time he
saw to it that the plans of the Faculty
of Law were adequately presented to
the, Board and were sympathetically
supported. I had occasion, better than
any other member of the Faculty, to
know his deep interest in the School's
welfare, for he was chairman at the
beginning of my incumbency and it
was through him that all measures
for the School's improvement were
presented by me to the Board. It was
from him that I received the telegram, on landing in New York in
1901, on my return from the Netherlands, inviting me to become dean of
the Faculty; and thereafter our meetings were frequent.
Mr. Towle's early career was cast
in the thrilling days of the Civil War.
Born in 1842, at Mishawaka, Indiana, and educated at Valparaiso
College, he was entering manhoo-d at
the outbreak of the war in '61. After
repeatedly volunteering for enlistment,
and repeatedly being rejected by the
army surgeons, he finally obtained a
post in the Sanitary Commission ( socalled), organized by the war-governor Morton of Indiana. This service was virtually that of an ambulance
corps; and young Towle was sent to
the front to care for the wounded,
and here he saw service in several
important battles. Being invalided
home with camp fe ver, he recovered
and returned to service, this time in

�NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN

the neighborhood of Washington. At
the close of the war he became private
secretary to Schuyler Colfax, a family friend , then Speaker of the House
of Representatives and afterwards
Vice-President of the United States.
His friendship with Colfax lasted
through life. During his sojourn in
Washington, he became a devoted admirer of Abraham Lincoln ; and on
the night of the martyred President's
assassination , he was one of those who
watched all night outside the house
where the President lay dying. His
letters to the family at this period
give a vivid picture of the youth's
sense of patriotic horror at the national dangers with which rumor then
filled the atmosphere of Washington.

In the next year he came West
again, graduated from the Law School
of the University of Michigan ( then
under the famous leadership of Judge
Cooley), and in 1867 settled in Chicago. At first in the office of Orrington and Dent, he later entered the
firm of Goodwin, Larned and Towle.
This firm became afterwards Offield
and Towle, and still later Offield,
Towle and Linthicum; Charles Linthicum was for twenty years lecturer
on patent law in the School; and the
firm occupied a leading position in
the practice of patent law in Chicago.
About 1916, the Law School Committee of the Board of Truste"es was
discontinued; and later Mr. Towle
retired from practice, spending part
of his time in San Diego, until his
decease in 1924.
His loyalty and personal interest
in the School were exemplified in an
especial degree by his offer of an an-

7

nual prize, up to the time of his
death, for excellence in debate. The
Towle Prize Debate was an event
which will recall vivid memories in
the minds of many graduates. It represented the first and only attempt in
a law school to encourage debate on
distinctly legal topjcs, suitable for
stimulating thought on strictly professional lines. It is gratifying to be
able to announce that his daughter,
Miss Helen Towle, has undertaken to
revive m his name the Towle Prize
Debate.
This portrait by Christian Abrahamsen will worthily preserve for future generations the name of one to
whose genial and affectionate interest
the School owes so much.

JOHN JAY
FREDERIC B. CROSSLEY, '99

The subject of this painting was
born in the City of New York on
the 12th day of December, 1745. His
youth is said to have offered nothing
that was remarkable, except that he
never seemed to be young, in the ordinary sense of the word; and the
balanced way of life, often the result
of experience, seems in him to have
been innate. "Johnny," said his
• father, "is of very grave disposition
and takes to learning exceedingly
well." He entered Kings College,
now Columbia University, at the age
of 14. For a breach of discipline committed in his presence, several students
were expelled. He refused to reveal
the names of his fello w-students and
shared their fate. Later, he was al1owed to return and finished his col-

�8

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN

lege course without further incident.
In his last year as an undergraduate,
he determined upon the study of law
and began his preparation by a study
of Grotius, delivering upon graduation in 1764, a much admired dissertation upon the blessings of peace.
Immediately upon graduation he
bound himself as an apprentice for
five years to Benjamin Kissam, an
eminent barrister of the day. In 1768
he was admitted to the bar and formed
a temporary partnership with Robert
R. Livingston, later Secretary of
State, Chancellor of New York, and
negotiator of the treaty which added
the territory of Louisiana to the
United States. In 1771 , at the age
of 28, he was a successful lawyer, and
this year notes the end of his private
career at the bar.
He became active first as a conservative, then as an ardent advocate
of the cause of the revolutionists.
Chosen a delegate to the first Continental Congress, which met in Philadelphia on September 5, 1774, he
drafted, at the request of the Congress, an appeal to the people of
Great Britain, said by Jefferson to be
"the product of the first pen in America." In 1776 he was elected a member of the New York Provincial Congress and from that day was one of
the revolutionary leaders. In 1777 he
drafted the Constitution of New
York, which remained in force, with
minor changes, until 1846. While this
constitution was necessarily i:lrafted
hastily, it was generally regarded as
the most excellent of all the American constitutions, and it has been
claimed that it was the model of the
National Constitution of 1787. Under

the new government of New York,
he was appointed Chief Justice, a position which it is said that he preferred
to the Governorship. In 1779 he resigned this position for a seat in Congress, and had hardly taken his seat
when he was elected President of
Congress. He resigned this position
shortly thereafter to accept the appointment as Minister to Spain, later,
in 1782, being transferred to Paris,
where he was active in th~ preparation of a draft of a treaty with England. His training as a lawyer, as
well as his judicial attitude of mind,
enabled him to serve his country well
in the negotiations which resulted in
the peace treaty of 1783. He returned
to New York in 1784, to find that
Congress had two months previously
appointed him Secretary for Foreign
Affairs, which position he accepted
and retained until his appointment to
the Federal bench in 1789. He was
offered his choice of office by President Washington and chose the judiciary. His tenure of office as Chief
Justice of the Federal Court was far
from remarkable, because of the conditions existing du,ing this formative
period of the government. Prdbably
the most famous and important case
decided during the period of his occupancy of the position of Chief J ustice was the case of Chisholm v.
Jordan , 2 Dallas, 419, in which the
Chief Justice held that a State of the
Union was suable in the Supreme
Court at the instance of a private
suitor of a sister State. In 1794 he
was appointed Special Envoy to Great
Britain, to negotiate a new treaty.
He landed in England June 8, 1794,
and in November of the same year the
treaty was signed. For this treaty he

�NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN

deserves hardly less honor than for
the treaty of 1783, for, while the
latter treaty may have been a greater
achievement, it did little more than
put an end to a war that was at the
time non-existent, whereas the treaty
of 1794 prevented the outbreak of a
war that threatened daily.
On his return from England, he
found that during his absence he had
been elected Governor of New York,
to which position he was re-elected in
1798. He resigned as Chief Justice
of the United States June 29, 1795.
Upon the completion of six years'
service as Governor of New York,
he had completed twenty-three years
of public service, and in 1801 he retired to his home in Bedford, where
he lived the life of a peaceful country
gentleman, until removed by death
on May 14, 1829.

HERBERT SPENCER
HADLEY, '94
BY FREDERIC P. VosE, '94
The Class of 1894, Northwestern
University Law School is proud to
present to the school the portrait of
its distinguished mate, the honorable
Herbert Spencer Hadley.
Mr. Hadley was born at Olathe,
Kansas, February 20, 1872. His

9

father, Major John Milton Hadley,
was a descendant of the Quaker Hadleys of North Carolina, and his
mother, Harriett Beach Hadley, descended from John Beach, the Pilgrim
who landed on these shores in 1640.
The son naturally combines the
charming companionship and oratorical ability of the South with the stern
devotion to duty which characterized
his Puritan forebear.
After graduating from the U niversity of Kansas with a degree of Bachelor of Arts in 1892, he entered the
Northwestern University Law School
in the fall of that year, graduating
with first honors and the degree of
Bachelor of Laws in 1894. While a
student in the Law School he joined
with others in founding the Northwestern Law Review, the predecessor
of the present well and favorably
known Illinois Law Review. He was
on the prize-winning debating teams
representing Northwestern U niversity, and gave evidence of the capacity
and power which have crowned his
subsequent career.
At the conclusion of his law course
Mr. Hadley entered the general practice in Kansas City, Missouri, and
continued therein from '94 to '98,
when he was appointed First Assistant Corporation Counsel and placed
in charge of trial work for Kansas
City. So well did he discharge his
duties from 1898 to 1901 that he was
elected and served as Prosecuting Attorney of Jackson County from 1901
to 1903.
Mr. Hadley gained a state-wide
reputation as a successful prosecutor
of criminal offenders. As a reward

�10

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN

he ,was elected to the important position of Attorney General for Missouri, which position he held from
1905 to 1909. His resourceful and
formidable opposition to the Standard
Oil Company, the Harvester, Insurance and Lumber Trusts, and the
race track gamblers of St. Louis,
gained for him a nation wide reputation as champion in the strict enforcement of State and Federal laws.
The people of Missouri so thoroughly believed in Mr. Hadley that
they elected him Governor in 1909,
for a four year term. As Chief Executive of the State he acquitted himself with high honor.
Northwestern University in 1914,
the University of Missouri, and Missouri Valley College, recognizing his
capacity and character, conferred upon
Mr. Hadley the honorary degree of
Doctor of Laws.
At the expiration of his term as
Governor he became special counsel
for the railways west of Chicago in
the matter relating to the Federal
valuation of railroad property; and in
this assignment he labored successfully from 1913 to 1916.
· In the counsels of the Republican
Party he was regarded as an outstanding leader, and in the Republican National Conventions, to which he went
as a delegate at large in 1908, 1912,
and 1916, he fell but little short of
nomination for the presidency.
From 1917 to 1923 he was a Professor of Law in the University of
Colorado, and acted as counsel for
the State Railway Commission of
Colorado from 1919 to 1921. ·

In 1903 Mr. Hadley was eiected
Chancellor of Washington University, St. Louis, which high position
he still occupies to the satisfaction of
the trustees, faculty, alumni and under-graduate students.
Mr. Hadley has through the years
made his influence felt as a member
of the Council of the American Law
Institute, particularly in connection
with his duties as Chairman of the
Committee on Investigation of Defects in the Administration of Criminal Justice.
He is the author of several treatises
and books: "The Standard Oil
Trust"; "What the Railroads Owe
the People"; "Rome and the World
Today"; "Codifications of Justinian
and Napoleon."
His is the rare combination of a
man of letters and of action ; a wise
counselor and stirring orator; humanitarian and statesman ; a winsome personality bearing modestly the honors
of a distinguished career. It is altogether fitting that his name be thus
memorialized by presentation to his
Law School of this striking portrait.

FRANK ORRE N LOWDEN, '87
BY GORDAN A. RAMSEY, '97
Sometime ago John Smulski, banker and chairman of the Polish Relief
Fund, was asked about Frank Lowden, and replied,

"It would take me weeks to tell a
fraction of the good I know about
him, but I can summarize by saying
we were poor boys together. Lowden

�NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN

studied hard and became a great lawyer. Shortly after he was married he
took up practical farming. He always devoted a large percentage of
his time to the public welfare, and
was the great war governor of Illinois. He is a statesman who can think
not merely in local and national, but
in international terms, and above all,
he is a good friend."
To the older alumni there is nothing I can tell, because they know him
and are perfectly familiar with all
the good and great things which he
has accomplished. To the younger
alumni, and especially to this year's
graduating class, I may be able to
point out a few things that may serve
as an encouragment and an inspiration to them, because he is not a remote personality, but one of them, an
alumnus of our law school, a man
who has not passed into history, but
who each day is doing his part in
making America a better place to
live in. ·
Smul; ki said, "We were poor boys
together" ; meaning when he first
knew Frank Lowden; but long previous to that Lowden was a poor boy,
and by that I mean "poor" in the
material things of life; but he was
rich in having good parents and having been raised in the country where
he had plenty of outdoor work, built
up a strong body to house a wonderful
brain, which with industry and application has enabled him to succeed
in his various undertakings.
Frank Lowden was born at Sunrise, Minnesota. His father was the
village blacksmith. When Frank

11

Lowden was a small boy his family
moved to Iowa, and you can picture
young Lowden on this trip trudging
along behind the covered wagon at
times in order to save the team. He
went to the public schools and to the
University of Iowa, paying for his
college course by teaching, and graduating with highest honors, the valedictorian of his class. He had chosen
the law as his life's profession and
came to Chicago, having taken up
meanwhile the comparatively new occupation of stenography, and secured
a position as clerk and stenographer
with the law firm of Dexter, Herrick and Allen. He entered the Union
College of Law, now Northwestern
Univer-sity Law School, and in due
course again graduated with honors,
and in a few years became one of the
leaders of the Chicago bar.
Smulski, said, "Lowden studied
hard"; and I want to impress on these
young men that Lowden's success is
due largely to his studying and studying hard. He never takes anything
for granted and is still studying. In
fact, he is now on his way to Denmark to study agricultural and marketing conditions of that country;
otherwise, he would be with us tonight. Frank Lowden has always had
an interest in farming, as he knows
well that the permanent prosperity of
our country is closely linked with the
prosperity of the farmer. He knows
that we must have agricultural conditions in the United States such that
the farmer who produces the necessities of life will have not merely a
living wage, but one which will yield
him a profit, which will enable him to
keep his self respect, lay up some-

�12

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN

thing for his old age and educate his
family.
Frank 0. Lowden is not only a
great lawyer, but he is a business man
of broad experience, and this combination served the State of Illinois
well when he was governor. There
is not time here to enumerate his
striking achievements during these
four trying years, coincident with the
war, wh ich brought heavy added responsibilities and complications to the
chief executive of this great state,
with a composite population blended
of many diverse elements, racial sympathy and prejudice. So I will only
point out a few which impressed me,
and which I think illustrate his ability, statesmanship, patriotism and
broad vision.

Again, Lowden, the patriot, was
the first governor to offer the resources of the State of Illinois to the
President of the United States when
war was declared ; and Lowden, the
statesman, organized the first State
Council of Defense. This council was
of vital importance to the State and
N atiop, and membership on that body
was prized and eagerly sought. Its
personnel had to be of unquestioned
Americanism·, regardless of party,
race or creed. In looking over the list
of the members of this Council, we
can see now even more clearly than
at the time of its creation, how Governor Lowden selected it with the utmost care and discrimination, not
choosing personal friends nor political
associates, but selecting men and women solely for their fitness, so that
as far as possible all creeds and classes
should be represented and work together to assist in winning the war.

After he was elected Governor and
before he was inaugurated, Lowden,
the lawyer, drafted the Civil Administrative Code, and discussed it with

As a statesman of ability and experience, his activities have been in
many fields. He served with distinction in Congress from the thirteenth
district of Illinois. He served in the
State Militia, having been Lieutenant
Colonel of the First Illinois. He has
served on many National Boards looking to the public welfare. He is now
chairman of 'the Illinois Division of
the National Crime Commission. His
work as chairman of the Farmers'
Cooperative Marketing Committee
has been of untold value to this Nation. He has served and is serving his
State and Country well and fearlessly,
without personal gain.
He was a good friend of Northwestern University and its law school
before it grew to occupy its present
high position in the educational world.
He was a good friend of John H.
Wigmore, our beloved dean, before
Wigmore became the leader of legal
education in America. He knows the
law school, not merely through being
one of its alumni, but from his experience as instructor in our class
rooms and as president of this Alumni
Association.
We owe our thanks to the Law
Alumni Trustees who voted to place
this portrait on these walls, and to
Mrs. Lowden who made it possible
for us to possess this great masterpiece, which I now have the honor to
present to you. The artist is Ralph
Clarkson, whose studio is on the Rock

near Oregon, Illinois.

ALBERT MARTIN KALES
BY CARL R. LATHAM, '95
One ·of my early recollections as a
child is of having my mother quote
to me an old saying to this effect:
"Tell me the company you keep
and the books you read and I will tell
you who you are."
All of us realize that our lives bear
indelible marks that have come as the
result of our contact and association
with certain men .and women of
strong forceful pe~sonality. Not infrequently one's whole outlook on
some subject is completely changed by
the reading of some powerful book or
masterful dissertation.
It is accordingly fitting that the
memory of those, who through their
force of character and superior attainments have made an impression ·on
the period in which they live, should
be preserved for succeeding generations, so that the example and achievements of such men may be both an
inspiration and a blessing to those
who are yet to come.
Albert Martin Kales was such a:
man. He was a thorough student, an
author of note, and an unusually able
advocate. He had a fine mind, was
independent in thought, and most
frank and straightforward in his manner and methods. His opinion was
little affected by the fact that in maintammg his position he might be decidedly in the minority, or that his

�14

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN

views might not meet with popular
favor. His conclusions were reached
after careful consideration, and he
had great confidence in his judgment
when he had definitely reached a decision. He expected others to be direct with him and he in turn always
went straight to the point.

earlier years of their professional life.
With Albert Kales, however, it was
otherwise; he apparently picked out
the branches of the law which appealed to him, then studied in such
fields intensively, and had confidence
that his special knowledge so acquired
would be sought in actual practice.

He had unusual ability for . clear
and concise statement. The real facts
and the actual truth of a matter were
what interested him. He was intellectually too honest to feel that their
·statement ever required any special
tact or grace of expression. The wiles
of diplomacy and the art of avoiding
the meeting of an issue squarely had
no appeal for him. While he was always considerate of others, yet if the
truth hurt he felt he was in no way
at fault for any possible wound its
mere statement might have caused.
Shortly after his death Professor
Wigmore, in writing of Professor
Kales, said :

In the comparatively early years of
his professional life he decided that he
wanted experience in trying jury
cases. He soon found an opportunity
for trial work, and for a time he defended personal injury cases. This
line of work, however, did not long
satisfy him, and he shortly turned his
talents in other directions. His work
in the field in which he was best
know, that relating to Estates and
Future Interests, was the result of
deliberate choice and a desire to study
and to make investigation in this
branch of the law rather than to any
mere accident of practice.

"His character exhibited one of
those rarest instances of pure reason,
,operating constantly, forcefully, and
impartially upon every subject placed
before it, and uninfluenced by any bias
-of emotion or temperament except the
natural dictates of honor and high
moral principle."
In an unusual degree Mr. Kales
•directed the course of his own professional career rather than allowed it
to be shaped by circumstances. With
most members of the profession any
specialization in their practice is usually accidental, and is largely due to
having had some particular class of
legal business come to them in the

After Mr. Kales graduated from
the Harvard Law ·School in 1899 he
began the practice of his profession in
Chicago. From 1902 to 1917 he was
a member of the faculty of the Northwestern University Law School, lecturing on Property. His first book,
a small volume on Homestead Exemption Laws in Illinois, was published in 1902. Later he prepared a
number of case books for law students, and also wrote a treatise on
Restraint of Trade. His best known
book is that on Estates and Future
Interests. His most notable work was
in this field; as an authority on the
law of Real Property no one other
than his former teacher, Professor
Gray of Harvard Law School , could

�NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN

be said to have stood higher, and he
only by seniority.
During the period of his connection with the Law School he was also
Associate Editor of the Illinois Law
Review, and contributed a number of
articles which gave evidence of the
finish and force of his style as well
as of his legal talent.
He was an ardent advocate of reform in the method of selecting our
judges, and also in the organization
and administration of our courts.
About 1912 he drafted for the American Judicature Society its proposed
Model Acts for the Unified Organization of Courts.
He died on July 26, 1922, at the
early age of 4 7. In his death the legal
profession and the community at large
suffered a most serious loss.
During fifteen of the best years of
his life Mr. Kales was associated with
the Northwestern University Law
School, and his name and influence
will never be forgotten by the alumni
who studied under him. It is accordingly most fitting that his memory should be honored; and I am indeed pleased, on behalf of members
of his famil y, to present his portrait
to the Law School.

Among the portraits that have been
presented tonight, are those of men
who have distinguished themselves by

15

outstanding achievements in the realm
of statesmanship and broad public
service. It is my privilege and pleasure to present, on behalf of the Law
School Alumni Trustees, the portrait
of one highly renowned as a teacher,
as a writer of legal texts and a contributor to legal periodicals. It is
especially gratifying to me to have this
opportunity to pay tribute to Professor George P . Costigan, Jr. as the
teacher and friend of all who knew
him in his association with the Law
School.
As we enjoy this occasion together,
it is perfectly natural that we should
look forward with pleasant anticipation to the early comp~etion of our
new Law School building. The architect's drawings, and the now partially
completed structure, reveal an exterior of dignity and singular beauty.
It is well that this should be, for I
am convinced that the physical characteristics of the building will have
an important effect upon the ideals
and aspirations as well as upon the
whole mental attitude of prospective
students.
My own initial enthusiasm for the
study of law was considerably dampened when I first saw the building in
which Northwestern Law School has
been located for many years. That
impression was of walls begrimed with
smoke and dir t, and of the confused
noise of traffic in adjoining streets
where elevated trains passed with intermittent roar and clanging street cars
and vehicles of trade and commerce
moved with an accompanying din.
But this feeling soon passed, for
once within the Law School I real-

ized that there was something which
distinguished it and set it apart from
the commonplace character of its surroundings. As I entered I saw the
portraits of Charles Evans Hughes
and of the late Chief Justice White;
nearby, a bronze placque of Roosevelt, and a bronze bust of Lincoln.
Along the halls, and from above the
book stacks in the library, many other
faces looked down in friendly fashion,
and I felt somehow linked up with
them in an undertaking of common
interest.
Year by year additional pictures
and valuable manuscripts are being
added to this Northwestern collection
through the untiring effort of Dean
Wigmore and the foresight of the
trustees of the Alumni Association.
Already we have the portraits of several who have served on the faculty
of our law school with as much ability as faithfulness. Tonight we add
the portrait of another-George P.
Costigan, Jr., who for many years
contributed materially to the high reputation which Northwestern Law
School enjoys.
It might truly be said of him, as it
once was said of Agassiz,
"His magic was not far to seek,
He was so human."
He not only instructed, but inspired
and encouraged his students as well.
It seemed to me that he succeeded
far beyond the average teacher in
arousing the interest and in stimulating the thought of all who sat in his
classes.
Professor ~ostigan was well
equipped for his place in the Law

School. He had received the degrees
of Bachelor of Arts, Master of Arts,
and Bachelor of Laws from Harvard
University. He had been, for a time,
actively engaged in the practice of
law at Salt Lake City, Utah, and in
New York City, and when he came
to Northwestern Law School in 1909
he had already gained recognition as
a teacher of law. In 1913 the University of Nebraska conferred upon
him the honorary degree of Doctor
of Laws. He was for a number of
years, while a professor in our Law
School, the Editor-in-Chief of the
Illinois Law Review, and during this
time steadily extended his fame as an
author of legal texts and as a compiler of case books which are now
widely used. Among them was a work
on "The Performance of Contracts,"
"Mining Law," case books on "Wills
and the Law of Descent," and "Contracts." Among the courses which he
taught were Contracts, Trusts, Wills
and Quasi-Contracts.
Professor Costigan's connection
with the Law School continued until
1922. In the changing order of things
Professor Costigan went from Northwestern to the University of California. We were sorry to lose him,
but neither time nor distance will
work any diminution of the respect
and regard we haye for him.
His portrait, so ably executed by
Mrs. Rieber of Berkeley, California,
will be, in coming years, a constant
reminder to Northwestern men of
Professor Costigan's loyal and substantial contribution to Northwestern's progress.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN
BY ANDREW ALEXANDER BRUCE

In making this presentation I am
but the mouth-piece. The voice is
my voice, but the gift is the gift of
the Alumni of the Law School of
Northwestern University. Great
though the portrait is and great the
gift, greater still is the man whom the
gift portrays and the spirit that inspired the giving.
The name of Abraham Lincoln is
familiar everywhere. Especially is it
familiar in Illinois and in this the
oldest of Illinois' law schools. For
many years our classes have been held
on the site of the old Tremont House,
from the balcony of which the great
emancipator delivered the first of the
so-called Lincoln-Douglas debates.
On our walls are inscribed Lincoln's
code of legal ethics- "Resolve to be
honest at all events; if in your judgment you cannot be an honest lawyer,
resolve to be honest without being a
lawyer." Always our ideal has been
his ideal of liberty and progress, but
liberty and progress under an established law. Always with him we
said:
"Let every American, every lover
of liberty, every well-wisher to his
posterity, swear by the blood of the
Revolution never to violate in the
least particular the laws of his country, and never to tolerate their violaLet reverence for the
tion
laws be breathed by every American
mother to the lisping babe that prattles on her lap; let it be written in
primers
preached from , the
pulpits
proclaimed in legis-

17

lative halls . . . enforced in courts
of justice
in short, let it become the political religion of the nation."
·
Many of our early graduates knew
Mr. Lincoln personally, and perhaps
all of them were inspired by his leadership. Among those early graduates
was Nelson Thomasson of the class of
1860, who, in a letter which you will
find printed in the History of Northwestern University, tells us that on
the occasion of the famous Illinois
Central Tax Case, Dean Henry
Booth adjourned his classes "so that
they might be able to attend the trial
and to learn more than he could teach
them." "We accepted the offer," Mr.
Thomason says in his letter, "Henry
C. Whitney was the oldest man now
living who attended lectures that
year. He had been a circuit rider with
Abraham Lincoln. He was a warm
personal friend of Lincoln, always
had a seat by Mr. Lincoln and took
me with him; and so for many days
and weeks we saw a great deal of Mr.
Lincoln. Of course we students knew ·
what we were there for and listened
with a great deal of interest, not to
Mr. Lincoln alone, but to all of the
lawyers. Edward F. Joy .was a wonderful barrister and Dave Stewart
was another. As to Mr. Lincoln we
could always find him in the courtroom a short while before the court
opened, and he always had a new
One thing I
story to tell
remember distinctly about Mr. Lincoln was the great cheerfulness which
seemed to possess him at that time,
though I thought a great deal of it
was forced. In his speech before the
jury he did what we have seen writ-

�18

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN

ten about him often, that is, he dwelt
upon certain points and brought them
home to the jury repeatedly, and we
youngsters thought that he repeated
these points too often; but nevertheless he won his case thereby."
Always we have leaned upon Abraham Lincoln; always we have felt
that he was of us and that he would
have understood us. If in his student
days there had been any law schools
west of the Alleghany Mountains, we
know that he would have wished to
have attended them, for there can be
no doubt that he appreciated the value
of a thorough legal training and constantly regretted the disadvantages
that had been his. Of course you remember the incident of the famous
McCormick Harvester case. The future president had been snubbed by
his college trained associate, Stanton,
and had been given a very minor part.
But when asked by his life-long friend
Mr. Ralph Emerson of Rockford , if
he did not think that he had been unfairly treated, with the magnaminity
of real greatness and the willingness
to learn even from defeat that were
among his greatest virtues, he replied :
"Perhaps so, Emerson, but did you
hear Stanton's closing argument? It
was the finest legal effort I have ever
listened to. Emerson, I have learned
something. Those college fellows are
coming West. They will soon get
into Illinois. Emerson, I am going
home to study law."
These memories have been ours and
now the generosity of the alumni has
given us this portrait. We needed it
and we will cherish it. We have
needed it because we are American

lawyers. We have needed it because
the ideal of this school has been to
be a school of American citizenship as.
well as of professional skill, and Abraham Lincoln was among the foremost
of great Ameri.can lawyers who have
scorned private gain and have used
their legal knowledge and training to
help mold our democracy and to make
secure the foundations of our civilization.

In a large sense Abraham Lincoln
was the Robert Burns of America.
Burns, in his "a man's a man for a'
that," gave us a Marseillaise of democracy, and his universal gospel created world comradeship; but his life
gave us nothing to model after. Lincoln gave that same sense of comradeship to this great cosmopolitan nation;
and on account of his legal experience
and training, and on account of his.
moral character, he was able to do,
still more-to make "the man" and
not "the birkie" or "the cuif" the
great American ideal, and to make
that ideal potent to save our nation
and to preserve our democracy.
Nineteen centuries ago, in an age
of the Roman superman, when hope
and opportunity were only for the
Roman few and beneath that profligate and luxuriating aristocracy was:
a horrible substratum of human mis-•
ery and of human slavery, a carpenter of Nazareth taught the gospel of
the divine inheritance of all men,
called the little children of all classes.
to him and, looking over the great
brotherhood of nations, prayed the
universal prayer, the prayer of the
Jew and of the Gentile, of the Mohammedan in his minaret, of the In-

�NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN

dian on the mountain top and of the
Christian in his temple-the prayer
of Our Father. In the middle of the
eighteenth century a Scottish plowman caught the strain and, in the
simple language of the peasant, wrote
that "a man's a man for a' that." At
the beginning of the French Revolution a great Frenchman saw the same
vision, and in a meeting of the Three
Estates made the magnificent statement that "there was something diviner than the divine right of kings,
and that was the divine right of man
himself." And, in the middle of the
nineteenth century, at a time when
we had lost the democracy of the
American Revolution and had forgotten the preamble to the American
Constitution, at a time when the love
of gain was everywhere and was
everything, in an age of the superman and of the patrician, in an age
when the blot of slavery had not only
demoralized the black man but had
created a lower dass of so-called
white trash which the patrician despised, Abraham Lincoln gave utterance to the same Marseillaise of democracy, the Marseillaise of Christ,
the Marseillaise of Burns, the Marseillaise of Lafayette. Again, in the
simple language of the simple folk,
he said that "God must have loved
the common people; he made so many
of them."
Yet Abraham Lincoln was not a
demagogue; neither was he a pacifist;
nor a socialist; nor an anarchist. He
believed in the rights of man; but he
realized that those rights could only
be obtained and could only be prepreserved under an orderly and a constitutional government. He loved the

19

common people; but he never surrendered 1:0 the mob. He was what
might be termed a conservative progressive, whose eyes looked ever for•
ward and upward but who realize-cl
that freedom had slowly broai:lened
down from precedent to precedent,
that law and order was the rule of
the universe and that even t'he stars
of the firmament marched .in time.
He believed in progress; but he believed in an orderly progress under
the law.
We need this portrait of Lincoln
in our law school. We need his portraits and his statues everywhere. We
need them as a reminder of the realities and of the truth. We need them
as an antidote to the jazz materialism
of today. We need them because
Abraham Lincoln personified and revealed the real America and the real
American.
We are living in an age of exaggerated acceleration, in an age of vulgar and sordid social display, in an
age of flaunting extravagance and in
the midst of a debasing philosophy of
pleasure and of self-gratification. We
need a new emphasis on the real and
on the spiritual, and Abraham Lincoln gives us that emphasis. He expresses the soul and not the rouge or
the face powder of our democracy.
The index of a nation is the men
that it really honors and really loves,
the men whose live, and memories
really stir its emotions, excite its reverence and make its blood run warm
within it. And, in spite of our wine
baths and of our Bradley Martin
balls, in spite of our seeming idolatry
of wealth and of power, no matter

�20

NORTHWESTERN UNIVERSITY BULLETIN

how obtained, in spite of our cowardly acquiescence in the crime and
in the corruption that is among us,
I thank God that the ideal of America is still the ideal of Abraham Lincoln- the ideal of self-respect and of
self-sacrifice. We may envy and out
of idle curiosity rush out to see men
and women whose only claim to recognition is the flaunting of newly acquired wealth for social and political
and business purposes ; and in order
that we ourselves may gain we may
tolerate and even take part in the
corruption that is around us- we may
patronize our own boot-leggers. But
the men and women whom we really
love and of whom we want to tell
our children are the men and women
who have sacrificed pleasure and selfgratification for duty, who for our
sakes have gone through the waters
of tribulation, who, for our sakes,
have known their Gethsemanes, who
have sacrificed the whole world bu.t
have saved their own souls and by
their example have taught us how to
save our souls.
It is well indeed that in this great
metropolitan law school we should
have the portrait of a cotter's child
crowned with the royalty of the gift
divine. It is well that in this busy
mart of trade we should have the
portrait of this simple but kingly man.
A figure awkward and ungainly, the
hands and feet large and misshapen,
the face rough and lined with care,
the clothes almost slovenly worn, but
a figure and a face, because of idealism and because of suffering, of self-

sacrifice and of self-respecting character, more majestic than any other
the city affords, than all of the statues
of Westminster Abbey, .time honored
though they may be. The picture of
one who reached the highest rounds
in the ladder of influence and of
power, yet who was a man of sorrows
and acquainted with grief. The picture of a great political leader who
knew the loneliness of true character and of true leadership. The picture of a great statesman who was
constantly vilified and abused and
as constantly misunderstood; who,
through most of his career incurred
the hostility both of the ultra-conservative and of the radical, of the
stand patter and of the progressive;
but who had the lawyer's courage to
steer our great ship of state in a sane
and legal course, who held our nation
together, who was true to himself and
who gained immortality.
We are to have the portrait of a
lawyer who walked with kings, yet
kept the common touch ; of a lawyer
who was too great to be a snob and
too big to be spoiled by power; of a
lawyer who was not too proud to
fight but who knew no bitterness; of
a lawyer who saw the good that was
in all men, even in his enemies. This
man Lincoln was the real type of
the real American, and the hope of
America lies in the fact that it is
this kind of man that in our heart of
hearts we most reverence and admire.
This gift is worthy of our alumni.
It is an index of their character and
of their faith.

�FOUNDING, PURPOSE AND LOCATION OF THE LAW SCHOOL

7

Founding, Purpose and Location of the Law School ·

T

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

The course of study is arranged to give a knowledge of the law
that will be indispensable to students wherever they may practice.
Graduates of the School are now located in nearly every state and
territory, as well as in foreign countries. Special courses are offered
for acquiring a knowledge of the law of Illinois.
The Case-study system, or the study of the principles of law as
illustrated in judicial opinions, is followed in most courses of instruction; but each instructor follows his own judgment, in conducting the
classes by lectures, discussions, recitations, written exercises, or in any
way he deems best adapted to the subject. The extensive library of
the School, the Elbert H. Gary Library of Law, lends itself peculiarly
to modern and scientific methods of instruction,
The School is now located in Northwestern University Building at
the corner of Lake and Dearborn Streets, Chicago, which was
acquired and rebuilt in 1901-1902.

In 1926, construction commenced of the new home of the Law
School, Levy Mayer Hall, the gift of Mrs. Levy Mayer, in memory
of her husband, eminent at the Chicago Bar, and of the Elbert H.
Gary Law Library Building, the gift of Elbert H. Gary, LL.B., 1867,
LL.D., 1922. These buildings are in the new Alexander McKinlock,
Junior, Memorial Campus, for the professional schools, at Lake
Shore brive and Chicago Avenue. Occupation is expected in
October, 1926.

UNIVERSITY

LAW

SCHOOL

A student presenting three years of college credit from

another approved college of arts or science may, upon the satisfactory

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

Curriculum
r.

.,

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

EXERCISES IN FORENSIC WRITING, SPEAKING
AND PRACTICE

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

�27

FOUNDATIONS

litigation managed by himself. The sessions of the Court are held
weekly, on Thursday evenings, for two hours. A faithful attention
to this course ought to give the graduate experience in the use of
legal knowledge that will materially assist him in starting in his profession. The systematic pursuit of such a course under an experienced
instructor affords the student results more thorough, accurate, and
extensive than can be obtained in the desultory service of a law office
during a long period. A copy of the printed Rules of the Practice
Court will be mailed upon request.
·
Editorial Work-To edit and digest for the profession the opinion
and record of a decided case is of great value in cultivating the skill
required in preparing briefs and analyzing precedents. Each year
not more thari seven second and third-year students of known ability
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 six 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.
The course on Public Records System ( Illinois Law) takes the
class personally to the various record-offices.
The course on Criminal Clinic gives the students experience in
investigating facts and preparing for trial.

Foundations
The income of two foundations, for research and publication, has
been placed at the dispos~tion of the Faculty of Law:
The Juuus RosENTHAL Foundation is applicable generally for
the cultivation of legal literature, and specifically by means of the publication of meritorious essays, monographs, and books of a scientific
or practical nature concerning the law, which otherwise might not
readily find a publisher; by the aid or encouragement of research in
the field of legal literature and of the preparation for publication. in
whole or in part of the results of such research; by the delivery and
publication of lectures on subjects concerning the law; etc.

Julius Rosenthal ( l 828-190 5), an eminent and beloved member
of the Chicago Bar, and librarian of the Chicago Law Institute for
nearly 40 years, and the most learned lawyer of his time in Chicago,
did more than any other one man to establish the best standards of
legal scholarship in this regiqn, and by numerous gifts of books indicated his interest in the welfare of this School.
The CHARLES C. LINTHICUM Foundation is applicable to the
_general purpose of cultivating research, study, and instruction in the
fields of the law of patents, trademarks, copyright, or other topics of
the law involving the development of trade, industry, and· commerce;
and specifically by means of the delivery of lectures or other form of
instruction; the publication of meritorious essays, monographs, or
books; the aid of research or preparation for publication ; the award
of prizes to meritorious essays, monographs, or books, already written
or published ; etc.
Charles C. Linthicum (1857-1916), a graduate of this School in
1882, president of the Patent Law Association of Chicago in 1899,
and counsel in patent law for the United States Steel Corporation,
