If in the opinion of the Faculty such candidates have shown themselves to be possessed of more than ordinary merit, they will have inscribed upon their diplomas beneath their degree the words “with distinction."

STUDENT ACTIVITIES Student Activities in the University are carried on under the direction of a Board of Managers, acting under resolutions adopted by the Board of Trustees. Student Activities, including athletics, debating, and the various student publications, are supported by a voluntary tax to which all students in the University are invited to subscribe. This tax not only admits the subscriber to athletic contests and entitles him to copies of the publications, but also provides for free medical attention and hospital service under certain conditions: This tax is payable like other University fees, at the office of the Treasurer of the University.

Should such a student take more than one of the courses mentioned, in any one school year, he will be charged a single fee of $6 for microscope rental. Students who elect to take the regular four year course in five years will be required to pay the full tuition for the first four years and will receive the fifth year without additional charge.

Registration in the Pharmacy School is for a period not to exceed one year at a time and acceptance by the School of a student's registration fee does not in any way obligate the School to accept that student for any subsequent year. Registration, other fees and deposits are due in full in advance. Tuition may be paid in eight monthly installments in advance. Students who are unable to pay their fees monthly in advance will be required to file an acceptable personal or corporate bond of $200 as security for future payment.

LAW SCHOOL FACULTY WILLIAM MILLER COLLIER, A.M., LL.D. JOHN PAUL EARNEST, A.M., LL.M.. .President of the University .Dean and Professor of Law WENDELL PHILLIPS STAFFORD, A.M., LL.D., Litt.D. JOHN WILMER LATIMER, LL.B... WILLIAM CABEll Van Vleck, A.B., LL.B.. Secretary and Professor of Law History. The Law School, established in 1865, is the oldest in the city of Washington. Its course of instruction for the degree of Bachelor of Laws, originally requiring two years, was increased in 1898 to three years. A year of graduate work was added in 1877 leading to the degree of Master of Laws. The curriculum has since been increased by a course of study leading to the degree of Master of Patent Law. *On leave of absence 1919-20. An officer in the American Expeditionary Forces in France. Member of Association of American Law Schools.-The Law School was one of the group of law schools which in 1900 organized the Association of American Law Schools and it has remained a member of the Association since that time. This Association includes forty-eight of the most progressive law schools of the country and is committed to the policy of advancement in legal education. As this school maintains the standards of the Association, work certified by it is given a maximum of credit by other law schools of the country. This enables students who are unable to complete their studies in Washington to continue them at other in stitutions with a minimum loss of time and work. Purpose of Course.—The School aims to give a thorough legal training to students whose education and maturity fit them to pursue serious professional study. Nearly sixty per cent of its students have had college training and their average age is over twenty-five years. A preliminary course in liberal arts is encouraged and the University permits the first year of law work to be counted as the fourth year of college work for the degree of Bachelor of Arts, thus enabling students to obtain both the academic and professional degrees in six years. Method of Instruction.-The method of instruction followed is designed to instill correct modes of legal study, to train the mind in legal reasoning, and to give a thorough grasp of fundamental legal principles. The student studies leading cases—the earlier cases which establish a principle, the later cases which show its qualifications. This study is supplemented by classroom discussion and instruction. Thus while the student is being trained to analyze and to discriminate, he at the same time masters the principles of law, sees the reasons on which they are based, and observes the influence on their development of successive political, economic, and social theories. The method is most practical. The student has always before him actual problems and their solution by the ablest judges of England and America. He begins under his teacher's guidance the work he must do when he enters practice. In no other way can the future lawyer acquire such power to solve the new problems arising from the rapidly changing social and economic conditions of life. "The only way to clarify and simplify our law as a whole is to reach the lawyer in the making and mold his habits of thought by adequate instruction and training so that when he comes to the Bar he will have learned to think not merely in terms of law but in terms of jurisprudence. The living principle of the case system of instruction in our law schools is that the student is required by a truly scientific method of induction to extract the principle from the decision and to continually state and restate for himself a system of law evolved from its history. He is thus preparing not merely to accept formally dogmatic statements of principles but to receive and assimilate and make his own the systematic thought and learning of the world in the science of jurisprudence. With a Bar subjected generally to that process of instruction, the more general systematic study of jurisprudence would follow naturally and inevitably, and the influence of that study would be universal; and from that condition would evolve naturally the systematic restatement of our law, by men equal to that great work."* This inductive case system is the antithesis of the lecture and illustrative case method which is often mistaken for it. The case method is now used in over eighty per cent of the schools in the Association of American Law Schools. The substantive law is taught almost wholly by professional teachers employing the case method and giving all their time to the school; the practice courses are conducted by lawyers and judges in active practice. Scope of Course.—The course of study is not local in its scope but constitutes a thorough preparation for the practice of law in any English speaking jurisdiction. It satisfies the professional study required for admission to the Bar examinations of the District of Columbia and all other jurisdictions of the United States. The school has conferred over 2,500 degrees, and its graduates are now practicing in every state of the Union. ADVANTAGES OF WASHINGTON FOR THE STUDY OF LAW The city of Washington has unusual attractions for students and particularly for students of law. It lies between the North and the South. It is a residential city of rare beauty, and its population is drawn from all over the United States. The library facilities of the city, both general and legal, are unexcelled. It is unique in the extent of its legal machinery. It is the seat of Congress, the Supreme Court of the United States, the Department of Justice, the United States Court of Claims, the United States Court of Customs Appeals, and of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals, Supreme Court, and Municipal Courts, which exercise the dual function of state and federal courts. By attending the sessions of these various bodies students can familiarize themselves with all branches of legal procedure and keep in touch with current legal thought while pursuing their studies. LOCATION The Law School occupies the entire fifth and sixth floors of the New Masonic Temple, corner of New York Avenue, Thirteenth, and H Streets N. W., and is easily accessible from all parts of the city. The quarters are well equipped with commodious class rooms, moot court rooms, offices, the law library, and a students' room.† *From the address of Hon. Elihu Root, President of the American Bar Association August, 1916. †Beginning September 1, 1920, The Law will occupy its new Building at 1435 K Street Northwest. |
