With the growth and development of the law school came the demand for a well organized law association to meet the needs of all earnest and enterprising students. The law classes, having realized that such an organization was indispensable, launched their plans early in 1902 to establish a permanent society for the law students. These plans were carried out with energy and enthu siasm and culminated in the creation of our present association. Since its organization in 1902, its purpose "of affording an opportunity to practice in legal arguments, and of familiarizing ourselves with the pro ceedings in courts of justice," has been strictly adhered to and its members have accomplished the most encouraging results. The association, embracing as it does the Moot Court, has at all times received the hearty support and co operation of the members of the faculty. Its increasing success and good fortune can be directly attrib uted to the continued manifestations of interest and assistance on the part of the law professors. Progress in the work of the Moot Court has become singularly noticeable this year; for it has been under the direct supervision of our able teachers and their efforts have improved it won derfully in every respect. The mem bership acknowledges with deep appreciation the many favors of the faculty. Their willingness at all times to aid the Association has been due evidence of their faith in and regard for the work which it has undertaken. The present year has been an eminently successful one for the Association and the great interest which its members now display promises it a most prosperous career in the future. The splendid efforts of its officers, their faithfulness to their assigned duties, the large and growing voluntary membership, the co-operation andl supp)lort of the indi v'idual members, all prove conclus ively that its foundation is fixed and( secure and that it has beconme a per manent andl important factor in the law school. Each successive meeting shows a mlarkedl implrovement in the effi ciency and use fulness of the working element; of the Association, and the constructive work wvhich they are accomplishing is a sure guide to future adlvanlcement and p)rofit. The active, trustworthy men in the or ganizat ion are rapidily becoming con versant wvith the mietho'ds of -the courts and the training which they are receiving will go far to familiar ize thiem with the work which lies before them in actual practice. The majority of the men have realized the practical value of the experience to be gained by constant work in the Association; they have learned the rare worth of this early instruction, and they are consistently availing themselves of such splendid oppor tunities. Commencement Plans for the Law School. The law school this year will have, if plans work out, a properly distinct part in the commencement exercises. Instead of having the address to the law students made as in previous years on the morning of Wednes day of commencement week this will be given on the night of Friday, June 7, just preceding commence ment week. The name of the speaker has not yet been announced. There is a proposal that the law students hold that night after the address a banquet at one of the hotels, at Which the orator shall be the chief guest. Gowns are -being ordered for the -law students with appropriate hoods to be worn during the exercises. The law classes will be represented on commencement day- by Alan Johnstone, Jr., of the senior class. Law Students in the Societies. Law students are always expected to take much interest in the work of literary societies. Their profession requires a large amount of extem poraneous speaking, and the neces sary training in this art can be ob tained most easily by constant prac Befome Ex.ams It's the strenuous life and thie midnight oil.

Law students of the University have made them selves very valuable members of the Clariosophic and Euphradian soci eties since the founding of the-school of law. This session in particular they have been especially active. In each society law students form a most important group of debaters ancd orators. As evidence of their sincere ser vice as shown by the recognition given them by their respective soci eties, the following list of law men who have held important society offices during this session is ap pended. In the Clariosophic Society, T. S. McMillan, vice-president and pres ident ; M. C. Foster, senior literary critic and president; J. D. Branden burg, junior literary critic; W. D. Barnett, sergeant-at-arms and sec retary; T. C. Cork, debatinn coun cil, and T. K. Vassy, debating coun cil. In the Euphradian Society, F. V. Cappelmann, literary critic and debating council; R. S. Owens, sec retary and president ; Alan John stone, Jr., debating council; J. B. Murphy, debating council, and James Allan, Jr., debating council. It isfWorthy of note that each of the recently elected junior presidents of the societies are law students. This is really more than ordinarily rare and speaks well for these men. I. C.
