Carolina Student Studying Abroad Tells Impressions A former vice-president of the Carolina student body and a Full bright Fellowship winner to study jurisprudence at the University of London writes that students at the English school are lef. freer to ferret out information on their own than here at,the University. Bob llolmes, who was elected to serve as student body vice-presi dent this year prior to receiving the Fullbright Fellowship, in a letter to Dean Samuel L. Prince of the University Law School, gave comparisons and his own impres sions about the difference in the English school and Carolina. Mr. Holmes writes: "The lectures here are not nearly so complete as those at home; the student is left more on his own to ferret out the information. Assignments are not used, either; the readiing is done from a syllabus given in advance to cover the wvhole subject. "It may be unfair of me to form a conclusion after only a short time here, but my first impression 'is that (the average student does not know as much law upon grad uating from here as he would have learned at USC. This may be because the L. L. B. is an under gradiuate degree and the students conmc to law school straight from high school." "They do not take the English equivalent to our Bar examination until they have served an appren ticeship for twvo years subsequent to graduation.. By this time they may be as well prepared or better; I have no way of knowing about this.

At the close of 11 weeks an examination was given at which time the sponsor, the Department of Education in Baltimore, deemed it a success. Although he enjoyed teaching via television, Dr. Murphy says that he "prefers teaching in the classroom." Likes Student Inspiration "I do my best teaching when I get inspiration from the student. This way, teaching the imperfect subjunctive year after year does not become dull," he said.

After majoring in classical lan guages at the University of Toronto, he spent two years at Grinnell College in Iowa.
