Contracts, by Professor Frederic C. Woodward, of Stanford University.

St. George T. Brooke, Professor of Law in the University of West Virginia, has been obliged to give up his school duties owing to serious illness. Dr. Brooke is the oldest professor in the University of West Virginia Law School, having begun his work with the founding of the school in the fall of 1878. During these years he has been a faithful and efficient worker, held in the highest esteem by all with whom he came in contact. Dr. Brooke's Chair is now being temporarily filled by Charles James Hogg, son of the Hon. Charles E. Hogg, Dean of the Law Faculty.

Henry Christian Hill, of the Stetson University Law School, Deland, Florida, has been appointed Professor of Real Property and Corporations in the Law Department of the University of Missouri. Professor Hill graduated from Bowdoin in 1888; studied and practiced law in Portland, Me.; afterwards going West and taking the LL. B. degree at the Michigan Law School in 1899. From 1899 to 1905 he practiced law in Detroit, and for the past three years has been teaching in Stetson University.

The University of Wisconsin College of Law has put into effect this year two years of college preparation in addition to the high school preparation of all students who enter as candidates for a degree; two years ago the requirement of one year in college was put into force. Prospective candidates for admission have largely anticipated this requirement, and the result is that this year the attendance in the College of Law has not fallen off from that of the previous year.

Judge Andrew Anderson, who has charge of the courses on Commercial Paper and Real Property at the University of Notre Dame, has completed his fiftieth year of service at the bar in South Bend, Ind. Judge Anderson was graduated at the Albany Law School more than a half century ago, and is considered one of the leading lawyers of Indiana.

Prof. Harry A. Bigelow, of the University of Chicago Law School, has been on leave of absence for the present year owing to ill health. His courses have been given during the year by Prof. Albert M. Kales, of Northwestern University, Prof. S. H. E. Freund, of Boston University, and Messrs. Henicksman and Bell, of the Chicago Bar. Prof. Bigelow will return to his law school duties next October.

THE

HE Committee appointed two years ago by the Section of Legal Education of the American Bar Association to draft a set of standard rules for Admission to the Bar has submitted to the members of the Section certain points for the purpose of a general expression of opinion. Mr. Lucien H. Alexander, Chairman of the Committee, has stated it will materially aid the work of the Committee if law professors, members of boards of bar examiners, and those interested in matters pertaining to legal education will express their opinions upon the questions now being considered. The points pending are given below, and all who are interested in the subject of Admission to the Bar are requested to read them and favor the Committee with an expression of their views.

1. Must the candidate for admission be a citizen of the United States, or will declaration of intention to become a citizen be sufficient?

the state to the bar of which he is applying for admission, or will mere residence or the intention to maintain his principal office therein be sufficient?

Consider the case of a citizen of New Jersey, residing in a New Jersey suburb of New York City, who desires to maintain an office and practice in the latter.

3. Of what should the proof of "good moral character" consist?

It is well to bear in mind that in some jurisdictions a general certificate to that effect-one which is often given merely pro forma-from a member of the bar is sufficient, while in others one or more affidavits are required, and in still others proof from the lawyer giving the certificate or making the affidavit as to how long a time, where, and under what circumstances he has known the candidate.

4. Shall the lawyer be designated “Attorney and Counselor at Law" or merely "Attorney at Law"?
