The University Law School was opened in September, 1905, and is now in its second It has been exceedingly successful, for, having in its first year but seven students, it

has opened in its second year with thirty-nine students, over three-fourths of whom are college graduates. The situation of the school in the heart of the Wall Street district, New York City, at No. 42 Broadway, makes it convenient to students connected with the important law offices. and accessible to all the lines of transportation converging in and reaching to and from the city.

The faculty comprises seven professors, and as the number of students is relatively small, personal attention can be given to the needs of each member of the classes.

The case system of instruction is followed, and the books adopted are practically those used at the Harvard Law School. The work assigned is sufficient, if the student is in a position to give his undivided attention to the law, to occupy all his time. At present the Course covers twelve hours' weekly instruction, and it requires three years to obtain the degree of LL.B., and a fourth year to attain that of LL.M.

It is the aim of the school to make is

students affument lawyers, and qualify them for the conduct of public affairs for the proper administration of which a knowledge of law is essential. The school affords a thorough philosophical and scientific education in the common, statutory, and public law of the United States and England and their systems of Equity Jurisprudence; and will, from the year 1907-8, provide courses in the Civil and Roman Law as administered in the recently acquired Colonies.

The members of the faculty are: Rev. Daniel J. Quinn, S.J., President; Paul Fuller, Dean of the Law School; Rev. T. J. Shealy, S.J., Professor of General Jurisprudence; Francis Pope, LL.M., Professor of Law and Secretary of the Faculty; Ralph H. Holland A.B., LL.B., Professor of Law; H. Gerald Chapin, LL.M., Professor of Law; Francis Raymond Stark, Ph.D., LL.B., Professor of Law; J. E. Corrigan, A.B., LL. B., Professor of Law; Ralph W. Gifford, A.B., LL. B., Professor of Law.

Special lectures will be given by the Hon. Mongan J. O'Brien, Presiding Justice, Appellate Division (First Department) of the Supreme Court, a graduate of Fordham University of '72; and by Frederick R. Coudert, the latter being the special lecturer on Constitutional Law, The system, followed in the Law School is believed to be absolutely the best. The professors assign readings from text books, which students are expected to study thoroughly The lecturers review the matter embraced in the text books and point out the practical application of the principles treated. "Quiz" classes are held under an efficient "quiz" master. Students thus have three opportunities to familiarize themselves with each topic treated in the course; by stray of text books, by discussion in lectures, and by practically applying in the "quiz" the principles acquired.

The degree of Bachelor of Arts is conferred at the end of the course if the candidate has passed successfully all the examinations, and has given evidence of good moral character. Graduates may, in the post-graduate course, pursue the higher studies, and. at the end of the year, receive the degree of Master of Arts. This degree, also, may be conferred on graduates after two years of professional study. The degree of Bachelor of Science is conferred in the non-classical course.

Fordham has been foremost among Catholic institutions in promoting athletics that really benefit the student, not harm him. Football, a rough, dangerous sport, has been kept in the background, while baseball, handball, running, leaping, and tennis have been encouraged. The athletic field at Fordham extends over ten acres, and is splendidly equipped for all sports. A running track, a baseball field, with a commodious grandstand. handball courts, and lawn tennis grounds afford the students ample facilities for healthful exercise. During the baseball season of 1905 the 'Varsity team played on its own grounds some of the best university and college teams in the country and won a very large proportion of its games. The Junior Hall team was equally successful. Students have won medals in the various athletic club and inter-scholastic games held in the vicinity of the metropolis.

It possesses, also, the famous Cambasville Library. which for works on ancient and modern art is the largest and most valuable collection in the country. Besides the college library, there is also the circulating library, containing over 10.000 volumes, specially adapted to the needs of the students. Connected with it is a large reading-room, supplied with all conveniences for consultation and private work. All of these buildings are heated by steam and lighted by electricity, both supplied by the college plants.

HEALTH AND SANITATION.

The New York Health Journal, an authority on matters of sanitation and hygiene, in a recent editorial on "Schools from a Hygienic Viewpoint." said:

"Fordham University's freedom from malarial influences is insured by reason of its location, and the pure air and pure water afforded are important factors in the high standard of health which prevails among the students. The sleeping apartments of the Fordham University are admirably arranged and well ventilated. The food served is intelligently selected, and is of a character that contributes greatly to the health of the hoarders. The classrooms are arranged with judgment, and are lighted in such a way that no injury is caused to the eyes.

"The hygienist knows that without health the deepest learning is of no avail, but when highest mental training and ample security to health are alike assured, the pleasure one finds in bestowing commendation is doubled. Therefore we take far more than ordinary satisfaction in bestowing the unqualified editorial endorsement of the New York Health Journal upon Fordham University."*

A Story of Marvellous Achievement-One of the Most Brilliant in America's Musical History.

C

INCINNATI is widely known as a centre of culture in both music and art. The story of the Queen City's great progress in music really dates back to the Winter of 1867 when a brave little woman, without financial resources, but rich in faith and with a sublime devotion to a newborn cause, dedicated the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music to the world of melody.

From the moment of the inception of that movement for Greater Musical Culture, Cincinn uti has progressed steadily and the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music has, under Miss Baur's direction, widened its circle of influence until there is not a State to-day that has not profited by the culture of its graduates.

FOR YOUNG LADIES

NASHVILLE, TENN.

E

NVIRONMENT, climate and general hygienic conditions are among the most important considerations for a successful educational institution. Ward Seminary, established in 1865, is located in Nashville, Tennessee, the acknowledged educational centre of the South. Its work is thorough, practical and refining, and in all the improved methods of education and the demands of a progressive period this school stands in the front rank. Nashville has the Carnegie, State and other libraries that afford excellent facilities for study to the students of its numerous public and private schools, its colleges and universities and literary coteries. The Seminary's environment is the very best.

There are entertainments for relaxation; the performances of the most celebrated singers, pianists, lecturers and readers being accessible to the students. Then there are visits to the numerous points of historical interest surrounding Nashville, and excursions extending to Washington and to Cuba are arranged by the Seminary management.
