Virginia has two noted and long established
Law Schools. That of tie College of WI, am
and Mary (the Oldest in the Union except Har-
vsrd,) was commenced in 1873, or three years
before that at Ltchfed when the Hon. George
Wylhe was appointed Professor of Law. In
1898 it's FIRST graduate received his degree rs
Bachelor of Laws. The successive Professors
have been Judge st. George Tucker, appointed
in 1900; Judge VIM. Nelson, 1904; Robert
Nelsoy; Judge James Semple, 1920; Judge
y. Beverly Tucker 1888; and Judge George
p. Scalburgh, 1852, the present inc AMBIENT.
The latter has lately been appointed Judge in
the Court of Claims established at the last
session of Congress. The total number of grad
yates is l67, which is bu; small proportion of
all the students.
The Law School of the University of Virginia

The aggregate of students since 1926 amounts to
AS, comprising however numerous cases OF
repetition of the same name. It's Professors have
been-F. Walker Gilmer, 1925; John Tayloe
Lomax, 1885, John A. G. Davis, 1910;

pass rigorous written examinations; and asa
high standard is used this accounts for the small
proportion of graduates to the entire number OF
students The course of study has been much
enlarged since 1851. Among the private law
schools of note in Virginia is that OF Judge
Brockenborough, of the United States Circuit
Court, in Lexington. Judge Lomax formerly
had one in Fredericksburg after resigning his
Professorshp at Charlottesville.
In leA7 the Law Department of the Univer
sty of Louisiana in New Orleans was opened
with a Faculty of four Professors; and it has
since been the most important school OF this
character south of Virginia. The number of
graduates each year has averaged about 30.
Among its Professors have been Judge Ii. A.
Bullard, formerly of the Supreme Court; L. IL.
McCaleb; Randell Hunt, and L. b. Munroe.
Chief Justice Eustis delivers a series OF lectures
at each term. Of the first Faculty was Richard
Henry Wilde, whose researches in Italian liter
AZURE gained him name among men of letters.
OF other Southern schools there are but few.
That of VIM. Tracy Gould at Augusta, Ga, has
been successfully conducted for several years
That of the University of North Carolina was
commenced in 1915, and now has, We believe,
two Professors but not many students In Tus-
caloosa, Ala, a Law Department Of the State
University was created several years ago, but
as the income of its Professor was left depend
ent wholly on the fees of the department it
never went into operation. In Baltimore, some
twenty years since, David Hoffman, LID. gave
instruction in law, but the principal fruit of his
labors was mis- excellent work on the "COurse
"of Study for lawyers.
The principal Law School in the Western
States has been that at Transylyania Univer-
sity, in which two Professors of Law were APP
pointed in 1899. Among its first lecturers
was Henry Clay 1t is now conducted by
Geo. ID. Robertson, Ii. D., Francis X Hunt
and Geo. y. Kinkead. The Louisville Law
School was organized in 1913. Its present Pro-
fesfors are Henry Pirtle, Ii. d., Jas. Pryor
and w. +. Bullock and twenty students grad
uated this Spring. The Nashville School was
founded year since, when +. Il. Fogg and w.
+. Cooper accepted the principal Professorships.
That of Lebanon, Tenn, has been in O flourish
ing condition for several years, under the same
Faculty: A. Carutbers late State Circuit Judge, |
\. Green late Of State Supreme Court, and b.
L. Ridley one Of the State Chancellors. At its
last semi-annual session il had &c students, of
whom 26 graduated. The Western Military In
