Men Who Are Getting knowledge in Local
Institutions.
Societies Have Been Organized-Ad-
dftiOnal Students EnrOlled-Sub-
jects to he Debated.

All the little preliminaries of organization
have been disposed of and the work at the
law schools of the city is we'll under way.
Professors and students are attacking
their tasks with vim and earnestness
which speak well for the interest of both.
Any who have entered any one Of the
| schools this year with the idea that they
are there simply to spend short time each
evening listening to the lectures and thus
to acquire a knowledge of the law by merely
absorbing something of what they hear are
being speedily disabused of this notion. A
careful study of the lessons assigned is con-
| sidered to be of the highest Importance, and
frequent quizzes bring out the points upon
which further study is necessary.
The reassembling of the schools is also a
signal for the reorganization of the various
societies and class organizations which Sc
cure to the students much pleasant and
profitable intercourse with one another.
Some Of the classes have already complet-
ed their organization for the present year,
while others have as yet taken only the
preliminary steps,
