AMONG THE LAW SCHOOLS.

AT Columbian Law School the year mas
opened with great vigor and activity on
the part of both students and faculty. The
receipt N rendered last weel, by the faculty
to the students was Il great success, and
tended to greatly increase the mutual ac-
quaintance of both.
The debating society has organized for
work with the following officers: Presi-
dent, A. A. Davis; vice president, John Ii.
Sleman, jr.; secretary, c. NJ. Lane; treas
urer, w. l.. Symons. The executive COM
mittee is composed of Frank III. Hitchcock,
chairman; l.. r. Speer, j. w. Stuart, Alan
.. Ciephane, Walter T. Colquitt, A. b. Sci
bold, A. ID. Albert, jr The following as
,sgnment Of subjects and debaters for the

Glass politics are becoming interesting
even chus early in the term. The presi
dency OF the senior class, which is con-
of the students, is being eagerly sought by
several members of the class. The cam
paign managers of the various candidat ties
are very active and the amount of button
holing which is being done would do credit
to the professional lobbyist.
The junior class is also in the ferment
incident to the formation of class
ganization, but will probably never reach
that condition unless some way can be de-
vised to put stop to the unlimited flow of
eloquence which several of its members are
prone to indI lge in on every possible oc-
casion. A meeting has already been held at
which Mr.. Baker was chosen temporary
chairman and Mr.. H. C. Spencer temper
airy secretary.
