TO INCREASE ATTENDANCE
The school furnished instruction last

two classes-the first-year class consist
ing Of twenty nine men, and the second
year class consisting of sixteen men. This
body of students who entered the course
of an entirely new institution relying on
its strength of faculty and it's course
OF instruction, will be greatly augmented
this fall by others who are now satisfied
with the proved merits of the school. At
the last session of the legislature an act
was passed providing in substance that
graduates of a Minnesota law college
complying with the prescribed standard,
and the character of which was approved
by the supreme court of the state, should
be entitled to certificate of admission
to the bar without special examination
or the payment of fees. The ST. Paul
College Of Law presented to the supreme
court evidence that it is a college of the
prescribed standard and the supreme
court issued a certificate Of approval.
OF the forty-Six men in attendance the
last year, five were from outside of St.
Paul. and the officers are exerting them
selves to have the schooi presented to
the attention of all who contemplate
legal education in all parts of the state.
For this purpose thousands Of catalogues
have been distributed throughout Min
nesota and the Dakotas.
