The trustees and faculty feel that in
securing the assistance of taesa Gis-
tinguished judges and lawyers they
have accomplished something that VIII
prove Of the greatest benefit to these
taking the law course in the South
Carolina College. The number OF those
enrolled in the law department during
the last two years has been the largest
in the history OF the college, and the
hope is entertained that the prospect
of these additional lectures may still
further. increase the growing number
of law students.
The great value of the training af-
forded by schools Of law has been toe
thoroughly demonstrated to render
necessary any arguments in their sup
port. The day Of prepara ton for the
bar by solitary study in lawyers
Office has practically passed. Everyone
familiar with the working Of z law
school must have Been impressed WITH
the increased interest and zeal that re-
suit from the mere association OF young
men who have come together Tor tae
common purpose of studying law. The
daily discussions OF questions OF ia",
not only with the professors. but also
with each other, beget an enthusiasm
for the law which possibly, in some in
stances. could never have been acquired
otherwise.
The advantage of attending profes-
sional school in the State in which
man is to practice his profession IS IN
no case more obvious than IL that OF
LAWYER. Besides the familiarity gained
with the decisions and statute law OF
the State, the friendships that he forms
at such a school add very materially to
his future usefulness as Q citizen. Inc
