AT THE UNIVERSITY.

The university chapel was filled to
overlooking this morning on the occa-
sion of the first exercises. President
Northrop delivered a short address,
Which was enthusiastically received.
He urged the Importance of hard work
and development of a strong character,
| and impressed on the new students that
| their life at college would be whatever
| they might make it. In a humorous
vein he advised the freshmen class to
delay organization for some time, and
| recommended that all strength con-
| tests between the classes be held on
! the drill grounds.
AT the close of the speech the fresh
men had their first opportunity to unite
| in the Ski-u-Mah.
Irwin A. Churchill, Of the senior
| class, has been appointed student as

Dean Pattee lectured to all day and
night classes of the law school upon
| the subject Legal Culture" He said
| in substance:
| There is an advantage in being at
the beginning rather than at the end
| of any enterprise in human life. We
| often think the beginner labors under
great disadvantages, but the opposite
of this is certainly true in this re-
spect, that, at the beginning, we have
| made no mistakes nor committed any
| folly. AS the end of an enterprise as
at the end of life we may possibly look
back on irretrievable mistakes and re-
| grettable foolishness. You all desire
| to reach the end of: life with as few
| mistakes and as little folly behind you
| as possible. How shall you do this =?
| Perform every, duty that comes to you
| as man and as student just as well
as you can do it. In such case you can
make no mistakes which need give you
regret.
Attain the highest possible concep-
| ton of what a lawyer should be, both
| as man and a practitioner at the bar
Don't be contented with the narrow
| conception OF the man who sees no law
| beyond the ordinances Of the city, the
statutes of the state, the constitutions
| of commemorative, or even the con-
| situations of federated governments.
! There are laws much greater than
these; there are laws that regulate the
| construction of nations themselves.
and even beyond the wide reach
are the dictates of reason so often in
! Voked by that greatest of American
| Jurlsts, John Marshall while he was
| constructing a system of constitutional
jurisprudence which stands unparal-
leled in the history of civilization Let
your conception Of law be as broad as
| the armament Of law itself"
The first weeks enrolment in the
| law school is the largest in the history
of that department
Work on the foundation of the addi-
ton to the law building has been be-

OF caVe-1n of the dirt near the end

Dobie, Shevlin and Bernhagen The
work was fair, considering the time OF
the season. Schacht and Webster were
in the game and Davies appeared or

dates is very disappointing, as there is
more chance than ever before for e
new man to make the team.
