Yesterday the college conferred upon
Governor Mickey the degree OF doctor Of
law an honor that very much surprised

Embryo Lawyers May Fail.
It is said several OF the young men taking
| the examination before the State Bar com
mission for permission to practice law In
Nebraska will fail of their ambition this
| year and will have to try again. When this
became known around the state house re-
quest was made to the board for copy OF
the questions to be published after the
commission concluded its work. The re-
quest was refused. two members of the
board holding that such n course was not
only unprecedented, but the information
/ could not be given out without an order
of the supreme court. Notwithstanding that
the records of the examination are public
records The reason given by the two
! members of the commission was that the
publication of the questions might assist
some student in the future to pass his
examination by showing him upon what
subjects to post himself before the exami'
! nation.
Another reason for the non-publication oi
the questions, though not given by any
member Of the board, is the nature of some
of the questions. While along most sub
jects the questions are said to be good ones
along the line of constitutional law, some
OF the applicants at least are wondering
what the definition of the questions has
to do with practicing law in Nebraska
Some OF these questions which the commits
sion will refuse to give out are:
