larged upon by one Blackstone, who
after failing as practitioner at the
bar wrote textbook that all good
students are expected to read like the
bible, to the latest decision of the
courts in the beef trust cases in which
the law preventing few men from
acquiring all the property in the world
is laid down as the court thinks it is.

its able instructors and Industrious
