university COLLEGE of Law.


Madison.-One Of the most interest
ing and significant changes in the
education and preparation for a
profession during the last quarter of a
century has been in the training of
lawyers. The old plan of reading law
in the office of a practicing lawyer
has been largely superseded by train
ing in law schools. A great majority
of those who seek admission to the
bar each year have been students at
law schools, whereas generation ago
the number of graduates of such
schools applying was proportionately
small. To-day there are in the United
States 108 law schools with some 49,
900 students, while in 1880 there were
but 43 law schools and 1000 students.
Members of the bar, whether or not
themselves graduates of law schools,
recognize the fact that the desultory
reading in a busy law office, while it
gives familiarity with the routine Of
flee work and some experience, can
not be equivalent for thorough and
systematic instruction by experienced
teachers for a period of three years.
Practicing lawyers have found that it
is more profitable to employ as clerk
for Office work a graduate of college
of law rather than an ambitious young
man who knows nothing of the work.
In response to this demand for legal
training on the part of young men, the
course of law in the law schools of the
country have been greatly improved
and strengthened and the standard
generally considerably raised. The
college of law at the University of
Wisconsin has been developed and
strengthened in several directions
during the last two years. The fac
ulty has been increased, the course of
study strengthened, the standard of
admission raised, and substantial adj
ditions have been made to the library.
