YALE LAW SCHOOL OPENS
HADLEY MAKES ADDRESS
Speaks of the Rapid Advance Made by Department in
 Past Year.

At the Yale Law school yesterday noon President Hadley and Dean Rog- CTS addressed the entering. class regard ing their work in the Law school and their future as professional men, Both President Hadley and the dean empha- sized the great position of importance which professional men, and particu- larly lawyers, occupy in the great polit- ical and social fabric of the country, and their words were of such force as to leave a lasting impression upon the young men who listened.
 President Hadley remarked upon the rapid advancement made in the Yale Law school in the past few years and said he was proud to consider it one of the most creditable and important departments of the university. He ex- tended to the entering students the hearty interest of Yale and bade them look upon themselves as among the most honored of Yale's undergraduates and as men who should in the future wield a peculiar power in the welfare of their country.
 Dean Rogers also dwelt upon the great opportunity for good that fell in lawyers way, and he spoke very strongly upon the ethics of the pro- fession which, though sometimes sian. dered, is nevertheless one Of great mo- bleness when one considers that it deals with and seeks to defend the social, commercial and governmental integrity of this great nation.
 At noon about one hundred new stu dents had registered in the entering class and the register was not yet com plete. There is every promise that the new class will maintain the numerical power of the school and at the same time 1t is remarked with genuine pleas ure that many academic graduates and men of fine character are to be found in the new class.

Bankruptcy Court.

Referee Newton had two matters be- fore him in the local bankruptcy court yesterday. The finst was final hear ing in the bankrupt estate of Edward Trednick, a Meriden tailor. There are a number of claims for work per- formed by employees and the payment of these will likely take up the entire assets so there is likely no chance for other creditors after these preferred claims are paid.
