20 TO GET THE AXE
Freshman Class in Law School Will Miss Many Faces After
 Christmas Holidays.
.FLUNKED THEIR EXAMS
While Standard of the Department Is Being Raised Deadwood Has -
 to Depart

This Is the season of the year when the faculty of the Yale law school gets ready to wield the axe. and those who nave not passed the required number of hours during the fall of their freshman year are dropped so that the progress of the rest Of the class will not be lmpeded While the figures have not officially be announc- cd it is learned on good authority that the axe fell on twenty members Of the present freshman class and that their faces will no longer be seen in the hallowed precincts
 Going to law school here ls not go easy as 1t once was. Since Dean Henry Wade Rogers has been in charge of the department the stand ard of the school has steadily risen until now 1t is one of the foremost. In the June of 1906 rule was passed that dating from three years from that time no student would be allow cd In the law department who had not aad two years of College work or the equivalent. This rule has had the tendency to make the ingoing classes of the past three years very large, and this present year the lngoing class broke the records as it was the last chance for those without college work. II was expected that there would be general cleaning out about Christ mas time. and it was a surprise when it became known around that only twenty had failed to pass the Christ mas examinations The upper class men do not have Christmas eXamina- tions, the whole year's work being judged on the tests In June anl the class room reeitations
