UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA LAW
SCHOOL.

1t has recently been ssceitiined that
some Misrepresentation exists 10 the pub
lie mind relative to the proposed extern
sion of the t me required for the compile.
tiOn of the University of Virginia law
course. 1t is Understood by come that
The new regulation, prescribing three
wears OF residence work met Fad of two
for graduation, will become effective in
September OF the pre- ent year; whereas,
in fact, 1t will not I ecome effective until
September OF 1909
The splendid new home OF the univer-
sity law school, recently provided for,
will be located on the lett-haud side Of
the walk, just inside the postoffice en-
france. Work of construction will
probably be gotten well under way the
coming fall.
The law library has just received
valuable donation from q distinguished
gentleman of the north; a collection OF
about $50 volumes OF English reports
and statutes from 1865 to 1908, inclusive
Last year (l907-08), with an euroll-
mept Of 28S students, the attendance OF
the law school surpassed that OF all pre-
cediDg years. Ooincidsnt with the ex-
tans'o of the residet c. ptr,Od of udy
in 1908, the numbtr of professors in the
school will be increased t. five. At pres
ent there ara only three full professors,
with an adjunct professor and two as
sistants.
Professor William Minor Lille, who
has spent the past year on vacation In
Europe, will return u the university
early in August, and will resume his
usual duties at the opening OF the COM
log session, September TO- Adjunct
Professor Armistead M. Dobie, who
lectured to Professor L'ls's classes last

The action of the Yankees mean thst
Halswell will have the empty honor OF a

athletes shows how bitterly they resent
the charges of fouling. There are but
two days more OF the met. The net
result will probably be that athletic re-
lations between England and America
will be severed f r yesrs to come.
