National Law Fraternity.

The Corliss club and the law school
are receiving congratulations this
week on the prospective installation Of
the club into a national law fraternity.
The granting Of charter by the Phi
Alpha Delta fraternity to the Corliss
club is significant not only of the merit
of the members composing that club
but also of the position which the law
school of the university has within the
past few years attained
Before a national charter II granted
to any local fraternity, the school must
have reached certain high standard,
and while the judgment passed by a
national fraternity is not necessarily
infalIIble, yet considering the extreme
care with which an institution IL scrut :
inized, the acceptance of local club
into a national fraternity is considered
a very favorable comment.
