EMBRYONIC LAWYERS
FIRST CALLED MULES"
BY II. u. PRESIDENT

Why students in the School Of Law are
called mules" has been explained many
ways. \. T. Gentry, who was graduated
from that school in 1888. gives an ex.
PLANTATION that is different from the one
usually heard. The common explanation
is thai the first letters of the words Mis-
souri University Law School," m-u-l-s,
gave rise to the now popular designation
Of the embryonic barristers.
But Mr.. Gentry says the lawyers we're
once having q celebration in their build
ing. What was being celebrated is not
remembered but the occasion demanded
and received noise enough to disturb 9TH
er schools on the West Campus. X. H.
jesse. who was a; that time president Of
the University. came TO the Law Building.
He called all the students together and
talked 10 them in plain but forceful Ian
guage. In his speech he compared the Law
students TO a drove of mules.
You are as noisy and as uncouih as a
bunch of mules we're the words he
used, as remembered by Mr.. Gentry. The
name stayed with the men, until now
even the building is referred to as the
Law Barn"

that she would have gained more IL she
had frs; published her iranslations and
then perhaps in another volume. a mum.
Der Of her own verses.
The original bits. though pretty in
thought at times. show a tendency to.
ward roughness in form. The rhythm is
crude occasionally and here and there a
bit Of verse will show lack of complete.
ness of treatment or polish.
In passing it may be mentioned that in
her poem The Katydid' the author
takes exception 10 Oliver Wendell
Holmes who thought his katydid was
feminine because she quivers 80 petulani
and shrill."
By far the best bit of work in the en-.
tire little volume is the translation Of
the songs Of Ossian from Coethe's prose
translation Of an English version.
Next in virtue comes the translation Of
Schillers Die Glocke." The iransla-
iions show at times the same tendency
toward roughness Of rhythm as in the
original bits of verse.

A Tale of Two Parks.

When Frederick Law Olmsied wrote
that Chicago is situated in a region most
unfayorsble 10 parks" he stated the case
conseryaiiyely. Much Of her park sys

his only recourse is TO the approach Of a
bridge across Chicago River. As against
this. Central Park. with the New York
park system generally. is situated in bold
and broken country, affording the ad-
vantage Of varied levels and shifting per-
spectiyes. 1t possesses innumerable an
cient boulders and lichen-coyered ledges.
and with few exceptions, which may
be seen in the southern portion. il is
blessed with a soil that even in its nat

native trees. Yet Mr.. W. b. Van Ingen.
an artist and amateur Of landscape gar
dening, prefers the Chicago parks as they
exist today TO our own-snd he is a
native New Yorker.
Mr.. Van lngen gives his reasons in
iOdays magazine section. They are. in
effect. Mr.. Olmsted's reasons. Having
delivered his designs for the Chicago
park system, the latter wrote that if the
city was ever TO have parks deserving
the name it would be because Of
persistent wisdom Of administration

reference. Of course. is 10 the persistent
in the administration of that
wOrld-famous masterpiece which the ma

and smiling interyales enabled him to
create. The difference lies in the two
systems of park management. Following
