Howard L. Wyand of the law school
have been initiated into Gamma Chap
ter of the Sigma Nu Sigma national
scholarship fraternity. These three
men distinguished themselves in scho-

scholarship fraternities and the only
one represented at National Univer-
sity. It's membership is honorary. the
principal requisite being uniformly
high marks in all courses taken by the
student.
A course in secretarial training. par
ticularly for stenographers, will be
given during the next academic year
at the school of business administra-
ton and government by Miss Helen
Gould. formerly assistant to the dean
of the college of commerce at the Uni
versity of Maryland. at Baltimore.
Miss Gould gave a similar course at
that university.
Public Speaking Course.
A course in public speaking has been
added to the curriculum for the com
ing year. In doing so National Uni
versity is but following the precedent
set by other institutions in giving col
lege credit for work of this character.
The course will be in charge of Dale
Carnegie. an author and lecturer, who
has been spending the past several
years in Europe. He has had teaching
| experience in England and France, as
we'll as this country, and has written
| public speaking text books.

| Representative at large from Illinois,
| will give a course in criminal law in
| the law school during the Winter
term, in addition to the one in trial
| practice which he gave last year.
The National University Masonic
| Club has awarded its scholarship for
| the coming year to George Walter
| Smith, who has been active in local
| fraternal circles.
Increased interest in graduate sub
jectS is being manifested each year BY
law students, according to Chancellor
/ Charles f. Carusi. The number of
members of the graduate classes is in
creasing over each preceding year at
even a greater ratio than is true of
the undergraduate classes. Because
of this increased interest National
University is now offering the degree
of doctor of civil law. the highest de-
gree in law which may be awarded in
course
The requirements for the degree of
doctor of civil law are somewhat
stringent. Besides requiring gradua-
tion from a recognized law school, the
student must also hold bachelor of
arts or equivalent degree from some
reputable college. The course of study
for the degree requires a minimum of
one year in residence, with the neces-
sity of writing a dissertation which
the candidate has to defend before
faculty representative or representa-
tives.
