ward Douglas White Law Club Is de-
velo~ing into a stable and beneficial
organization. The club is composed of
the morning law students who wish
to obtain additional practice in court
procedure outside the regular schedule
of courses. Each week it constitutes
itself into a court, modelled after the
United States Supreme Court. Taking
cases on appeal, the student members
of the court have the advantage Of
determining the law and its practical
application to a definite Sc. of facts.
Students as Pleaders.
The students alternate as pleaders
and justices, in that way giving every
! member of the club an equal oppor-
tunity to familiarize himself with the
routine of court. From the cases so
| far presented it is evident that the
students, upon graduation, will be
more familiar with court procedure.
The faculty has taken a great inter-
est in the club and has encouraged
| its members in every way possible.
