COURSES PLANNED
IN CONQUEST OF AIR
Catholic University to Give
Instructions in Radio and
Aviation Law.

The Catholic University of America
through its departments of law and
Of mechanics will offer this year foI
the first time series Of courses deal
ing with modern conquest of the air
both from the standpoint of aviation
and of radio.
In the School of Law DR.. James J.
Hayden will conduct a graduate course
in air law, This work is intended pri-
marily for the benefit of those persons
who are familiar with the fundamentals
of the common law and of modern
statute law. and who desire to under
take study of what the courts are
now doing and may hereafter do in
cases involving the use and control OF
the air. The subject is divided into
aviation and radio law The work OF
the class room will be merely a start
ing point; the real task will consist
of research by the students of the class
The work of the course will be supple
mentetd by lectures by lawyers who are
eminent in their respective fields, and
who are invited to discuss their special
problems in connection with the regular
activities of the class.
To Divide Courses.
Under present plans the first semester
of the academic year will be devoted to
the study of aviation law, and the Sec
ond semester to radio law. Considera-
ton will be given both to the national
and the International aspects in each
separate branch. It Is thought that
Washington is an ideal city in which
to, conduct such study because of the
unexcelled library and oficial govern
mental facilities for gathering, digest
ing and disseminating information con-
corning every feature of the air law.
The department of mechanics is
sponsoring two courses of lectures to be
given during the current year on aero
dynamicS and aeronautics in celebrate
ing the thirtieth anniversary of the
establishment of the first American
wind tunnel at the university. These
courses will be given under the general
direction and supervision of Prof Louis
H. Crook, head of the department.
The first series of lectures will be
delivered by DR.. Max M Munk, widely
known in this country and in Europe,
where he was formerly in charge of
aerodynamic research, Goettigen Aero
dynamic Institute. Germany. Since
coming to the United States DR.. Monk
has held many important positions,
among them being head of department
of research, the National Advisory Com
mittee for Aeronautics. He has like
wise been a frequent contributor to
leading technical magazines in his field.
DR.. Monk will conduct his lectures on
Tuesday and Thursday afternoons
throughout the year. This series will
be confined to the subject of fluid dy-
namics, and is so arranged that stu
dents seeking advanced degrees may
secure graduate credit for completing
the work of the course; also the series
will be adapted to the needs of aircraft
designers and engineers in allied arts.
DR.. Monks own text on fluid dynamics
will be one Of the printed sources used
in the course.
Specialists to Lecture.
A second series of an entirely differ

school year. These lectures will be
popular, free to the public, and will
cover many phases of modern aeronau-
tics and aerodynamics. These lectures
viii be given at 6 pm, twice month,
