IN LAW ADDED
TO NATIONAL U.
Chancellor Announces
Completion Of Plans

Chancellor Leslie c. Garnett, Of
National University, announced
yesterday that arrangements have
been completed for the opening on
September 26 of that institutions
seventieth academic year.
For the information of prospec-
tive students, officials of the uni
versity said the new rules for ad-
mission to the bar of the U. S.
Court of Appeals will not be ap-
plicable to students entering the
school this September provided
they complete the threeyear
course in law, pass a bar exam
ination under the present rules
Of the District Court and apply
for admission to the bar of the
Appellate Court prior to July /,
1943.
NeW LolU Courses
During the coming year special
emphasis will be laid on several
courses added to the curriculum
In the law school, headed by Dean
Charles Pergler.
Among these are courses in la.
Dor law, conducted by A. H. Feller
and Albert L. Stern, special assist
ants to the Attorney General;
public utility law. conducted by
Richmond B. Keech, vice chair
man of the Public Utilities Com
mission, and a lecture course on
the jurisdiction of the Federal
courts, given by Julian I. Rich
ards, former assistant U. S. At
torney.
In the School of Economies and
Government, under the direction
Of Dean Eugene CaruSi, a particu-
lar effort has been made to ar
range courses offering the most
desirable groundwork for the study
Of law. Having in mind the fact
that the practice of law today in
wolves many important questions
relating to the science of govern
ment and economics, officials Of
this branch Of the University have
planned the curriculum to pre-
pare the student for practice be
fore the various administrative
agencies as well as general prac-
tice.
