Home in Old Church.
At this time the home of the law
school was in an old church building
at 416 Fifth street NV, which it
had bought and occupied in 1865
and started life all over again, and
which accounts for its 18th ami
versary this year, to be celebrated
with dinner at the Mayflower Ho-
tel at 7 pm, Saturday. At this site
the school remained until 1884, when
it was moved to the new building
erected by George Washington Uni
versity at the southeast corner of
Fifteenth and H streets NV, where
now stands the Woodward Building.
The church building on Fifth
street was puilt shortly after Trinity
Episcopal Church was founded on
December 8, 1926, when a meeting
to consider the organization of a
parish between Christ Church, at
the Navy Yard, and st. John S
Church, near the White House, was
held in the council chamber of the
city hall. The cornerstone was laid

When the press carries an an
nouncement that the U. S. S. So
and-So was placed in commission
yesterday at such and such a navy
yard, the uninformed reader little
realizes the wealth of detail involved
in the procedure. If he gives the
matter any thought at all, he prob
ably has a vague idea that band
played, the national ensign was
hoisted, some speeches were made
and, presto, a new unit of the fleet
came into being.

Preparation for commissioning q

until the actual commissioning.
Each bureau of the Navy Depart
ment visualizes the needs of the YES
sci insofar as its cognizance of
equipment and stores is concerned,
and prepares an allowance list to
cover the various items that are con-
sidered necessary. Through long ex-
perience in dealing with the outfit

stage was lined with beautiful and
elaborate floral designs, while at
each end were large pyramidal
masses formed entirely of floral
bouquets, baskets, etc. On one
side Of the stage the graduates
were seated, and on the other the
members of the faculty and the in
vited guests. Among the latter
were Justice Miller and ex-Justice

in May, 1928, and the building first
occupied on April IL, 1929. The Rev.
Henry Van Dyke Johns was rector
until 1880 and Francis Scott Key
was senior warden. In 1840 a move
ment to make Washington a see city
was conceived in Trinity and it was
hoped that means would be found to
erect a church that would be "a
witness to God in the National Cap
ital." But the response was disap-
pointing and the chance of Trinity
becoming pro-cathedral dwindled.
However, partly through the philan-
thropy of w. w. Corcoran, a new
edifice was built for Trinity in 1861
on the corner of Third and c streets
NV. But this building, too, was re-
moved a little over two years ago,
and the site is now a parking station.
Beecher Declined Offer.
After the Fifth street law school
building was vacated by Trinity
Church, the First Congregational
Church bought the property and
occupied it in November, 1851. after
it had been refitted. And here Henry
Ward Beecher then rising to be the
leading orator of the ministry,
preached to a crowded congrega-
tion-but declined an offer to be its
regular pastor.
The tenancy of the Congregation
alists there was brief, and in 1853
the building reverted to its original
owners and was sold for stable.
Subsequently, it became the Colum-
bian Law Building, and finally was
remodeled into an Office building
Evening star., 1940-04-07

and used as such until removed q
number Of years ago.
Across the street from where the
law school once stood, on Fifth
street, there is erected in Judiciary
Square a memorial to one of George
Washington University's ablest
graduates-Joseph James Darling
ton, who received his LIB. degree
just few hundred feet away in
1875, and who trained in his Office
many young men, graduates of the
same alma mater, later to become
foremost members of the bar.
In looking over the files of The
Star for information that might be
useful in this story one of the
commencements that attracted the
writer's attention in particular was
that OF the graduating class of 1882; !;
for here were, indeed, mentioned
many young men-some still living,
while others have passed on-whose
names still stand out as the finest
sort OF examples for the young men
OF this generation to follow as
models of honor and civic useful
ness.
Program at Theater.
This commencement, which took
place on Wednesday, June 13, was
held at the National Theater, where,
as The Star puts it: "The flower OF

Extensive Preparations Precede Commissioning of Ship

and manifold paraphernalia to be
found on a man-o-war. AS a corol-
larry, each bureau estimates the
space required for slowing the ma
terial it provides, and in due time
detailed storage plans for the ship
appear. wherein, in general terms,
the location of all the ships gear,
equipment and stores is tentatively
provided for.
When completed, the various al
lowance lists are forwarded to the
navy yard at which the ship is to
be commissioned and assembly of
the material is directed to be made.
The appropriate bureau determines
the allowance Of personnel required
by the ship. Again, experience per-
mits this to be accurately done; so
many guns Of such and such a-type,
so many men: so many boilers, re-
quire q given number of men: over
head, or "idlers" to the Navy, neces-
states q known number of men, and
so on. The same procedure applies
to estimating the number of officers
required.
During the last few months Of
the construction period, certain key
officers and men, who are to serve
on the ship, are assigned to duty at
the shipbuilding plant for the pur-
pose of becoming thoroughly ac-
quainted with the vessel. The off,
GERS so assigned almost invariably
include the captain and the execu-
tive officer. and the heads Of the
departments of gunnery, engineer
ing. navigation, construction and
supply.
In addition to becoming familiar
With the ship and it, appurtenances,
Evening star., 1940-04-07

the officers collaborate with the ex-
ecutive in drawing up the battle bill
and the watch, quarter and station
bill. These bills cover every detail
OF ship operation, and when a men,
Der OF the crew is given a watch
number, he can, by referring to the
appropriate bill, learn his assign
ment IN every item of ship duty, his
berthing space, mess, etc.
When a ship, built or refitted at
a Navy yard, or received from a pri-
vate shipyard, is being prepared to
go into commission, the comman-
dant of the Navy yard appoints a
board Of experienced officers to In
spect every part of the ship, the
machinery and the equipment. The
board reports its observations In de-
tail and whether or not the ship
is considered ready for commission
ing. The prospective captain is
furnished a copy of this report and
Is afforded the opportunity to verify
its contents and to make such other
inspections as he desires.
Come commissioning day, the Of
ficers and crew assemble on the
quarterback at the appointed time,
together with the commandant or
his representative. The latter Or
ders the national ensign to be
hoisted to the strains Of the ma
tional anthem, II a band is avail
able, and the proper insignia OF
command to be broken out at the
masthead. He then officially trans
fers the ship to the officer ordered
to command, and the latter reads
aloud his orders to that duty, as
sumes charge and causes the watch
to b Ut, thereby becoming S0spon-

sible for the safety and discipline OF
the ship. He also is required to give
the commandant a written receipt
for the ship, which must definitely
state whether or not the condition
of the vessel, as delivered, is salts
factory.
AS soon as practicable after a ship
is commissioned, or prior to that
time should there have been
an opportunity. verification of
the identity of all members
of the crew is made by board
appointed for the purpose. With .
large number of strange men, as
sembled from various other activ-
tiles, there is always the possibility
that a wrong man or the wrong
papers may have been received. Or,
in. an extreme case, an interloper
may have injected himself into the
organization. All men are checked
with their service records, and dis
crepancies, II any exist, are recti-
fed. Should there be any doubt
about q man. q fingerprint decides
the matter. However, If there be
discrepancies, they are usually mere
minor errors in the spelling OF
names, home addresses, or names
Of next of kin.
Busy days follow the commission
ing of ship. Stores, equipment and
ammunition are received on board
and slowed In their assigned places
The organization Of the crew Is per-
fected, intensive drills are held, and
every effort Is made to get the ship
to sea as quickly as possible, be-
cause there, and there only. can
the work be done which makes the
ship a e@nant unit oG the meet.
