6. W. Law School
Will Start Work on
Semester Basis
Uncertainty of Plons
Of Droft-Age Students
Is Behind Change

Because of the uncertainty III the
plans Of many students due to the
national emergency and the selective
service, the George Washington
University Law School next year
will operate upon a semester basis,
rather than a yearly basis, in almost
its entire curriculum, Dean William
Y. Van Week has announced.
Final examinations will be given
IN February and June and grades
will be mailed by the registrar to
all students at the close of each
semester. Each semester's work will
be complete in itself, and with the
grade report the registrar will issue
to each student his average for that
semester.
Dean Van Week also announced
Inauguration of a new course in
aviation law, to start next year.
The course will be given by Chester
Ward, associate professor of law,
who holds reserve commission in
the United States Navy. Prof. Ward
has served several years in the
Naval AVlatlon corps.
Graduate Seminar Courses.
The graduate seminar courses also
will be operated on a semester
rather than yearly basis, Dean Van
Week said. He also announced a
change in the course not titled
Roman Law and the Principles of
the Civil Law" This course now
will be called Comparative Law"
and will deal with comparison of
this country's law with the civil law,
which is the basic law of the Central
and South American countries.
Candidates for the juris doctor de-
gree may take this course or one
of the graduate seminars.
The dean also said that students
who were forced to withdraw from
the law school in February of this
year could re-enter the courses so
dropped in the middle of the first
semester next year and continue
their studies in these subjects.
The principal schedule changes
are accomplished by the fact that
the majority of the courses now
given over the period of a year, two
lectures per week, will be given four
times weekly for one semester next
year.
Will Establish Chapter.
Phi Delta Kappa, leading national
professional educational fraternity
for men, will establish Its 39th
chapter at the university on April 80.

Professor Emeritus William Carl
Ruediger is faculty sponsor, success

taken at eye level. aften with her
camera fat against the wall, and
with full flood lights, as she is of the
opinion that the best lighting COM
binations are usually secured by this
means. That time-honored feminine
adjunct, the hairpin, she admits is
her unvarying friend and ally in all
sorts of picture taking emergencies,
having to do with holding back this
fold or that one of an obstinate
drapery, or bringing to terms a re-
fractory curtain which isn't hanging
straight.
1T simply wouldn't do for me to
have an all-around bob," she de-
clared. Then I would have no place
to store my hairpins against their
moment of need in this camera game
of mine"
We gathered, too, that all sorts of
acrobatic balancings and grotesque
positions on various kitchen steplad-
ders, sometimes a bit unsteady, are
all part of getting" the desired
interior effect.
After her college days at Smith,
Mrs. Pote, who is a native of Waco,
Tex, was student at the st. Louis
School of Fine Arts and at Cooper
Union in New York City, with spe-
cial training in costume designing
under Ethel Traphagen, famous
teacher of design. A special set Of
her costume paper dolls was sue
cessfully and remuneratively COM
mercialized while she was still an
art student.
Originated Make Of Dresses.
Before her marriage she had her
own studio and created ideas for
manufacturing and speciality shops,
originating a special make of chill
dren's dresses which became ma
tionally known. This career she put
aside upon her marriage to Horace
w. Pote, a promising engineer. With
the coming of their two children.
Hugh and Marguerite, now IA and
II, she centered her interest upon
her husband and them. Always.
though. camera, each successive
one a little better as to lens than
the one before, would accompany
the family as automatically as its
suitcases upon their various vaca-
ton trips and different changes of
environment.
Invariably, unusual interiors and
garden scenes intrigued her most.
Those of her friends and her
friends friends became her rowing
studio, as it were. Purely as a labor
of love, she was so successful in
making a series of interiors of a
nationally known girls school in
st. Louis that its principal and
alumnae insisted upon their use as
illustrative material in the schools

AS gift to the Hindman, KY,
school for mountaineer children,
Mrs. Pote portrayed its needs
through the medium of her pictures
OF the schools activities and the
makeshifts to which it was resort
ing. These pictures, used to illus
trate the Hindman School litera-
ture, have had national distribution.

From the time she was 8 years old
Mrs. Horace w. Pote, l8 Ralston
avenue, Hyattsville, Md, has had
a camera in her hand. Not until
she recently came to Washington,
however, did her camera studies
take on a professional aspect, Now
she is making profession of her
photographs of gardens and in
teriors of historic and unusual
nearby homes.
Among these are: Picturizations
of the bishops chapel in the bishops
house in the National Cathedral
Close and the homes of Miss Mary
B. Adams, Mrs. William E. Borah,
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilbur j. Carr, Gen.
and Mrs. Bradford Devore. Mr.. and
Mrs. william Chaplin Huntington.
Miss Bertha LOCKER and many other
distinguished Washington residents.
OF unusual charm, too, are her gar
den scenes at the Gibson Island
home of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. Corrin
Strong and of Mr.. and Mrs. Wade
Ellis Colonial estate, Rippon Lodge
on the Potomac. Fascinating studies
of the interiors of such historic
Alexandria homes as those of Col.
and Mrs. Charles Beatty Moore.
Associate Justice of the United
States Supreme Court and Mrs.
Hugo Black, Mrs. Frances Parkinson
Keyes and Mrs. Frank M. billiard
give back the charm of the long ago
in unusual fashion.
Slender, eager-eyed and intensely
interested in this childhood hobby
of hers which has persisted until
it has become her major interest
apart from her husband and chill
dren. she is entirely self-taught in
her picture-taking. She brings to
it. though, a highly skilled back
ground and specialized training in
design which have been of benefit
in determining composition values
and effects.
A One Woman Organization.
With regard to this avocation,
which is rapidly expanding into a
part-time vocation, Mrs. Pote says:
II am definitely a one-woman or
ganization I do all my developing
and finishing in my home. Neither
do I take helper along with me
or require any sort of special acces-
sorry equipment, except three-step
kitchen stepladder, which is almost
invariably a part of the equipment
in every household. My special plea
is always for uninterrupted time to
absorb the atmosphere of the home
I am trying to give back through
my camera before begin shooting"
When her husbands profession
brought the family to Washington,
Mrs. Pote, in her capacity as vice
chairman of the D. c. branch of the
Woman's National Party and archi-
visit for the nIter-American Com
mission of Women, made the first
pictorial records of its headquarters
at Alva Belmont House, on Mary
land avenue NE. A set of pictures
of the Congressional Club during
the presidency of Mrs. Edward H
Burke of Nebraska followed upon
the heels of this undertaking.
Among the historical picture con-
tributions which Mrs Pote has made
recently she lists as outstanding in
interest those of Kenmore House, at
Fredericksburg; the Belle Isle Gar
dens, in South Carolina, and the
homes listed in this years Alexan-
