Georgetown u. Law School
Opens 73d Session Tomorrow
Students May Finish Requirements
For Degree in Two or Three Years

Georgetown University School of
Law, opening its 73d session to-
morrow, remains one of the few
law schools of the country that has
refralned from lowering its ad-
mission requirement for a college
degree for the duration of the war.
Like most other schools, how
ever, students may now take up the
study of law at Georgetown on an
accelerated basis that permits them
TO complete work toward a degree
IN two or three academic years,
depending on whether they are
full time or part-time students.
This acceleration is entirely op-
tional, since those who are certain
of non-interruption of studies may
take an additional year to complete
the course.
All courses at Georgetown Law
School are arranged on a semester
basis, so that work in each course
may be concluded in one-half year.
For this reason also students may
enter the school for the first time
at the start of the second semester
on February ], 1943 The regis
trar's office remains open six days
IN the week for the benefit of those
who wish to consult about starting
their law work in the winter.
Graduate Course Featured.
Special interest is being taken
in the graduate course, which is
organized as a study of the work
Of the Federal Government CEN
tered in Washington. The national
emergency has brought many law
yerS to Washington and the work
of the graduate course offers such
men an excellent opportunity to
round out their undergraduate
study and to attain advanced de-
greeS in law. The course allows
for intensive research in the scope
and functions Of those agencies of
the Government especially with
which lawyers have to deal.
The new accelerated program at
Georgetown fully meets all require
ments of the various accrediting
agencies for law schools. In fact,
Georgetown Law School is ap-
proved by the American Bar Asso-
citation, is a member of the As
sociation of American Law Schools
and is accredited, by the New York
State regents.
Students entering the school are
required to have a bachelor of arts
degree or equivalent college degree.
based on four-year course. The
so-called combination degree"
recognized by some law schools, is
not accepted at Georgetown. This
means that the school has been
able to maintain its work on a
high basis despite the war.
Notable Law Library.
The American Bar Association
and the Association of American
Law Schools have recognized that
certain minor concessions may be
made in view of the war. However,

they have urged all law schools to
maintain high standards of legal
education and not to lower require
ments for admission below TWO years
OF college work. which is the mini
mum requirement of the two asso-
Citations for approved law schools.
The regent of the Georgetown
Law School is the Rev. Francis E
Lucey, S. j., Phi. D., LII. B., and the
dean is George E. Hamilton, M. A.,
LII. D., j. U. D Under their direc-
ton in recent years, the law school
has made great strides in standards
of scholarship The advancement
OF the graduate course has been
especially emphasized.
The law library is one of the larg-
est and best equipped in this sec
ton. Scholars have frequently
consulted it for books not to be
found elsewhere. The library has
specialized in legal periodicals, of
which it has a superb set, and in
STATUTORY materials and reports of
cases and arguments before the
various administrative tribunals of
the Government. The library con-
tains more than 81, 500 books.
Two OF the most popular courses
at Georgetown this year deal with
military law. Lectures in this sub
ject are being given by Col. F. Gran
Vile MunSon and Col. Ernest M,
Brannon, both of whom are in the
Office OF the Judge Advocate Cen
eral OF the Army. Another new
course in comparative law which is
attracting considerable attention is
being given by Prof Heinrich Kron-

GWU Concentrates on
Inter-American Relations

Under the direction of it's Inter-
American Center, George Washing
ton University is again emphasizing
this year the study of inter-Amer-
ican relations and is offering a
broad program of courses covering
all phases of that study.
When the university opens its
122d year September %, students
of Latin America and of Pan Ameri-
can relations will be able to take
beginning and advanced courses in
Spanish and Portuguese, in the
literature of Latin America, and in
the history and problems of the
southern republics.
Registration for the fall term for
regular students will be held Sep
tember "a through September 26.

10 Public Schools
In Alexandria Open
With $500 Students
Teacher Staff Enlarged; ;
1t. Col. 6. A. Patrick
Directs Codet Corps

Alexandria's 10 public schools
opened for the 1942-43 year with
an approximate enrolment of $500.
A staff of 220 teachers, 10 more than
last year, has been engaged, and
will be increased when the new
Janney's Lane School is completed
later in the year.
The city has six elementary and
one high school for white children
and three schools for coolred chill
dren, one of which includes high
school classes. The new school.
being built by the Federal Works
Agency will take care of children
of defense workers living in the
Chinquapin Village and Cameron
Valley Homes housing developments
1t will be an eight-room elementary
school.
The existing school buildings have
been enlarged by the addition of 10
rooms--six at George Mason, six at
Mount Vernon, three at Maury and
four at ParkerG Grey, one of the
colored schools.
New Commercial Courses.
T. c. Williams, superintendent of
schools, has announced new COM
mercial courses including typing
shorthand and bookkeeping at the
Parker-Grey School. Shop work will
also be emphasized at that school,
and new machinery has been added
to the equipment.
The George Washington High
School machine shop has been very
popular since it's construction in
1888 and this year a general shop
course will be given as a preliminary
to the unit shop classes. Girls as
well as boys will be enrolled in this
course and it is likely that they
work later.
More machinery is being added to
the George Washington shop, which
is uesed throughout the year for
adult defense classes at night.
Many workers have been trained for
jobs in the Naval Torpedo Station
and other technical jobs at the
shop, and six classes are planned
for the coming season.
Spanish Teacher Added.
Mr.. Williams announced that the
great demand for Spanish classes
in the high school has nj cessitated
adding a second Spanish teacher to
the staff.
Renewed interest in the George
Washington High School Cadet
Corps is expected, because of the
announcement that the corps will
be directed by 1t. Col George A.
Patrick, retired Army officer. Al
though the rifles of the corps were
turned in to the Government, re-
placement with dummy rifles has
been promised.
About 200 boys and 81 Is wear the
uniform of the cadet corps, and the
value of its training is proven by
the fact that several of it's gradu-
ates have been accepted in officers
training because of the foundation
work they received at school. The
prospect of being accepted as men,
bers of the WAACS is expected to
lure more girls to the corps.

addresses by outstanding men IN
inter- American affairs. The center
sponsors also a conference on Pan

tween representatives of business
organizations and Government de-
partments, a weekly broadcast in

America, and a series of lectures
on Pan American subjects through
out the city.
