Orders for workers in the Water
bury area have increased since
Monday, when the new sterilization
plan took effect, and many eXcep-
lions to the rules have been sought
by employers, it was reported today.
War Manpower and U. S. Employ
ment Service officials stated the
current situation was anticipated,
and many of the problems in the
early operation of the plan will -
cleared as it continues in effect.
Approximately 20 employers have
requested to be excepted from the

Most of the plants in the Water

CORNELL GETS
| LAW LECTURES
Century and Half Old Sc
Features OratiOns Of
LitchfeId Man

Ithaca, N. r., May 3-A set "a
Lectures on Law" nearly q century
and a half old and Important a.
part Of the history Of legal educa~
ton in the United States, has come
into the possession Of the CoEneM
Law school.
The lectures, comprising 476 pages
Of notes, are In the handwriting u
law student named Samuel
Church, whose great great grand@
son, Albert Church Blunt, Jr., Of
West Newton, Mass. made the gift.
Mr.. Blunt Is q Cornell graduate re-
ceiving the mechanical endfngeer~
ing degree in 1907.
The handwriting Of Samuel
Church, in taking down the lectures
delivered in 1906 by Tapping Reeve,
is as legible as the ink is i1delible
and the paper irnperishable. The
lecture notes are bound IN solid
leather opening with Municipal
Law" is distinguished from 'sThe
Law Of Nature" the Divine or Re-
vealed Law" the Law Of Nations"
Reeve, the lecturer, was proprietor
Of the famous school at Litchfield,
Conn.,, one of the pioneers among
law schools. It was q link between
the ancient apprenticeship way Of
learning law and the modern law
school attached to a university. The
school started in 1884 and its first
student seems to have been Reeves
brother-in-law, Aaron Burr.
BY 1889 there were so many stu
dents that Reeve found an assistant
James Gould, who succeeded him "a
head Of the school in 1920. "By
1885," says Prof. G. II. Robinson IN
the Cornell Law Quarterly, ''thf
trend toward formal legal educatinS
had made such gains that Gould
closed the doors at Litchfleld." II
Gould's time, John G. Calhoun arle
Horace Mann were among the stu
dents.
Two-fifths Of the volume Of leo
lures are on "Real Property" Sam
uel Church wasted no time drawing
girls faces on caricatures Of thi
professor; the 1906 notes are all sole
meat, dealing with such problemG
as husband and wife, parent and
child, guardian and ward, masteA
and servant, sheriffs, and eiectment.
Discussing the volume, Processes
Robinson said: Whether this ma
terial was all that Reeve offered, Or
whether 1t was simply all that
Church was content with, canont bs
said. If 1t was all that Reeve gavs
-. 1t Is a far cry indeed from
the vast quantum :. which the
modern law school seeks to stun
into the student before it feels he
can be trusted to 60 forth and slay
lions"
Young Church did well enough,
however, He was graduated from
Yale in 1908, went to study with
Reeve in 1905, and was admitted to
the Connecticut bar the same year.
He was in the General Assembly by
1920, q probate judge in 1921 and
state senator in 1924. An associate
Judge Of the supreme court by 1882,
he was its chief Judge in 1047.
| The Cornell Law school regards
the gift Of the lecture series as "a
vivid monument Of early legal edu-
cation" and has placed the volume
where 1t will be q treasured show
piece for other young people start
ing in law.
Another descendant Of Chief
Judge Samuel Church, Irving, took
his C. E. degree at Cornell, in 1873,
and for more than so years was q
member Of the Cornell civil engi-
neering faculty.

Although reliably stated that Pa

Delay in appointing these latter

are three vacancies in the latetr
