At the present time, under Dean J. Freeman Pyle and his competent staff it continues to carry forward this work, so striving to train its students that they may go forth into the field of business to act as leaders; striving to instill in its graduates those qualities of leadership which will enable them not only to follow the precepts and ethics of the profession as already established, but to courageously endeavor to raise the standards and practices of their field through the intelligent application of the knowledge they have acquired and the use of scientific research. To attain this aim of leadership, the College presents not only a complete training in the fields of marketing, accounting, statistics, banking and finance, personnel administration, real estate, and commercial teaching, but supplc- ■ Educatori rtonomiiti and huunen exttnlirti tompoir iht fatuity of tht Collet of Bniintn AJminnlration.

and District courts of Milwaukee county, are within a short walking distance. ■ A quarterly publication, the Marquette Law Review, should also be numbered among the consequential activities of the Law school. Although its primary purpose is to bind a tighter knot between alumni and the undergraduates, this magazine aims to serve the members of the bar by the publication of timely articles of inter est to those who profess the legal faith. The Review this last year was edited by Robert Hansen, and Richard F. Mooney. The administrative officers of the School include the Rev. Hugh B. MacMahon, S.J., A.M.. Regent of the School; Clifton Williams, LL.B.. Dean; Willis E. Lang, Litt.B., L.L.B., Secretary of the Law Faculty. The Marquette law library, situated on the third floor of the west wing of the Law building is the largest library in Milwaukee although its ■ Lor II 'till out of ibt mo ft popular four in amoog tht malt 11»Jruti of lbt Umirenily, un rrtbtlttl eafb Jtar totJi moll m ibt St bool. shelves are but half tilled. It has a capacity of 50,000 volumes and now contains the English State Trials, Common Law reports, English reports, the reports of the Supreme Court of the United States, and of inferior Federal Courts, reports of most of the states, the complete National Reporter System together with statutes and digests of various states, general digests and sets of the leading and annotated cases. The library was centralized and made available to students when the School was erected in 1924. During the past year the library received donations of books from Attorneys Duane Mowry, Harvey L. Ncclcn and Lubin A. Pelkey. William Mariner and William Tibbs in the past have been the largest donors to the library. Gerald Flynn, a senior law student was in charge of the library during the past scholastic year, as head librarian, assisted by Gerard Paradowski, a junior. The library reading room, Grim-mclsman Memorial Hall, patterned after the more famous English legal halls, was built through a donation of Mrs. Harriet L. Cramer in 1924. It is named in honor of the Rev. James Grimmelsman, S.J., first regent of the Marquette School of Law. Class presidents for the year were: Rudolph A. Schoenecker, senior; Frank J.

Through these meetings the students have an opportunity to acquire practical knowledge along with the theory of the classroom. Meet- ings are held twice a month. During the past year William D. Murphy, senior in the College, has served as president. Among the speakers who have recently appeared before the club arc: Harry Hoffman, president of the Milwaukee Advertising club; Whitney Eastman, recently elected president of the Milwaukee Association of Commerce; and Edward A. Filene, president of William Filene and Sons of Boston. ■ Another activity, which encourages closer relationship among the students and also a closer contact with business men, is the bi-annual publication of the Business Ad. Digest” sponsored by the Commerce club. This paper, edited the past year by Orlando Strobel and a selected staff reviews the activities and accomplishments of the College each semester. The January number of the Digest presented for the first time the Beta-Graph. This graph, a research study of the Beta Chapter of Beta Gamma Sigma, the national honorary commerce fraternity of the College, showed the trend of Milwaukee business as compared to that of the United States as a whole. Subsequent issues of the Digest will revise and keep the graph up to date. Besides the honorary fraternity, there arc two international professional commerce fraternities in the College: Delta Sigma Pi and Alpha Kappa Psi. The class presidents for the past year were: sen'or, William E. Monroe; junior, James Fen-Ion; sophomore, Irwin Saager; freshman, Robert Jacobs. 1 9 Pace
