THE SI-IXIORS. SPEECH CLASSES Mr. William J. Miller. who so successfully conducted the classes in Speech in the Junior College last year, is again giv- ing his work for the bent-lit of the students at the Law School. l'he classes are held at vari- ous hours convenient to those taking the course, the students' convenience and their personal needs being Mr. Millcr's p1'i- mary considerations in fixing the hour. The classes are ar- ranged according to the meu's aptltudes and previous training and special work is given those desiring: it. It would be surplusage to elaborate on the value of such a training to the law student, but it is urged that those who have not registered do so and at once, either with Mr. Miller or at the otiice of the College. 1926 CHANGES IN CURRIC- ULUM AND FACULTY Freshman Year Profcssor Tupes replaces l'ro- fessor Pringle as instructor in Torts.

! t 1 rDAN?611ufr - Basket Ball ENT'S basket ball team during the current school year played the heaviest schedule thus far attempted since the organization of our Athletic De- partment. Although the boys received several heartbreaking defeats, they fought gamely and were rewarded for their persistence by draughts from the cup of Victory during the middle and latter part of the season. Edwin H. Felt and Morris Haft managed and coached the team and ar- ranged .the games, which included: Northwestern College of Naperville Lewis Institute Y. M. C. A. College Northern Illinois State Teachers College Aurora College Olivet Institute Lyola University Crane junior College North Park College The tide was turned with the Aurora game in which Kent vanquished the foe by a score of thirty to twenty-one and from that point on the Kent boys came into their own and won the majority of the games. The line up was composed of Freed, Lidchen, Wood and Kargman, veterans of last year's battles, and Ostram, Seidman, Miller, Rosenblatt and Lazar who made their first appearance on the floor for Kent this year. l Captain Dave Freed led the team from his position as center and proved that he had lost none of his skill at dribbling, passing and side stepping. VVallace I. Kargman played right forward and his remarkable speed caused our opponents no end of worry. Max Lidchen played opposite Kargman and scored more points than any other man on the team. I Eugene Vtiood, as guard, displayed remarkable ability in feeding the ball to other players while on the run. Emanuel Ustram acted in the capacity ot the other guard. Arthur T. Seidman, Meyer Miller, Aaron Lazar, and Samuel Rosenblatt composed the remainder of the squad. Ordinarily a law school, and especially a night law school, is not expected to produce much in the way of athletics. However, the accomplishments of the basketball team proves that athletics need not be absent from our activities. Z: 93 K-,,. 2195? .,. Q.: 'N Pu IXJ JN ., ,xl

! t 1 r12AN?'6D1pr o HAROLD T. HUBER PAUL E- COLLINS Editor Business lllunagcr The Review Ne September the Review entered upon its second year. The Staif was capably headed by I-larold T. Huber, Editor, and Paul E, Collins, Business Manager. . The issues of the Review were divided in their subject matter, the alternate issues being devoted to matter which was of particular interest to the alumnae. The alumnae issues were sent to over three thousand Kent Graduates as well as being distributed among the student body. The regular school issues have been of keen interest to the students of the College and the Editor' is to be con- gratulated on the newsy and interesting material with which he has filled the publication each month. Among the noteworthy inovations has been the 'KVOX Studia co.lu1nn in which has appeared from time to time the opinions of Kent students on various topics, and the Second Floor Rear , which has served, we suspect, as a vehicle for many of the Editor's thoughts on school matters written under the name of Andy's Voice. Due to the fact that we have no campus, and therefore cannot live on it, Chicago Kent cannot be said to have a campus opinion and the Review aids this situation in that it serves as a medium for bringing together things of interest in such form that they can be disbursed to the entire student body. We take great pride in' our school paper as published during the last year, for each issue has brought before us all of the current school events and im- pressed us with our school's many and diversified activities. The write-ups have been good and the Editor has given the Review peculiar interest because of his inimitable style and philosophic point of view. 97 21926 g
