C., in 1891, and attented the pub- lic schools in this city. Re- ceiving his Master’s degree from Na- tional University Law School, he was admitted to the District of Columbia Bar in 1913, and has been engaged in the general practice of law contin- uously since that time. Professor Bastain has been a valued member of the Faculty of National University since 1916, as lecturer on Black- stone’s Commentaries and as Profes- sor of Elementary Law and Surety- ship. He has shown marked ability as an instructor, and puts a degree of force into his lectures which impress- es them well into the minds of his hearers, with whom he is very popular. RUSSELL P. BELLEW, LL.B. Clerk of all Moot Courts R. BELLEW is the genial and efficient Clerk of all the Moot Courts held in National Uni- versity Law School, in which capacity he has served for several years. He is a native of the State of Virginia, and often visits his old home, near the Shenandoah River, where he indulges in his favorite sport of angling. Mr. Bellew served as Marriage License Clerk for the District of Columbia for a number of years. In 1916 he was appointed Clerk of Equity Court Number One, of the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia. His daily experience in this work, together with his natural ability, has enabled Mr. Bellew to perform his duties as Clerk of the Moot Courts of National University efficiently and with promptitude. Graciously assisting the embryo lawyers through the treacherous mazes of their practice court work, Mr. Bellew has thereby added to his already long list of friends the entire personnel of the 1925 graduating class. We shall not feel entirely among strangers if some real case should bring us into Equity Number One.
