His duties are voluminous indeed in looking after the interests and wel- fare of so large a student body, yet he also finds time to engage in the general practice of law. We have found him genial, courte- ous and a good friend. LOUIS A. DENT, LL.M.

He graduated from Purdue University in 1892, and later received the degree of LL.M. from Columbian (now George Washing- ton) University.

A number of years ago he was appointed an examiner in the United States Patent Office, and became Examiner- in-Chief in 1916. Professor Fouts became a member of the Faculty of National University several years ago, as Professor of Patent Law and Practice. The ease with which he expounds this highly technical and exceedingly difficult subject shows Professor Fouts is a man of long years of experience in actual practice, one who is thor- oughly familiar with every phase of his subject. National is fortunate in securing the services of Professor Fouts, and National ' s students are doubly fortunate in having this course made so very interesting and instructive. CHARLES L.
