As a member of the Association of American Law Schools, it has sub' scribed to the higher standards called for by the rules of said associaf tion, as Well as by the recommendations of the American Bar Association It is gratifying to know that during the past year both the Executive Com mittee of the Association of American L Legal Education of the American Bar Association have seen fit to complif t h l men our sc oo on the careful manner in which you have been enforcing the rules of the association . n 1 aw Schools and the Council on But while the School of Law has been making every effort to raise the standards of legal education in Missouri, the legislature of our state lends no encouragement. Un the contrary it has taken a very indifferent, ifinot hostile, attitude towards every proposal for raising the present law require' ments for admission to our bar. Let us hope that the force of public opinion will soon b ' b ' ring a out a change of attitude on the part of the legislature. ALPHONSE G. EBBRLE.

Units, Medical and Dental of St. Louis University, have enjoyed a very successful year. The instructors in Military 'Science and Tactics desire to thank the President of the University, the Regent of the Medical and Dental Schools, the Deans, all other members of the Faculty and the entire student body for their sincere cooperation. Major Clarence E. Lauderdale returned to the inactive list during the past year, and Major George R. Tressel, Dental Corps, U. S. Army, became Professor of' Military Science and Tactics of the School of Dentistry. On Armistice Day, 1926, St. Louis University presented the National and School Colors to the R. O. T. C. Units at a patriotic ceremony on the University Campus. ' The War Department has this year commissioned forty C4Oj Medical and thirtyfeight 138D Dental graduates of the University as First Lieutenants in the Cfficers' Reserve Corps. These men are fully qualified and ready to do their duty when called upon in an emergency. St. Louis University again takes the lead among the Medical and Dental Units throughout the country, and is always ready to combat the insidious forces which are working to make this a defenseless country, upon which the rest of the world might easily prey.

0 School of Low r X ijiggT 'Wwo L1NUs LILLY, S. j. Regent CW as never before the world needs lawyers of high character and hrst class ability. A lawyer should be more than a paid advocate, more than a professional counsellor. He is a public oflicial charged with a sacred duty in the impartial administration of justice. In the St. Louis University School of Law, the student receives instruction in Christian ethics and natural law, which are and must ever be the foundaf tions of his legal studies. The greatest lawyers of all ages, Cicero, Papinian, Lord Mansfield, and our own great Marshall being notable examples, have repeatedly acknowledged that the basis of the law is essentially ethical. This emphasis upon the notions of Christian ethics is of incalculable value to the student. This is but an application of a well established principle, as true in the study of the law as in the pursuit of any other science, that it is better to explore the sources of a stream than to lose one's self in the windings of its branches. Melius est petere fontes quam sectari rivulosf' One who begins and continues his legal studies without a good foundation in ethics is apt to find the science of the law what a great poet called it, a codeless myriad of precedent and a wilderness of single instances. i LINUS LILLY, S.
