$ortta Halo Club IN THE year 1917 the four young women students then attending Temple Law School decided they needed an organization which would draw them into closer social contact with entering students. Later they conceived as a further aim the promotion of interest in law among women generally. It was for these purposes that Mary Wilkins Hitchcock, Joan Kenworth, Sapphira Mc- C.laren and Mav Rutherford founded the Portia Law Club. To render assistance to new students they made membership in the Club open to all women students. By a series of short talks on the legal profession, delivered at various high schools in Philadelphia, the members aroused interest in the law as a profession for women. Several moot court trials were also held by the Club. The “Honor Roll,” containing the names of students and alumni of Temple Law School who participated in the World War, was presented to the school by the Portia Club and is convincing proof of the members’ interest in the school, aside from the services rendered to women students.
