University. There is no call for the presence of three publications, and no excuse for it except factional feeling. There should be one Annual, representative of the entire University, and supported by the entire University. Equal representation on the Board can easily be secured to each of the elements now represented respect- ively by the Pa!!m1'z'11111, Cwflffllflillll and RES GESTAE. The result would bean Annual second to none in the country. We believe the sentiment of the student body is strongly in favor of consolida- tion, and hope to see it soon carried into effect. 714 , No'1'i-imc: is the source of greater pride to the members of '96 than the position in the athletics of the University which the Class has held during its entire career. Gur standing has been due in the main to the efforts of a few men of exceptional athletic ability. They labored throughout their two years inthe Department that we of humbler brawn might glory. It is but justice that We as a class now acknowledge the efforts of such men as Shields, Bloom- ingston, Villa, Hollister, Denby and Martin, and congratulate them and ourselves upon the glorious career of '96 in athletics. all Pls Pk 'l'1-11-1 burden of upholding the honor of Michigan in debate and oratory has, this year as usual, fallen upon the Law Department. ln the former held, through the efforts of Messrs. Vert, Block and Albright, the lirst debate with Chicago University has been placed to our credit, and we shall look with confidence to see another victory added by Mr. Ingraham to the long list of Michiganfs victories in the Northern Oratorical League. Pk PK Pk THE RES GESTAE desires to make the following announcements and acknowledgments: , . . The prize of SIS for the best short story is awarded to 'Miss Maude Elaine Caldwell. The members of the Board Wish to thank all who by their con- tributions and interest have so greatly aided in the preparation of this volume.

C Summ r Law School HE Summer Law School of the University of Q 5 q 1 - i . I K K' 1' ' -K Michigan was organized, one an year ago. Its fy . Q sag-, s, founders were Messrs. Dwyer, Hughes and 7.31 'A Smith. It was undertaken as an experiment .- , K 4 ' ' and became at once an unqualined success. Its JV- - 'SQL object primarily was one of review, but the subjects were so treated that beginners were enabled to lay a solid foundation for systematic future study, and students who desired a knowledge of certain legal subjeets as a part of a liberal education, found a golden opportunity to meet their needs. During the first year of its career three courses of instruction were offereil. Course I., given by Mr. Smith, on the subject of lilementary Law, embraced a study of the fundamental legal ideas, and an outline of the American legal system. Course II., given by Mr. Dwyer, on the subject of Constitutional Law, involved a study of the nature of constitutions in general, togethcrzwith a more thorough discussion of the Federal Constitution. Course III., given by Mr. Hughes, on Practical Business Law and the Law of Domestic Relations, was an eminently practical one and proved to be very popular. j -- The attendance, during the initial year of its history, exceeded the most sanguine expectations. It was thought if each class should have half a dozen students there would be cause for rejoic- ing, but some of the classes had three times that number. In order to meet the urgent desires of the students, a Practice Court was established. It was organized and conducted by Mr. Hughes, and was one of the most popular features of the Summer School. A
