The Second Annual Announcement of the institution has just been issued, and a glance at its contents shows that the excellent reputation acquired last year will not be allowed to wane. The Faculty will this year consist of seven members, instead of three, the time has been lengthened from six to eight weeks, the scope of subjects has been materially broadened, and the School made permanent by the Board of Regents. The seven gentlemen comprising the Faculty are Professors Thompson, Knowlton and Wilgus, and Messrs. johnson, Dwyer, Hughes and Smith. A There will be twopcourses of instruction, each of one hundred and twenty-five hours, and' embracing, in all, seventeen subjects. Course I. will include the first-year subjects, and Course the second-year subjects of the University year. This will give each student, who takes a full course, three hours of class-room work per day during the eight weeks. Prof. Thompson will deliver two courses of lectures, of hfteen hours each, on the subjects of Equity jurisprudence, and Real Property, Fixtures, etc. Prof. Knowlton will give ten lectures on Bailments and Carriers, and a course in,Contracts of twenty hours. Prof. Wilgus conducts a course of twenty hours in Torts, using Cooley on Torts as a text. Mr. johnson gives three courses, one of fifteen hours in ElementaryaReal Property, based upon the sec- ond book of Blackstone, a ten hour course on Commercial Law, and one of fifteen hours in Bills and Notes. Mr. Dwyer offers two courses in Pleading- one of fifteen hours, in Common Law Plead- ing, and one of ten hours in Equity Pleading, and fifteen hours, quiz on Constitutional Law. Mr. Hughes gives ten lectures in Partnership, and fifteen hour courses each in Domestic Relations and Evidence. Mr. Smith will give fifteen hour courses in Ele- mentary Law and Personal Property, and a ten hour course in Agency. The Practice Court work will be continued and enlarged. Last year the school was an experiment and its scope was nec- essarily limited. This year it is an assured success. The Faculty is composed of the regular professors and instructors in the Uni- versity Law School, and the courses will in many respects be almggt identical with those offered in the regular curriculum. Such a chance for improving the idle summer months is rarely H. R. M. offered. T7

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
