THE LAW SCHOOLS Interesting Exercises at the Begin- ning of the Sessions. AT COLUMBAN AND GEORGETOWN Tributes to the Memory of the Late President Welling. . MANY ADDRESSES MADE There was a large audience in the hall of the law school of the Columbian University yesterday afternoon for the opening exer- cises of the year, and a number of interest- ing addresses were made by members of the faculty of the school. Informal announce- ments were also made of the plans of work to be fcllowed in the different courses this term, and judging by the general spirit of those who were present, it is safe to say the present year will be the most prosper- ous and suce2ssful In the history of this great institution. The students who were already enrolled as well as those who ma- triculate this fall were informed that the first regular lecture would begin on Satur- day evening. The registration so far shows the names of 225 students in the junior, senior and postgraduate classes, a large number as compared with last year, but by no means as large as it will be later, when all the late comers are in. It was stated that the junior class already numbered a half hundred more than it did last year. Prominent Persons Present. On the platform were seated a number of prominent lawyers and others connected with the university, among! them Dr. S. H. Greene, pastor of Calvary Buptist Church and the acting president of the university, Justice Brewer of the United States Su- preme Court, who Is one of the lecturers of the law faculty; Justice Cox and Justice Bradley of the District Supreme Court, Mr. Harry E. Davis, Mr. William A. Mau Mr. W. G. Johnscn, Mr. William F. Mat- tingly and Mr. Robert H. Martin, the treas- urer of the university. in almost all of the speeches that were made during+ the course of the evening feeling references were made to the death of Dr. James C. Welling, the former presi- dent of the university, which occurred some weeks ago. Eloquent tributes were made to the memory of the man who for years oc- cupied the position as head of this great in- stitution of learning, and such a prominent position in the life of Washington. His character own in his public and private life, and his remarkable attainments as a scholar, were eulogized in earne: terms, and more than one of the speakers attributed a great share of the school’s suc- cess to Dr. Welling’s untiring efforts and his influence in a wide circle of business friends. Justice Cox's Address. Justice Cox, who presided over the exer- cises of the evening, delivered the first formal address, taking for his subject his own branch in the work of the school, com- mon law. Justice Cox is dean of the law faculty, and in opening his remarks he spoke feelingly of the great loss the law school had sustained in the death of the late president of the university, and he was one of those who spoke in words of highest praise of Dr. Welling’s memory. He also referred to a book which Dr. Welling was about” to ccn.plete, which contained the material of a life-time’s cvllection. Justice Cox reviewed briefly the plan of work to be followed in the school, and paying particu- lar attention to the details of his own branch. In conclusion he read a letter from Justice Harlan of the Supreme Court, who regretted his inability to be present, be- cause of judicial duties which detained him in Chicago. He stated, however, that Jus- tice.Harlan weuld continue his course of lectures this winter on the subject, of the Constitytion, and also on torts and commer- cial papers. This announcement occasioned general applause, fer Justice Harlan’s courses are among the most popular in the school. Justice Brewer's Remarks. The rext speaker of the evening was Justice Brewer, whose remarks are always sure of an attentive audience, for he is one of the brightest and wittiest talkers that ever addressed a class o# law students. He spoke last evening on the subject of “The Law of Corporations,” a subject that might be made rather dry and uninteresting, but this time it wasn’t, for he wandered around and spoke of a good many things that do rot properly come under that caption, but that amused and entertained his listeners extremely. He said that everybody was op- posed to a corporation, and so were poli- ticians. In this connection he took occasion to classify the various gentlemen about Lim on the platform, putting Mr. Mattingly under the head of a_prohibitionist, Mr. Harry Davis as a rabid republican, Mr. Maury as a populist, and Judge Cox as a champion of woman's suffrage. From little by-plays like this he wandered. into the more serious side of his talk, and spoke at some length on the subject of the law of corporations, advising the young students to pay special attention to this particular specialty, telling them that corporations were the clients who usually paid the best fees, although the juries are almost inyari- ably against them. Mr. Maury and Mr. Mattingly spoke briefly with reference to their particular subjects for the year, and were followed by Mr. Harry Davis. Mr. Davis’ Tribute to Dr. Welling. ‘The fact that it took several minutes for the applause which greeted Mr. Davis’ ap- pearance to die down sufficiently for htm to speak would seem to show that Mr. Davis is not the least popular member of the Columbian faculty. His tribute to the memory of Dr. Welling was one of the most eloquent and beautiful of the evening, for he knew the late president well, both in connection with their work at the uni- versity and in their respective homes. He then went on to tell the young men how he expected to teach them the history of law, beginning at the time when man existed in his natural state, on through the Roman law, whence he intended to show how the old English law had been brought across the water to make its home on this side of the Atlantic. Mr. Johnson, the quizmaster for the com- ing year, addressed the students with refer- ence to his plans and methods. The last formal address of the evening was delivered by Dr. Greene, who spoke of the early his- tory of the law school, which he ‘now claimed was the leading institution of its kind in Washington. He said that so long as the nation saw fit to make Washington the capital city, with the Supreme Court and its able justices, as weil as the Supreme Court of the District, whose justices were hardly less distinguished for ability, the school would have an eminent faculty that could rot be equaled. Cheers by the Students. The exercises of the evening were brought to a close with a few brief remarks by ‘Treasurer Martin, after which the students left the hall with cheers for the professors and for the university, and with three times three for the success of the Mask and Wig Club, which is at present arousing a good deal of interest among the students of the univers! Prof. Francis R. Fava, jr., held the first lecture in his class of mathematics and civil engineering last evening, where the number taking the course was double that in any previous year. It was announced in the class room that examinations for the F. A. Schmidt prize, offered for the first time this year, would be held the 16th in- stant. The subjects will be mathematics and drawing. The prize is a magnificent pair of compasses in a leather case. OLD GEORGETOWN SCHOOL. Interesting Exercises on Its 25th An- naal Inaoguration, The twenty-fifth annual session of the law school of the Georgetown University was inaugurated last evening at the law seheol building, on F between Sth and 6th streets. President J. Havens Richards, S. J.; Justices Morris and Shepard of the Dis- triet Court of Appeals, ard Messrs. R. Ross Perry, J. J. Darlingtea, Geo. A. Hamilton, T. A. Lambert and M. J. Colbert of the |}Clear N. C. Kiln-Dried Flooring, $1.75 Co. faculty occupied seats on the platform, while nearly three hundred students and friends of the university were seated in the fine lecture hall of the school. ‘The students were in a most enthusiastic mood, and the entrance of the faculty was greeted with the university and class yells, together with several minutes of plain every day cheers. It was several minutes before Mr. Hamilton could proceed with the formal announcement of the number of the prizes to be given at the close of the year. That done, he announced that Judge Morris had resigned as dean of the faculty, and that Judge Jere M. Wilson had been elected to succeed him. Judge Morriw Resignatio: Judge Morris followed Mr. Hamilton, say- ing that while he had felt it his duty to re- sign as dean of the faculty, he would not altogether desert the school, but would do all he could to make it one of the great- est in the land. As dean he had been suc- ceeded by one who was the oldest member of the faculty, and one who wou'd bring the wisdom of his years. Judge Wilson, he had pleasure in saying, would deliver his inaugurai address at 8 o'clock next Mon- day evening, when the studies of the even- ing would be omitted in honor of the oc- easion. Judge Morris explained, pleasantly, that the position of dean had been one of more dignity than labor, and then intro- ‘duced Judge Shepard, who had consented to become one of the faculty. Judge Shepard’s Salutatory. Judge Shepard was received with long- continued cheering, and began ty remark- ing that teaching law would be a novelty to him. He returaed his thanks for the cordial greeting given him, and said that while flattered, he felt cousiderable trepi- dation because of the duties he was about to assume. The fact that one is called to a judicial position does not fiaply that he has the faculty of teaching law, but he would do all that he could by hard work to succeed, and if at the end of the year, it turned out that he had been of assistance to any number of students he would feel that he had been more than successful. He imprzesed upon the students the neccs- sity of hard, unceasing work, telling them by only such means could they attain suc- cess in the study and practice of law. The law students of today, he said, enjoyed much greater facilities than did those of years ago. The terms for studying were much longer, and the text books far su- Perlor to those of past years. But study as long as thoy might, they would find that the study of law was a never cnding one. Nearly Three Hundred Studen: Prof. Daritrgton, when he stepped for- werd to make his announcements, was greeted with cheers which almost shook the building, and he remarked that there was quite a little more enthusiasm as to quantity than’ thirteen years ago, when he first appeared before the students. Then but thirty-six faced him, while tonight nearly 300 were about him. Prof. Perry was greeted with like enthusiasm, and he made a pleasant Hittle preface to his an- nouncements, remarking that the enthu- siasm and numbers of the students were matters of more than private nature. They Were matters for public congratulation, for those who had observed the events of the year realized that lew in this country was stronger today than one year ago because of the lawlessness which had been put down during the year. We are, said Mr. Perry, the slaves of law that we may be freemen. The study of law teaches that there can be but one liberty, the liberty which comes from the observance of law. Prof. Lambert spoke in a similar strain, saying when the laws of the country were neglected the liberties of its people would be lost. President Richards’ Address. After Prof. Colbert had made. his an- nour cements President Richards was called for. He welcomed the students in a pleas- ant menner, and said that while all regret- ted the retirement of Judge Morris as dean of the faculty, his successor would be most heartily welcomed. He congratulated the students upon the advantages placed be- fore them by the university, remarking that the faculty felt that they placed advantages before them second to none other. All de- pended now upon the students themselves, and he believed that they would not violate the trust imposed in them, but would go ahead to make the law school of the Georgetown University the greatest in the land, and that meant the greatest in the world. a CHARGED PERSECUTION. Officer Davall Will Have to Answer Some Questions. The Commissioners have received a peti- tion signed by twenty-four citizens in the neighborhood of 3d and 4th, K and L Streets northeast regarding the conduct of Officer B. H. Duvall of the ninth pre- cinct. The petition states that this officer has a number of times arrested persons in that vicinity without cause, ard in one instance passed through the streets firing his revolver and using profane and inde- cent language. The last offense for which he is charged was the arrest of James Mc- Dounaw, upon a charge of profanity, wnile attending a wedding, and who was conyict- ed of the offense in Judge Kimball's court. It is further claimed trat James McDou- naw requested a postponement of his case for the purpose of enzbling him to secure witnesses, and in which case he was con- tinually being persecuted by that officer. The matter has been referred to Commis- sioner Truesdeli, who will make aa investi- gation. —_—__ Died ddenly. Charles R.
