Regular Records Kept. _The courtroom itself is a reproduc- tion of one of the chambers of the District of Columbia Supreme Court. Prof. Willett, a practicing attorney and member of the faculty, presides at the sessions of the moot court, and there is a full staff of the usual court officials, including a clerk and a. crier.

A. Judge Charles 8. Lobingier, professor of Roman and civil law at National, was the speaker. His subject was “Blending Legal Systems in the Phil- ippines.” The lecturer emphasized the fact that no lawyer could practice success- fully in the Philippine Islands unless he has not only a knowledge of Anglo- American law, but also Roman and civil law. The lawyer in the Philip- pines, Judge Lobingier said, must be a_ comparative lawyer, because in certain parts of the islands there are enforced certain principles of law found in the Mohammedan countries only. The attorney also must deal with certain principles of the old Fili- pino customary law. Five National University law grad-.. uates bave taken the Virginia bar ex amination with success. They are Harry J. Archer, C. B. Green, George Keck, W. W. Mackall and Frank M. Steadman. i/ X ‘The Indian and the Eskimo sprang from a common line of ancestry, is the conclusion of Dr. Alles Hrdlicka, who recently made explorations in Alaska. ___EDUCATIONAL.
