PUBLIG 1S INVITED ' TOLEGTURE SERIES Assistant District Attorney! to Teach Introduction l to Law-Study. i A series of lectures, frée to the pub- lic, designed to serve as an introduction to the study of law, will be delivered at Columbus University, 1314 Massachu- setts avenue, each Tuesday morning from 8 to 8:40 o'clock, by Assistant Dis- trict Attorney John R. Fitzpatrick. In making this announcement yesterday, | Sefton Darr, assistant dean of the School of Law, explained that the course will embrace a consideration, in | language the layman can understand readily, of the law of Rome, the An- glo-Saxon period of English history, the | coming of the Normans, the reforms of ‘William the Conqueror, the compilation of the Doomsday Book, the origin of the Exchequer, the reign of the Plan- tagenets and other phases of English history, as well as the canon law of the church, the origin of the law mer- chants and kindred subjects. Wide Cultural Background. Fitzpatrick has a wide cultural and teaching background, Darr pointed out, adding that not only has he resided abroad during a long term of service in the Government, but has had ex- tensive experience as a public speaker and teacher. The course will consist of 16 lectures and will commence on ‘Tuesday, February 4. Unnecessary de- tail and technicalities will be avoided in the lectures, Darr said. A graduate of Columbus University's School of Law, Fitzpatrick is expected | to create interest in the course among | the student body, as well as in the general public, Darr said. It is antici- pated by the authorities of the univer- sity that a great many students will attend these lectures. One of the rea- sons for instituting this course is to ascertain if there is sufficient interest to inaugurate a morning class in addi- tion to the evening classes. Climaxing a rigorous week of midyear examinations in both the School of Law and the School of Accountancy, Colum- bus University turned last night to the festive spirit and participated in the junior prom, held as the gala affair of the season, at the Carlton Hotel.

RUSSIANS ORDERED TO HUNT DEAD FLYERS 01d Alaskan Residents Doubt That Eielson and Borland Bodies Will Be Found. By the Associated Press. NOME, Alaska, February 1.—Pilots of two Russian planes, who arrived at North' Cape, Siberia, to take more than a score of passengers off the icebound ship Stavropol, have received new orders from Moscow to proceed to the wrecked American plane, 90 miles southeast of North Cape, and to remain there until the bodies of the fiyers, Carl Ben Eiel- son and Earl Borland, have been found. All Russian dog teams in the vicinity have been commandeered, and today several were rushing supplies to a tem- porary camp at the scene of the wreck, ‘where men have been digging in ice and snow for the past week in search of the bodies. Three American pilots and the Canadian fiyer, Pat Reid, have also de- clared their intentions of remaining in Stberia until the remains of the famous Alaskan aviator and his young me- chanic are recovered. Because of wild animals in the region eand the fact that the accident occurred mearly three months ago, belief is grow- ing here among old Alaskan residents that the bodies may never be found. They are also convinced the two men could not possibly have gotten away from the wreck. Widely scattered parts of the plane indicated it crashed flying full speed.

N. U. ROLLS INDICATE CAPITAL IS TRUE EDUCATIONAL CENTER {Very Few Nations Unrepresented on Rolls of Learning Institutions Here, Officials Hold. Proof that Washington is an educa- tional center of the United States has been found in a survey just made of the student body of National University. The 1,100 men and women on that institution’s rolls include students from 47 of the States and three of the Na- tion's island possessions, Hawali, Porto Rico and the Philippines, besides, of course, hundreds of Washingtonians in attendance there. Several foreign countries, including China, Egypt, Pal- estine and Guatemala, also are rep- resented. A similar survey of all the institutions of higher learning here, National University officials believe, would leave very few of the world countries unrepresented in the student population of the Capital. “The present steady growth of Wash- ington means an increase of educa- tional facilities and the attracting of an even greater attendance from the United States at large and foreign countries than has been evidenced in past years,” Dr. Charles F. Carusi, chancellor of National and president of the District of Columbia Board of Edu- cation, said late yesterday. Continuing he asserted: Washington Ranks High. “Washington rapidly is becoming a world center of education to which is flowing a steady stream ®of persons of all races who seek to use the unusual educational facilities offered in this city. Our Capital certainly can be ranked with the oldest of foreign capitals where custom and tradition has created an educational atmosphere of profound study. Besides the titutions of schooling here, which Dr. Carusi includes among Wi n’s “educational facilities,” he referred to the scores of Federal institutions whose libraries, archives and exhibits are available to students for the askin, g.
