Willlam Cogger has been added to the faculty of the school of law in order to emduc‘: Federal taxation, which will begin the firet week in October and con- tinue through the academic year. A newspaper qman for 30 vears, Cog- ger entered the Government serv- ice in 1920, when he was employed by the Bureau of Internal Revenue. ‘The years spent H. H. Nemt, B0 e Gaparts ment and his more recent experience as a specialist in tax cases have pro- vided Cogger with an excellent founda- tion on which to base his new course at the university. In addition to his position in Catholic University School of Law, Cogger is also associated with John E. Hughes. Expects Bigger Enroliment. DR4 CHARLES PERGLER, dean of National University Law School, yesterday announced the completion of faculty changes made necessary by- the death last Summer of Dr. Hayden Johnson, former dean.

Other changes in the curriculum include the extension of Dean Perg- ler's course in constitutional law to two terms and the addition of a course in code pleading under Associate Jus- tice Oscar Luhring of the U. S. Dis- trict Court. This course is designed to meet impending changes in the rules of practice and procedure here. Dean Eugene Carusi of the School of Economics and Government an- nounced that more advanced students in that branch of the university may be assigned to the Law School for the study of various branches of pub- lic law such as international law, con- stitutional law, Federal Trade Com- mission law, etc. This school offers the degree of bachelor of arts and master of arts, Credit Union Course.

POSITIONS FOR GRADUATES DISTRICT CANDIDATES “ JUNY CITIZEN of the United States, who meets the re- quirements, may take the District C. P. A exam- inations. Consequently, the successful candidates in the 1936 examination included a number who had received their basic training in various states. Of those who received their basic accountancy school training in the District and passed the examination more than half were Benjamin Franklin graduates. Excellent though the record of our school has been in C. P. A. examinations, we do not deem them to be the sole test of the standing of any school. Records of certain institutions; which are acknowledged leaders in advanced business education, show that only a small portion of their graduates have taken these examina- tions. This is largely due to the fact that about 85% of all accountancy school graduates (including honor graduates) never enter the field of public practice and do not take the C. P. A. examinations. This school offers a course which includes public accounting and all the other principal fields of account- ancy. Besides public accountants, our veteran faculty consists of tax specialists, Government officials, cost ac- countants, business executives, and men whose experi- ence covers the entire scope of modern accountancy.
