The Law School. — Since the statistics of the School below were prepared the registration in the School has passed four hundred and risen to four hundred and two by the addition of one to the third-year and two to the first-year class. Of the first-year men, one is a graduate of Harvard and one of De Pauw, the latter bringing the number of col- leges other than Harvard represented in that class up to fifty-one. It is just five years since the Review had the pleasure of announcing that the registration had passed two hundred and fifty, and now the School is more than half as large again as it was then. In the last number it was said that the returns showed a most gratify- ing increase in the numbers of the School. More than this, it now ap- pears that the School as a whole, and each class, is larger than ever before. The following figures show the total registration at this time of year for six successive years : — 1889-90 1890-91 1891-92 1892-93 1893-94 1894- Third year. Second year. First year. .

In the first place the number of specials is less than one fifth of the number of two years ago. This may be partly accounted for by the fact that the privileges of specials under the future order of things do not seem to be clearly or widely understood. A special has, and will have, every privilege of the School in as full a respect as a regular student, with the single exception that he must in the future attain creditable standing in order to get his LL B. ; and he is not and will not be called upon to take more than the present admission examinations. One would think.
