394 Washington City, and held for several years an important and responsible position as one of the commissioners of that city; John F. Duncombe, who has been for many years a member of the Board of Regents; and Joe A. Edwards and George W. Ball, both graduates of the Department. L. G. Kinne, LL.B., a graduate of the Law Department of the University of Michigan, and late district judge in this State, has been secured to deliver a course of lectures on "Taxation and Tax Titles." Judge Kinne is favorably known to the legal profession in Iowa, not only by his work on the bench, but also as the author of a treatise on "Pleading and Practice in Law and Equity, with Forms."

The success of the School has been due, not only to the conscientious labors of this body of instructors, but also in large measure to the indorsement which it has received by reason of the success of its graduates and their cordial support. Over thirteen hundred alumni of this department are scattered through the West, more than two thirds of them at present engaged in the practice of law. They fill many judicial positions,—one being chief-justice of a western State, nine of them district judges in this State, and many of them county attorneys, county judges, State officers, legislators and members of constitutional conventions in this and other States. With the support of this large and influential body of men, and the growing favor of the State Bar, which is becoming more fully alive to the advantages of law-school study, and provided with a Faculty of earnest men, most of whom are entirely devoted to the work of the School, this department has fair and encouraging prospects of steady and satisfactory growth and extended usefulness.
