THE GREEN BAG

Law Schools willing to do their part in promoting a scientific legal education. The schools should teach First, the law as we have it, that is to say as it is actually administered in our courts of justice; Secondly, the nature of the defects dis covered in the connection between the law as it is and the theory of rights, together

with the duty of earnest, persistent endeavor to bring about a full conformity of the law to the actual affairs of life; Thirdly, a substantial acquaintance with subjects related to the law, including the sources of the same, with a view to broad ening the student's intelligence. MELVILLE M. BIGELOW. BOSTON, MASS., Sept., 1904.

TO WIT, TO WOO A LAW PILL once a -wooing went, With his said and aforesaid and much ado; A Law Pill once a-wooing went, Through a thick black wood of large extent Where the owls their full-voiced chorus lent, "To wit, to woo." The Law Pill smiled with a vague unrest, With his said and aforesaid and much ado; The Law Pill smiled with a vague unrest. But boldly he spoke, "Aye, hoot your best, For I am on a merry quest, To wit, to woo." — Harvard Lampoon.
