PRIZES.

The Ordronaux Prize Scholarship.-In accordance with the action taken by the Board of Trustees there shall be substituted for the University Prizes of $40, $30, and $20 in cash heretofore offered a prize scholarship, to be known as "The Ordronaux Prize Scholarship," to be awarded to that member of the Second Year Class taking the regular course, whether forenoon or afternoon, who shall during his first and second years have attained the highest average grade. In determining the average grade of contestants the grade received in each subject shall be multiplied by the number of hours given to such subject and the sum of the results divided by the total number of hours. The recipient of this prize scholarship shall be entitled to receive credit for all tuition fees in his third year. Library and diploma fees will remain payable. The award of this scholarship is purely personal and will not be commuted to a cash payment, nor will it be transferable. The recipient of the scholarship shall be entitled to make use of the scholarship during the session next succeeding its award or during any session thereafter.

Edward Thompson Company Prize.-A prize offered by the Edward Thompson Company of a set of the Encyclopædia of Law, first or second edition, or a set of the Encyclopædia of Pleading and Practice, is awarded each year to the senior law student who shall write the best essay on some legal subject to be assigned by the Faculty. This prize will not be awarded, however, if the essays submitted do not possess sufficient merit.

Ellsworth Prize.-A prize of $25 in gold, offered by Mr. Fritz von Briesen, called the "Ellsworth Prize," is awarded for the best work done in the Patent Law Course by a student receiving the degree of Master of Patent Laws.

PUBLIC SPEAKING.

Excellent facilities for training in the art of public speaking are afforded by the two debating societies that have been organized in the Department of Law. These societies, known as the Columbian and

Needham Debating Societies, meet weekly for debate. Membership in these societies is entirely optional, but their work is encouraged in every legitimate way by the Faculty, and students are urgently advised to take part in their exercises. During each academic year several intercollegiate debates are held. Membership upon the intercollegiate debating teams is an honor eagerly sought and made the prize to be won in separate preliminary contests. The general conduct of these intercollegiate debates is under the supervision of a committee from the Faculty.

ADMISSION TO THE BAR OF THE DISTRICT OF
