Forensics.

JUNIOR.As a basis for the examination in forensics, juniors will be required to send to Mr. Connate on or before June 1 three topics, accompanied by briefs similar to those submitted by principal disputants in English VI.

Regulations.(1.) The briefs shall be substantial outlines, giving in very concise form the main divisions of the argument and the character of the evidence to be presented under each division, with authorities actually consulted.

(2.) They shall be on thesis paper, each one bound up by itself so that it can be used separately, and all three fastened together when they are handed in. The topic and name of writer shall be on the outside of each brief.

(3.) At the examination, each student will receive one of his briefs and be expected to elaborate carefully the argument he has outlined.

SENIOR.The examination for seniors will be conducted on an entirely different plan. No topics and no briefs will be required in advance.

The examination papers will present three or four disputed questions of sufficiently varied and general interest to enable each student to treat one of them. Accompanying each topic will be a syllabus of the evidence, pro and con, upon which the controversy rests; and from this syllabus a brief must be constructed and an argument elaborated to sustain the proposition and meet the objections presented.
