GOOD HABITS NECESSARY TO LAW

Professor Samuel Williston '82, speaking last night on "Preparing for the Law School," said that the formation of good physical and mental habits in college was necessary for success in the Law School and later life. In regard to college courses, they may all be roughly divided into those which are valuable for the information they import, and those which give ability to solve problems. The latter class, which includes such subjects as the classics and mathematics, is most useful to the lawyer, while courses in economic theory, which belongs to both classes, are also useful. The ability to write and speak clear English is also essential. College law courses, except those in international law, are apt to be confusing.

A summer in a law office is generally wasted; it may be spent better in a business office. Attending courts is good, as is anything bringing one into contact with all classes of people.

J. H. Amberg 3L. spoke on "Getting Under Way in the Law School" and advised everyone entering the Law School to get a large green bag on the first day, and to begin working hard then. He urged that the Board of Advisers be consulted constantly, as they could give invaluable hints on the work.
