June Law Grades High, Unaffected By Draft Threat

Law School grades for last June's examinations released yesterday indicated that all three classes have maintained the same high standards of the past three years. "The draft does not seem to have affected Law marks in the least," according to Harrison S. Dimmitt, Secretary of the Law School.

Of the 464 LL.B. degrees given in June, 26 men had a three-year general average of A, 134 men an average of B, 296 a C average, and eight an average of D.

In the Second Year classrooms, there were 27 A's and 128 B's, which combined to form 34 percent of the grades of Second Year Law students. Sixty-one percent of them got C's, four percent D's, and one percent failed.

Thirty-four first year men--nearly seven percent of the class--earned A's in their First Year courses; three of these men had averages above 80. There were also 120 B's, making a total of 31 percent A's and B's 52.5 percent of the men received C's and eight percent D's. There were 42 failures in the First Year, or 8.5 percent of the students.

The Sears Prize for brilliance of work in First Year courses went to Wayne G. Barnett 2L and Gerald Gunther 2L; the two Second Year men to receive the prize were William J. Kirby 3L and Alan H. McCord 3L.
