ARRANGEMENT OF CLASSES.
The Law Department comprises three Schools, each of which is divided
into two classes, designated respectively as Junior and Senior. The course
of instruction contemplates that two years at the least shall be devoted to its
completion—the first year's course comprising all the Junior classes, and the
second year's course all the Senior classes. Heretofore there have been in
the entire course twelve lectures weekly, of one and a half hours each.
But, at the beginning of the next session (1895-'96), the number will be increased
by three additional lectures, making a weekly total of fifteen.
This enlargement of the course, together with the increased number of examinations
rendered necessary under the recent reorganization of the department,
will render it practically impossible to complete the course, as has been
not unusual heretofore, in a single year.
The subjects to be embraced in the additional lectures have not been fully
determined upon, and will be announced later. It is probable that they will
be equally divided between the Junior and Senior classes.
The following table exhibits an outline of the course (with the exception
of the additional subjects yet to be announced) and a list of the text-books
used:
