LAW DEPARTMENT.
Hon. George Sharswood, Dean of the Faculty,
Professor of the Institutes of Law, including
Inter Alia, International, Constituttonal, Com-
mercial, and Civil Law.
Peter McCall, Esq., Professor of Practice,
Pleading, and Evidence at Law and ino Equity.
E. Spencer Miller, Esq., Professor of Real
Estate, Conveyancing, and Equity Jurisprudence.
The course consists of two years. There are
two terms in each year. The first term begins
out the first of October, and continues four months ;
the second, on the first of February, and crrn-
tunues four months. From the first day of June,
to the first of October, is vacation.
Students who have attended four terms with
each Professor may, upon the recommendation of
the Faculty, proceed Bachelors of Law.
Students wvho have attended any one or two
of the Professors only, may receive from each
Professor certificates of proiciency.
The fee to each Professor is ten dollars for each
term of four months. No matriculation fee is re.
quired.
In all cases where a student of law is desirous
to attend a course, and can bring a certificate
from tie member of the bar with whom he is stu-
dying, that he is, for any reason which may be
stated, a proper object for such indulgence, he
will be allowed to attend the lectures without
charge.
Each Professor has the control and regulation
of his own course of instruction. All of them,
however, combine examinations, and Moot Courts
with their lectures, so as to make the system as
complete as possible.
The Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has,
within a few months past, adopted the following
general rule, giving a practical advantage to
those who obtain a degree from this department:
1 Any person who has been duly graduated as
Bacselor of Laws by any College or Universite
of this Commonwvealth, duly inicorporated andf
authorized by laws so to gradua te, arnd who Ins
received a diploma, or proper certificate of tacit
gradruation, and who. Iras alsoa boen admaitt,,il to
practice as an attorney by any Court (if Commrar
Pleas or District Court of this Contuonw l.h.
shall be forthwith admitted to practice as an at
torney of this court.''
