Many people seem not to understand the objects and purposes of the Law School. Some, apparently have the idea that it is simply a place to hold mock courts, and teach the students how best to defend criminals, and prove that black is white; then, at the close of the term go before a committee, with a goodly supply of cider and cigars, have a jolly social time, call it an examination, and be admitted to the bar.
Law.
Nothing is further from the truth. Just as the college is the place to acquire a literary education, so the law school is the proper place to get a legal education. Here is taught the history of law and its relations to society, the principles upon which law is founded, constitutional and international law, and sound learning in all the principal branches of this universal science. In the school the student is not left to pursue his own desultory plans of study, but the work is directed by the faculty, and taken up in a methodical and logical manner. The student who is an apprentice to an attorney and gets his education by doing the drudgery of the office, and poring over books in a corner, at odd intervals, will find his education very deficient: ita lex scripta est, will be the limits of his knowledge. The student in the law school comes into contact with men of his own, and superior ranks in life. He is inspired by the emulations of the class-room disputations, and actual practice in preparing pleadings and arguing cases. Through the medium of the Kent

Club, moot courts, and office work, he goes forth better prepared for his work than it is possible for him to be who has been wholly educated in the office, and only one side of him developed.
At the close of the term the members are given a rigid written examination by the faculty, consisting of from twenty-five to thirty questions on each of eighteen branches. In addition to this they pass another examination before a committee of three members of the bar, appointed by the judge of the district. This year this committee is to be composed entirely of non-resident members, and comprises some the best legal talent of the State.
Tuesday evening, May 29th, a grand benefit concert was tendered to Mr. P. D. Aldrich by the musical circles of Lawrence.

LINES--NOT ON SPRING.
Wearily the poet's head
Wearily the poet's head
Dropped upon his folded arms,
Motionless, as he were dead.
Sat he thus while moments sped,
Deaf to clock ticks and alarms.
Dead he cannot be, for heart
Heaves he now a long-drawn sigh—
From the very books — as care
Something agitates the seer.
Is it poverty or pie?
Seet he raiseth up his head—
Frenzled rolls his poet's eye.
I think I white was that word he said,
Murmured low in accents dread,
Clutching nervous hands on high?
"Kingdoms for a theme," he cries,
Loudly, wildly o'er and o'er.
("Murray, no nine. Murray, wise."
Ye with brains not mortals' size,
Come and help me, I implore.
"Soon, too soon, that poem's due—
Not a single thought have I—
Ah, me miserum eheu!
Help me, Muses, or I die."
To his feet he mady springs, Walks the floor with fevered trend.
Where a calendar down swings,
And against it bumps his head.
Once more to his senses brought,
“April ist,” he slowly reads:
But it means to him but naught.
With his brain so over-fraught
With the mor
Then, like sunshine after rain,
On his mind doth burst a light—
"Joy, oh, rapture—am I sane?"—
Spring has come! Ah, glad refrain!
Spring has come! Ah, glad refrain!
And on that, of course, I'll write."
