University Termed Best For Professions Training
He expressed this belief in talking to the Chancery Club, a group of law students which meets to discuss various aspects of the law.
Chancellor W. Clarke Wescoe said last night that professional education should take place in a university setting.
Chancellor Wescoe said a university is best qualified to offer professional education because of:
- The alertness for change which is present in a university.
- Many groups, in a form of status-seeking, are calling their fields professions, Chancellor Wescoe said. He listed three criteria for a profession:
- The availability of professors in allied fields.
- Its more extensive facilities.
- Its cultural aspects.
"First of all, I think that a profession is a way of life—and I add to that. of service."
"SECONDLY, to be a profession I think there must be related to this a formal program of education of high quality.
"Third . . . no group of people exists as a profession unless there exists between them a high code of ethics."
The chancellor said he feels legal education should be more of a graduate program than it is now. In order for a man to be educated as a lawyer, he must first be an educated man. Chancellor Wescoe said.
THE PROFESSIONAL SCHOOL should not concentrate only on producing good practitioners, the chancellor said. A professional school can be great only if it has graduates who are competent in the practice of the profession and graduates who are capable of teaching, he said.
"Education in law schools should relate itself to the teaching of broad concepts," Chancellor Wescoe said.
Senator Dodd Refuses To Attend YAF Rally
WASHINGTON — (UPI) — Sen. Thomas J. Dodd, D-Conn., said today he refused to participate in a forthcoming conservative rally in New York because it looked like a "partisan gathering with extremist coloration."
Dodd made public his letter to the Young Americans for Freedom organization asserting that he could not reconsider his decision against joining in the anti-communist rally Mar. 7.
THE GROUP Monday withdrew its invitation for former Maj. Gen. Edwin A. Walker to appear at the affair. Walker, it was learned, was removed from the program as a result of objections by Sens. Barry Goldwater, R-Ariz., and John G. Tower, R-Tex.
The youth group told Walker his appearance would be taken as an endorsement of his candidacy for governor in Texas, where he is running in the Democratic primary. Walker said he had not received any word that his appearance had been canceled.
Goldwater and Tower are to make major speeches at the rally.
Dodd said he regarded the anti-communist cause as one which, to succeed, "must function as a bipartisan movement which is neither dominated by nor identified with any political party or political faction."
HE SAID THAT when he received his original invitation, he expected the award presentation affair to be non-partisan and designed to honor "a diverse group of Americans for contributions to freedom and anti-communism." Dodd added:
"I now find that I am the only publicly identifiable Democrat in a rather large group of Republicans; that there is an extended speaking program; that at least one well-known political extremist has been widely advertised as a participant, and that an advertising campaign has been launched which gives this award presentation all the trappings of a mammoth protest rally.
"Because of all this, the meeting has come to represent in the minds of many a partisan gathering with extremist coloration which seeks to claim some exclusive relationship with the anti-communist effort. It is thus a step away from the direction which I hope this cause will take."
THE CONSERVATIVE YOUTH group said last night that Sen. Strom Thurmond, D-S.C., also would receive an award at the rally. Others to be honored at the Madison Square Garden meeting include former
It Takes Time
NEW YORK — (UPI) — It takes time to make a timepiece, Bulova Watch Company estimates that two years may elapse between the design of a new watch movement and delivery of a finished production model. Design, tooling and engineering require 100,000 or more man-hours and production involves six to nine months and 3,500 or more separate operations.

Katanga President Moise Tshombe also is scheduled to be honored at the rally. But the State Department said recently it had not acted on Tshombe's visa request because he filed an "incomplete application."

With my Swingline I'll tack
All these snakes front to back,
And invent the first permanent wave!"
