This branch of a new business, one man passing the examination in the stead of another, was said to be thriving. Substitutes are not permitted in civil service.

We have received from our friend, S. F. Mordecai, Esq., senior professor of law, a beautiful prospectus of the Law Department, Trinity College, Durham, N. C., in which our former student, Robert P. Reade, Esq., now of the law firm of Boone' & Reade, is one of the associate professors. We wish for these gentlemen and the institution which they represent a great career of honor and usefulness.

Applicants for the degree of Bachelors of Laws must be at least twenty years of age, and must have completed an academic course equivalent to that of the Freshman and Sophomore years in the college.

MOOT COURT.

The Moot Court is an important factor in legal educational methods; it familiarizes the student with the practical side of law. It is the purpose of the University Court to acquaint the student with the legal details so necessary to be acquired, yet so difficult of access. Regular sessions are held every Saturday evening, and every student in the Law Department has frequent opportunities for practice. The work is thorough and is carried on from the inception of the suit to the final judgment in the Appellate Court.
