Minor Point

Are eight o'clock lectures a good idea? Other faculties also have them which does not make them any better. From eight in the morning to probaly six at night with an hour or so of work in the evening is a very long day a fifty-five hour week in fact.

This article is not purely destructive and all the criticism is meant kindly. Many qualifications and provisions which could have been added have been omitted because space does not permit and the whole problem is very complex. The writer is aware that there are points which are not made sufficiently clear, some which are perhaps contradictory and more which are very debatable.

It is not desirable that the law course should be made any easier by the lowering of standards but by the serious study and the solution as soon as it is practical of some at least of its problems. Perhaps it should be made clear that a law student is as anxious as anyone to commence a career and at present he has to wait a considerable time before it is possible for him to make plans for other parts of his life. If he is suffering from unnecessary disadvantages these should be removed. Law courses should exist for the student and the lawyer and not students and lawyers for the law courses.
