YALE LAW JOURNAL SCHOOL AND ALUMNI NOTES The following editorial from the Yale Daily News of May 8th is reprinted here in its entirety as being the best method of placing before the students and alumni of the Law School the present policy of the News with respect to the graduate departments of the Uni- versity: "In order to strengthen its policy of representing the entire University, the News has established an advisory board of graduate school students. This board will consist of five men, one from each of the graduate departments. Meetings will be held at regular intervals, when by discussing matters relating to each department, a community of interest may be attained. These men will occasion- ally attend meetings of the News Board and by talking over the different phases of University life in these joint meetings it is hoped that a closer relationship may come to exist between the graduate and undergraduate departments. Hours for meeting the heelers will be arranged. The members selected are all representative men and are in close touch with the life and conditions in their own depart- ments. Thus much more news than has been brought in by the heelers from the graduate schools will be obtained. The method of perpetuating the graduate board is as yet undecided, but the choice of their successors will undoubtedly rest largely with the retiring members. Most men in the graduate schools are there to study, and repre- sentation on the News Board for such men by the process now in vogue is quite impossible-hence the method adopted. The graduate advisory board is composed of the following men, and we feel con- fident that they will co-operate with us in making the News the mouth-piece of the University at large: K. S. Latourette-Graduate School. W. V. Griffin-Law School. P. Titus-Medical School. A. Leopold-Forestry School. T. B. Lathrop-Divinity School."

RESOLUTIONS The Class of I9IO of the Yale Law School have learned with deep sorrow of the death of their honored classmate, Tateh Clarence Chen. He came to the Yale Law School in September, 19o7, and by his kindly and courteous ways won and merited the esteem of all. His work here was faithful and of high order. His courage in coming so far for his legal education testifies to his worth and character. Keenly conscious of their loss the Class hereby resolves that minutes be adopted to give expression to their sorrow: That a copy of these resolutions be sent to his family in China, and that they be printed in Yale News, the YALE LAW JOURNAL, the Yale Alumni Weekly, and the New Haven papers; And it is further resolved that the Class, as such, attend the removal of his body from New Haven and provide a suitable floral tribute.
