William G. Hale
Back From Trip
To Chicago
Conference of American
Association of Law
Schools Attended
Delegates Represent Total
Membership
William G. Hale, dean of the Ore
gon law school, has returned from
the annual meeting of the American
Association of Law Schools, held
this year in Chicago at the La Salle
hotel, December '29, 30 and 31.
Dean Hale says that one the the
unusual features of the conference
that that every school in the Asso
ciation, including the University of
the Phillipines, was represented by
one or more delegates. He also said
there was a larger total attendance
than in former years.
Speaking of the trend cf thought
manifest at the recent meeting,
Dean Hale made the following state
ment: “Having attended these meet
ings for a number of years past, the
thing that impressed me more forc
ibly at this than at any other of the
meetings was the tendency on the
part of the men engaged in legal
education to look upon law as a
strictly social science.
“Not much time is now given to
formalistic consideration |o£ tech
nical rules of law. We are devoting
much more thought in the field of
legal education to fitting law into
the social scheme of things. The
research work in which we are par
ticularly interested is law in action.
We are not concerned with formal
rule but with actual working opera
tion.”
It is the opinion of Dean Hale
that this movement marks an ad
.vanoe in the conception of the work
of this field for it makes more in
timate £he relation between legal
education and the practicing pro
fession.

to keep the address-side of the pack
age dry, so that the address will not
be blurred.
In addressing parcels, the return
address of the sender should always
be placed in the' upper left-hand
corner, the name and address of the

ing sent in the lower right-hand
corner, and plenty of space should
be left for the stamps.
Students are also urged to inquire

have not been claimed, is to be held
sometime during the first part of the

Psychological Tests For Freshmen
Are Advantageous to University
Fifteen Hundred Applicants Examined at Less Than
Cost Allotted by Budget
‘•'The policy of administering psy
chological tests to freshmen enter
ing the University was begun dur
ing September, 1925,” said Profes
sor H. R. Taylor of the psychology
department, in outlining the history
of one of the most interesting
branches of his work. ‘‘So far the
work has been carried on under
the direction of the Freshmjen Week
committee headed by Dr. C. S.
Conklin.”
Professor Taylor, after an inves
tigation into the time, and finan
cial merits of various tests, chose
the test battery prepared by the
Personnel Research committee of
the National Research Council. He
considered it superior to any other
test except the Thorndike exami
nation, which, although more fully
standardized, is much too hong and
expensive for the present needs.
Last year 964 freshmen were test
ed and their standings in the eight
tests then included, were recorded.
The cost of the pamphlets was 9
cents each and the cost of scoring
the tests, comiputing (norms, and
copying, the records on cards for
the registrar’s office was approxi
mately 13 cents per student. The
total expense per capita was about
22 cents.
This year the amount has in
creased. Although other expenses
averaged approximately the same,
the cost of the tests was raised 10
cents.
“Records have been kept and ex
tensive research done on more than
1500 students since January 1,
1926,’’ continued Professor Taylor.
“At the budget allotment of $529
this is approximately 35 cents per
student. Stanford spends $5.00 per
student on their present program
of testing applicants for admission
and reasearch into allied problems.
Our present program and facilities
would neither require nor justify
so large an expenditure.
“It is, however, my firm belief
that the studies to be reported and
the data now available will render
service to the Univorsity and the
youth of the state many times their
modest per capita cost,” concluded
Professor Taylor.
