The meeting of the Conference Committee held yesterday afternoon was well attended. Prof. Palmer was in the chair. In addition to the regular members, Professors Langdell and Laughlin, and Messrs. La Monte, '86, and Snelling, '87, were present by invitation. The first business of the meeting was the consideration of the resolution reported from a drafting committee, that the Conference Committee recommended to the faculty the introduction of an elective in general law, based upon Blackstone or Kent. This resolution was very fully discussed. Professor Langdell of the Law School, gave an exposition of the subject matter of such a course, showing that fully treated, it would require much more time and labor than would be possible in one course in the senior year, and that an imperfect treatment would be of doubtful expediency. Prof. Shaler expressed the same views, as also other prominent members of the Conference. After an hour had passed in discussion, the following resolution was adopted in the place of the one reported: "Resolved, That the Conference Committee request the faculty to consider the advisability of permitting seniors to elect for the degree of A. B. one course in the Law School from courses approved by the Law School faculty."

After another hour's interesting and progressive discussion on the proper method of treating cases of cribbing, the Conference adjourned for one week.
