Law School Prize.

The Harvard Law School Association was organized last year, and has now about six hundred members-all graduates of the school. Through its secretary, Mr. Louis Brandies, of Boston, the Association offers a prize of $100 to that member of the present third-year class in the Law School who shall write the best essay upon any of the three legal subjects submitted by the secretary. The essays must be handed in before June 1st, 1888, so that the prize may be awarded at the annual meeting of the Association, which occurs on the Tuesday before commencement. The subjects for the essays are as follows: 1, The Liability for Negligence in the Case of Heaven vs. Pender, 9 Q. B. D., 302; 11 Q. B. D., 503. 2, What Limitations, if any, are imposed by the Federal Constitution on the rights of States to enact Quarantine Laws? 3. History of the Law of Business Corporations prior to the year 1800. The successful essay will be printed in the Harvard Law Review. The object of the association in offering this prize is part of the larger object for which the association was first organized, to call the attention of the graduates to the work being done by the school, and to interest them in aiding the growth of the school by their individual efforts and influence. The president of the association is James C. Carter, of New York City, the secretary, Louis Brandies, of Boston.
