He has the subject of Equity, of which he is a thorough student, and uses Pomeroy's treatise upon the subject as a text-book. The subject is given a large place in our course of study; and the students, under Mr. Kellogg's guidance and instruction, have rare facilities for gaining a good knowledge of the subject.

Charles B. Elliott, of Minneapolis, whose contributions upon legal subjects are fre quently seen in the Atlantic Monthly, Po litical Science Quar terly, American Law Review, Central Law Journal, and other periodicals, has this year supplemented the lectures of General Cole, upon Private Corporation, by con ducting the Senior class, through Mr. Morawitz, upon that subject. Mr. Elliott is a graduate of the Iowa Law School, has re ceived the degree of Ph. D., and is an able, scholarly, and success FRANK B. ful lawyer. He also lectures upon the subject of Wills, and is a successful teacher as well as a thorough student of the law. He is attorney for the Minnesota Saving Fund and Investment Company, a corporation of large business in Minneapolis, and is held in high esteem as one of the most scholarly and able of the younger attorneys in the Northwest.

Selden Bacon, Esq., of Minneapolis, lec turer on Civil Proce dure, is a native of New Haven, Conn.; and was admitted to the Minnesota Bar in 1883. He graduated from the Law School of the Wisconsin Uni versity in 1884, and has since been en KELLOGG. gaged in the practice of law in Minneapolis. Mr. Bacon has paid special attention to the subject of Civil Procedure, and while being an able and devoted student himself, he is also a most thorough and successful teacher of that subject. The Common Law, Equity, and Code Procedure extend throughout the Senior year, and special attention is given to the students upon these topics. During the last weeks of the year Ralph Whelan, Esq., a thorough lawyer and fine instructor, is lecturing upon the law of Torts.
