If, as in Massachusetts for many years now, more than onehalf of the applicants are rejected on each examination it is easy to see that the individual hardships are serious and the temptation to charge favoritism is great.

The system above outlined is the result of twenty years of expe- . rience. We believe it is a good system and we present it for the consideration of the bar examiners of the different states and all others who are interested.

The President:

It is not my intention to make any extended remarks at this time. I desire, however, to ask your indulgence for a few moments regarding certain matters which led up to our summer meeting, and then we will pass to the main item on the program.

This is the first meeting that the Association of American Law Schools has had in connection with the American Bar Association since 1913. Since that year we have been holding our meetings separately and apart, in Chicago in December of each year. This year it was decided that we would hold a summer meeting, in connection with the meeting of the American Bar Association, again; but the success of our separate meetings has been such that there is a very strong feeling on the part of many of our members that we ought to continue to meet separately. (The address of the President appears at page 516.)

The President:

The principal paper of the evening is entitled "The Aftermath of Codification," by Prof. Nathan Isaacs of the University of Pittsburgh Law School.

(This paper appears at page 524.)

The paper was discussed by Prof. Samuel Williston of Cambridge, the Honorable Walter George Smith of Philadelphia, and others.

The second session of the Association of American Law Schools was held on Tuesday, August 24, at 8 P. M. at the same place as the first session.

The recommendation of the Executive Committee that Hastings College of Law be reinstated as a member of the Association was passed. The recommendation of the Executive Committee that so long as the University of Southern California Law School requires 108 units of the value announced in its 1919-1920 catalog, 36 of such units counting toward the first law degree may be completed in night classes, was passed. The remainder of the second session was chiefly devoted to a discussion of the report of the special committee on Reform of Judicial Procedure. Final consideration of this report was posponed to the December meeting.

(This report appears on page 512.)

The Executive Committee was directed to prepare a student record card complying with the requirements of Article 7, paragraph 6, of the Articles of Association.
