NORMAN, OKLAHOMA THURSDAY FEBRUARY
CJIiief .Justice Henry M. Furman ot
the Oklahoma Court of Criminal Ap-
peals, addressed the students of the
University School of Law on "Crim-
inal Jurisprudence" Friday morning
It was Judge Furman's first appear-
ance in publje for over a year as he
is feeble in health, suffering from
vertigo and a weakening of the vocal
chords which makes speech extrem-
ely difficult The eminent jurist
warned his hearers to be honest and
fearless in the practice of their pro
fession, saying that the law was
place for the fool or the coward. He
declared that the man who is willing
to take every case presented to him
debases his intellect and perjuries'
his integrity and is doomed to final
failure. Mr. Furman congratulated
the students on their opportunity for
study, telling th«m that be as a boy
had to walk seven miles to borrow his
first lawbook. The speaker deplored
the tendency of present day jurists to
assume that everything which ;omes
before them is wrong until proved
right, declaring that the law intend-
ed tbatall matters coming before the
court should be regarded as right un-
til proved wrong. He declared that
the common law had served a
good purpose in its day but that its
day was past. "Conceived," said
Judge Furman. "in an age ot Witch-
craft and childish superstition, the
common law comes down to us as e
relic of the p«st, filled with barbar
isms and absurdities."

The Sooner basket ball team has

during which games were played
with Southwestern College of Win

and Oklahoma Baptist University of

lost all three of its matches. The
failure of the team to make a better
showing was in great measure due to
the absence of Captain Diamond, a

State Lniversity presen's some in-
teresting figures. At the conclusion
of the third day of registration 517
students had taken out study cards as
against 4t>.'{ at the same time last
year. This means that the total en-
rollment for the second semester will
be about 800, a decided increase over
last semester an 1 a big advance over
previous y >ars The total registra-
tion for the entire college year, sum-
mer session included, will for the
first time ^n the history of the Uni-
versity, pass the 1,000 mark. Forty-
four new students, twenty-nine of
whom have never attended the in-
stitution before, came in to take up
the work at the beginning of the sec-
and semester. Th«y are from ail
parts of the state and are pretty
evenly distributed over the various
colleges and departments of the Uni-
versity.

A source of felicitation to all who
are interested in the welfare of the
institutions for higher learning with-
in the state is the remarkable inter-
est shown in college religious work
by the students at the University of
Oklahoma. It is a telling and unans-
werable argument against the claim
that is sometimes made that our uni-
versities are drifting toward agnos-
ticism and Infidelity and away from
