The Editors for the year 1903 announce:

That the REGISTER will be edited as heretofore under the supervision the Faculty of the Law Department and with the individual assistance of it members. The department of leading articles will contain theoretical an practical discussions of questions of interest to practicing lawyers. Amon these may be mentioned:

Specific Performance of Contracts. (Another article.) By Willia
Draper Lewis.

Instalment Contracts for the Sale of Goods. By Owen J. Robert
Federal Legislation and the Trusts. By Henry Wolf Bikle.

Religious Belief as the Test of the Competency of a Witness
By Thomas Raeburn White.

And others suggested by current legal happenings and conditions. It is als in contemplation of the Editors to collect the articles on Specific Performanc which have appeared and which are to appear into a supplement to be issue with the magazine for the convenience of subscribers.

The Progress of the Law will be made as useful and suggestive a possible. The decisions will be recent and noteworthy; and an effort will b made to have one or two authorities in point accompany the brief summary c the decision.

The Note Department is to receive especial attention; and it is believe that as a result these reviews of the law in important cases studied compara tively will be found of no small value to the busy practitioner,-furnishing & they will an outline of the theory of the law on one point, at least.

The Book Department will aim to give subscribers an idea of what being done by law writers and publishers, and to furnish them some guidanc in constructing their library.

In answer to numerous requests for bound volumes of the AMERICAN LA REGISTER we have made a subscription price of five dollars per annum, whic includes the current issues and a bound volume at the end of the year.

An agreement has been executed between the Society and the General Alumni Society, the provisions of which may be summarized as follows:

First.-All members of the Society who on November 15, 1902, were annual, life, or honorary members thereof, are now similar members of the General Alumni Society.

Second. All graduates of the Law Department of the University of Pennsylvania who are members of the General Alumni Society, or who may hereafter join either Society, shall become thereby members of both Societies.

Third. All dues are payable to the Treasurer of the General Alumni Society. An arrangement has been made with the General Alumni Society by which a proper proportion of these dues will be paid to the Treasurer of the Society, in order that the Society may be in funds to provide for the Sharswood and Meredith prizes, and to make the other customary appropriations. The General Alumni Society has the power to fix the amount of the annual dues, and for the year 1903 has fixed the minimum subscription at two dollars, which entitles the subscriber to receive the "Alumni Register."

Fourth.-Honorary members of the Society shall receive the "Alumni Register" free, and life members upon payment of fifty cents annually. The Board of Managers believe that this agreement will result in bringing the Society into closer relations with the progressive work in which the Faculty and Alumni of the University are so deeply interested, without in any way losing the Society's identity.

The object of this Society is to promote the welfare and increase the usefulness of the Law Department of the University of Pennsylvania. To help it accomplish this object, it asks for the co-operation of all the graduates of that Department; and every such graduate who has not yet become a member of the Society is earnestly requested to do so and give its work his interest and support.
