The alumni were well represented at the continuing legal education course “Practical Law for the Young Lawyer” held at the Law School on August 24 through August 26. Not only were many of those in attendance graduates of the Law School but also five of the six instructors were graduates.

Two hundred and forty-nine lawyers attended the first institute specifically planned for the recent law graduate. The course was jointly sponsored by the Junior Bar Section of the Ohio State Bar Association, the Junior Lawyers Committee of the Columbus Bar Association, and the College of Law, The Ohio State University. The success of this Conference could be seen by the number in attendance at the evening occasion, which was a new innovation.

The Auditorium was Filled with Attentive Lawyers

The first morning' consisted of a lecture and dis­cussion on “Probating The Small Estate.” The instruc­tor was Richard H. Oman, ’51, of Isaac, Postlewaite, O’Brien & Oman, Columbus.

Fred E. Sams, ’56, of Kennedy & Kennedy, Colum­bus, Ohio, spoke during the afternoon session, on “Handling a Real Estate Transaction.” The topic for the evening session, “Collection Procedures and Reme­dies,” was presented by Thomas E. Cavendish, ’53, of Wright, Harlor, Morris, Arnold & Glander, Columbus.

The first session on Friday was taught by Earl E. Mayer, Jr., ’54. His topic was “Forming the Small Corporation”. The first one hundred pre-registrants attended the Friday luncheon where Mr. John John­ston, President of the Ohio State Bar Association, dis­cussed “The Advantages of Membership in the Or­ganized Bar.” The Friday afternoon session consisted of a talk by Samuel H. Porter, ’52, of Porter, Stanley, Treffinger & Platt, Columbus, on “Preparation of a Negligence Case for Trial.”

At the final session on Saturday morning, Craig Spangenberg, of Spangenberg, Hasenflue & Shibley,

Cleveland, spoke on “The Trial of a Negligence Ac­tion.” The material presented at this Conference is to be printed by West Publishing Company. The date of the release of this book has not been announced.

“Your Personal Injury Case in the Federal Courts” is the subject of the Continuing Legal Education Short Course to be held on December 8 and 9, 1961. Notifi­cations to this Conference have been mailed. Any interested person who has not received the announce­ment may obtain one by writing to Robert J. Nord­strom, Associate Dean, College of Law, The Ohio State University, 1659 North High Street, Columbus 10, O.

Pictured left to right: (sitting) Frank Bazler, Junior Bar Sec­tion; Thomas Cavendish; John Leddy, Columbus Bar Associ­ation; (standing) Robert Hamilton, Junior Bar Section; Samuel Porter; Earl Maver, Jr.; Craig Spangenberg; and Robert Nord­strom, College of Law. (Absent are Fred Sams and Richard Oman.)

During the year 1960-61, the Law Library acquired and processed 18,266 volumes. On July 1, 1961, the collection totalled 182,049 volumes. Recently gathered statistics show that outside circulation of library mate­rials increased from 12,510 volumes during the period January 1-June 30, 1957, to 38,887 volumes during the comparable period January 1-June 30, 1961. The Law Library is now by far the largest in Ohio and one of the major law libraries of the United States.

The enrollment this year is an even three hundred students. Law II has 66 men and four women and Law III has 85 men and three women. The Freshman Class, the largest of the three, consists of 139 men and four women. Fifty colleges and universities are repre­sented in the first-year class. Of the 143 class total, 61 are from Ohio State and 82 from the other 49 institutions. The largest group from elsewhere (14) hails from Ohio University.

I Harry Walter Vanneman, professor of law at the College of Law of The Ohio State University from E1928 to 1952, and emeritus professor since 1952, died [at the age of 79 on October 9, 1961, at Columbus, [Ohio. He had been acting dean of the College of Law tin 1946-1947. Prior to his appointment to the faculty of The Ohio State University, he had taught at the ¡University of South Dakota from 1911 to 1927 and at the University of Missouri during the year of 1927- 1928. After his retirement in 1952, he accepted an appointment to the faculty of the College of Law of [the University of Cincinnati, teaching there during the school years of 1953 and 1954 and retiring as professor

[emeritus in 1955, though he had been urged to staylonger at that institution. He had also taught summer [sessions at the Universities of Wisconsin (1928),Southern California (1932), Michigan (1935, 1936, 1950), and at George Washington University (1945).

Bom on July 23, 1882, at Sidell, Illinois, of parents Franklin Miller Vannenan and Margaret Canaday

[Vanneman, he was educated in the schools of Sidell [and at the University of Illinois where he obtained [the degrees of Bachelor of Arts in 1907 and Bachelor [of Laws in 1909. From Yale University he received, [in 1910, the degree of Master of Laws and spent the [ Summer of 1915 in graduate law study at the Univer- Isity of Chicago. He was a member of the bars of [ Illinois, South Dakota and Ohio, and prior to becom- [ing a teacher of law had practiced law with Franklin i H. Boggs in Urbana, Illinois.

Harry Vanneman’s principal areas of teaching were [ those of Equity, Restitution and Trusts, and his writ- I ings were chiefly in those areas. Some dozen articles [ of real importance were published in the Minnesota, | Cincinnati and Michigan Law Reviews and in the [ Ohio State Law Journal. In volume 40, Ohio Juris- I prudence, appears his work on the law of Trusts as [ it has been developed in Ohio, a treatise of approxi- [ mately 500 pages critically analysing and reporting [ the law as he found it. He was also the author of the

Ohio Annotations to the Restatement of the Law of Restitution and was one of the several advisers to the author of the Ohio Annotations on the Law of Trusts. His writings on Ohio law have been of immense value to the lawyers of Ohio not only because of their accurate statement of what the law is but also for the constructive criticism offered for its improvement.

But Harry Vanneman’s contributions did not termi­nate at the boundaries of the campus. His time was generously given to work for his community and his church. He served on the city’s Council of Social Agencies and Recreation Commission, had been a member and chairman of the Columbus Recreation and Youth Services Council (a division of the then Community Chest), had been a chairman of the Com­mittee on American Citizenship of the Columbus Bar Association, and a member of Selective Service Board 18. These are but a few of his many contributions to the civic life of Columbus. In the First Congrega­tional Church of Columbus, of which he was a mem­ber, he was a deacon for several years and, for two important, years, was chairman of the Church Council. He was a delegate for two years to the General Coun­cil of the Congregational-Christian Church and oc­cupied other important church posts.

To his colleagues on the law faculty his warm­hearted, sympathetic approach to problems in the Col­lege of Law and to those personal to a colleague will be long remembered. To him, the personal touch was as significant in his teaching as it was in his life outside the precincts of the University. His family life, shared by his wife, Winifred Campbell Vanneman, whom he married in June of 1912 and who survives him, was marked by a similar warmth and generosity which their many friends came to experience through the Vanneman hospitality over the years. Here was a life lived to the fullest and noblest and one which has contributed immeasurably to the lives of the many students, colleagues, friends and acquaintances who were exposed to it. Norman D. Lattin

Contributions to the Law Faculty Memorial Fund of the College of Law constitute a fitting means by which alumni may record their appreciation of the life and service of this beloved teacher. Income from the Law Faculty Memorial Fund is “used for loans, grants and awards to students of the College of Law as determined by the Law Faculty.” Gifts in memory of Professor Vanneman should be made to The Ohio State University Development Fund, of which the Law Faculty Memorial Fund is a part, but earmarked for the specific purpose.

J. Paul McNamara presided in the absence of any of the current officers of the Alumni Association. He recognized David Canter, President of the Student Bar Association, who was a guest, and Alan Loop, a mem­ber of the University Board of Trustees.
