Ollie Edmunds and local members of the board of trustees a proposed trust for the Stetson College of Law. The plan, intended to aid the institution calls for the setting up of a trust fund in the form of endowment insurance policies by the 14 members of the law graduating class this winter quarter. The success of the plan would call for co-operation by other law students and alumni. The policies are in the amount of $250 each and mature in ten years. Sams stressed the fact that the Stetson Law College is one of the oldest and finest with many outstanding alumni. He declared that Stetson law alumni had talked for years of ''doing something for the College of Law, but that this was the first actual step ever made." After Sams had read the complete instrument, drawn up by J. R. Wilson, law college instructor, President Edmunds was called on for comment on the document. Edmunds praised the class for their interest in the law college and suggested minor changes in the plan. The plans await the' approval of the President and the board of trustees.
