PUBLISHERS' COLUMN, In our series of biographical sketches of Professors in this Law School, we present this month one of Prof. John Ordronaux, Professor of Medical Jurisprudence. He has held this position in Columbia College since 1861, and has retained during all these years the affectionate admiration and respect of the hundreds of students who have listened to him. There is probably no man so well equipped for the position he now holds as Dr. Ordronaux. His work in the various branches of Medical Jurisprudence has made him an authority on the subject. But he also well known, both in literature and as a lecturer, in many other branches of learning. During his many years devoted to lecturing, he has taught Medical Jurisprudence, various branches of medicine, Constitutional Law, International Law, and other topics. A glance over the list of his contributions to literature will show at once the broadness of his learning, and the value of his abilities. His work on "Constitutional Legislation in the United States" is the only work that treats exclusively of that subject. His works on Insanity, and the cases decided by him as Commissioner of Lunacy, are productions that cannot be duplicated. The article in the present number by Dr. Frost will be found by all students and lawyers of great value. It presents the question under discussion in a clear and forcible manner, and convincingly sustains the view he takes of the matter. Dr. Frost, one of the founders of the Columbia Law Times, is a prominent lawyer in Minneapolis, and a well known contributor to legal literature. In this connection we may say that the last article contributed by him to the LAW TIMES appeared in the May (1892) number, entitled "Clients and Fees," a bit of advice full of sound common sense. A recent number of the Financial Record gives a most instructive account of the progress of the "Caligraph " in type-writer universal reaching Much of this is popular approval. due, it says, to the energy and ability of the New York manager, Mr. George L. Fielder. In the United States there are 38 branch offices and agencies of this company, with numerous subagencies. Among the prominent establishments in this city using it are the Western Union Telegraph Company, the Postal Telegraph Cable Company, the Evening Post, the Mail and Express, and many others. The British Home and Colonial Governments, and the French and Russian Governments are large purchasers of the Caligraph machines. College Pins.
