To Sit for State Bar Exam Jan. 25, 1926

Law School Has 27 State Bar Candidates. . . Tom P. Jimison in List—Only One Woman Is Applying for License This Year

Twenty-seven of the 113 men who will stand the state bar examination for a Superior Court law license in Raliegh on January 25 are, or have been, students of the University of North Carolina, it has been learned through local law school.

The bar examinations this year are being published only for the third time, it seems. Several years ago an Asheville attorney breezed through famously before anyone knew who he was, and for some reason the state forthwith decided to publish the names of the candidates for the bar.

This year’s list contains 113 names of candidates who will have to bear the burden of an examination, and two others who come by comity from South Carolina.

Among the University’s representatives on the large list appears the name of Tom P. Jimison, widely known and talked-about law student here. The state papers hail his appearance before the court for a license with much publicity and attendant comment.

The only woman on the list is Miss Daisy Cooper, who has studied for the past few years at the local law school.

The following students who will take the bar examination are now registered in the University law school or have at one time or another studied here:
