Judge Vurpillat Accepts Chair at Notre Dame.

North Judson News. The University of Notre Dame has offered to former Judge Francis J. Vurpillat, of Winamac, the chair of resident professor of law and ludge of the moot court. The judge has accepted the offer and as soon as he can arrange his personal and business matters, will move to South Bend to be near the university. The position is permanent and pays a handsome salary and Notre Dame is noted as one of the greatest seats of learning in the United States. 1,200 students are enrolled at the university and 150 students are in the law department. Judge T. E. Howard, late of the supreme court of Indiana and chief instructor Col. Hoynes are to retire from the corps of instructors and Judge Vurpillat being on the reserve list to succeed either of them,, may eventually land the highest position in the department.
