De gree at Exercises. Raising two sturdy young sons is one thing and earning a law degree is another. But Mrs. Paul ine von Brandenfels, who received her LL.B. degree at commencement exercises yesterday morning, has combined the two jobs and shown herself very able at bolh.

In April, 1934, the two were married, ami the next fall Mrs. Brandenfels decided to try her own luck in the law college alongside her husband Studies progressed very well, interrupted in August, 1935, by the not at all unimportant event of the birth of young Martin. Meanwhile, Mr. Brandenfels got a new Job, a much bigger one that demanded so much time that he felt it necessary to drop out of school. By now, his wife had a degree in business ad ministration (earned with an aver age of over 901, and she decided that she would carry on in law alone - at least for a time. She stayed out of school the first semester of 1936, and in November of that year, another young fellow was born named Frederick. Illness the second semester made it neces sary for her to make up six weeks of law school work, but she came through with a higher average than before. This spring she won the Nathan Burkan competition on copyright law after entering her essay with other seniors, and she received a prize of $100. Mrs. Brandenfels explains that she went to classes in the morning, took care of her children and her home in the afternoon, and studied at night when her husband was at work. Now she plans to continue her dual role as home-maker and lawyer. But if she finds that practicing law takes too much of her time away from her family, she ava that her home comes first! education in the teachers college, and Harry Green, instructor in art and handicraft in the Lincoln schools.
