the very excellent course prescrib- ed by the curriculum of this insti- tution was completed by him in the short space of six months; upon his return to Sigourney he en- tered his brother's store and re- mained there until the spring of 1878, when Mr. Hogin, Sr., retired from business; he then entered the office of Donnell & Brooks, to prosecute the study of law, to which he had previously given considerable attention; in the fol- lowing fall he applied for admis- sion to the bar; after a most rigor- ous and searching examination by the committee appointed for the purpose, his application was fa- vorably reported on, and he was admitted by the presiding judge, C.
