Re: Rule 24f-2 Notice for Wayne Hummer Investment Trust
File Nos. 2-7153 and 811-3880
----------------------------------------------------
Gentlemen:
We have acted as counsel to Wayne Hummer Investment Trust (the "Fund") since its
inception and in connection with its public offering of an indefinite number of
units of beneficial interest, no par value ("Shares"), of the Fund.
Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion that the Shares issued, as reported
on the accompanying Notice pursuant to Rule 24f-2 reporting sales and
redemptions during the period April 1, 1994 through March 31, 1995, were legally
issued, fully paid and nonassessable (although shareholders of the Fund, a
Massachusetts business trust, may be subject to liability under certain
circumstances as described in Part B of the Registration Statement of the Fund
under the caption "Shareholder Liability").
In rendering this opinion, we have relied upon an Officer's Certificate executed
by the Secretary and Treasurer of the Fund representing, among other things,
that all Shares of the Fund have been issued at the net asset value per share
next determined after the Fund's receipt of an order in proper form and payment
therefor from the investor, in accordance with the Fund's Agreement and
Declaration of Trust and as described in the Prospectus.

Very truly yours,
