Dear Sirs:
As counsel for ESC Strategic Funds, Inc. (the "Fund")
and each of its series of shares during the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1996, we are familiar with the Fund's registration
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and with the
registration statement relating to its shares of common stock
(the "Shares") under the Securities Act of 1933 (File No. 33-
72190) (the "Registration Statement"). We have also examined
such other corporate records, agreements, documents, instruments
and officer's certificates as we deemed appropriate.
Based upon the foregoing, it is our opinion with
respect to the Shares the registration of which is being made
definite by the Notice pursuant to Rule 24f-2 under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Notice") being filed by the Fund
for its fiscal year ended March 31, 1996, assuming such Shares
were sold at the public offering price applicable to each series
and class and delivered by the Fund against receipt of the net
asset value of the Shares of each series and class in compliance
with the terms of the Registration Statement and the requirements
of applicable law, that such Shares were, when sold, duly and
validly authorized, legally and validly issued, and fully paid
and non-assessable.
We consent to the filing of this opinion in connection
with the Notice on Form 24F-2 to be filed by the Fund with the
Securities and Exchange Commission for the Fund's fiscal year
ended March 31, 1996.
Very truly yours,
Dechert Price & Rhoads
