The Peregrimis palron Mini hail its beginning in I III1 Kajuily class lauglit bv Judge ft. S. Simkins. Ilrn ’ I hr way Simkin lolil ihr slory: Many year ago I »a« trying lo explain lo ihr class in Equity ihr origin of thr system in Rome anil ihr sourer of equity in ihr Ronun empire. Al lhal limr fledgling' just from ihr high schools were ailmiltnl to ihr law School. Many of thrm hail nrvrr hrard of ihr Rnnun Empire, anil not a few spelled row with a V. ’Well. I explained lo I hr in lhal when Rome conquered a nation it wa» incorporated into the Roman Empire — that ihr Ronun citizen was not subject lo the ljw» of these ineorpo-rated nation' — lhal in due course commerce •prang up between the citizens of Rome and barbaric nations, and there was no law to determine anil settle their contractual relations. Thr Roman Emperor, to settle the troubles arising out of the fact that there was no law applicable to control iheir contracts, appointed a Praetor or chancellor to travel among those nation' and lo settle all disputes without reference to the laws of Rome, or of the incorporated Nation , but to do justice and decide all disputes, alone by the conscience of the Praetor. Per«-grinaling from one nation to the other, he was called the Praetor Perrgri-nus. A slight interruption in Simkin story for those without diclionaires in hand — Peregrinate mean to traw l from place to place or from country to country. Pcrcgrinus is Lilin and literally means a traveler nr stranger. Now on with the tale. The honehcads of the class evidently thought that Pcrcgrinus w.i an internal organ of the body for they continually greeted each other with ‘How i your Pcrcgrinus today? Thi fact seem to have developed the humorous side of the incident, and Ku ell Savage developed a concrete expression of it on the blackboard and thu the tradition liegan. While various descriptions have been given over the years of the Peregrinu . Julien Elfrn-hein. editor of the 1018 Cactus, got this description from Simkin of the original Peer-griniis: Perry is a creature of Kquily. ilh hi enormous tail he brushes aside all technicalities in favor of Justice. With thr long |iointed beak he delve into the intricacies of the relevant and the irrelevant for the Truth. On hi left forefoot is thr Irish ditcher’s bool, confessing hi membership in the rank and file, lb-pul' his ’right fool foremost and it is adorned with an expensive ’Starry Adam'‘shoe (evidently a lot of force in 1918). The lioxing glove hack up the I aw and Equity. Hi' eye i all-seeing ami his fine head i crowned with the white cap of Truth . Simkin aUo explained lhal Perry’s arched lark, in the attitude of springing, indicates the law is ever ready lo protect right or prevent wrong. In 1949. many years after Perry’ birth, the School of law published it fir l yearliook and aptly named it Pcrcgrinus. The Society of Pcrcgrinus published the yearbook through 1970. In 1971 the student assembly author-i rd Texas Student Publications to take over supervision of the Pcn-grimi . Editorial Staff: Debbe Richardson Jerry Thompson . Ron Hicks.......
