WE Pill lll lllllll lll: Dean Antrim M. Hambleton Dean Ira Pratt Dean Antrim Hambleton has retired as dean of the Law school after twenty years of lecturing on law. He is remaining on the faculty this year as an instructor because of the increased enrollment in law school. Jovial and friendly, he is known for his shagging at fraternity parties and a good golf game. His sincere interest in the school and in the professional careers of his students has made him a real friend to all students. Dean Ira Pratt, head of the school of music, has retired after thirty- four years in college instruction, to Boise, Idaho and his favorite sport, trout fishing. His wonderful voice and excellent conducting of the choir and glee clubs will long be remembered, and so will the Sunday evenings on his farm where students used to get together and sing. Washburn wishes Dean Pratt many hours of good fishing and lots of luck. 15

SlIHll0l Swinging canes and jaunty steps announce the approach of a senior in Washburn's School of Law. Senior canes are a tradition almost as old as the school itself, which was founded in 1903, moving to the campus in 1918. The school is a member of the Association of American Law schools and is also on the approved list of the American Bar association. The primary purpose of the school is to educate students for the successful practice of law in state and federal courts. The students have access of two fine law libraries which contain over one hundred thousand volumes, further augmented by additional volumes at the State library, the State Historical library, and the Topeka Public library. Location of the school in Topeka makes the following courts available for observation in proceedings: The United States District Court for Kansas, the Supreme Court of Kansas, the Shawnee county District court Cthree divisionsi, the Shawnee county Probate' court, the Court of Topeka, and the Police Court of Topeka. The Law school faculty is supplemented by judges and lawyers who are in actual practice and familiar with law in all its phases. Bench and Bar proms, luncheons, speakers, and outside activities are planned by officers elected in the law school at the beginning of each semester. Officers this year are: First semester, President, John Woelki Vice-President, John Sherman, Secretary-Treasurer, Dale Fair, Bailiff, James Davis. Second semester, President, Eric Smith, Vice-President, Robert Mun- roe, Secretary, Beth Bowers, Treasurer, Hal Everett, Bailiff, John Christner. 16
