LAW FACULTY In addition to Dean Schuyler W. Jackson and Dean Emeritus Antrim M. Hambleton, the grand old man of the law school, there are three full professors who devote all of their time to the work of the school, supplemented by judges and down-town at- torneys, who are selected as recognized authorities in their particu- lar fields, as well as being familiar with the practice of law in general. The legal studies ot Washburn's embryo lawyers are also bene- fited by observation of the operation of the numerous state and federal courts in Topeka. The legislature meets at the state capitol, and the various state executive departments are housed in the capitol building, affording law students ample opportunity to ob- serve the functioning of all departments of the state government. Since its opening in downtown Topeka in l903, Washburn Law School has graduated over one thousand students. These gradu- ates have brought great credit to themselves, their profession, and their school. ANTRIM M. HAMBLETON A.M., LL.B. MRS. ELIZABETH BOWERS, LL.B. JAMES D. AHRENS, J.D. MARVIN E. LARSON, LL.B. 25

SCHUYLER W. JACKSON, A.B., LL.B. Dean and Professor of Law Book '7wa SCHOOL OF LAW Above the fireplace of the student lounge of Boswell Hall, below the picture of the im- mortal Blackstone, there are carved the words, HCARPE DlEM which rnean, Enjoy the in day. Perhaps nowhere on the Washburn campus is this motto being followed so zealously as in the School of Law. In Boswell Hall, more familiarly known as the law barn , almost three hundred students are now preparing to enter the legal profession. These legal eagles have the benefit of the law school's l8,000 volume legal library which is located on the firstfloor of Boswell Hall, and most of them have an opportunity to use the Kan- sas State Legal Library in the State Capitol.

Smith, LAW REVIEW BOARD WASHBURN BAR ASSOCIATION All Washburn law students are extended the op- portunity of membership in the Washburn Bar Associa- tion, the students' governing body. This group acts throughout the year in fostering better relations between law students in Washburn and the law profession of Topeka. Once a month a joint meeting is held with the Topeka Bar Association. The speakers at these meetings are men who are considered authorities on various branches of the law. Other activities of the Bar Associa- tion in this field are directed toward advertising Wash- burn Law School to attorneys and other interested per- sons throughout the state. Social activities for the year are highlighted with the first semester- Bench and Bar Prom, and the annual spring picnic. High scholastic achievement in the law school is rewarded by the Law Review Board. The activity of this group consists of work on ar- ticles for publication in the Kansas Bar Journal, the magazine of the Kansas Bar Association. In each issue space is reserved for the student articles, which are de- voted principally to a search through books and law cases, in an attempt to summarize the law of Kansas on points where it remains unsettled. The Law Review Board selects the articles to be published. The value of membership in this organization is de- rived by the wide coverage of this magazine to Kansas attorneys, The magazine is devoted principally to articles and speeches by recognized authorities upon various phases of the law. Editor was Dean Gibson, and Asst. Editor was Tom Hurst. FIRST ROW: T. Hurst, L. W. Pipkin, H. E. Robbins, Jr., D. L. Gibson, G. E, McCullough, J. RI-IPP, O, M. Stansbury. SECOND RONN: V.
