0 EDITORIAL I HIS volume represents our last appearance as a physical unit. Hence it is perhaps appropriate to retrospect for a moment. What have we accom plished in the last three years? Learned a little law and made a few friends. And now we are to disband. But is that all? Have we reached the parting nb, 0 Ill 4 4 of the ways-that inevitable parting which we have come to associate with our graduations from successive schools' and colleges? Is this farewell? Is this another meaningless step in the general direction of the future?-It is such only in retrospect. 4 For this is Commencement--in the real sense of the word. This gradua- tion represents no breach in pleasant relationships, no cessation of intellectual contacts. It is merely the signification of our concerted debut into the world of our choice-the legal world. But to what extent we are to retain our characteristics as an entity in this new world depends solely upon ourselves. And it is of this that we must think. y Let us face the facts. We are not entering a receptive world, we are not beginning from scratch with those who have come before us, we are not receiv- ing a cordial invitation from our harried older colleagues. We are entering an unequal struggle and will be required to shift for ourselves. . junless. . .we maintain our group solidarity. .- We are speaking of group solidarity in a restricted sense. To us it implies thinking as members of a homogeneous group striving for the common wel- fare, acting harmoniously for the common interest, and, wherever necessary, lending a helping hand. With these principles in mind I know that we shall meet again soon. Until that time- Good-bye and good luck, counsellor. j IsRAEL M. BELFER, Editor L 9 if
