G fees 1933 xg' Ek TO THE GRADUATING CLASS OF 1933 By LOUIS CHARLES WILLS Preyidenl, Alumni Affociulion. the Q N behalf of the Alumni Association, I am pleased to convey hearty con- 6 gratulations to the Graduating Class of 1933. By virtue of your graduation, you automatically become a member of the Alumni Association which comprises a membership of more than seven thou- sand Alumni. Your success in your chosen profession will depend, in a large measure, upon your friendships and acquaintances, and you can make no more important beginning than to resolve now to keep those already formed. It is only natural that the course of life will draw you in different direc- tions, and you will meet with various degrees of success. Cicero has well said, Friendship is the only thing in the World concern- ing the usefulness of which all mankind are agreedf, Your interest in the Alumni Association will afford a convenient ground for keeping your present friendships alive and will readily open the door to many others. The Annual Dinner brings out representative graduates since the forma- tion of the Law School and is an occasion which becomes increasingly im- portant with the years. The Alumni Association extends to each of you an invitation to take an active interest in promoting the objects of the Association and best wishes for success in all your undertakings.

P Q , ,Chancellor B rg r T9 STUDENT CGUNCIL HEN the presses printing these Yearbooks have been silenced, the Student Council will yet continue. The unhonored and unsung group, designated most fittingly as the Student Council, shall not have completed its appointed tasks. Consisting of the presidents of the various morning and evening sessions, it has emerged from a metamorphosis of experience as a truly representative body, reflective of student opinion-a body capable of conforming the in- dividuality of the student to the necessities of adminstrative regulation. From a lethargic assembly of either indifferent or absentee presidents, the Council has been transformed by an awakened desire for a fuller and richer social activity into a smoothly functioning and potent body. Under the kindly guid- ance of Vice-Dean Basterday, it has no small measure achieved its purposes. This year's Council has been fortunate in possessing four re-elected and experienced members, Jerome Prince, Bernard Brandt, Nathan Skolnik, and Alfred A. Chaison, The elections initiated into office Bernard Brandt, presi- dent, George L. Weisbard, vice-president, Isidore J. Rosen, secretary, and Jerome Prince, treasurer. Coping with the numerous demands from the individual classes for official recognition of social functions, the Council designated a representative com- mittee vvhich encouraged a more satisfactory participation in them by preventing a conflict of dates. Smokers were held in the Men's Lounge, dances were con- ducted in metropolitan hotels, dinners were cheerfully consumed by students who learned to understand that their classmates were more than mere occupants of seats. Warm and permanent friendships have been cemented. In this democratic spirit did the Council prepare for the junior Prom, the gala affair of the social calendar. A committee consisting of Alfred A. Chaison, Leo Margolin, and George L. Weisbard, prepared an affair to appeal to the students en masse. The results, of which more is written elsewhere, were 'highly gratifying. Graduating students, keenly aware of the sentimental value of a chronicle of their law school days, petitioned the Student Council for a yearbook. The Council acted. It chose a capable editor, an experienced staff. Time was of the essence, yet quality must not be sacrificed. The Council worked as a har- monious unit toward the publication of this most significant r6COrCl, and It fakes great pleasure in commending it for your approval. 0' Z f f f 6 Page One Hundred Tlnifleen
