We have atternpted with this iffue to revive the corpyef' That we have nzade it breathe only faintly haf been due neither to want of effort nor devotion to the job. In juytijication, we ack to be perrnitted to plead the excuxe of the neo- phyte and novitiate when faced with the task of pathflndin g and the inherent linzitationf of the Jubject rnatter. At bext, any atternpt to pre- yent the spirit of Brooklyn Law School in a periodical of thiy .fort is beset by the difficulties of the nzediunz. The further problem of the accelerated course of study hay rnade an adequate reprefentation of the .ftudent body, af an integrated and cohefive unit, well nigh irnpof- sible. We truct, nonetheleu, that for all of itx rnany defectf, thif publica- tion will .verve the purpofe for which it was created-af a perrnanent record for the graduate of the fellow Jtudentc with whonz he way privileged to Jpend thofe inzportant yearf preparatory to ernbarhing upon his choyen career.

I congratulate each of you on the success you have at- tained and the sound scholarship and stamina you have revealed. Each of you is now qualified to become a member of an ancient profession and to become an officer of the court. In that status you will have a threefold obligation 5 an obligation to the State, to your clients and to the Bench and Bar. A proper discharge of these obligations requires two fundamental qualifications, a high degree of integrity and a rea- sonably high degree of intellectual attainment. The lack of either is fatal. Intellect without integrity personifies knavery. Integrity without adequate intellect creates a sanctified cypher. I am hopeful that you will keep these basic factors and evaluations constantly in mind and that all of your future industry and efforts will be tempered and enriched by them. Mere learning and skill in the law without an educated conscience to keep them within due bounds have no practical value. Wfith them you can conform to the famous dictum of Chief justice Cockburn: The aim of an advocate is to know how to reconcile the interests of his clients with the eternal interests of truth and justicef, I, therefore, bespeak your joining in the famous lawyers prayer of Samuel johnson: enable me to attain such knowledge as may qualify me to direct the doubtful and instruct the ignorant, to prevent wrongs and terminate contentions, and grant that I may use that knowledge which I shall attain to Thy glory and my own salvation. I wish each of you this noble kind of success. WILLIAM B. CARSWELL, Dem Cgfze 4948 Gfzanceffor Page Four WILLIAM B.

The graduating class cannot say farewell to the members of the Faculty of the Brooklyn Law School without adding that we are grate- ful for the learning they have imparted to us and for the patient guid- ance with which they have led us through the intricate maze of legal lore. We thank them for having provided us with a happy combination of scholarship, discipline and inspiration in their role as teachers, and geniality, wit and encouragement in their role as friends in a never failing alchemy. Through the pleasantness of their association and the wisdom of their counsels, they have instilled in us the belief that life is a great and noble calling, not a mean and grovelling thing that we are to shuffle through as we can, but an elevated and lofty destinyf, C9419 4948 Gfzanceffof p,,geTen Faculty WILLIAM BROWN CARSWELI., LL.B., LL.D.

QHe risesj OES the defendant wish to make any statement before he hears the deter- mination of the Court? Your Honor, if it please the Court, I admit that there is much truth to the allegation that I have rarely returned home to my wife before midnight, and when I did arrive I locked myself in the basement until the most unseernly hour. I further admit that on Saturdays upon leaving the office at noon, I hasten to haunts unknown to my wife, and returned home only when dinner was cold and I was too tired to engage in those Saturday night activities customary among married couples. It is doubtless true that my violent uproars directed at fellow pedestrians on our Sunday afternoon walks, threatening as they did, dire legal recriminations, couched, however, in such abstruse phraseology that I was frequently taken for one suffering from dementia praecox and that this conduct in fact caused my wife great mental anguish. It cannot be denied that the few occasions on which the opportunity pre- sented itself to converse with my wife were so bereft of the normal pleasan- tries of marital chit-chat, and in fact so beyond the pale of her interest and her comprehension, that at first blush her charge of incompatibility would seem well taken. The point as to non-support too, does not seem unreasonable since, despite numerous favorable opportunities in the business world, I have persisted in maintaining a penurious clerkship and have depended on a trifling monthly pittance from a debt-ridden but benevolent Uncle. All things taken together the plaintiff appears to have made out a seem- ingly reasonable case for she has forcefully indicated that there is more than a mere suspicion of truth to the allegations that: lj my conduct has not made for compatibility in marriage. 25 that my tenuous conversational myopia is capable of engendering mental cruelty. BQ that my pitiful pursuit of pecuniary gain, ill compares with the uni- versally present opulence, and may well be termed non-support. All of this I admit, but one fact I plead in extenuation. I am a student of the junior class of Brooklyn Law School, deserving, if you will, of pity, but not chastisement nor ostracism from the fugitive joys of marital bliss. I ask only the patience and forbearance normally evidenced toward the child, the neophyte, the student. Culpablethough I am, your Honor, I pray this Court for a stay of the noble, the mighty, the merciful hand of justice, for a period of one year. H Q GACZ4'LCQ!!O4' PugeForlylwo Day Class of june, l9-49 UST one year ago, in june, 1947, our group of approximately 150 students entered the law school. Today, after struggling through a trying, sweltering summer, a terrifically cold and snowy winter and a mild spring, we ind our- selves at the halfway mark, with three terms passed and three before us. Our group is a varied one composed mainly of veterans, with every rank from private in the Army to Lieut. Commander in the Navy represented. Forty- one per cent are married, with more falling prey each passing week. Many of the married men, aside from coping with a strenuous curriculum of study are working afternoons in support of family. The students have received their pre-legal training in almost every major college in the United States and many have received degrees from these col- leges. Mr. Dimin is our most learned member having been exposed to NYU, Yale, Alabama, Mississippi and Brooklyn College before coming to Brooklyn Law School. Before entering the law school, these students pursued such professions as electrical engineering, music, accounting, chemistry, teaching and riding master at a dude ranch. Yet all of these people with such diversity of background are pursuing a common purpose-the practice of law. Having embarked on their law school careers, the members of the class have begun to gain recognition for their activity and esprit. Bill Fox, Jewell Burge and Bill Wingate werrelected class officers in the fall and represented us on the Student Council. Peter Visco was elected President of the Newman Club and with his associates organized a weekly public speaking practice session in the Newman Club Rooms. Irv Schiffman and a dozen other men from the class have been instrumental in forming a crack basketball team which has been taking on all challengers, playing on Friday afternoons at the Brooklyn Poly- tech High School gym. He is developing the nucleus for a school basketball team to participate with other law schools in a Law School League. jerry Kaplan and another large group have organized the Debate Council which has been attracting increasing numbers of students with every meeting. The Council was formed by the class originally to engage in intramural debates but has taken over the field of moot courts and other related forensic activities. Another club created by our class members is the Criminal Law Group wherein our future District Attorneys are trading knowledge and developing their background in criminal law. r And the future? Everyone is putting on the studying pressure so he won't be the next casualty Our successful incumbents will be found in the next year book. PageF011ylkree GACLFLCC2 Ol Evening Class of l95O HE evening class of 1950 started its law career in February, 1947, and numbered approximately eighty students of whom twenty have survived. During the past year its members have acquired friendships and memories ever- lasting, and their colleagues, who have fallen by the wayside, will never be for- gotten. The class wishes them success and prosperity in their respective fields of endeavor. The survivors are stubborn, rugged individuals who acquired their characteristics in the course of their training with the armed forces or in their dealings with the wife and kids. Fortified by such intensified training, it is conceivable that the group will survive despite the innumerable barriers set up by the faculty. A quick review of the class lineup will remove any doubts concerning its ability to attain its goal. The team consists of: Bercovitz-'KWants to be a Bachelor fof Lawsju Brodkin- His secretary does his worku Carroll- Junior DA. Chisholm- The question is ambiguous Sir Flanagan- This school needs more females Garber - Another Accountant-what can you expect Glazer- Gotta do my homework Katz- Did the second bell ring La Rose- Three of them and still going strong MacDonald- Forget the text. This is the law Malin- The man with a counterdefense to a counterdefensen Marotta - Sir, My notes aren't clear Poland - Unprepared Sir Quinlan - I deserve an A, but I'll settle for a C Reed - Sweated out a final while his wife gave birth Slavin - Wants an heir but may get the air Steinroder- My wife forgot to do my homework Tese - Hizzoner-The Judge Vinik- Its either true or false Young- I had a cigar for you but. . Certainly the astuteness of the class removes any doubts as to its ability to sweat it out for another two years. Generally speaking, the group adores C9718 1948 Glzanceffor p4g,,p0,,,,fW school and hates interference with its attendance via holidays, vacations, and weekends because its members miss that old tired feeling, the thrill of reading cases on the subway, eating on the run, cramming for the finals and sweating it out for the grades. They miss the sweet, soothing voices of the gentle mem- bers of the faculty, and the kindness to which they have become accustomed. They miss the thrill of being called upon to recite, and the ecstasy of replying Unprepared Sir. Wluat further evidence is required to prove beyond a rea- sonable doubt that the class will be around for their sheepskins in 1950. To the members of the graduating class, the class of 1950 extends its heartiest congratulations, and best wishes for their success and prosperity. The fond memories and everlasting friendships acquired by them throughout their years at law school will never be forgotten. The entire student body deserves a great deal of praise for their combined efforts to close the gap which has long existed among the various races of the world, by their intimate friend- ships with classmates regardless of race, color or creed. The members of the faculty deserve a vote of thanks for being most considerate of the student's needs, and for their ability to understand and develop within students, greater insight into their problems. Tdthe members of the faculty and the entire student body, the class of 1950 says 'KWell Done. lageforfyzve 5-AQ G!lCLI7,CQ!!OI lireshrnan Evening, Class of 95l HE Freshman class was oriented into the field of law the first week of school, with a detailed survey of the background, standards, and.. .per- haps. . .a glimpse into the future of our profession-to-be. Our first week was a blur of exciting impressions, the large and rather impressive Qalbeit mustyj auditorium, with the City sky silhouetted in its windows, its sloping wooden chairs and echoing, amphitheatre-like appearance, the overwhelming Freshman class QCollege was never like thislj and the scholarly judge Carswell who delivered to us our initial lectures. We were busy, but only momentarily, it seemed, with the bustle of making new, and we are sure, lifelong friends, and with the pleasure of discovering ffor some of usj old acquaintances among the gang.', Then we were plunged into the intricacies of Contract Law and Business Organization. Those responsible for bringing order out of chaos during those first months were the benevolent Mr. Snyder, always calm and often humorous, and the stim- ulating Prof. Sugarman. We enjoyed most the times when Mr. Snyder, in Con- tracts, became sufficiently excited during a heated discussion to step down from the platform which somewhat isolated our professors from us, to pace the floor before us, while arguing a moot point. And after we got over our initial intellectual rustiness, our minds got quite a working out in Prof. Sugarman's Wednesday class, where giving a case was something like balancing on a mental tightrope while attempting to juggle adjectives. We found friends and formed groups almost at once. We were startled by our imperturbable class president, who was quick on the come-back every time, . . .a little skeptical of the two students who were always prepared, and charmed by the five girls, Qincreased to seven the second semesterj, who were given bull's-eye seats in second row, center. We are coming increasingly to realize, however, as the months advance during our first term at Law School, that our profession is a solemn and an important one. In this year of decision, one of many to come, law will form the framework for the world system of government we dare to hope will be realized. And we, as future lawyers, will hope also to be instrumental in the formation of these solemn years. Cgze 1948 Ghcznceffor Pagarmyax Freshman Evening FIRST YEAR FALL ours, JUNE, is 1 UDGE Carswell welcomed the incoming class. There were a great many faces we recognized in the group and we found new friends, too. We were duly impressed by the great number of students and the large auditorium fand the lowered lights seemed calculated to increase our awej. YW e covered Law from the Egyptians on down, in four sessions! On the fourth night we moved out of the auditorium and a great change came over us. Room 300 had a direct wire from the building across the street, and so all of us were able to see our notes for the first time, due to the improved lighting. There was, however, an abominable system of complete, absolute, and prejudicial class segregation in room 300. It seems that all the female students were put in the second row. I guess that's why all the boys in the front turned around when they recited. AND, the guy and the gal sitting next to each other at the end of the female section turned out to be brother and sister. That first Thursday we started to study Contracts. 'XWe had a large class, but due to the pace some of us fell by the wayside, in fact, in no time at all our numbers were sadly reduced. Studiousness increased after the first time we were called upon, and discovered, alas, that we had forgotten to include the decision of each court in Out notes! We thought we were going to be engrossed in legal studies, but actually we were engrossed in prayer. Please God, let the instructor call on Hal Schwartz, or Dillon, or Goldstein, or Seftel, or even on our 'shining light' Garvey. But donlt let him callon me. Our faith in the power of prayer was only shaken a few times. The few times each of us was called on. Prof. Coleman taught us Business Organization I on Wfednesday evenings. He assigned us as agents to do the homework, and we went into partnership with the briefs. We learned that an administrator is like an executor. fSee I Blackls Law Dictionary 3rd 6Oj. Vice Dean Prince is in charge of administration, or execu- tions. I-Ie gave us a very interesting talk one evening in the auditorium, about soldiering during the Indian Wars. Finals were taken or rather we were taken,' by the finals, on a Friday and Saturday evening. The survivors began Property I the Monday after the Saturday Contracts exam. Finals are given in the auditorium, we discovered, because the lighting is so poor that you can hardly see your own paper, let alone your neighborsl. The school is contemplating the addition of extra seats in the auditorium so that during the next exams, students will be five seats apart instead of three. This term, our instructors in Property I and Contracts 2 are Profs. Maloney and Thornton, respectively, and in the order named. We have nothing but the best to say about them, God Bless Them Both. After all, this was written two months before the end of the term. plgeF01lyre11en G!laf1Ce !Ol Freshman Day Class ol: Ilan. 951 I-IE past months have been ones of mixed emotions to the approximately 120 students who entered upon the study of the law last September. To many it was the first attempt at re-conversioni'-from recently discharged G.I., Gob, or Leatherneck, to the ever expanding group of students complet- ing their education which had remained in a state of suspended animation during the war years. Signs of restlessness during orientations on the historical background of the Law-the nervous tension during the early days of classes when your lucky,' seat number was called for a recitation on the doctrine of third party beneficiary in Contracts or attractive nuisance theory in tort liability -the quaint expressions of endearment showered upon the volunteer -were all reflections of the recently completed tour of duty for Uncle Sam! I As you have been able to gather, we are not very much different from the many other classes at the school. We have the same hopesg we share the same excruciating agonies of exam-preparation. We do fall prey to the cross-examina- tion of an instructor on The ONE day that I did not prepare my cases. Yes, we are made of the same stuff as those to Whom this book is being dedicated-with one exception. They have proved themselves in the field of study-we have yet to show our full abilities. And so we of the class of janu- ary, 1951 take our hats off to the graduating classes and extend our sincerest wishes to them for future success in the world of tomorrow.

Student Council DURING the war years, the activities of the Student Council were neces- sarily curtailed. In 1945 under the leadership of Irwin Taylor, who was then president of the Student Council, a program of activity was started which has gained momentum with each succeeding year. In 1946 William Foley, and in 1947 jere Sullivan, continued this good work until once more the Student Council has become an important factor in Brooklyn Law School. It may be of interest to those who knew them that Irwin Taylor is now a member of our faculty, Bill Foley is an assistant district attorney in Kings County, and jere Sullivan is resident counsel to American Chicle Company. Witlmout the active help and co-operati-on which we have received from Vice Dean Jerome Prince, we would have been unable to make the Student Council the force in the school which it is today. The sympathetic understandf ing and interest of our faculty advisor, Professor Martin Weyrauch, has been of great help in meeting the various problems which have arisen. I During the past year, the Council has continued its program of bringing cgze 4948 Gfzanceffor pagepiffyfw before the students various speakers who are connected with the legal profes- sion in some capacity. They have succeeded, to some degree, in calling to the attention of the students some of the practical problems which they will meet in the practice of the law. This phase of the Council's activity has served to encourage the formation of various clubs which will devote their attention to specific phases of the law. Presently functioning are a Criminal Law and a Labor Law Club. During the next year, we hope the student body will form other clubs with similar objectives. The organization of an employment unit for the purpose of contacting members of the alumni and also large organizations which employ people with legal training has been initiated by the Council. There is still much work to be done on this matter, but we feel that if it is successfully continued, it will be of assistanceto our present students. The record enrollment in all law schools throughout the country underscores the need for an employment unit. On the social side, we had our first Spring Dance at the Hotel Vanderbilt which gave our long suffering spouses and friends an opportunity to meet the students they had heard so much about. We hope that all these activities will be continued and that other 'suggestions of merit will be developed in the future. The effective work of tl3ouncil could not have been accomplished with- out an integrated membership which worked together as a unit, and for the most part, enthusiastically helped to make our various activities successful. We extend our thanks to the individual students who supported our efforts thereby indicating their interest through active participation. Without the support and interest of the student body, the Student Council would have little significance in the affairs of the school. It is to be hoped that in the coming years, the students will continue to give the Council their active support, and in return the Council will give that kind of program which will be vital to the students. page Flff-j'f!71E'6 cgfze 1948 Gfianceffof BrOOlilyn Law Review EDITORIAL BOARD LEONARD GARMENT . . .

Weiss HE Brooklyn Law Review resumed publication in February, 1947 after a five year war-suspension period. Under the aegis of faculty advisor Prof. Milton G. Gershenson and student editor I. Leo Glasser, the Review at once recaptured the spirit which had already won a place for it in the field of legal publications. Leading articles by judge Harold Kennedy and by former Professor Jay Leo Rothschild on various aspects of Federal and State procedure highlighted the first issue, supplemented by skillful analyses of recent New York decisions by student members of the Editorial Board. Succeeding issues have maintained this high standard of quality both in content and composition. ln theshort period since publication was resumed, reprints of leading articles have appeared in the American Bar Association journal, in the Insurance Bul- letin, and in the Commerce Clearing House publications. The function of the Review is a dual one: It is a source of legal education for the professional and student reader, and it serves as a training ground for the student editors and staff members, where the priceless techniques of legal research, analysis, and writing are developed under conditions which most closely approximate professional work. Student candidates are required to achieve an honors average as a prerequisite to their appointment. It is hoped that the near future WMEHK broader base to the Law Review with more ex- tensive opportunities for student participation, perhaps via the organization of an intramural law review organized by the various classes. The current issue of the Review contains leading articles dealing with the New York Civil Practice Act Revision of 1946, with the attempt to remedy un- fair competition in the Federal jurisdiction 5 a discussion of overlapping tort and contract problems, and the continuation of a scholarly thesis by West Vir- ginia University's Professor Albert S. Abel on Trade and Traffic Regulation Before Gibbons 11. Ogden. Student articles and case reports and a group of interesting Book Reviews supplement the leading contributions. Continued interest and support by the student body and alumni is a sine gunz non of Law Review development. Readers of the Review should require little urging in this direction.

Though small in number, the membership is keen in its enthusiasm and interest in the field. Cognizant of the growing importance of the field of labor law and aware of the need for competently trained individuals to cope with the intricacies of this field of law, the membership plans through mutual discussion to familiarize itself with the field of labor law by developing its background, analyzing past and present labor legislation, reviewing and interpreting the adjudications of the courts, and following current trends. The first meetings have been devoted to organization-getting acquainted, writing a constitution, and making plans for the many animated meetings to follow. A prominent labor attorney and alumnus of the Brooklyn Law School has already expressed interest in the Club's activities, and plans have been made for him to address the group. cgfre 1948 Gftcznceffor pageafffym Debate Council OFFICERS Preridemf . . . ........... . . .

Designed to further the forensic interests of law students, the group under the guidance of Professor Milton Gershenson, hit upon the Moot Court plan as the most valuable and effective method of providing training in speaking ability as well as in legal research. The two Moot Court sessions which have already been undertaken have amply demonstrated the wisdom of this choice of medium and have proved invaluable to those who participated. Mr. Thornton of the faculty presided over the sessions. Plans are in the offing for inter-law school competitions and a widely ex- tended program for succeeding semesters. Committees are busily engaged in working out details. Some of the problems will include the mechanics of brief writing, legal research and addressing a Court.

Instead of listening to a lecture on the finer points of the law, they were present at the lst Annual Spring Dance which was sponsored by the Student Council at the Della Robbia room. at the Hotel Vanderbilt. For the first time in many years a school func- tion was held outside the school building and- its success means that this affair will become one of the looked for events in succeeding school years. Here are some of the highlights of the dance. The WOMEN-never in one room had there been so many beautiful girls. All of the latest Parisian styles were shown and some of the liner intellects among us had a field day trying to discover how those strapless gowns stayed up. Although she didnit wear a strapless gown, that blonde with the bare midriff received many a side glance. Couldn't make it too direct or her companion wouldn't have liked it and what would have been worse, our wives, or fiancees would have disowned us on the spot. Lenny Garment, the editor of the Law Review, led the orchestra in the cgfze 4948 Glzanceffor Pageswy playing of latest dance music. If you don't think that he's got a monopoly on the School's music business, wait 'til you see who plays at the Commencement Exercises.

Ask Tom Dent if you want to know if they ever found it. Phone calls were put through every 30 minutes to find out if the baby sitter was still on the job. Lots of daddies and mommies came to the dance, but the thought of junior being at home with a stranger meant that constant checking was necessary. It was a novelty discovering that the person sitting next to you could discuss something else besides the Bank of Batavia Rule fMerritt had to get into this somehowj or the new R.C.P. 92 which was adopted in February, 1948 fthose taking the june bar will please take noticej. This was our last chance to get together as students. Those who came had a grand timeg let's get together again. An opportunity to do so will come when we are asked to join the Alumni Association. Here's hoping that the class joins en masse so we won't lose touch with the friends who went to school with us.

WINSTON HIBBERT HE LIU Law Club, an organization of Brooklyn Law School students formerly of Long Island University, is the only functioning college Law Club of perhaps half a dozen Law Clubs existing before the war. Our active membership includes students attending all sessions of the school. Our most important work is done through our Scholarship Committee, whose Chairman is Alfred Lucia. It selects L.I.U. students each year to compete for a one year, complete tuition scholarship from Brooklyn Law School. Two students were awarded scholarships last year. Our purpose within the school is to give our members the benefits obtain- able only through organization, and to attain that goal by building upon the basis of former attendance at the same undergraduate school. As guest speakers, we have had lectures from Professor Arthur Block on How to Pass an Examination-and Related Mattersn and from practicing at- torneys illustrating the practical application of legal theory. Our aim for the future is to become as active as we were before the war when our link with both the Law School and Long Island University was so strong that we had lecturing professors from both schools, and conducted socials at which both were represented. Sometime before the Fall Semester commences we intend to convene all LIU, students planning to make a career of the law at which meeting we will discuss the various phases of legal education and encourage their matriculation.

WEINMAN HE Brooklyn Law School Division of the Students Section of the National Lawyers Guild held its nrst meeting on November 17, 1947, and was granted a charter by the National Convention of the Guild held in Chicago in February, 1948. The Brooklyn Division now has over 50 members, and is growing. It was represented by two delegates, Saul Nadel and Hans Johansen, at the Chicago convention of the Guild, where they helped to form a National Student Divi- sion, in conjunction with the Divisions in other law schools throughout the country. The Division has Committees for Legal Research, Publicity, Entertain- ment and Placement. The Placement Committee has already begun to secure employment, part and full time, for its members, through the cooperation of the New York City Chapter of the Guild, with which the Brooklyn Division has the most cordial relations. Faculty Advisor for the Brooklyn Division is Professor Bernstein. Mr. O. John Rogge and Mr. Osmund K. Fraenkel, national vice-presidents of the Guild and eminent authorities on civil liberties, have spoken to the students at open membership meetings of the Division. Miss Marion Wynn Perry, Counsel for the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and a member of the Board of Directors of the New York City Chap- ter of the Guild, has also addressed the membership. On April 24, the Brooklyn Division, in conjunction with those at N .Y.U. and Columbia, sponsored a highly successful theatre party at the Cort Thea- tre, the attraction being Sartre's The Respectful Prostitutef' The Guild itself is a liberal Bar Association, active in the defense of civil rights and in the interests of attorneys. It has filed briefs amicus curiae on law school segregation and the restrictive covenant cases recently decided by the Supreme Court, among many others. Its New York City Chapter president is Judge Nathan R. Sobel, of Kings County Court. Cgfte 4948 Gfranceffor Pagesmmy FRATERNITIIES Delta Theta Phi Dean.. ........ Vzre-Dean .............

Since the date of amalgamation the fraternity has grown to the extent that it now has chapters in all the leading law schools in America. Today there are sixty chapters or senates throughout the country. The primary and motivating purpose of Delta Theta Phi's being has been to instill in the law student his duty as a lawyer to society and to fellow mem- bers of the legal profession. The fraternity has always encouraged and re- warded high scholastic standing. It promotes good citizenship and integrity of character as fundamental ideals and proclaims good fellowship to be the dy- namic core of fraternal life. The Alexander Hamilton Senate is the Brooklyn Law School Chapter of Delta Theta Phi. It has an active membership of twenty-four members and also an organized graduate body. The Senate offers its members the use of its library and rooms for purposes of studyg paramount interest being in scholar- ship. The Senate holds monthly meetings to which are invited notable members of the profession, as well as laymen, to lecture upon and discuss many of the practical problems that face a practicing lawyer today. . Social activities are an integral part of the senate. The club in addition to its everyday activities has held several smokers throughout the year for prospec- tive members. It is now planning its annual fall dance. The war years saw a great depletion in the ranks of Delta Theta Phi, but in this past year the deficiency has been made up by virtue of active leadership and participation. The Senate is rapidly approaching normalcy and is once again taking its place in Brooklyn Law School and Delta Theta Phi.

Through the years it has maintained a place of eminence in the law school as a result of its activities, its scholarship standards, and its cooperation with school activities. The objects of Iota Theta are fraternal, social, and intellectual in scope. They include, briefly, the development of intellectual and social unity among its members, the promotion of higher ethical standards, good faith and har- mony in the conduct of their professional work among members of the legal profession and the promotion of the interchange of ideas tending toward the advancement of the science of the law. Toward these ends, Iota Theta, in the past, has been extremely active in sponsoring forums, radio programs, debates, round table discussions, lectures and many other activities open to the general public as well as students and members of the legal profession. Today among its several thousand alumni these same men who were so active in their undergraduate days are bringing further honor to Iota Theta and themselves as Congressmen, governmental of- ficials, judges, Professors of Law, and successful and respected members of the bar. During the war years Iota Theta's activities were necessarily curtailed for reasons common to other civilian activities, and mainly for the reason that prac- tically all of its members were in the various armed services of our country. At present we are trying to rebuild and re-establish our usual expansive activities. . The first problem, that of increasing our ranks, is being solved by the in- duction of undergraduates of high scholastic standing in keeping with the tradition of the fraternity. The problems of re-establishing active contact with our alumni, and replenishing our treasury, were effectively initiated through the efforts of Past Praetor Primus Bernard Wolf f'29j and Prater Irving J. Applebaum, who conceived and effectuated, with the aid of Fratres Morris Sbinowitz and Leon Dusewitz, the combined Graduate Convocation and Induc- tion Dinner held in the Mirror Ballroom of the Brass Rail Restaurant on De- cember 12, 1947. This affair served to induct some twenty new men into our ranks, and, due to the encouraging turnout of alumni, to renew our bonds of fraternity with the men who preceded us, and, incidentally, to swell our coffers by several hundreds of dollars contributed by our alumni. Among those present and participating as honored guests were Congressman A. J. Multer, Judge J. J. Schwartzwald and Judge M. M. Weclut, Vice Dean Prince, Founders Percy Freeman and Samuel Brettler, and many other prominent Iota Theta men. With the funds obtained through this affair, Alpha Chapter is now in the process of reupholstering and refurnishing its Sanctum in the law school build- ing. Prominent among plans for the immediate future is the dedication of our library to the memory of Professor Edwin Welling Cady, who as a frater, teacher, and as a man so deeply inspired and influenced all those who had the privilege of knowing him in the paths of learning and humanity. So guided by its ideals, and in the bonds of fraternity, Iota Theta looks to the future with confidence and hope. Pm Semi rw cgfie 1948 Gfzanceffor MEMBERS Cgfre 4948 .Phi Delta Phi HAROLD A.

Witschieben Page S evenly-.fix HI Delta Phi Fraternity, Evarts Inn, founded in 1904 has had a long and varied history. It has played an important role in the student life of the Law School. Many graduates of this School who have attained positions of note have been members of Evarts Inn, Phi Delta Phi. Among this group are john Ben- nett, '26, Deputy Mayor of New York City, Thomas Cuff, 112, New York State Supreme Court Judge, joseph Conroy, '16, former judge in Queens County Court, Peter Horn, '24, New York City Magistrate, Harold Kennedy, IZ3, Fed- eral Iudge, George Matheson, '17, Dean of St. johns University Law School, Quentin Reynolds, '50, international correspondent, Thomas Towers, '06, New York City Court judge. These are just a few of those who have played an important part in our civilization. Others not mentioned here have contributed in ways equally as important to our civilization in these United States. During the past school year many successful smokers have been carried out by the Brooklyn Law School Chapter of Phi Delta Phi. A number of faculty members have attended and participated in the festivities. Among the faculty members present were Professors Block, Flouton, Gershenson, Maloney, Mur- phy, Sealy and Weyrauch. Evarts Inn was represented by William E. Doherty, past Magister and Fred- eric E. Strong, Exchequer, at the 28th Convention of Phi Delta Phi which was held at Many Glacier Hotel, Glacier National Park, Montana, from September 5rd to 6th, 1947. Phi Delta Phi had a truly fine group representing many of its chapters which are located in colleges extending from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from Canada to the Gulf of Mexico and the Mexican Border. The annual initiation was held on April 17, 1948 at the Chapter rooms of the Fraternity and several new members were initiated into the Inn. The initia- tion ceremonies were followed by a banquet at the Hotel Bossert. Evarts Inn, Phi Delta Phi, has made a Hne recovery from the lean years of World War II. The fraternity can now boast of a sound financial standing and a membership that would be a great asset to any thriving fraternity. Among its members there are humorists, scholars, organizers and dynamic personalities. These men, too, will make lasting impressions on their generation.

GERALD SINGER ARLY in October, 1947, a national law fraternity with few eastern chap- ters sent letters to New York law schools inviting students to form chap- ters. Here, at Brooklyn Law School, Morton Fried began the organization of some two dozen students of all races and creeds preparatory to forming a chapter of the fraternity. After two months of preliminary work the group elected Melvin Cagan, Chancellor, Vernon Weekes, Vice-Chancellor, Arthur Selznick, Exchequer, jerry T. Fletcher, Scribe, Victor Cohen, Scrivener, and Gerald Singer, Sergeant-at-Arms. An executive committee was also elected. A constitution having been drafted and adopted, mostly through the dili- gent labors of Melvin Heiko, Ronald Cohen, and Gerald Halpern, a delegate was sent to the national convention of the fraternity in Baltimore, Md., the week-end of March 26-8, 1948. After much consultation, our group found the national fraternity to be unacceptable because of its mode of organization. Rather than reorganize in accord with the standards imposed by the nHtiOf121l organization the members decided to form independently. The name chosen was Beta Nu Epsilon. Committees to carry on the various phases of the fraternity's work were appointed as provided for in Beta Nu Epsilon's constitution, and a ladies' auxi- liary is in a formative stage. Beta Nu Epsilon looks forward to a long and useful existence in Brooklyn Law School. glle 194 8 G!LCZl'lCQ!!OI' Page Sevenzy ezglal Roster . BARON, LESTER ALAN ...... BERMAN, MISS MAXINE S.. . . .
