Dedication . .. It is with great pleasure that we dedicate this volume to Mr. and Mrs. L. R. Knowles, the resident caretakers of the Law School building. Since the opening of Myron Taylor Hall in 1932 they, together with two custodfians, have been responsible for its care. The exceptionally good condition of the building after twenty years of constant use attests to the faithfulness with which they have performed their duties. The Knowles are long-time Ithaca residents. At one time Mr. Knowles was a con- ductor on the now legendary trolley that circuited the campus, and later was a boring mill operator in the Morse Chain Works. When the Knowles first came to work at the Law Building on May 23, 1932, the contractors were still working in parts of the build- ing and the concrete dust was still settling, but already the faculty were moving in. It was virtually one big family in those days with the very small law faculty and student body, but, according to the Knowles, the increased size of the school has not changed things in this respect. 2' The high regard in which the 'Law School students and faculty hold the Knowles is evidenced by the many Christmas cards, wedding invitations, and remembrances they receive each year from present and former members of the faculty and student body. Mr. and Mrs. Knowles are equally enthusiastic about the people they have worked for and with these twenty years. ln Mr. Knowles' own words: uOur praise canit be too high for the faculty, students, and the entire University? The announcement of the Knowles' retirement this June is received with regret by all of us who have had the pleasure of knowing them. But, since both are over seventy, we are glad to see them take a well earned rest. The Knowles also will be sorry to leave their work and home at Myron Taylor Hall. As Mr. Knowles put it: Mfiverything all the years we've been here has been very pleasant. The only reason for our retirement is that weire getting too old for the job. For their friendly spirit, for their accomplishments, interest, and sincere coopera- tion, this issue of the Barrister is dedicated to Mr. and Mrs. L. H. Knowles.
