For many weeks and months these men studied the catalogs of different schools and the inducements of each. Finally, after comparing honor rolls, costs, course of study, and all other things that make a school, they decided that the Lebanon Law School was the proper place to attend. September 8 was registration day. Each fellow went about the necessary prepara- tions with so much enthusiasm that by night on that day all necessary preparations were made for work. On September 9 the opening services were conducted at Caruthers Hall. Judges Beard and Chambers both made able addresses, followed by a few short talks by some of the prominent citizens of the to Ti. Then assignments were made for the next day. The first recitation was held on the morning of the 1 0th. It was not a perfect one, of course, because each fellow was studying his new surroundmgs more than he was his books. On September 20 a reception was given by the town in the Y. M. C. A. hall at the dormitory. For the first time the ice of social entrance was really broken, and the embryo lawyers from that time made themselves at home in Lebanon. Things now ran smoothly until a few weeks before the national election on November 2. Then the Republicans and Democrats of the school began to treat each other as jealous lovers. Warm discussions became as frequent as meals. Messrs. Tolbert, Riggs and Biggs were finally recognized as the leaders of the Republicans. Messrs. Walton, McClendon, Kensinger and Jones were the recognized leaders of the Democrats. Each party formed their clubs. The Democratic Club elected Mr. C. E. Kensinger president. Mr. J. A. Tolbert was elected president of the Republican Club. No one fought, but on the morning of November 3 the Democrats were silent and gloomy, the Republicans silently joyful. The fight was over, the climax passed. But this political fight brought out the fact that W. O. Walton was to succeed Henry W. Grady as the South ' s idol, that Mr. McClendon was to be a factor in national democ- racy, that Mr. Jones would some day be the Patrick Henry of the West. It proved also that Mr. Tolbert was the future Abe Lincoln of the U. S., and that Messrs. Riggs and Biggs would some day give the Democrats trouble in Tennessee. The fight proved clearly that there were reserved seats in Congress for both factions of the class and that they would som: day have another chance of friendly combat in the capitol of the nation. The class did not complete their organization as juniors until November 15. At this time there were no hard fights for class honors, but none of the officers elected could boast of any large majority. Mr. Burke was elected president by a majority of two votes over Mr. Ivy. Mr. Dalbey was elected vice-president, Mrs. McCouan was elected secretary. Miss Packer, treasurer. With these officers the Junior Class continued its career. The students now stormed the works of Blackstone, Kent, Greenleaf, Story and others, bravely, until the spirit of Christmas began to fill the air. Then visions of home, mother, sweethearts and friends sitting around tables loaded for the Christmas feasts began to come to each member of the class. On December 4 the homeward bound were led by Mr. Bond, and by December 22 there were only twelve or fifteen left to hear Judges Page fourteen
