GRISSIM H. WALKER A.B., Cumberland University LL.B., Harvard University DEAN of LAW SCHOOL CUMBERLAND UNIVERSITY LEBANON. TENNESSEE SCHOOL OF LAW The School of Law has experienced another good year and we look confidently to the fu- ture. The high light of the year was the observance of the first Law Day in the history of the University. Many alumni and friends were in attendance and the day was acclaimed by all who participated as a tremendous success. It is our intention that henceforth Law Day will be an annual event. Our best wishes go with the Seniors as they enter upon their legal careers. They have worked diligently and we are confident they will meet with much success. Like the distinguished alumni that have preceded them, we are expecting them to bring honor to their Alma Mater through the service they are destined to render. Sincerely, GRISSIM H. WALKER Dean
