Y t 1 TPAINTSTCDHJT 7 was spent on the origin and development of Chancery practice. From the study of English law, the class proceeded one step further and took up American Colonial law prior to the Revolution, then the law thereafterg the latter particularly in relation to the Constitution, codes and great American decisions. Some autobiographical reports were made upon eminent American jurists such as jay, Kent, Story and Marshall. The foregoing is apparently a formidable array of intellectual activity for only three evenings a week. However, in actuality such formidableness dis- appeared. Any unusual work such as this bear fruition in personal satisfaction, a larger grasp of the theory and philosophy of law and a better perspective of the held, wherein we have chosen the labor of our lives. The members of the post graduate class wish to extend to Mr. jackson, Mr. Smith and Dean Burke their thanks for contributing so much to the class' enjoyment of this year's instructive and interesting program. L 'envoy Farewell ye halls, ye classrooms dearly loved Ye quaint homely stairways, fare ye well, For henceforth shall we know your ways no more, But leave and take but memories to tell. Dear tranquil scenes of many joyful days And hours of hasty study for the nite, Spurred on by feverish tho'ts of Pickett's ways, Forewarned that we'd be called on to recite. Farewell ye many portraits on the walls Ye Thompson chairs and noisy squeeking doorg Gft though our hearts may crave that we return VV e leave you now behind forever more. Fellow classmates, ye go in unknown ways, Let not ambition mock your useful toil, The path of glory leads but to the grave, To heed, you but enslave your soul. Strive ye for useful duty to command, The Lures of gain and lucre to despiseg Scatter virtue o'er a smiling land, And read your history in a nation's eyes. Shun heraldry, the boast of pomp or power, Heap not the shrine of luxury and pride, Lest, to quench the blushes of ingenious shame The struggling pangs of concious truth you hide. Seek happiness in only useful ways, In quaint joys and knowledge oft obscure. Let not Grandeur make you fail to heed, The short and simple annals of the poor. Then in your ways there'll be little, as you know, To do with wealth and least of all with fame, But yet, there'll come unsought and with you grow And make for you, that priceless gem-a name. -L. C. TNTILLER-, 'Z6. 60 1926 y .J cf by VX! f?

! if 1 IPANQEKEDET , Class Offcers History of the Class of 1927 HERE is a land far away called Knowledge. Every year a great captain, whose name is Ambition, conducts a pilgrimage to that country. The way to this land is difficult, but once there, the trials and tribulations of the journey are forgotten. Those who have gone before refuse to reveal its secrets, but promise to all who shall go a satisfaction which cannot be found elsewhere. In spite of the arduous journey, Ambition is never without followers. So, as in previous years, in September, 1924, he set out on his annual tour, sur- rounded by many faithful followers, anxious to better themselves. At 6:30 the Whistle blew, and the boat was off-off on a tour which was to last for three years, bearing about seventy-live passengers, and manned by a never-to-be- forgotten crew. The first weeks out at sea were difficult ones. 'None of the passengers knew each other. The language was altogether strange to them, and it was some time before they could converse with each other fluently. Both this strangeness in time wore off and they began to feel at home on board the good ship Learning . In order to bring about a more friendly spirit they formed an organization, calling themselves the Class of 1927 of the Chicago-Kent College of Law, and elected the following leaders: David -Tames ...... . . . . . ...... President VVendell Tuohy ............ Vice President Anne Burrows .................... Secretary and Treasurer Frank Foley .......................... Sergeant-At-Arms. Under the auspices of these officers they gave two dances, which proved to be a great success and aided them in their purpose to become better acquainted. 62 . 1926
