c5? Sood-bye to the Glass of une ig y Bv EDWARD T. LEE, DEAN • • • • It was one of the largest classes in the history of The John Marshall Law School that enrolled in September, 1934, and became the June class of 1957; and while the personnel of the class has since that time been changed by the sub- traction of original students and addition of new students, the number has kept up un- usually well. The average age and maturity of this class exceeded the average of our classes ; and this has resulted in a higher level of schol- arship and a more regular attendance than the average class. While it came in like a lion it is by no means going out like a lamb, and its tone has become quite harmonious. Those who have had the privilege of appearing before the class as lecturers and instructors have formed a highly favorable impression of the class as a whole. As a body of young men and women no school could ask for a better or more re- sponsive group. They have become welcome members of the increasing family of the school, and though the time has now come for their de- parture and their physical separation from the classrooms and library of the school, those who have had the valued e.xperience of associating with the members of the class readily acknowl- edge the stimulating benefit of their presence, their co-operation, and the helpful attrition with the class in its different sessions. Speaking for myself and the office staff of the School, I believe I can truly say that we have all greatly enjoyed the association we have had with the class of June, ' 37 and with its many members: and we unite in the fervent hope that good fortune may await each and every member of the class, and that the asso- ciation begun here may be renewed in frequent meetings of the alumni in the future. f-fiiT Page Twenty-seven
