Gentlemen:- Not only common courtesy, but my own impulses dictate some response to your favor of the llth inst., which I received this morning. I only wish---and how earnestly, only I myself can know---that I were justly entitled to the praise to which your letter gives such handsome and undeserved expression. But waiving any disclaimer of my right to such a compliment, I must say to the members of the class of 1907 that I have been deeply touched by this evidence of what I hope may be regarded as your friendship for me. Too often these flowers of appre- ciation or flattery are tardily laid upon the casket, who unconscious of their perfume, but happily for are offered while I can enjoy to the full their fragrance. inmate is me, yours exquisite Believe me, young gentlemen, your gracious letter will stimulate me to renewed enthusiasm in the work of assisting the students of the school to sink in their minds, deep and strong, that knowledge of the elemental principles of law, which consti- tutes the indispensable foundation upon which the high- est attainments in the profession must rest. Thanking you from the bottom of my heart, and with best wishes for each member of the class, I am, A Yours most sincerely, SANFORD B. LADD. gg- S 1907 6 MR. SANFORD B.

During the twelve years of our existence many of the leadings members of the Kan- sas City bar have instructed in the class room and given their time and energy to our institution. Judge Black, one ol' our founders and our first president, has passed away, but his memory is still fresh with us, and we are still reaping the benefit of his infiuence. lt is just ten years since the first graduating' class, fresh with the energy of youth, entered upon their careers as members of the bar. Many of them are already taking a leading rank, not only at the bar, but also in other fields of work. Their names are found among the judiciary, as members of state legislatures, and as administrative of- Iicers of states, counties and cities. The Kansas City School of Law was organized in 1895. For some years prior thereto there were many young men in our city who were anx- ious to join the ranks of the legal profession, but who had neither the time nor the money to go to a distant law school. Therefore, it seemed propitious at that time to start in our midst a regular law school for the study of the law. Therefore, in pursuance of such a call the following members of the Kansas City har: Judge Francis M. Black, Mr. Oliver H. Dean, Mr. Sanford B. Ladd, Judge Edward L. Scarritt, Judge Edward H. Stiles. Mr. R. J. lngraham, Mr. James H. Harkless, Mr. John W. Snyder, Mr. William P. Borland, Mr. Elmer N. Powell and Mr. Edward D. Elli- son met and organized the Kansas City School of Law. The demand for such a school and the tireless energy of its founders and their suc- cessors is what has made the school a success. The enrollment for the first year was Iifty-seven, and the first graduating class of the school, which was in the second year of the schoolls existence, numbered twenty-sev- en. The school in every way has improved in every respect since that time. The course of instruction has been lengthened from two to three years. The membership of the faculty has been increased from tive to twenty-two. Last year there were fifty-six grad- uates, and there are at p1'esent one hundred and seventy-six students in attendance. The school has not only maintained a high standard, but furthermore has strictly lived up to such standard, and with good men and hard work it is the purpose of the school to he the leading law school in the West. . 13, 2 aj CMJ gwwvuiyv Q Qi: Iij ffflwf ff W 'MMP fm! all-fc,' ' f ,db 49' ,R -H X -ddlix -lvl' 4 f K 112 - ' V f W W5 ' W fffv ITM, xx.

' W I4 MQ L I SENIOR CLASS HISTORY , As the evening of our school day deepens into the lengthening shadows of the twi- light, it is with many pleasing recollections that we dwell in retrospection upon the well nigh finished task. It is with a feeling, mingled with regret and pleasure, that we view the close, regret in that it ends a pleasant intercourse with men whose honesty of pur- pose, whose vigor of determination, and whose ever ready cordiality has left a place within the sanctuary of memory that will long be green with pleasing recollections. There is, however, pleasure in the contemplation in that we feel that something has been accomplished. Whatever of the great principles of the law we may have been able to make a part of ourselves, whatever of legal acumen may be ours as a result of our three years of professional training, it can be of no greater value to us than the wholesome association that has been ours, with such men as have constituted the class of 1907. Who is there among us who could forget the idea of perspicuity instilled by the dauntless Skinner in his prolonged endeavor to make a lucid demonstration of the pre- liminary and final arrangements for the inter-collegiate debateg or who in the years to come, when the sharp tongue of sarcasm will have made him wince with a consciousness of a too well directed bolt, will not, while the laugh goes round, imagine that down through the years he hears the fog-horn cadence of the illustrious Staggers breathing in his ear, I'll bet that cut 'im, or imagine the look of supreme satisfaction trans- formed to one of unspeakable surprise as it raises or lowers upon the hideous physiog- nomy of the pugnacious agitator. The record of our past is indeed secure. No other class has ever broken half so many window lights, no other class in its sonorous debates has been able to substitute so much of concussion for discussion, or hide in the mantle of sincerity so much of uncom- promising, bald-faced and monumental grand-standing, neither have they been able to pile the chairs half so high, in those private gatherings known in law school parlance as A rough house. Nor are these the only claims to distinctiong for there is another count in the petition that we believe establishes a substantial claim of title. In our ability to rough the Freshmen we have been without a pier in the history of the school. In the selection of fragrant perfumes and smelling salts with which to anoint the altar of the Freshman sanctuary, we have transcended all known smells heretofore known to chemistry, and have left for the soothing of their olfactory equipment such fragrance as Florida's blooming shores ne'er wafted to the ravished nostrils of Ponce De Leon, and to be compared with which the pungency of a striped polecat would seem like the frag- rance of a violet bed. ,151 l N S J SENIOR CLASS HISTORY Continued To the class of '07 also belongs the distinction of asserting its prerogative in the matter of class organizationg for it was through its discernment and prompt action that the smallness of a school FratH was exposed, and it was through the sterling democratic spirit of its majority that the brand of disapproval was placed upon any secret organi- gation seeking by indirection, duplicity and small shrewdness to dictate through the voice of a few of the select the machinery Of class organization. Nor did it cease with the verdict of ouster in its proceeding of quo zz'fz1'rcz1z.to, but inflicted the supreme pen- alty, and stretched upon the fence its punctured epidermis as a grim reminder to any who might in future years propose anything less than a majority rule in the classes of the Kansas City School of Law. Again, it has taken the initiative in setting the precedent of an annual Washington Day Banquet, in which all members of the school, save the defunct organization herein- before mentioned, have participated. It might be added with regret that two of our best men were lost to the class by those misfortunes that too often wait upon us all. Our worthy brother, I. H, Wood, who soon would have finished his professional preparation, was killed in a railroad accident. While as mail clerk he supported himself during his professional studies. Later in the year our worthy brother, D. C. Philbrick, on account of failing health, was forced to give up his Studies, a misfortune greatly regretted by all who knew his worth. Thus briefly has been recited a few ofthe essential incidents of our historyg and now, though lingering with reluctant feet Where we must turn from the pleasant asso- ciations with our fellow students and our honored faculty, let us away toward the fu- ture, where the game becomes more seriousg where the gaiety of moot court must be exchanged for the stern responsibility that must rest upon counsel at the bar of public justice, where are to be weighed in the balance the rights of life, liberty and property. -16- 'i , -4 fi '-l 3? 1.

I ,gp Il HISTORY OF TI-IE JUNIOR CLASS H gy I 1 JUNIOR PANDEX CoMMI'r'1LL To write a class history is diflicult, and to make it attractive, a task for genius. Yet, in response to duty, the stupid historian has endeavored to faithfully relate herein a few of the important events of the history of the Junior Class. The class of 1908 first assembled together as juniors on the night of September 24th, 1906. Several since that time have dropped out, notably among them Dr. Erie S. Celvenger, who is now successfully engaged in the business of raising thoroughbred dogs in Excel- sior Springs, Missouri. The Juniors began their work with that zeal char- acteristic of the Class of 1908, and are now so continu- ing. To go into detail as to what they have done would require too much of the uninteresting, but suflice it to say, they have received severer tests than any preced- ing class in the school, and have done creditably. And this is conservative. On February 4th, they began their course of lec- tures on Sales, Bailments and Common Carriers under Prof. Morrill, and by reason of unfavorable circum- stances, had has impediments the Freshmen. The his- torian here makes apology for this latter mentioning, but, forsooth, 'tis a part of the history-and the one regrettable part. Yet, despite our inconvenience, dis- commodation, displeasure, distaste, et caetera innumer- able, beyond doubt their emulation of our example will ever be a guiding star to them in their future progressg and let us appease our indignant wrath by the thought that through us inestimable good has been wrought. my HISTORY OF THE. JUNIOR CLASS-Continued Une of the much anticipated events of every school year is the annual banquet on Xiashing1on's Birthday Anniversary. Then, Freshman, Junior and Senior commingle amicahly, which perhaps accounts for its pleasurable expectation, especially by the Freshman. The juniors chose from their midst Mr. James P. Aylward to represent them at this feast. Mr. Aylward spoke on the Inspiration of the Day. Many have been his praises both by faculty and fellow students. It would be impossible to here enumerate them, but, to say mnllum in parvo, Fame that night saw the vociferating and gesticnlating youth and enlisted him in her ranks. Verily, we shall all live to see the day when he will stand in their foremost. On March 27th, the annual Junior-Freshman Debate was held. The sub- ject was, Resolved, that the national government should establish some form of sub- sidies other than the present mail subsidies for the encouragement of our ocean-car- rying and ship-building tradef' The juniors had the affirmative of this question and were represented by Messrs. Leonidas Edgar Durley, Edwin Guy Thompson and Roy Myron Randall. The judges were Messrs. Neel, Lloyd Thompson and Hamilton. Their decision was for the aliirmative and was unanimous. Durley with his resourcefulness, Thompson with Hhis cruel and bitter sarcasm? fas the Freshies called ith, and Randall with his logic, were too much for the young ones. Nevertheless they did well and were represented by Messrs. Garrett, Seaton and Watts. The litetrary and debating organization of the Class of 1908, which meets Weekly, has been a means of much pleasure and enjoyment during the junior year and undoubt- edly of lasting benefit. Some of its meetings have been memorable, indeed. Who will soon forget Robert Tilden Henshaw's stentorian voice demanding anyone whomsoever to tell him, t'How much tin is mined in the United States? Or Who, Boyd Stark Eppes' vehement denial of allegiance to any law school frat, and I don't know that I ever will belong to one? Or who, Edwin Guy Thompson's pathetic and eloquent por- trayal of Napoleon in his humiliation and desolation on the Isle of St. Helena with the vast, deep ocean ever around him?'l Or who, James R. Barbour's dissertation on Salome and the fifty-two second-violins? Or who Prof. Cowan's talk on the Art of Pub- lic Speaking' and his apt stories illustrating, particularly the one on Patriotism? Or who, Charles Brovin's lectures, par excellence, on Parlialnentary Law? And, last but not least, who will soon forget Cupid's Smile? We are approaching the end of our career as juniors, Soon, that name will desig- nate otha-rs. We are about to lay it aside for a higher one. As we near those bars fexaminationsj which constitute the gateway to our next field of exploitation, we look back over our journey and heave a big sigh of vain regret for the never-returning past. Many fond memories go with us and may they, in the distant and unfathomable future sometimes slip into our thoughts and waft us back to those days when we were young and ambitious juniors. mpg, QV V V'Tk y X 'E My V 0 Q A -507 I I JUNIQR CLASS ROLL QQ , ,zxmtezs Allen, John Trimble Anghinbaugh, George Thomas Aylward, James P.

THE FABLE OF A FOXY FRESHMAN CLASS IN A LAW SCHOOL WHO INSIST- ED ON RAISING THEIR HANDS IN RECITATION. Once upon a time there was a Freshman class in a law school. After the manner of such classes its members were endowed with extremely large hands and feet and exceedingly small heads. They had early given promise of their intellectual propensi- ties, and their record from childhood was one of brilliant achievements. Many of them wore large badges of honor conferred upon them for receiving the most headmarks in their classes. while almost all of them brought their report card on the opening of said law school. Feeling deeply that they had been called to study the law, they were simply envel- oped in dignity. In short they characterized every virtue, even to economy, which was evidenced by their rubber collars. It was the wont of these noble lads to assemble ,,5f,-- LOCALS- -Continued together at the close of' day, before it was yet dark, much after the manner of the ancient knights of thee Round Table, and relate their deeds of prowess, and incidentally impart legal lmowletlgc- to the member of the Faculty who presided. At these meetings silence pervaded the atmosphere of the chamber. Occasionally a member would tiptoe quietly to the hall to hear himself think, but on the whole as a result of their deliberations many theretofore unknown points of law were discovered and scores of legal nets were settled forever. Now it happened that near this reverend place of meeting was the rendezvous of a baud of thoughtless fellows whom we may call the Junior Class. They prided them- selves upon surviving the brain-storms with which Freshmen are prone to suffer and looked down with pity and compassion upon these poor unfortunates with the large pedal extremities. An edict went forth from the Dean of this law school to the effect that on the iirst day of the week, commonly called Monday, in the evening thereof, these two bodies of squires should assemble together and thereafter be instructed in common in the mys- teries of Sales, Bailments and Common Carriers. In due time the first meeting occurred. The greater portion of the allotted time was spent in seating these belligerent factions, and mighty was the tumult resulting from the rush among the Freshmen for posi- ,, , tions in the Grandstander's Amen Corner, on the left fy. f of the Throne. After a short address they were N xx dispersed without bloodshed. ix, At the following meeting, these dignified Fresh- . if men forgot their usual bearing and made a rush for ' an XL Q 3 'A their positions and thereafter the proceedings might V 6' N' be likened to a Sunday game. The Juniors came in 'A t N Qxathttlgt slowly and took their places in the sun. The Instruct- V' A , N XLR or began as soon as the game was called with a quiz ' 11 I X5 ,lt covering the previous lecture. The first question was fp ,ilygt t I jmfmig' simply pie, but the man at the bat tbeing a Junior iptll ,I , ,. 'fi-'in' named McRay, who had strayed into the Freshman ,f .. is .I campb replied that he had not read that far. He was I' x - retired with a big mark, and an unsuspecting Freshy A' ,iiflt I' I I stepped conhdently to the bat. He was ignorant of the P21w4'f,l .Q I 'YI' L I' fact that they had Moretl, in the box. As was his fm. iiflw' gl .gs custom he came along with an underhand legal sphere M IE which dazed the innocent one. Straightway up went ,Li E2 if 'QXQQ scores of hands of the Freshmen, much to the aston- V iii! 7 J ishment of the Juniors. The dazed one not responding, the twirler handed him one even more twisted than the first, which evidently also dazed the grand-standers, for instantly their upraised palms faded away. Deafening was the applause from the Junior bleacher. This was repeated in every inning so that at the calling of the game in the sixth fthe parents of the Freshmen having come by for themb, the tender feelings of these little fellows were torn asunder and many of them were in tears. They proceeded to tell their parents of' the cruel, oppressive and inhuman treatment they had received at the hands of the uncivilized Juniors. Next day they asembled in a mass-meeting and pre- pared a petition to the Faculty, setting out, among other things, that their pride had been wounded, their feet trampled upon, their nerves racked and shattered, their F57-, Q ,, W.,-X. v fiv if Ji 1 V 'Tail A COLLECTORS FATE 3 si-Q gia Ni Listen, and it story we will tell, Of the sad fate of one, Caldwell, Ile was a collector as you know, And seldom failed to land the dough.

The start was not made at the crack of a pistol, amid great ex- citement, with a waving of ban- ners, and a blaze of trumpetsg nor was there a mass of excited i spectators to see the beginning of this race: but the race is none the less real. The signal was given by the Dean of the school, William P. Borland, and we were all off in a bunch. Some were soon in the lead and have maintained their position, while other-S more inlpetuous FRESHMAN PANDEX COMMYITEE. the lead at the start only to be compelled to fall back among their fellows. As we near the end of the first lap we notice that, as always happens, some have fallen out and abandoned the race, some have set the pace and by reason of ability are still in the lead, others we surmise, are running easily, saving their strength for the final dash at the finish, while still others are hanging on, using all their powers to keep in the race, know- ing well that they will be outclassed at the tape by their more capable competitors. And there are prizes at the end of this raceg not one, but many. There are also disappointments, for not every one who wins his sheepskin will be the successful lawyer who wins many cases and gains renown. It is but an incident of every race that there must be those who lose as well as those who win. But after all, will the analogy hold? Are we not all winners in this race, for how can we be losers for competing in such a race? Even the last straggler must gain much from his Contact with the course. But let us cast aside the analogy of the race and thus get in more of authentic history. In the early days of its existence the Freshman Class drew up a constitution and organized for the purpose of gaining development along broad lines. At the class elec- tion which followed shortly, Dew was chosen for President, and we have been doing things ever since. Cunningham, as Vice-President, never has an opportunity of show- ing his executive ability since Dew keeps doing. Burns was the choice for Treasurer, but has not been obliged to employ a bookkeeper or buy a safe. The gentleman is in ,61- HISTORY OF F RESHMEN CLASSgContinued error, I have it here verbatim, often steals softly upon the atmosphere from the direction of Judge Futvoye, our Secretary. Hopeless confusion would be ours were it not for his swift pencil and general fund of information. Guffin, of Reporter fame, publishes to the world, through the daily press and the magazine, the greatness which is ours, and the wonderful stunts that we do. Garrett, our Sergeant-at-Arms, seeing no oppor- tunity of wiping up the earth in his official capacity has taken to debating, and demonstrated that he has the goods and is willing to deliver. Smith and his associate in editorship speak for themselves. And the Freshman Class really is getting busy and doing. In our moot court cases the attorneys wax eloquent and plead the cause of their clients in a masterful manner. The judges render such clear, concise and com- prehensive opinions that even the Supreme Court of the State would do well to sit up and take notice. Accepting the challenge Of the Juniors, we met them in debate, and Watts, Garrett and Seaton, While for some unaccountable reason the decision was not ours, convinced every one that the Freshman Class could debate. Not alone have we pitted our men against our peers, the Juniors, but our man Garrett, ranking with two Seniors, will soon convince William Jewell College that an income tax is just, wise and necessary. Our class meetings are always interesting-visit one and see. We do all these things and many others, yes, very many others-we are all busy, toog if you doubt it, go with Seaton, Chairman of the executive committee, and ask each member to debate at the next meeting. Verily the ingenuity of the class is marvelous. But since this is but our beginning, you will hear very much more from us later. In parting, We want you to keep in mind that we are behind this thing, and are push- ing it along. -. .f V! ,.....,,.s f' AQGQN 3 X I! .,lig,'?.hi, 1.141 jg... 1 -vm - aye X.,q,2',L,x --62-- aiu FRESHMAN ROLL eff idk if Q, ,Q , X ! l Anderson, John Edwin Hinkle, Charles Tecumseh i Brady, Joseph Henry Halvering, Robert Louis Bresnehan, Thomas Francis Hooten, Charles Ray Bilderback, Alexander Scott Kellogg, Josiah Betts, John Edward Koepsel, Arthur Edward - Bettis, Frank Allison Langknecht, Carl Henry Burns, James Vincent Montgomery, Atwell Lee Benton, Justus McNenstry Marquis, Wilson Marcellus Berry, Robert Emmett Morley, Washington Irving Best, Wilbur C.

Then when his student days are o'er, He nails his shingle on tlfc door. And prays and hopes, and prays again, That some poor injured mortal man, May choose of him, as once of old, Each lady chose her warrior bold. How glad he'd be in time of need, To write some gouty client's deed, To draw some wealthy magnate's will, And yes, to e'en collect a bill. But soon, he gets above the ground, He climbs the ladder round by round. Then greater things are thrust on him, And greater cares for him begin. He's told to bend the rules of law, And clear a Rogers or a Thaw. He's told to guard the rights of men, And keep the wealthy from the Hpenf' He's asked all things that men would know Of things above, of things below. But when he asks his hard earned fee, No matter what the sum may be, Of robbery he is accused, And often roundly he's abused. By rich and poor, he's thought to bo, A model of hypocrisy. He's said to lie, perhaps to steal, Unjustly, and corruptly deal. But let the world say what it will, There will be honest lawyers still. LITERARY XF JP? My A H1NT TO THE wise is SUFFICIENT Q5 All ye law students who are ambitious of attaining great wealth in the next few days, hark ye unto me, A. Jay Philosopher, of modern renown, and forever apply the following maxims of life: FIRST-Be honest in all things, but conduct your business on such a high ethical plane that you will always have your clients fully appreciate your efforts, not only by charging f them enough for your services, but by forcing them to cheerfully pay up promptly. 'I you cannot collect from them, how can you make them believe you can collect from others? SECOND-Don't spend anythingg live with relatives, if possible, and by all means be invited out for lunch every day in the year. If you smoke, let your friends know it only when you are confident that they have extra cigars and not desirous of indulging. THIRD-Don't fall in love, or give the queen of your affection a huge solitaire dia- mond for sewing a pants button on-be economical and use a nail. If you cannot find a nail and do not care to buy one, get fat so that you can exclude suspenders from your wardrobe. FOURTH-But if your relatives all die off and you find that you need a housekeeper, h until after she has proved herself faithful by contributing, first, a do not marry er magnificent home, and, second, all the other necessary elements of long and continued bliss. FIFTH-Do not do anything for friendship, unless that be a legal tender, or that of a iass widow It is however permissible to bring a divorce suit for a female friend in 3 ' - , , order that you may make her your housekeeper, providing she will answer those require- ments set forth in maxim four. SIXTH-Dodge nothing that looks good to you, except contribution baskets, and, h when at church, surreptitiously put in a penny and shake well, so that the ot er coins will ring your praise. SEVENTH-Take an active interest in church work, especially in missions or collec- tions, to-wit: Always make an ardent plea for others to give, and thereby overlook the opportunity yourself. ElGHTH1AlWayS look prosperous, even though you have to get up before any of your friends-the outside world won't know but that you let them have your clothes, and will hold you in esteem for your kindness. NINTH-Always make friends with people who have the MA-ZU-MA, and by all means cultivate the acquaintance of the MA-ZU-MA. It is absolutely harmless, and the more you take of it the better you will like it. TENTH-Always make your adversaries believe you are the whole Uapple pie, but do not invite them to lunch, because you might get bit ELEVENTH-KGQQ a good supply of soft brick, soap and water, etc., on hand, so that you may always come into court with clean hands. TWELFTH-AS you grow older in the practice of the law, do not invest in automo- biles, but start a garage and use your customers' machines. Their repair work will not annoy you nearly so much as your own. And after the application of these principles, if you desire to accumulate a few more million, stop practicing law altogether and establish yourself in the business of manu- facturing wings for the four hundred-there may be vast fortunes in such an enterprise. -724 N KD THE LAW AS A PROFESSION N YM? Yoltaire has said: The law is the last stronghold of barbarismf' No doubt the cyn- ical lfrenehman meant by these words to cast reproach upon the science which has been from the earliest ages the torch and guide of human progress. That violence and private war give way to law and public order marks the first step in the path of civilization, and the followers of this science have blazed the path of mankind toward peace, pros- pcrity and equality. No cynic, however, feels that he has justly earned the title of phil- osopher, no dreamer rises to the dignity of a reformer, no fanatic is content with his plan to overturn the social order, without some attack upon the science and profession of the law. They all wish to abolish the lawyer as the first step towards the Millennium, but for some unexplained reason, lawyers continue to multiply and thrive, business, social and political affairs pass through their hands, and the community continues to trust to their leadership, as it has always done. except upon those rare occasions when, 'mid the clash of arms, the laws are silent? The legal profession has always drawn to its ranks men of ambition, strength of character and ability. This attraction is due to a natural law-the law which impels human forces to seek the channel of the greatest rewards and the widest opportunities. We hear often in these days that the law is becoming commercialized, and is ceasing to be a profession: and to some extent this is undoubtedly true. It is probably true of the law, however, to no greater extent than it is of other professions under the same conditions of modern life. The main element which distinguishes a profession from a trade is the individuality of its members. Art is a profession as long as the personality of the artist is a necessary part of his work. When it becomes mere mechanical reproduction under rules laid down by others, it ceases to be a profession, and becomes a trade. While some departments of the law have in this sense become a mechanical trade, it is safe to say that the law itself will never cease to be a profession until all need for lawyers has passed away in that happy millennium when rights are respected without the necessity of enforcement. There is no activity of man in which individuality is as great a factor as in the profession of the law. The personal equation cannot be eliminated. This con- stitutes at once its greatest difficulty and its greatest honor. The Iawyer's capital is his ability, his experience and his reputation. No man can enter the legal profession with a paid-up capital. He acquires his capital himself, and carries it around under his hat. This has one drawback which is a discouraging feature to the young lawyer. It takes time to acquire such a capital. It has this corresponding advantage, however, that when once acquired, it is not in danger of being lost by sudden bankruptcy. The sheriff cannot levy on it for a debt, nor sell it under the hammer. With industry and good habits any lawyer who has once acquired a standing in the profession should be able to make an honorable and suflicient livelihood. -73, Tl-IE LAW AS A PROFESSION Continued Bill Nye says that he once essayed the practice of the law. He was very ambitious to shine in his profession, but the only polish he acquired was on the elbows oi' his coat. He says that he had often heard that practice must grow by one client bringing another, and so the lawyer's influence would radiate out through the community, as when one casts a pebbfe in a pool, and sends the ripples out in ever-widening circles. The only trouble about this, however, was that all of his clients got into the penitentiary, where they were unable to ripple any more, and he finally in disgust gave away his library to a young man who needed a book of that size to prop up a window. VV6 often heal' that the p1'OfeSSi011 ofthe law is Over-Crowded, but it is doubtful whether this is in any real sense true. Economic conditions tend to adjust themselves, and if any one business or profession is overcrowded, the surplus will distribute itself in- to other lines. If any business or occupation presents more opportunities than will suf- fice for those engaged in it, new men will flock in until the balance is restored. I have never discovered that the law was any more overcrowded than the shoe business, or the grocery business, or any mercantile line. It is true that in England and in some of the older states, where there is a great deal of inherited wealth, many young men are put into the legal profession on account of its supposed respectability. This does not happen so frequently in the Westg and however much it may give the appearance of overcrowding to the profession, it has never, so far as I have discovered, increased in the slightest de- gree the real competition between active practitioners. If a man should open a shoe store and sell shoes, not as a means of livelihood, but because he thought it was a gentlemanly pursuit, it is probably that his competition would in no wise effect those who were actively engaged in that line of business. To conclude, therefore, We may be happy to believe that the law is still a profession, and a noble one, giving unbounded opportunities for the exercise of the greatest qualities of mind and soulg that it still commands, and will continue to command, as far into the future as we can see, the confidence and trust of the civilized worldg that its rewards, While not great from a pecuniary standpoint, are higher and more enduring than those of commerce or tradeg that is practitioners enrich their own minds and expand their own powers, while blessing by honest and conscientious effort their fellowmang and that the opportunities for the true lawyer today are greater, his horizon is wider, and his re- wards are surer than ever before. WM. P. BORLAND. THE PROPER AllVl OF A LAW SCHOOL The time has gone by, said the latc Chief Justice Wait, when an eminent lawyer, in full practice, can take a class ol' students in his office and become their teacher. Once that was practicable, but now it is not. The consequence is that law schools are now a necessity. The number of lawyers in our country has greatly increased during the last genera- tion. This has been due in part to the increased wealth in the country and to the corre- sponding' increase in litigation. The attractions of a professional career, based upon the hope of nnancial returns and the prestige of such employment, has induced great num- bers to undertake the study of law. Whatever the cause, the result is no longer in doubt and every year a multitude of young attorneys are being admitted to practice in the va- rious states of the Union. The requirements for admission to the bar are being syste- matized and jurisdiction in this matter in most states has been taken from the judges and placed in the hands ot' commissioners appointed for that purpose. This is due in part to the absence oi' the former close relation between the bench and the bar, and also to the tendency of modern legislation to protect citizens from quacks and imposters. It gives a certain amount of protection to the public to require that every one practicing' as a lawyer shall have attained a certain degree of proficiency, measured by a uniform standaid. But from the standpoint of a law student this constitutes a barrier, a postal to be passed before the harvest from a professional career can be reaped. So one ob- ject oi' a law school is to enable students to pass the bar examination. Mere preparation for the state bar examination is not so low a standard as it at first seems. It means pre- paring the candidate with a general knowledge covering a wide field. The modern ten- dency of bar examiners is to ask problem questions, and this requires legal reasoning as well as a mere knowledge of rules and syllogisms. The application of some principles which can be stated in a few words can only be learned in a lifetime. So a successful candidate for admission to the bar must have a reasonable degree of proficiency in apply- ing abstract rules to concrete cases, and this constitutes an all important part in the ed- ucation of every practicing lawyer. A certain amount of learning is acquired incidentally in the study of lawg many of the fallacies prevalent in the lay mind regarding this science are either forgotten or out- grown. As an illustration, take the idea so commonly expressed that law is only common sense. In discussing an examination paper with a junior recently the argument was used that the law was only common sense. That man's legal education was a failure, at least, partially, although it would be a great reproach to the law if it should not conform with comlnon sense. Still, in my opinion the preparation of students for bar examinations should be a -75- 1 . THE PROPER AIM OF A LAW SCHOOL Continued mere incident and not the ultimate aim of a law school, maintaining the highest stand- ard. The true purposes of a law school are many, but they are so closely linked together that it is difficult to state them categorically. The school successfully maintaining a high standard must give its students a clear conception of the law as a science and also a con- ception ofthe science of law in its different branches as a unit. Such a school must trace the development and growth of the English common law. It must aim to give the reason for rules and principles. All this it must do to enable the student to reason in the cus- tomary mode and think in the channels of thought which lawyers for the past two cen- turies have been using. A law school should strengthen the reasoning power and men- tal grasp of students, but it must also accustom them to legal reasoning, so they may ar- gue and reason as lawyers and judges are accustomed to do. The commonest form of argument used in solving legal problems is that known in logic as the argument of analogy. This has been said to be one of the most useful and one of the most dangerous forms of reasoning. Clear thinking and sound judgment are essential to the proper use of the analogies in debating legal questions. A law school should give training along this line for, otherwise, the young attorney may gain his ex- perience at the expense of his client. Another object to be accomplished by a law student is to familiarize the student with the tools of his trade, that is the reported decisions of his state courts. The ability to se- lect the governing principles from a long opinion and state it in a few words Without confusion or inaccuracy, is only gained by years of experience, but the start in gaining such ability should be made during the law school course by referring constantly to the reports. This topic naturally suggests the great limitation upon any law faculty or teacher. In the last analysis the result of instruction depends on the student himself. Instruc- tion in a course of law depends more than any other subject upon the ability and dili- gence of the student. Strength of mental grasp and sound legal judgment can only be gained by patient, careful study. Such study cannot be replaced and rendered unneces- sary by any method of instruction. It is what rarely counts in any school of law. Mak- ing due allowance for the educational equipment of the entering classes, that school will turn out the best lawyers which get the most work out of its students. 333 MR. FRANK N. MoRR1LL. H S 5 -Q- INDUSTRY PERSEVERANCE -Q- X l have been requested to write a contribution for the forthcoming Annual of the Kansas City School of Law. Feeling as I do a deep interest in all the members of the school, l cheerfully comply with that request. The prospects of the future success as lawyers of the students of our school seem to nie to be hopeful and encouraging. So far as I have been able to observe, much interest has been manifested during the present terms of all the classes in their studies. You uill some day be licensed attorneys. Naturally you look forward with buoyant expecta- tions to your entrance on your chosen profession. I would not and do not write here a word of discouragement, hut at the same time let me admonish you that the life of the successful lawyer is one of great toil and unceasing application. Sometimes you see or hear of some shining character at the bar engaged in an important and noted case, and you perhaps fancy that he obtained his extraordinary equipment without effort and by either heredity or intuition, or by both. This is a mistaken notion. No man can become a great lawyer except by intense industry and perseverance. The labors of the true law- yer run in two directions, one in the continued and never ceasing study of the law, and the other in the faithful service of clients in their causes. When you enter the field of active practice, you should consider yourselves as hav- ing just commenced to be students of the law. The time should never come when you discontinue a course of systematic reading of the best text books. You will never grow too old to cease your studies. There is no higher calling than that of the preservation of peace in society and the settlement of controversies and the composing of the differences that arise in the com- munity among the people. There is no more important institution for the progress and development of our race than the tribunal of justice. But the lawyer who ministers at the altar of justice, and who meets all the demands of his sacred vocation, must not only be conscientious both to court and client, but also active, vigilant and constant in his labors. I desire that this paper shall be brief, and wishing each member of the school suc- cess and a prosperous future, I commend to each of you as a good motto suitable to be borne in mind daily and hourly during your professional lives, the expressive words: Industry-Perseverance.

T Q E l Q Xlzdfv,-07 E X In this publication it has been our purpose to record a portion of the everyday life of our school, as a memorial of the student body of the Kansas City School of Law for the year 1907. This memento will no doubt find a favored place in the library of every stu- dent, and as time wrinkles our brow, frosts our locks and makes our memories grow dim, we hope that this book will refresh our minds of the time when we were boys together arduously endeavoring to obtain a fund of legal knowledge and to convince the faculty that we were worthy of our L. L. B. But if this will serve as such a reminder, We shall feel highly remunerated for the time, labor and expense that We have undergone. The task of getting this book out has been far greater than would appear to the casual observer, and with all our efforts we have not been able to even satisfy ourselves, but such as it is, it is submitted to an appreciative body of students, knowing that they well realize the obstacles that we have had to surmount in bringing this little memento into existence. Throughout our work it has been our aim to carry out a democratic prin- ciple, and we trust that no one will take offense at our attempted puns and Witticisms, even though some of them may seem cutting or ridiculous, but we hope they will be re- ceived with the same good spirit in which they were written. We feel greatly indebted to our honorable faculty and the alumni for the aid they have given us, and wish to extend to them our sincere thanks for their manifest interest. To our President, the Hon. O. H. Dean, we especially extend our thanks for the per- sonal interest he has taken in our behalf. To the class of 1908 we leave the guardianship of the PANDEX. We hope that they may use this year's work as a stepping stone to a much better publication next year. gf 579, l a THE sECoNo ANNUAL BANQUET Gif I When the genial Junior, Culbertson, suggested that we adopt February the 22nd as the date for our annual Law School banquet, we all said Amen. Hence-forth that day shall be famous in history because of two events: First, it is the anniversary of the birth of the Father of this country, and second, it is the day of the Law School banquet. Be- cause of the first the hard working student receives a holiday, a rest, a cure for the tired feelingg by the second he is given an opportunity to laugh, laugh, LAUGH, and also a chance to relieve his abdominal flabbiness to his heart's content. The event occurred at the Densmore. All of the boys were there except the illus- trious C?J twelve, of Whose absence one of the speakers of the evening said: The heights by our boys reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden Hight, But they while the Knockers slept, Were eating oysters in the night. The principal orator of the evening was the Hon. James A. Reed of Kansas City. The subject of his address was t'Geo1'ge Washington. ln his speech he portrayed by well drawn comparisons the strong points in the character of his subject, and in his per- oration he admonished the assembly to emulate the career of the great leader. Each class was represented by two speakers. These orators held the banqueters in a continual outburst of laughter and gaiety until 2 o'clock a. m. The student speakers and their subjects were as follows: Toastmaster. ............................ Eugene Clay Hamilton, '07 The Side Thoughts of Law Students ................. S. A.

From that time men, and also women, have been discussing questions on every conceivable sub- ject, idea and conglomeration. The celebrated Spectacle case of Eye vs. Nose, held in the court of Judge Ear is one which has become famous by reason of the arguments in the debate. Hence arises the question, What is a debate 7 It may be said to be a pair of arguments. And what is an argument? 'tAn argument, says Hamilton tEugene Clayj , is a conglomerate collection of heterogeneous facts, doctrines, events, discussions, super- stitions, suppositions, deductions, hypotheses and conclusions delivered, brought forth, expatiated, expounded, pounded, impounded, compounded, propounded, expelled, garb- led, twisted, prevaricated, uttered and said by some long, lean, lank, lantern-jawed, smooth-tongued, grandstanding, emb1'yoniC lawyer or preacher in such a manner and with such force as when applied through the medium of overheated atmosphere will uni- literally melt the congealed and solid judgment of a judge. Having such a clear and Sue, cinct definition of an argument, we can readily conceive that the Winner of a debate is always the side that overpowers the other in the Weight of argument. Says Professor Hamilton in his admorable work on Hot Air, While it is the general rule that caloricized atmosphere rises because of its condition, it is also a fact capable of scientific demonstra- tion that when once the caloricized atmosphere has been impregnated with the bacillus argumentus it immediately becomes superlatively supersensitive to the infiuence of grav- itation and contemporaneously descends with crushing momentum upon judges and op- ponentsf' When the budding Freshmen matriculate they immediately become infected with the bacillus argumentus. The first impulse is to challenge the faculty upon the question, What are text books to be used for, anyway? Discovering that the faculty are en- dowed with some of the attributes of sovereignty and that they may not be inveigled into a debate, they immediately seek other victims. Sometimes they find them in other classes, sometimes in other schools, but they do find them. Such was the beginning of debates in the Kansas City School of Law. The questions have generally been of' a political or economic nature and rarely of a judicial turn: a con- dition doubtless due to the belief on the part of each debater that hot air is worth more on the stump than on the bench. In maintaining the sides chosen by the Law School our teams have been very suc- cessful. Doubtlcss owing to our location On the bluffs oi' the Missouri, our boys have been able to put up a bluff that got the decision and an argument that overpowered their opponents. Four times did they meet the boys from the Missouri State University, and thrice was victory ours. In 1903 our boys triumphed over Kansas City University. ln i905 we began a series ot' debates with Willlam Jewell College. The class of 1907 fur- nished for that team Moreland Brown, who, with his colleagues, Harold M. Boyle, '05, and A. ll. Long, '03, prevailed over the boys from Liberty. The second ofthe series was lield in Kansas City in 1906. The Law School was represented by Clifi' Lzingsdale, '06, ,83,, DEBATES-Continued Earl Eugene Bowers, '07, and Alton H. Skinner, '07, They won in a walk. In the third debate held this year the Law School is to be represented by Earl Eugene Bowers, '07, A. R. McClanahan, '07, and R. D. Garrett, '09. In 1906 was held a debate between the class of '07 and the class of '08. Loud and long was the contest, but it was finally won by the boys of '08. This year on the evening of March 27th our peace was again disturbed by the at- tempts of the class of '09 to win a victory over the class of '08. The struggle was long, fierce and heart-rending. There was much discussion, concussion and dissension. In the end, however, victory was won by the team of '08. Such is the history of the debates of our Alma Mater. May her victories continue and her one defeat never be repeatedg may she win by force, and if that be not possible, by craft. To garble from Milton: To win is worth ambition: better to Win by craft than to be defeated in any way. X p W' 'au' 3 new Xt, .

The contributor of this article has not been advised whether it is expected to be on the Alumni, or the Alumnae. In THE PANDEX for '06, there appears a very excellent ar- ticle on the Alumni, with no mention whatever of the lady graduates. Surely this can- not be construed as an intention to ignore our Alumnae. It is the purpose that both shall be included in this article. If occasion is had ill speaking of the graduates, to use some other term synonymous therewith, it is likely that the Alumni will be used, thereby con- forming to well accepted custom, with the intention that the Alumni shall embrace the Alumnae. The claims to usefulness of any institution of learning are based on the quality of its Alumni. The graduates are the fruition of our schools, and Uby their fruits ye shall know them. Results commensurate with the efforts expended are today everywhere demand- ed. The story is told that to the lengthy explanatory leters of the traveling salesman, his employer briefly responded: 'tWhat we want is orders. Have the results of the Kansas City School of Law justified the expenditure? Undoubtedly! That this school has pulled up into the front ranks of schools of its kind in a little more than a half score of years is due to both faculty and graduates, and more especially to the fact that each has a pride in the other. How often has it been truthfully said that wherever you find a member of the Alumni of this school, you will find in him a spirit of fraternity and loyalty to the other members, and a genuine feeling of respect for the old schooll Among all her sons, not one could be found who is not proud that he once sat under the instruction of some of the distinguished jurists who have been and are teachers in the school. Surely the inference is a fair one, that to this interest, respect and pride in the school, which so universally prevails among the Alumni, is largely due her good name. A most satisfactory feeling of security as to the future welfare of the School may be enjoyed by all interested in her, so long as the present relations between the school and her graduates are maintained. On the other hand, let it be said that the graduates are a real joy to the school. You who, after graduation are displaying high qualities of Inanhood, and are showing prom- ise of attaining success at the bar, and of becoming useful members of society, are the delight of the faculty. Such lives are the teachers' reward. And the fact that some of the best instructors of this school are lalooring here year after year with an ever-in- creasing zeal, bears testimony that they are pleased with the results they are getting. Such Inen as O. H. Dean, Sanford B. Ladd, James S. Botsford, R. J. Ingraham, Willard P. Hall, A. L. Cooper, M. A. Fyke, John W. Snyder and others of the faculty, would not isea. ALUMNI-Continued take the time from the pressing demands of their respective practices to give to the school were it not that they believe they are helping to maintain an institution which is making good its right to exist by being useful in the community. The devotion of these men to the school bespeaks most eloquently their approval of the graduates. It might be interesting to know that out of the ten classes that have gone out, there are in all some four hundred graduates. Of these, there are several Women. Many have graduated from the school who never intended to practice, having taken the course as a supplement to their early education. But the vastly greater part of the Alumni are en- gaged in practice, and are distributed throughout nearly all the states of the Union, the Philippine Islands, and foreign countries. We are unable to give a long list of jurists, congressmen, senators, governors and those who have become famous as advocates, be- cause of the comparative youth of the schoolg but this is a matter which time will surely and speedily cure. At the local bar, not infrequently, We see a member of the faculty vanquished in argument before the court by a former student. ' We claim for the school a share in all the honorable achievements of her sons, and not solely because habits of thought and action are formed, and characters determined in the years of school life. The influences of the Kansas City School of Law do not cease at graduation-the associations there had are a continuing force in the lives of most of her graduates, often becoming stronger as the years go by. It may be said that in the claims we make for the school, We speak with prejudice, that possibly We exaggerate and idealize, that We cannot with the coolness of a stranger estimate the character and the influence of the school, and the share of honor due to her for what she and her sons have done. If this charge be made, let us plead guilty, but stand unrepentant. JOHN B. PEW. ?,fE2si3lkIi5Zf'Q1. 57i?'?LZLfiZ E. ? :ia Yf7g'5 ' n ALUIVI I DIRECTORY ADAMS, CARI.
