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 ,
