We point with pride to this list of lecturers and instructors, and we feel that it is no wonder that the Kansas City School of Law has flourished with such an array of talent. Mr. XYm. P. Borland was chosen dean of the school at its inception and remained in this position until his drties as congressman called him to XVash- ington. It was with the regret of all, and of none more than the writer. that he had to give up his official position with the school. Mr. Borland will, how- ever. continue to be one of the regular lecturers. .-Xt the time of Mr. llorland's resignation, the writer was elected to succeed him as dean. Mr. john XY. Snyder, who was with us from the start, and who has delivered more lectures than any one else in the school was elected secretary. and Mr. Elmer Powell, who was one of the original organizers, was elected treasurer. Mr. Ben E. Todd, who graduated in the class of IQOS, has been selected to act as registrar. I wish that I had the space and time to write a full account of the graduates of the school. Four hundred and ninety-one have received our diplomas and have gone forth to battle with the world. and many of them have already become famous. We find the n'ost of tl'em engaged in the prace tice of their chosen professions, some of them have already held judicial posi- tions, others are members of Congress. or State legislatures, or municipal bodies, while otliers have taken up some position in the business world. I know of none of them that has made a failure. E. D. ELLISON. 17-

Mr, Dean has heen connected with other firms, hut always in connection with Mr, VVarner: at present it is Warner. Dean, -9- McLeod 8: Timinoiicls. He has always been very much interested in public af- fairs, although he has never held an of- fice. Mr. Dean represented the city when the water works was acquired. He was one of the organizers of this school and was vice-president until 1902, when he accepted the presidency, which office he continues to hold. The students have learned to appre- ciate his legal knowledge, and the emi- nent position he has attained at the Mis- souri Bar he most justly deserves.
