interest to note the following in this connection, that of these graduates one has been Mayor of Kansas City, two Prosecuting Attorneys of Jack- son County, six Circuit Judges of the County, while many have served in the Legislative Assemblies, about thirty per cent of the graduates are found engaged in business, in high school work, or 1n the medical pro- fession, these have achieved prominence and success in business and pro- fessional life. About seventy per cent of the graduates of this School. have actually engaged in the practice of the law, this is found to be considerably in. ex- cess of the average proportion of Law School graduates that continue the practice of law, after receiving their degrees. A word personal to the Class of '21, the personnel of this Class is recognized as one of the best in the history of the School. The Faculty has enjoyed the work with them, and I feel that I reflect the sentiment of all when I predict for you a full measure of success in the practice of the law. The Faculty has been greatly strengthened by the addition thereto of distinguished members of our Bar from time to time. It is also of interest to note that our own Law Library has grown until it practically meets all the needs and requirements of the student body. We again acknowledge our debt of gratitude to President Dean, the late Judge John F. Philips, Mr. Sanford B. Ladd, Mr. Wash Adams and others for their fine contributions to our own Law shelves, these, added to our original purchases give us a fine working library. The Washington's Birthday Banquet, one of the best in the history of the School, if not the best, is referred to elsewhere as is the story of that interesting night when honorary class membership was conferred upon Mrs. Alice Dean Greene, Mrs. Alice Van Valkenburgh, Miss Ethel Ridenour and Miss Mary Simpson, I would not regard this sketch of the School as complete without express mention of these affairs here, and of the fine appreciations of the Classes to Mr. Dean and to Mr. Ladd. In concluding this brief story, the writer feels warranted in stating, that that was a good day of educational enterprise in 1895 when the Kansas City School of Law was founded. That the foundations thereof were well laid and with corner stones of granite in the selection of the great lawyers of this Bar and State as its head, I refer to such men as Honorable O. H. Dean, Honorable Sanford B. Ladd, Judge E. L. Scarritt and the late Francis M. Black. I P214
