Sprung from the original two roomed log cabin with its rough walls and rude furnishings, this def velopment may be likened to thc growth of the science of jurisprud- ence which had its beginnings in humble circumstances. An appropri- ate design it is for our Pandex, representative and spokesman for our school, The panels on the facades of this magnificent structure depict XVis- dom, showing the way to Contentment and Peace through Law: Mercy pointing to the path of Justice and Man controlling the spirit of Industry and Power. May we, as future citizens and lawyers, live these parables and demand adherence to their teachings, conscious that splendid and costly though it may be, the edihce is the shell and that the spirit of truth and honesty can dwell only in the hearts of men. Let the dedication service, opening with an invocation and con- cluding with that masterly address by Hon, Pierce Butler, justice ofthe United States Supreme Court, attended by the outstanding hgures of bench and bar from seven surrounding statesg let the common man who stood with bowed head and reverent eye and let the pioneer who kept the lamps of justice lighted in a wilderness and blazed the trail to this beauty of architecture:--let all these be our inspiration and guide to the lasting, the enduring worthwhile things of life.

HIS Pandex Staff sincerely hopes that it has utilized its material so that familiar memories will occur whenever anyone of the students chances to peruse this volume in future years. We hope too, that the beacons of your zeal will be brightened by the success many of our faculty have experienced, so that the urge to remain in the paths of your chosen profession will be strengthened. May we, as lawyers of this city, meet and never fail to greet each other again in the hallways, and in the court rooms of our new temple of justice in the same cordial spirit we greet each other as students in our school. The plan of the division pages is a result of the sugges- tion of Mr. Ross F. Jones, the faculty advisor of the 1935 Pandex. The Pandex Staff extends thanks to Senator Harry S. Truman, once presiding judge of the County Court of Jackson County, and Hon. Lou Holland, for the use of the court house engravings used in this book. mi un, , , A r , Aan All A11111i1'111111' I,1'1'f111'1'1' 111111 I11sf1'111'1'111', k111111'11 for tba 111,11 f1fft'l'll vX'l'!Il'X 111 Ibis s1'1111111 IIS 11111' 1l'1J0 xj11'11ks 1117111 111' IllJi11kXUg 111 11 1111111 111111 17115 17l'f'lI Il fl'lll'Zlt'l' 111111 s11j11'1'i11f1'11111'111' of x1'1111111s, ll 1'1'- 111111'k111111' 11111'-y1'1', 111111 ll lQl't'!1f 111'11x1'1'11fi11g 111'- f0l'lIt'AYj 111 111111 111111 1111.1 j11'111'1'11 l1i111s1'1f fl'lIl'1l'XX 111111 f11i1'11f111 111 11111' 1'11f111'1'1'1111'11f 111111 i11 II11' f11'11- 1'111'fi1111 of flmxr' 1111111111' 111 j11'111'1'1'f f111'111x1'11'11xg 111 11111' f1'i1'1111, 1L'b11111 111' l'l'XIJt'l'f for 111.1 111111111- 1'11g11, f11f1J1'1'1-3' 1'111111s1'1, fl'1t'lll11,T flffifllllfv 111111 11151111 111'1'111'i1111 111 1111' x1'11111'11fx' 11'1'1f111'1'g 111 A1'f1J111' I.

POWELL The greatest gift that life can give is a true, faithful friendf, The founders of this school will always recognize that as a memorable day when Mr. Sanford B. Ladd,s consent was obtained to take the lecture course in Real Property. Those lectures, prepared with the broad research that is charac- teristic of Mr. Ladd and delivered in his strong, clear, masterful way, are recognized as classics. When the writer and Dean Ellison once inquired of Mr. Ladd how he had happened to turn to the law, he said, Well, I cannot recall the time when I did not intend to make a lawyer of myselfug and what a lawyer he did make, what an ornament to our profession he became! It is not to be wondered at that on every opportunity our faculty members, students and alumni delight to pay homage to our valued friend, Mr. Ladd. We all find it a privilege and pleasure to meet with this genial, interesting host and philosopher in his hospitable home. His invariable first inquiry upon these visits is, How is everything going on at the Law School? and his continued friendly interest is manifested by his entering into close details with us in dis- cussing the Law School's present and future welfare. We all realize we can never fully repay the debt we owe to this most constant of friends, wisest of counsellors, our lasting inspiration, Honorable Sanford B. Ladd. To him we shall continue everlastingly grateful for his noble, construc- tive, ethical life, the life of a friendly, kindly gentleman, learned lawyer and scholarly man. Mr. Ladd remains our ideal of a real lawyer. By JUDGE MERRILL E. OTIs President Kansas City School of Law Who can be a great lawyer who does not have profound knowledge in the Held of jurisprudence, who is not informed somewhat in the related sciences and arts, who has not something of that wisdom that is not learned from books, who does not have love, right and justice, who has not sympathy and kindness in his heart, who does not cherish and adhere to professional ideals? He is a great lawyer who has these qualities. Hom Si For S lW Law Honorable ALBERT L. BERGER A.B., LL.B.

S SENIOR CLASS HISTORY AS the battleescarred warrior is prone to reminisce the conquests he has sur- vived, so the Senior Class of 193 5 casts a retrospective gaze over the years that now lie behind. In the pendulum sweep of our review we behold the ghosts of yesterday-the vanguard of formidable assignments that confronted us on crossing the threshold of the Kansas City School of Law. Prominent in our reverie stand the doctrines of estoppel and respondeat superior, the ever to be re- membered phrases, caveat emptor, ab initio, res ipsa loquitur, status quo, lis pendens, nudum pactum fa vicious chaplj and the never to be forgotten Black- stonian barrage -these that would obliviate us. Finally the Statute of Frauds, the undisclosed principal, and the fine points of first degree murder reappear as familiar land marks of that first year. But, as the Chinese Philosopher Nunc Pro Tune would say, Everything comes out in the wash. The Class of 1935 is proudly and justly guilty of founding the Kansas City Law Review, Charles C. Scott as Editor, assisted by an able staff and supported by members of the faculty, has succeeded in making this publication an out- standing trophy in our array of achievements. Courageously we launched forth in the good ship Sophomore While the neophytes of the new enrolling class struggled in the sea of legal knowledge, we started flying our colors with writs of scire facias, the Act of God as a boon to common carriers, and the hospitality of an innkeeper. Now did we become familiar with the phrase: Where there is a right there is always a remedy, except in all cases of damnum absque injuria-literally translated means a d- injury. It was in those brain-storming days we first acquired the habit of lulling our- selves to sleep at night with the maxims of Equity. Our Sophomore Year was climaxed by the crowning of Frances Kennedy as Queen of the Pandex Ball-as fair a rcgent as has ever graced the throne- In the review of our forensic foils, we boast of the triumvirate, Jesse L. Childers, James M. Scott, and James A. Moore, outstanding debaters, who will always be remembered for their logic and eloquence. Upon the attainment of our Junior Year we had reached the stage where we were prone to stride 'lwhere angels fear to treadf' viz: From a spend-thrift trust into a partnership which was hastily dissolved as we encountered the in- tricacies of corporate powers and liabilities. And, of course, the Migratory Bird Law was no mystery. Speaking of birds, well do we recall how a member of our class fwith flowing red locks-borrowedj migrated into the Circuit Court of the Kansas City School of Law, during the trial of a moot case, was found guilty of contempt of court, and suffered his locks to be shorn. Still another accomplishment of the Class of 1935 was the Pandex of 1934, edited by Mahlon Z. Eubank, assisted by Enid L. Walker and Duke Ponick. Classic Traditions of Lawn fand the laws pursuant theretoj was the theme nted in our Pandex which splendidly illustrated the evolution of the law. Surviving the austerity of the first three years, weathering the salvos and volleys of those academic stages, and emerging from many a wreck,' via the aid of the Doctrine of the Last Chancef, we finally have attained the rating of Seniors. Once again the Class scored and greater lustre was added to the scutch- PFCSC Ili' 14 fm irrki rijzulg mutt ilu equity 37 . 7 6, ii? .A iw it, STEPHEN C.

Gordon Siddens, Jesse L. Childers and James A. Moore opposed James M. Scott, Edward Benson, and William Scott, in the pleadings of the Candy Cascf, Roland Petering was chosen as Wfashington Day Banquet Speaker for the Class to carry on the splendid record of our past speak- ers, James A. Moore, Mahlon Z. Eubank, and Thurber Kelley. Not to be forgotten was the masterful manner in which Thurber Kelley, President of the Class, acquitted himself as toastmaster of that banquet-a delivery that earned him an enviable Commendation from the guest of honor, Dean Wigmore- After a long vigil and ceaseless burning of midnight oil, comes the Dawn- not the Subhi Kazib, but the Subhi Sadick-Graduation. Upon the shoulders of NVilliam Benton and James M. Scott the Class has placed the distinctive robes of orators for the commencement exercises. Arrayed in the flowing mantles and mortar boards of Commencement Day, eager for the degrees of LLB., we look beyond to the next goal-the passing of our bar examination. As time shall pass onward, the nights mature into years, and the rough stone wears smooth, would that fame could come to all of the Class of '35. Some of our classmen, undoubtedly, will serve as judges, others will hold public offices, while others will champion the rights of the accused and defenseless, counsel the ignorant, and toil unrewarded, perhaps, only to go down unwritten in history. May our fond remembrance of each endure to the final requiem. As the Class of 1935 has been, so may it continue Till the sun grows cold, And the stars are old, And the leaves of the Judgment Book unfoldf' HERMIA A.

First of all, the general purpose of the rules of evidence is merely to serve as a means to an end, that is, the correct ascertainment of the facts in litigation. Thus the natural action for the appellate tribunal would be to scrutinize the entire record of the evidence in the case to de- termine whether, without the erroneously ad- mitted evidence, the verdict should nevertheless have been the same as actually rendered, and if yes, then the judgment should be affirmed, and if no, then the verdict should be set aside. That conclusion seems to be the only one consistent with the rational and efficient system of an ap- pellate review in the administration of justice. Such was indeed once the accepted princi- ple and, in the original home of the common law, such it still is. But a different rule now prevails. An erroneous ruling on evidence by the trial court entitles the excepting party auto- matically to a new trial, regardless of the con- sequences of the verdict. The expression, 're- versible error,' used by many courts is the catchword of this rule, that is, the error per se requires a reversal mechanically. The consequences of this rule are increased expense of litigation, delays, unfair advantage to parties who can endure the cost of repeated appeals, fostering of the spirit of continuous gambling, the release of plainly guilty persons, and the encouragement of the lawless tendency to substitute lynch law for court law. The theory and reason for the rule, and its modern existence, I don't doubt, is temporary and in the jurisdictions of the United States has a complex explanation. There are several causes, some resting on legal theory and some due to general professional conditions. One theory has been that the party, especially the accused per- son, as the court says, has a clear legal right to the observance of the rules of evidence. It seems sufficient to answer that no man can have a legal right to have his case wrongfully de- cided. Another theory is that for the appellate tribunal to review the merits of the entire evidence would be to usurp the province of the jury. It may be said that an essential part of the jury trial always was, and still is, the control and correction of the jury's verdict by the court. So that in a system by which the court may refuse to send a case to the jury, lacking sub- stantial evidence. or may set aside a verdict contrary to the weight of evidence, it can hard- ly be deemed a usurpation of the jury's powers to confirm a verdict that is supported by ample evidence. Next the extraordinary theory, that a trial in court consists in playing the game, or is anal- ogous to a struggle of war, and I am going to read the language of a modern Irish judge only three years ago. He says: 'The object of our jurdisprudence is not to get at the truth and fact in each case. It is to get at the truth and fact in accordance with settled rules regu- lating evidencef That shows you, then, how far that theory sometimes has a hold in judicial minds. Now that theory, so it happens, has been found germane to the spirit of the bar in our country. It has ceased to be a mere theory, it has become a professional state of mind for many practitioners and judges, at least. A final reason for the maintenance of this rule is the frequently inferior status, in the minds of the bar, of the trial courts, and the consequent lack of conndence of the bar in the rulings of the trial judges. Take off by himself almost any active lawyer, and ask him if he would let the Supreme Court or the trial court change this rule of reversible error, and he would throw up his hands in horror. He doesn't have enough respect for the judges to be willing to trust them, he has to iight the case over and take another chance. This lack of confidence by the bar, I mean a large proportion of the bar, in the rulings of the trial judges has led inevitably to a desire by the bar for appellate review for strict and con- stant correction of these trial courts' errors. A few judges can make the bar, as a whole, very timid about cutting down these technical- ities which authorize an appeal. So, until that condition has improved, I mean an improve- ment of the relation of conHdence between bench and bar, the bar will hardly be disposed to abandon this rule of reversible error, despite all its irrationality and inefficiency.

Her subjects, embryo lawyers and their friends, graciously accepted her sovereignty and pleasantly were subdued during her most glori- ous reign, the cvc of the Pandex Ball. 57 1 PHOTO BY HARZI El,D,S STUDIO PANDEX BALL THE CORONATION OI' THE QUEEN A DANCE SCENE DURING THE BALL PANDEX BALL HE students and their guests who attended the Thirtieth Annual Pandex Ball, March 23, in the elaborately decorated Pompeiian Room of the Hotel Baltimore, succumbed to the attraction ofthe occasion, the coronation of the Pandex Queen, Miss Margaret Elias. The regal crown was placed by the Royal Chancellor, John B, Pew. The maids of honor, Misses Rebecca Dunn, Lucille Moore, Dorothy Davenport, and Lydia Rehner, ably assisted by the Queen of 1933, Miss Frances C. Kennedy, added beauty and lustre to the court. The photo flashes of the photographer, who had to picture the enjoyment, interrupted the ceremony and jarrcd the nerves of the few who were quite visibly affected, tho' the picture didn't record it. The hotel was captured and held victim in the power of the joyful merrymakers who could not confine their energized activity to the ball- room alone. On every floor the party was in vogue and couples were seen exploring the entire building. The crowd constrained themselves as only student lawyers know how, many were the impromptu speeches and bursts of song that night. Frequently new and original dances graced the heavily waxed floor, complimentary were the praises given the Pandex, and Donald Earnshaw, Duke Ponick, and Larry Agers, who aided in providing the affair. The pent-up desire to break from the hard studious winter was evidenced not only by the actions of the celebrity but also by their approval and compliments for the Pandex Ball and the melodies, provided by Reggie Farber's delightful music, which spirited the folks about the floor, and greatly enhanced the party. It was difficult to bring this successful event to end, but in the early morning hours the music ceased, the subjects of the new Queen released themselves from the magnetism of the floor and went their way homeward to plan and to wait the next ball.

Polk- the novelty, I Can't Dance -the girl in white and her dance-the glaring spotlight- the white tables and victims there-the scenes behind the throne and curtains-the couples on the dark mezzanine floors-the bar-broken glasses-those that weaved away- the double march time-and the cool air. 59 A word about the Faculty section. We could not hope. by this humble effort, to bestow greater honor upon our Faculty, but rather we desire to show the remarkable success that many of them have experienced, and further demonstrate their capability to be our instructors in the many and varied fields of the law. Too, it should serve as an inspiration to us that we have the opportunity to reach similar goals. Hugh McLaughlin, associate editor, is to be complimented for his excellent handling of this information. judge Powell, Dean Ellison, Mr. Leacy, and Miss Erwood, have always been of aid in solving the problems of the Pandex. They responded with cclerity and interest to our frequent requests for articles and timely advice. Any errors that have occurred, or important items that may have been omitted, are not intentional, but are chargeable to that human element which creeps into any work done by us poor mortals. We can only hope that the errors and omissions are few and of small importance. The Pandex should be a resume of the memorable, the pleasant, and the humorous events of the school year. Usually the work of a small group of students, we wish to thank all of the persons who have aided us. We hope it is the harbinger of the time when many will deem it an honor to participate in the varied tasks connected with the publication of a year book such as this. We present our work to you, we nail the flag to the mast, and challenge all others to take it. PANDEX STAFF BUF' F 'UK W. H. MCLAUGHLIN Associate Editor N., A?

The articles accomplished the purpose of conveying to the lawyers the importance of a thorough knowledge of photography. The importance of the subject and its heretofore lack of discussion was evidenced by the fact that many requests were received for copies of the articles. Another forward step was the granting of permission by Judge Merrill E. Otis to publish some of his opinions in advance of ofhical publication. They were of immediate interest to the members of the bar because of their timeliness and importance. There were many other contributors, all of whom wrote excellent articles, and the staff desires to thank each of these contributors for their splendid co-operation. No small measure of the success of the law review is due to the editor whose untiring efforts and ability have earned for the journal a well recognized position in its field. The staff members proved to be capable and earnest workers and their services were greatly appreciated. C. F. WOODLING, JR. LAW REVIEXV STAFF Q 55 1 V ' 1, A ARTHUR C.

WOODLING Assocmriz ramrort EDITOR Assocmre Eonon l LAW REVIEW ITH this, the third year of publication, the Kansas City Law Review has attained the qualification of being an accepted institution of the law school. The Law Review, a monthly legal journal, is published eight times during the school year, from November until June, by the students of the school. The purpose of the Kansas City Law Review is to publish condensed, authoritative articles expounding the latest developments in legal theory and practice. It seeks to promote the interests of the Kansas City School of Law, to act as an aid to her students and as a source of valuable information to her alumni, and to serve the best interests of the legal profession generally. In keeping with the modern format of the periodicals today, continual minor changes have been made in the make-up. The staff believes that the Kansas City Law Review is one of the most modern of its type. The continued publication of the review witnesses a wider and larger circulation from year to year. There is at least one subscriber in almost every town or city in the state, and the publication is received in practically all of the large law offices in Kansas City, St. joseph, and St. Louis. Tho' not connned within the state or the United States, it enjoys on its subscription list names from Germany and the Philippine Islands. Most lawsuils arc' won Ibrougb carcful preparation of ilu' faxes for frinl. 62 in my memory. The eminent and interesting companions to whom you introduced me were a rare treat, I wish to be remembered to each and all. Best wishes especially to the youthful toastmaster for his success in life.', We were highly entertained by one of our alumni, Alan Farley, '31, who sang a song, Ex Contractu, Ex Delicto, composed by Dean Wligmore. This selection told of law students' love and desires while studying at Northwestern University. Hylton Harmon, the Junior speaker, very adroirly extolled the valorous deeds of Wasliington and showed the need for such valor today. Roland Petering, Senior, told us of Washington, the master builder, who, though not a builder of great cities, provided the very foundation of our lasting constitution. Mr. Verr I.. Page, of the post-graduate class, demonstrated to us how our government fashioned after the ideals of this great leader, could and would survive the petty difH- culties which beset our country today. Mr. Francis O,Sullivan told us of the reunion activities of the class of 1915. He presented a panel in the dedicatory window in the Law School lounge. He proposed, too, that a more active Alumni be organized. Mr. Ralph Trogdon, class of '34, honor student, presented his class picture to the school and it was accepted on behalf of the faculty by Mr. David P. Dabbs, a faculty member. At the conclusion of the speeches, all joined in singing the school song, Our Law Schoolf, composed some years ago by judge Elmer N. Powell. Faculty and students alike finished an enjoyable evening with dancing to the rhythmic strains of jack Wendover's orchestra.

On this evening the Freshman and juniors were granted a continuance from their pursuit of elusive legal principles and, accompanied by the Sophomores, Seniors, Faculty, and Alumni, attended in the Colonial Room of the Hotel Muehlebach the most enjoyable and successful Washington Day Banquet that the Law School ever witnessed. After a delicious dinner had been served, Mr. Thurber W. Kelley, toastmaster and Presi- dent of the Senior class, introduced the class speakers. First, Mr. Ed Lavery, Freshman speaker, reminded us of Washington's burning spirit, which is our great heritage. Don Bush, Sophomore, compared our present administration's desires and problems to those tasks of W'ashington in promoting harmony between those great frontier statesmen and keeping the ship of state on an even keel. Judge Merrill E. Otis, president of our Law School, allowed his imagination full sway in introducing the principal speaker of the evening, Dean John H. Wigmore. Dean Wig- more invited here by his former student, Charles L. Carr, is Dean Emeritus and a professor at the law school of Northwestern University, and as expressed by Judge Otis, One of the half-dozen great men of law since the beginning of time, and the greatest living authority on evidence. Dean Wigmore gave some excellent advice and requirements for the successful young lawyer, saying, Hard work and industry come foremost, followed immediately by good character and old fashioned honestyf, Both these words, and the following, expressed by the Dean will remain in our memory as often as We do honor to Washington, our patriot. The reception given me at your institution was unsurpassable in its hospitality and geniality. The brilliant affair of the banquet will remain indelibly The slate cannot deny ibe vxixfenrc of u :fe jure corporufion. 64 Jewell College, Missouri Valley College, Park College, State Teachers College at Pitts- burg, and NVichita University. Each school entered two teams for five consecutive rounds of debating. Each team alternated sides, one round taking the negative and the next round taking the affirmative. Ed Lavery, one of the Law School's representatives, was voted the best debater in the tournament by the coaches of the nine colleges, and was awarded a silver cup by the Law School. J. Gordon Sidtlcns and XVilburn Smith debated against a negative team from Wichita University, and J. Moore and A. Kincaid argued with an affirmative team from the same school. On March 2nd, J. Moore and Bush as a negative team debated Drury College over radio station KMBC. On the same day Childers and Polk as the afhrmative debated a team from Culver-Stockton College at the Law School. Then on the 3rd, Childers and Strayer argued affirmatively against Drury before all the Sunday School Classes of Linwood Boulevard Methodist Church. On the next day they debated the question against a team from Kan- sas City University over NV9XBY, the television station in the Power and Light Building. On April lst Polk and Bush upheld the affirmative against a team from the Kansas State Teachers College of Emporia before a meeting of the Kansas City League of Young Democrats at the Hotel Muehlebach. Jesse Childers, a member of that club, acted as chairman of the debate. The same evening at the Law School, Lavery and J. Scott defended the negative against another team from the same college. We regret that Childers, J. Moore, Smith, Sidclens and Ponick will be lost by gradua- tion. Childers and J. Moore have obtained an enviable record, having debated on an inter- collegiate tearn during their entire four years in school and both will receive a diamond crested key at graduation. Too much credit can not be given to Mr. Ross Jones of the faculty who took Mr. Phillips' place this year as debate coach when Mr. Phillips was elected to the State Legis- lature. Mr. Jones gave freely of his time and energy and to him the debaters give thanks for the success of the past year. INTERCOLLEGIATE TEAMS Varsity A -Robert M. Polk Jesse L.

The council was formed September 30, 1925. Its purpose, as set forth in the constitution, is to promote debating, give proper awards and recognition to those partici- pating in the debate, and to assist the debate coach in securing debates. At the graduation exercises the School presents to the outstanding debatcrs a key, on which is inscribed a student lamp, an open book, the words Law Debate, and the letters K.C.S.L. HE Kansas City School of Law has enjoyed a most successful debate season just past. Immediately after the opening of school last fall, seventy-six students interested in debate were enrolled for instruction and practice in the preparation and delivery of speeches, in Mr. Phillips' public speaking class which met on Monday and Tuesday evenings. The national debate fraternity Pi Kappa Delta announced the question for all debates to be Resolved: That the nations should agree to prevent the international shipment of arms and munitions. Then Mr. Phillips and Mr, Jones, of the faculty, after holding try-outs and informal contests selected the intercollegiate teams for further work. The class teams were also chosen at this time. On February 4th and Sth all of the Varsity Teams engaged in a series of debates at the school to determine to whom the debating honors and the debate keys, for distinction in debate, were to be awarded. Then the debaters who were to represent the School in the Missouri Valley Debate Tournament, an annual event held at the Law School, to be February 15th and 16th, were picked. Miss Bessie Gay Seachrist, teacher of speech in the Kansas City Public Schools, Mr. Reginald Davidson, English Vice-Consul and Mr. Kenneth Hamer, former Superintendent of Schools and debate coach at Ellsworth, Kansas, acted as judges and rated the debaters individually in this order: Polk, Lavery, Scott, Childers, Strayer, J. Moore, Bush and Kincaid. Polk and Childers, and Lavery and Scott were selected as school representatives in the tournament. The Public Speaking Class of The Kansas City League of Young Democrats asked the two teams of Childers and J. Moore, as affirmative and Polk and Bush, as negative, to debate before them at the LaSalle Hotel, February 6th. On February 15th and 16th, the Law School acted as host to nine colleges entered in the Missouri Valley Debate Tournament. The schools represented were Baker University, Kansas State Teachers College of Emporia, State Teachers College at Kirksville, William A XIlCL'l'XX-fill laiuyer ix prinmrily u goat! slmlmf. 66 ff-.V 5,-.

If our purpose is to drive the car ahead we shift into a forward gear-if to back, we shift to reverse. Likewise, if we wish to find the leading judicial authorities the Descriptive Word Index, the Analysis, Words and Phrases, and the Table of Cases must all be consulted. Having found where the authorities are, we read the cases. A clear perception of what we intend to do and il knowledge of how it should be done enables us to do it well, and gives us that assurance that sets out the successful practitioner from his fellow-lawyers.

On December 15, 1908, Kappa Beta Pi International Legal Sorority was founded at the Chicago Kent College of Law. Since then the organization has been steadily growing until now Alpha Chi Chapter at Columbia University, New York City, is the 49th Chapter. There are chapters in every state in the Union, as well as in Canada, France, England, Holland, Switzerland, Germany, Brazil, China and the Canal Zone, besides eight alumnae chapters. , Four girls of Theta Chapter are in the graduating class this yearg all having been ac- tive in school activities. Frances Kennedy was Queen of the Pandex Ball during her Sophomore year, Enid L. Walker was Associate Editor of the Pandex during her junior year. Dorothy M. Mook was Secretary of the Junior class last year, and Hermia A. Rob- rock is Secretary of the Senior Class this year. At our Province Convention held in Kansas City last June, Marie N, Waltner was elected Province Dean. Last year Betty Moss received the highest award for her thesis on obtaining her master's degree. Gladys Barnes Donovan, Theta Alumna, is president of the Kansas City Women's Bar Association. Thus the girls of Theta Chapter strive to bring fame to Kappa Beta Pi, to uphold the standards and ideals of our sorority and to bring honor and glory to the First international sisterhood of the legal profession.

Marshall Flower: Red Carnation Colors: Purple and Old Gold Benton Chapter of Phi Alpha Delta, was established at the Kansas City School of Law in memory of Thomas Hart Benton, one of the dominant and picturesque personalities of early Missouri and American history. Since its inception in 1907 the chapter has grown in strength and influence, not only in school activities, but throughout the Bar of the City and State, until now it has an active alumni organization of several hundred members, including many of those foremost in the legal profession. Phi Alpha Delta, through these members, represents not only high standards in legal training and in technical equipment for the practice of the law, but also loyalty to high ideals and devotion to public service. lt demands not only knowledge of the law, but wisdom in its application, and in addition an appreciation of the social and governmental tendencies of our times.

Henrie Last year a small society composed of students from the Kansas City School of Law was sufficiently organized to form a legal fraternity, They formed to provide an opportunity for the group of students to study together, to make new acquaintances and worthwhile friends that would remain with them along the paths of the legal profession. Thus the name of Phi Delta was adopted. Actual legal problems were worked out at many of the meetings and many moot court sessions were held. Often during this year new fellows were at our sessions and we aided each other in studying for the many various examinations that were ours in schoolg once a week we also reviewed the subjects and lessons that were a part of the assignments for the last week. Our membership is very active in scholastic activities as is evidenced by representation on the Debate Teams, Pandex and Law Review Staffs, and committees of the many sorts. Each member acted as presiding odicer at one of each of our different meetings, the Scribe being the only elective office. HERBERT J.

J ZHHUTAHHI f4 4nmw f+ -f-.:fv,, A FORTY YEAR SURVEY This story is written by Dean Edward D, Ellison and Judge Elmer N. Powell, the survivors of the original founders of the Kansas City School of Law. The history of the Kansas City School of Law covers a record of four decades of whole- hearted, constructive service of its founders, faculty members, and alumni, always sup- ported by the press. The fine spirit-that loyal fraternity spirit seen and referred to by Dean John H. Wigmore at our last annual banquet, has been an important feature in the building of a practical law school here. Time and again the question has been asked: how did those young fellows, William P. Borland, Edward D. Ellison and Elmer N. Powell, ever come to think of founding a law school in Kansas City? Our best recollection is that the Kansas City School of Law had its Genesis in the Law Students' Club, organized in 1893, with the writers of this sketch, Mr. Rees Turpin and others as its founders. From those contacts, we realized the necessity of definite law training in Kansas City and we saw in this gateway of the West an ideal location for a night law school where worthy young men and women might gain a legal training while earning a livelihood. We sensed keenly the need of a high class law school in Kansas City and we felt that such a public enterprise as ours could be administered success- fully to meet this public want here. We realized that a great achievement like we planned and worked for could be won only by patience and earnest hard work, backed with strong ability. Just out of college ourselves, we young men were conscious of our own limitations, we therefore first sought the counsel of leaders of our bar like Judge Francis M. Black, then retiring from the bench of our Supreme Court, Oliver H. Dean, the late Edward L. Scarritt, Sanford B. Ladd, James H. Harkless and others. Their assurances of confidence and cooperation inspired us with new courage and a feeling that with their active sup- port we were well equipped for the undertaking, so that, in June, 1895, we incorporated the Kansas City School of Law under a pro forma decree of our Circuit Court, with the lawyers above named and other distinguished lawyers as our first eleven faculty members. We had courage a-plenty and this we needed. We had faith. We had energy, the energy of youth. We had ambition, the ambition to build a great law school in Kansas City that would rank with the greatest law schools of our country, and we submit we have won! The first practical question that confronted us was that of financing this new law educational enterprise. First of all, the items of equipment, the Hrst month's rent and the publication of our Announcements, Cas we styled our first little catalogsj. These naturally had to be met before our opening night. We sought no outside financial aid and well do we recall how we worked to overcome these financial difficulties, for we were with- out means of our own. We sold the idea of advertising to law book Concerns and mer- chants through their business cards in our announcements and thus overcame the initial expenses of our enterprise. The first installments of tuition, collected in advance from the twenty-seven first year students, was found sufficient to pay for chairs, tables and our little soap box platform. Opening night, shall we ever forget with what fear and trepidation we approached it, I wonder? Every faculty member was present to greet the twenty-seven students and to these short inspirational speeches were made by Judge Bl1Ck.

Moore, Gordon Siddens and others who composed the staff of that splendid law journal. This sketchy story would be incomplete without modest reference to the fact that out- side of the valued scholarship of the interest on one thousand dollars contributed by our beloved friend, Mr. Sanford B. Ladd, President Emeritus of our Law School, we have never in our history had any endowment other than that expressed by the good will of our alumni, faculty and the bench and bar of Missouri and other states. We have had Five Presidents of our law school during its forty years history. All have been inspirations to us all but none proved more inspirational, more cooperative and more helpful than our learned, brilliant President, Merrill E. Otis. Our faculty feels well justihed in pointing with monumental pride to our forty years record as a law school. It has been a record of achievement and of progress at all times, we feel. In conclusion, we submit that the Kansas City School of Law will stand as an enduring monument to the enterprise and courage of its founders, to the public spirit and con- secrated devotion of its faculty, to our splendid alumni, now scattered over thirty-five states, and to the host of other friends of our institutiong to all these belongs the glory of our achievement in building up the Kansas City School of Law to its present high standards. Amid the dusty files of the old court house I uncovered an aged document whose crisp fragile sheets had browned with the age of years. With intense curiosity I opened the seal. . . . It was a suicide note and its dimly penned lines disclosed the following startling in- formation: I married a widow with a grown daughter. My father fell in love with my step- daughter and married her-thus becoming my son-in-law, and my step-daughter became my mother because she was my fatheris wife. My wife gave birth to a son, who was, of course, my fatheris brother-in-law, and also my uncle for he was the brother of my step-mother. My father's wife became the mother of a son, who was, of course, my brother, and also my grandchild for he was the son of my daughter. Accordingly, my wife was my grandmother, because she was my mother's mother- and I was my wife's husband and grandchild at the same time-and, as the husband of a person's grandmother is her grandfather-I am my own Grandfather!!U -C0llfl'ibIlfUKI l7yjt1llIL'S Sw!! 79 The advantages of offering a two years' law course in a practical way, leading to the degree of LLB., were pointed out and emphasis laid on the fact that only practicing law- yers or judges serving on the bench were eligible to this faculty. It was believed then, as now, that the Kansas City School of Law was the first law school in the United States to make this requirement as to its faculty. In a few years the course was advanced to a requirement of three years and not long thereafter our Missouri Legislature saw fit to recognize the Kansas City School of Law by enacting a statute by the terms of which graduates of our school were admitted to the bar without further examination, which privilege continued with our school as long as it remained with any law school in the State of Missouri. A course of special lectures was soon adopted, comprised of jurists and lawyers of learning from Missouri and Kansas. A debate and moot court course soon followed. The school continued to grow in numbers and in fame. During the summer vacations, Messrs. Borland, Ellison and Powell made ex- cursions by horse and buggy to the principal towns of the State in which they distributed catalogs and stressed the merits of the Kansas City School of Law, In 1898 we had out- grown our limited quarters in the New York Life Building and secured more spacious quarters in the new Ridge Building. Up to this time our library consisted of a few text books and the Missouri Statutes. In the year 1910 the continued increase in the student body made larger quarters necessary and a lease was taken on the fifth floor of the Nonquit Building, 1015 Grand Avenue. Meanwhile, in 1906, the Pandex year book made its First appearance under the editor- ship of Mr. Frank W. Witherspoon, afterwards president of the Kansas City Live Stock Exchange, fraternities and sororities came into being, our Washington's Birthday reunion had become regular annual affairs and an ever growing fraternal spirit was extended by the student body to include basketball, football and an embryonic glee club sprang into existence. These outside activities faded out after a few years, however, because they did not fit into the picture of our law school program. The class spirit was not weakened but too many were employed during the day to keep up these activities. In 1923 the course was extended to four years. The beginning of a real library was made during our life in the Nonquit Building, with a separate adequate library room. Our faculty corps was enlarged to its present membership of fifty-one. Throughout these years, continued down to this day, the finest spirit of cooperation in the faculty and alumni and the bar generally was manifested. It was this spirit, we felt, coupled with continued hard work and devotion to law school duties, that put over this undertaking to the successful conclusion we witness today. It was not long till we became ambitious to create a building of our own. To this end, we tightened up our economic program so that the Treasurer was able to set aside a com- paratively substantial sum each year as the nucleus for a lot and building fund. The result of our planning is seen today in our permanent home, erected in 1926, and ex- clusively operated as a law school building, at 913 Baltimore Avenue, with its splendid library of eleven thousand volumes. We had now gotten away from the previous reputation of an exclusive night law school by our enlargement of quiz classes, covering afternoon sessions, and by the adoption of a Post Graduate Course. The advance step in requiring two years of college as a condition of matriculation took courage but has met with the hearty approval of all. Special mention here is deserved of the adoption in 1952 of a representative law journal, known as the Kansas City Law Review, directed by Mr. Charles C.

After diligent research, we Can't find anything Wrong, either on or about the silent Mr. Sligar. Herbie Swanson says President Roose- velt is wrong, that he ought to step down and let Herbie run us into the hole for awhile. What we like about Ed Thrasher is that he is so quiet and bashful all the time that he just sorta gets underfoot. Clite Weibel likes candy, so long as its yours. At least, if you Want to get married, the junior Class can provide the means. Hylton Harmon is a preacher.
