THE POCKET Looking Backward — and Forward HE thrilling exploit of collecting data for year book of National University for 1926 is ended. Looking backward over the months that have elapsed since the class elected its “Year Book Committee,” we find certain figures standing out conspicuously in the midst of the many who have played an active part in making a success of the adventure. To these, and to the class as a whole, we express our sincere appreciation of their assistance and cooperation. Towering above everything else in the editorial landscape stands Mr. Verdi, Personnel Editor, and Chairman of two vital committees, the Personnel Committee and the Subscription Committee. In fact without Mr. Verdi how could we have produced “The Docket?” His able cohorts on both committees — Mrs. Avery, Miss Martin, Mr. Millard, Mr. Seitz, in fact, all of them — have been so faithful to the trusts imposed upon them that the entire class, indeed the University as a whole, is indebted to them for whatever success this year’s class book may have attained. Mr. Gray, our level-headed young Treasurer, stands side by side with the group of valiant workers. Not only has he guarded our financial treasures, but he has assumed entire charge of the most important matter of “railroading” the officers of the different classes, the individual members of our own class, and the organization groups, into and out of the photographer’s studio. So skillfully has he managed this difficult engineering feat that relatively few faces will be missed, and those through no fault of his. M iss Helen L. Moore, Assistant Editor-in-Chief, has rendered assistance without which the Editor-in-Chief would have been in danger of falling by the wayside. Mr. Gothner and other members of the “Art Colony” worked faithfully to produce graphic records in a lighter vein, and the fact that they are not tangibly represented in the pages which follow is traceable to the decision, reached, after consultation with members of the Advisory Committee and other members of the class, to bring forth a “strictly tailored” book, “professional” — in keeping with the dignity we are about to assume as members of the most dignified and learned profession. M iss Nita S. Hinman has rendered assistance in many ways, for which we express appreciation. We are due debts of gratitude, not compensable in a financial way, to Mr. Lettau, our official photographer, to the Jahn Ollier Engraving Company of Chicago, and to Kuehn Brothers Company, Inc., of Baltimore and Washington, printers, all of whom have been patient, considerate, and in every way cooperative. As we have turned the pages of year books which have preceded us, we have been impressed by the lack of uniformity in name and general make-up. “National,” “Stare Decisis,” “Ye Shingle,” “The Docket,” are some of the names which have been used, and if we had a complete set we would doubtless find a variety of additions to this list. 5

THE POCKET As we look forward, in imagaination, over year books to follow us, we can but express the humble hope that future generations of T ear Book Committees will perpetuate the name, The Docket, which is believed to be preeminently suitable for a law school annual. Our school has now reached such a size and such a degree of importance in the collegiate and legal worlds, that the yearly record of personal, social, and gen- eral information concerning its personnel, not contained in the purely scholastic records kept by the University itself, is a matter of great importance, and so considered by the Chancellor and other members of the Faculty. Of course, as everyone knows, each Year Book Committee is a law unto itself, but this flash forward is prompted by pride in our Alma Mater. —THE EDITOR-IN-CHIEF. “Dreams, books, are each a world: and books we know, “Are a substantial world, both pure and good. “Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood, “Our pastime and our happiness will grow.” 6
