The Chancellor’s Farewell HE time is here, I am reminded, for the customary word of farewell through the medium of THE DOCKET. The attendance at the National has been for three years one of your major interests in life. During that time probably a major- ity of all of those who at one time or another were your class- mates have dropped out or fallen by the wayside. It takes a real man to complete his law course at a night school, and especially at the National, with its high standards of classroom work and examinations. The faculty constantly derives new stimulus from contact with the type of student who will not be denied. It is not difficult, therefore, for me as their representative confidently to predict a high average of success for you, in the law or in avocations in which a legal education will be helpful. Before you entered the law school you had demonstrated an ability to earn an honorabl e livelihood. While in the school you proved your ability to carry a double load of sacrifice and industry. You need not fear the com- petition of those who at the date of their graduation from institutions of greater prestige in purely academic circles can look back upon those advantages and opportunities only which have come to them through the generosity and bounty of others. You may be assured that the officers and faculty of the School will watch your future progress with interest and gladly welcome the opportunity to help you in any and every way. Good-bye, therefore, and continue to deserve the best of luck. Charles F. Carusi. Chancellor. Page 16
