QQe Dedicate ow often, in our consideration of the law of contracts, have we learned that the basic requirement of a good and valua- ble consideration is amply fulfilled by the term “love and affection” ? Flowing out of the oldest and greatest form of contract, that of Matrimony, the consideration of love and affection provides the inspiration for this book. Without the germ of ambition, the desire to do worthwhile things, firmly implanted in our makeup as we were first sent toddling off to grade school, we could never have reached our coveted goal. Through the years of high school and later into the whirl of the struggle for advancement in the world of business and gov- ernment, the spark of ambition has remained alive because it had its origin in the precepts laid before us in early life. In the hope, therefore, that whatever success we may have thus far attained or which may be ours in the future, may in a small measure serve to justify the hopes, prayers and ambitions which have followed us through childhood, school and university, we lovingly DEDICATE the Docket for 1940 — to Our Mothers and Fathers

CQt ipau Tribute x ✓ ✓ and express our appreciation of William F. Martin, Attor- ney, compiler of briefs, monitor and friend. Our class motto could very well be “When in doubt, consult Martin”. His ready counsel, his sage and salty philosophy have endeared him to us all. We here- by proclaim him the only honorary member of the class of 1940.
