Sl'l'1'l?fHI'j' Sophomores 4- -1- type of research practically new in the field of law, and one which is admirably suited to our situation in a city where we have courts in session every day, is being tried at John Hopkins University. It is the study of Law in Action -finding out whether the laws accomplish the purpose for which they are supposed to exist-rather than the prosaic legal attitude of finding out what the laws actually are. If you are inter- ested in biology, study the insanity question, if it is economics, delve into the expense and uncertainty of litigation. Sociology, psychology, and psychiatry are Wonderful mediums for this Work. In our curriculum the limited time has compelled our efforts to be directed to the study of the fundamentals of law and leaves no provision for organized research such as is found in other colleges. Any work which is done along this line must therefore be individual. Let us not succumb to that pedantic attitude of so many students of law and quote what is as right, for it is only by ascertaining whether the existing legal system pro- motes or retards the desired ends that we shall feel justified in our efforts. With the background that We now have, individual or group investigations of the living application of law should give us information which would make more interesting our future study and more illuminating our past efforts. 1 Q-f I l -' 'f- t .i If gvrf ff--Z M- V K ,, , .

CONLRE Pnnfiflmzl .S'ccrelary Freshmen 'C' 'Y' O larger class has entered Northwestern and set its feet eagerly, yet apprehensively, upon the fearful, shining path that leads to legal learning. Now, through the jumble of judicial phrases, the maze of ponderous books, the forfeiture of recreative hours, and the scurry of crowded days, we find that path still before us, steep, but straight and true. Along this, way we are attaining not only that wisdom which is in the books, but that which comes from congenial, understanding hours spent with fellow men. We are discerning the truth of the milestones marked by two great statesmen-that the law is the perfection of reason, but that mankind will not be reasoned out of the feelings of humanity. The law is what it is, a majestic edifice, sheltering all of us, each stone of which rests on another. Our ambition is that another three years will find us still traveling together and that those years will be as fruitful and as creditable as those of our predecessors. And in realizing that ambition, we find ourselves already deeply indebted to our assiduous instructors and our sympathetic upper classmen. May we prove worthy of their sagacious guidance.
