DEDICATION ss s, s: In the nine years during which CHARLES SHIRLEY POTTS has been Dean of the School of Law, enroll- ment has been doubled, the Faculty enlarged, the library increased by more than fifty per cent, the scholastic standards continually raised and the School admitted to the Association of American Law Schools. His valuable assistance in launching the Institute of Public Affairs and the University Press manifests his interest in the University as a whole. Widely known for years as editor of several caseh alts and author of numerous articles in legal periodicals, Dean Potts has also received recent recognition of his administrative ability in his selection by the United States Attorney General as Regional Director of the Survey of Release Procedure. To this excellent teacher, sympathetic man, in appreciation of his distinguished service to his students and to Southern Methodist University, we dedicate this volume of the ROTUNDA. at

FOREWORD The Great Southwest provided more than a place and a name; Kit prompted a spirit in the hearts of the Founders, which has grown into the hearts of those who came after them. Our state, in its one hundredth anniversary, stands as a monument to the efforts of its Founders. In this book we have tried to catch the spirit of this historical background. We have tried to show how the generous and brave spirit of the past has shaped and molded the present; has made possible the achievements of today. Mindful of our heritage, and hopeiui of the Future, we present the 1936 ROTUNDA. g.
