Desirous as the alumni and friends of St. Xavier were of singing Tia song of joy and praise in honor of Alma Mater, no song of this character had as yet been written. An appeal was then made by the committee in charge of the anniversary affair for; such a song, expressive of the esteem and loyalty and love in which the College was held by her sons. That appeal Was an- swered by Dr. Otte Juettner, of Cincinnati, an alumnus of 1885, musician and composer, practicing physician with high rank in the esteen of his profession, and scientist with an international reputation for research work in medical channels. Dr. Juettnefs composition was favorably received by the committee, and the melody of iiSing the song, and sing it loud and long, first resounded within the halls of St. Xavier on the evening of Washingtonk Birthday, 1915. with the author as accompanist. Yearly St. Xavier For Aye is becoming more familiar to all Xaverians, and meet- ing with the respect behtting its position as THE. song of St. Xavier.

THE XAVERIAN NEWS F orly-seven The Law College The Law College completed its third year of existence on June Ist. Graduation exercises will be held at Emery Auditorium on June 15th. The Law College is in the incipient stages. Years ago the faculty of St. Xavier entertained the' hope and idea of a night law school. This idea was formed into existencep and three years age the Law College was begun. That a night law school is necessary, not to say ex- pedienti is beyond dehial. There is, at the present, one day law school in Cincinnati. The number of young men who attend the day law school. is numerous. There are, however, many ambitious young men who, toiling through the day, cherish the aspiration of realizing a profession; and for such young men the law school exists. That these young men are entitled to a higher cducation by study at night, is self-asserted. The Law College has been a success in the three years of its existence. Whatever success the Night Law Schooll may write into the historical pages of Greater St. Xavier must be credited to the teachers and faculty. A school, we have so frequently heard, is just as good as the teachers. If this be the criterion. St. Xavier has a wonderful Law College. The law teachers are a group of prac- ticing lawyers of Cincinnati. These men have been weighed in the scale of experience, and found worthy. These very men. whom we see in the pedagogical robe in the evenings. have spent the day in the laborious and fa- tiguing work of a trial. or perhaps in the preparation of an important issue for the morrow. That these men have pre- pared themselves for the evening's class is manifested by the results they attained. We know of cases where the teachers have studied and prepared themselves for ten hours. Such men are to be commended; the productivity of their work is their reward, and the students. the Beneficiaries of their labor, recommend them to success in whatsoever they may attempt. To such men the success of the Laiw Col- lege properly and justly belong. At the time of this writing. 'the third year boys of St. Xavier have returned from Columbus, Ohio, where they have participated in the State bar examination. Fo'r three years these boys have been equipping themselves fer the battle; success in the examination admits the individual to practice law in Ohio. May the success of these boys in the State examination hespeak the success of St. Xavier Law College. . THE END
