W Freeland Kendrick MAYOR City of Philadelphia ornct or the mayor Edward Loeb SECRETARY l jrch twor.ty-fifth, 1 9 2 6. To the - Sosqui-Centennial Class, Temple University Law School, Philadelphia, Pennc. Greetingst- As Juayor of this City, in tho publication of tho First Annual School; especially in view of the fact closely allied. it is a pleasant duty to participate Docket’’ of tho Teraplo University Law that lawyer and government are so It is indood a happy coincidence that your Graduation occurs in this momorablo year of history - tho Sesqul-Centonnial Yoar of American Indopondonce, and that your entrance into the servico of your country, Judioial and political, will always be associated with this national anniversary. The celebration is planned to be, and with the assistanoo of ovory Philadelphian will be a most dignified and patriotic ovent. At this time, I cannot refrain from making mention of tho fact that during the pa3t year Philadelphia has suffered a tremendous los3. Dr. Russell H. Conwell, founder of Temple Univorsity and ono of tho outstanding figures in national life in our generation, was taken from us. The heads of tho Amerioan pcoplo, and especially those of Pennsylvanians and Philadelphians, are bowed in sorrow over his passing. His life was an Inspiration to all of us, and I feel that the graduates of Temple this year will carry away from that great Institution a heritago born of the fact that his lost active moments wore spent with and for them. Dr. Conwell was a great patriot. He served his country In time of peril and in times of peaoe. It is for you, 1 feel, his students, to carry on as far as potsiblo, his grout work. Wishing Temple University, its students and tho 1926 graduates every success, and v.ith kindest regards, 1 am - Cordially yours.

I here arc over 100 students in the school including the late afternoon classes. During the years the student body has scattered so that today it has representatives in many states of the union. Graduates of the school or former students are to be found in West Virginia, Michigan, New York, Texas, Florida, California, Washington and even in Vancouver, B. C. In the great war, the law school also did its part. One hundred and four students and alumni went into the service of the nation and did their part. Two gold stars on the school service tlag keep in mind Lieutenant Emmanuel B. Wilson and Sergeant Isadore S. Clair, while others who were not called on for the supreme sacrifice saw service of the sternest kind from Belleau Wood to the end of the Argonne fighting and went with the army into Germany. A review of the student list shows so many prominent men now at the bar, and on the bench, that it is difficult to make a selection which does not leave out some worthy of note. 1521 Locust Street 31
