EUGENE DAVIS SAUNDERS. It has always been the custom of the Boards of this Annual to open the vol- ume by a dedication of its contents to some man or woman whose heart and soul have been linked with Tulane ' s growth Gibson, Alderman, Hurt, Rogers, Tulane, Dixon, Mrs. Newcomb, Chaill6, Craighead, Sharp, and Dillard have all been honored in the past. ' In keeping with this policy of honoring those who have honored us, we this year dedicate The Jambalaya to Eugene Davis Saimders, Dean of the Law School, and a man whose unselfish devotion to the interests of a handicapped department deserve more than a mere curt passing note. Bom in that State of the most distinguished children, Virginia, in Campbell County, July 25, 1853, Eugene Davis Saunders was educated at private schools in Charlottesville and at the University of Virginia, receiving his diploma from the Law Department of that institution in 1874. Admitted to the bar of Louisiana in 1876, he rapidly prospered and grew noted as a scholarly lawyer. To recite his legal career from that date to the time he ascended the bench would be to toll off the pages of the Louisiana Law Reports for thirty years. In some of the most famous cases that have received judicial attention in this State, Judge Saunders has been counsel for one of the parties litigant, and has thus prominently participated in the making of our laws. He became, early in the nineties, a member of the law firm of White, Par- lange Saunders, a firm whose fame is attested by the fact that each member subsequently became a United States Judge. White is now on the United States Supreme Bench; Parlange served as a United States District Judge for the Eastern District of Louisiana from 1895 to his death in 1907, and was in turn succeeded by his former law partner, Saunders. After White and Parlange became judges, the law firm of Saunders Gurley was formed, and remained existent until Saunders ' promotion to Parlange ' s place and Gurley ' s death dissolved it. Judge Saunders ' first connection with the Law School was in the latter nine- ties, as Professor of Common Law and Equity. In 1906 he was the prime mover in the reorganization of the School, and became Dean and Lecturer on the Louis- iana Codes. From several generations of dry rot, the Tulane Law School is to- day an aged but flourishing infant of the twentieth century, destined to become the leading civilian school of law in the United States. To Judge Saunders is this prosperity due, and the simple laurel of the dedi- cation of this volume is an acknowledgment of that fact. Judge Saunders is well known as a legal writer, having written an able text- book on taxation and having annotated the Louisiana Civil Code. In collabo- ration with H. H. White, he has issued a book of Notarial and Judicial Forms. We can only express our appreciation of his work for the University by this dedication. The highest praise would be too slight for him, and we can only express our gratitude by this simple token of our appreciation.
