The faculty had changed, but they allowed no time to be wasted, for they actually posted assignments of lessons, and ex- pected us to recite the very first day. Since then it has been a continual round of work and pleasure combined. Examination week at the close of the first semester is admitted by all to have been the worst that ever happened. But Prof. Costigan only smiled and said, VVait for Property III. And now, the last semester of our course is rapidly passing. VVe seniors are a serious bunchg there is no time for Hdeviltryl' now, for we will soon be up against the real article. VVe are proud of the fact that we entered the College of Law the same year, that Dr. Roscoe Pound became Dean. Wfe hope he is likewise proud of us, his first class. He says we have grown intellectuallyg at any rate, it is our own fault and not his if we have not. ' ' A better bunch of fellows was never gathered together than those composing the class of IQO6. Having been together for three years we have come to know each other personally, and the best of feeling exists among us. Perhaps even more than our great achieve- ments and good times, we will remember in after years the pleasing personalities of our fellow classmen. VVe now begin to realize how valuable our years here have been and will be to us. VVe appreciate as never before our Dean and the corps of instructors, all of whom have labored so faithfully with us and for us. Now we must work for ourselves. And although we are anx- ious to be started in our chosen profession, it will be with many regrets that the class of 1906 leaves the College of Law of the University of Nebraska. Q v Q 5 56

THE JUNIORS The lives of great men all remind us that we may make our lives sublime. It is from motives of sincere and tender solicitation for our descendants that we are determined to omit nothing from these worthy annals, which would convince them that they too may 'fleave behind them footprints in the sands of time. Surely to offer any further reasons, multitudinous as they are, to justify writing the history of the class of 1907 would be highly frivolous. Read of our deeds and prepare yourselves, lest flaming ambition quite o'erwhelm youg As we grow older and reminiscent, we recollect with broaden- ing smiles how, with bated breath and obsequious demeanor, we Hocked into our first law class and how, erect in our chairs of inse- cure construction, with eyes intent and ears alert, the present junior Class began its eventful career. Our instructors were most com- mendably patient. After much assiduous effort Dean Pound rc- marked that very few had yet learned the noble art of asking in- telligible questions. But some time later, elated at Burke Enyart's signs of improvement in this respect, he called a meeting of the class with a view to organization and suggested as temporary chair- man a bearded gentleman of judicial appearance, Merle Brown, who was accordingly installed. Then the Dean left us to ilounder our way through the sloughs of law school politics. Mr. Brown made such a prepossessing spectacle with his inoustaches that he stormed the meeting, and, when the clouds of strife had rolled away, he appeared as our guiding star. Burt C. johnson was elected vice-president. H. VV. Martin, as a result of adroit schem- ing with the three lady laws, captured the secretaryship. This bold display of feminine influence in another's favor stirred Wfilliam C. Parriott to thunder forth a rousing speech. The class reasoning that, if his strength of body equaled his strength of voice, he would be eminently fitted, when Enyart should attempt to retain the floor, to rescue order from usurping chaos, proclaimed him sergeant-at- arms. It is a striking instance of ideal self-government that in the junior class the need of a constitution with its complicated checks and balances has never been felt. The days wore on. Wfe began to, look less askance at the syllabig to listen with diminishing horror to Professor XVilson's cry from the desert that a number of the class were approaching the precipice of Mt. Flunkg to laugh less boisterously at Professor 58
