Crocker, L. Sprang into existence at Filley, Neb., wl1e1'e he now lives. The Filley high school and Vlfesleyan University he attended before coming to the University Law School. It the experience of the ages counts for anything, this somber-eyed son of Erin is destined for great things. Cin- cinnatus was born on a farm, XVebster was raised there, Lincoln was a horny-handed clodhopper, Bryan lives on agriculture. and Crocker, like- wise comes from a sunny corn patch and the haunt of thistles and pumpkin seeds. Great things! If not, why not? Davidson, Roscoe B. Born in Lincoln, Ill. Home town Tecumseh, Neb. Formerly attended Grand Island College. Has an A. B. degree. Has the proud title of Financial Agent for Tecumseh National Bank. As such, however. his friends say, he acts only in the capacity of receiver, He signs himself as a member of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity and the Delian Literary Society. Has hopes of becoming an advocate, and even now there are indications of the judgeship lines in his countenance. Never smiles below the eyes, which are fathomless, murky depths of unsoundetl wisdom and deep, soulful purpose. Day, V. A. Claims Johnstown, Pa., as his place of residence. He was not at home at the time of the flood or would have gone to the bottom, as he is considered a heavy man in the Freshman Law class. He is a Wintei' Day, short, but bright and pleasant, very reticent and unassuming. He is noted for his ability to recall the names of cases long since forgotten by his fellow class-men. He finished a high school and taught some time in Pennsylvania. Sure, he will practice law and will be a success. Eager, Earl O. Born and bred in Lincoln. Attended Lincoln school and the State University. Was on the Varsity football squad '00, '01, '03, because the coach knew him to be eager. According to his own testimony his busi- ness is living easy, and whether he will practice law or not 'Kdependsf' Genial, bland, eager, his beaming, expansive smile has Won him Sigma Alpha Epsilon and many friends. Faulkner, E. J. Born in York, Neb. Moved to Lincoln. There attended Lincoln high school and Lincoln Business College. Is a member of Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. Having in mind his law average, when asked what degrees he held in the University, he replied with characteristic brevity, H30 below. With nlial support, he expects to succeed before the bar. Stray moments outside 'of his social duties, he concedes to law classes. A bold horseman, a knight errant, with an Apollo-like form, a Don Quixote daring, with the abandon and a la bizarre of a Spanish admiral, he fearlessly, recklessly, almost foolhardily, answers all legal questions whether from Sir Pound, Sir Wilson, Sir Cook, or Sir Robbins. 53
