Jftcst- par iCauia GERALD G. MOORE ROBERT HARRY AKIN JOSEPH PATRICK KELLY Secretary-Treasurer President Vice President Naturally the greatest part of the law school is composed of the first-year students, commonly known as the Jackasses. They are its bulk, its spirit, its strength; they, who some day will head the legal profession. It is they whom the seniors leave behind, hoping to have helped to guide in the ways of the highest ideals of leadership and scholarship. The seniors leave for the first-year law students a responsibility to the law school, the legal profession and to this great nation. They will shoulder a mandate from the public to continue the high standard of character, ability, honor and ethics that the legal profession requires. Each student must possess this character, ability, honor and ethics because no constitution, no court or no law can give it to a student. The spirit of these standards arc the same today as they were two thousand years ago when the great teacher of man sought to instill in mankind these same standards. 30
