TEXAS February 8, 1963 TO THE LAW STUDENTS: I am confident that all of you have been acutely aware of the inadequacies of Townes Hall for an enrollment of the 1,000 students which we had at the beginning of this school year. The reading room of the library has been overcrowded at times; the number of classrooms and seminar rooms is insufficient; some of the classrooms and seminar rooms have left much to be desired; and the noise that inevitably accompanies construction of a large building has been disturbing. Even so, I believe that classroom instruction and discussion have remained at a high level and you have continued to engage in and improve our extracurricular activities in moot court, on the Legal Research Board, and on the Texas Law Review. This result could not have been obtained had it not been for your patience and cooperation. For this I am most grateful. To those of you who will be in school next year--that is, the great majority--I can assure you that we will have completely adequate facilities for up to 1,500 students with such important features as closed circuit television, the very best in four new classrooms, improved seminar rooms, at least double the study and reading space in the Law Library, and last, but also important, about 5,000 square feet of space for use by the students and the Student Bar Association officers for such purposes as offices, lockers, coffee facilities, a lounging area, etc. The last has been a long time in coming but space of this kind has been needed and it has been something that the University had an obligation to provide. I hope it will be used with restraint and in good taste. To those of you who will graduate I should like to say that the opportunity for effective service by the lawyer has never been so favorable. I know that you will be a credit to the Law School and I trust that as an alumnus you will help us to develop an even greater Law School than we now have.

The law is not only an-intellectual pursuit, one which trains the mind to be quick and perceptive and sinks deep roots in the modes and history of human thought and experience, but it is a sophisticating pursuit and leads a student far beyond the confines of jurisprudence. Each class assumes a greater responsibility and a more difficult task as it advances in seniority each year. Those of the graduating class have a vast new world before them with its newness and almost unlimited opportunities. For the mid-law student the next step is not so large, yet there is a step. Every member of every class must take the step with an increasing awareness of his duties that he may be prepared for the greater strides he may desire to attempt during his career. 60 Mid Law Abel, C.

Trinity University Rockwall, Texas First-Year Law Class Officers John Crews Barney Oden Larry York 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 because no constitution, no court or no law can give it to a student. The spirit of these standards are the same today as they were two thousand years ago when the great teacher of man sought to instill in mankind these same standards. First Year Aaron, William L.

University of Texas Amarillo, Texas Oden, Barney, Jr. Texas Western College El Paso, Texas 99 History of The University of Texas School of Law and the Story of the Peregrinus 1883 1963 Saint Ives, Patron Saint of all law students, has nothing on the Peregrinus ns a Patron Saint. The Peregrinus was created in December, 1899, and was adopted by the Junior Law Class in 1901 as the Patron Saint of the Law School. Another symbol of the Law School is Portio, the sweetheart of the Low School. This position of honor is derived from the heroine of Shcnkcspearc's famous play, the Merchant of Venice. As the story goes, Portio, in trying to save the life of a friend, displayed, in addition to her beauty, great wisdom and profound legal ability in her eloquent plea to Shylock to be merciful. The first Portia was Miss Mary Pearl Hall who was elected in 19-J9. She is now Mrs. Jcrrc Williams, wife of one of our esteemed professors. If it's mystery you're looking for, or humor, or intrigue, add the word Peregrinus to your vocabulary. The magical quality of this tongue-twister is that even its casual utterance will transform a seemingly sophisticated aloof tribe of scholars into a group of collegians who are as fond of monkeyshines as the rest of the world. Oddly enough, the magic of the word, which may be found in any respectable Latin dictionary, lies not in the meaning, but in the corruption of its pronunciation. The initiated say Perry-gri-NOOSE, and Latin scholarscan go climb a tree. Like other magical abracadabras, the word is potent only in its home environment, which is Townes Hall, located on the northeast corner of the Forty Acres. A brief consultation of your Rand-McNally should identify this section of the universo as the domain of Charles A. Wright's legal Eagles; but, more specifically, the School of Law. And this revelation, no doubt, will precipitate a good deal of eyebrow raising. What's this?'' you say, extracting the curl from your lower lip. Legal intrigue? Jovial jurisprudence? Who is pulling whose leg? No legs involved, but it is apparent that the lawyer and the law student, away from their books and legal paraphernalia, lead wholesome, undiluted lives in much the same pattern as the rest of the species. It is actually an oddity v hen one of them uses the word whereas more than twice at the breakfast table, and it has even been said that lawyers pay more fines per capita for traffic violations than any other professional group. To the average University student, nonetheless, the School of Law remains a ncvcr-ncvcr-land of heavily-indexed volumes of divorces and oil titles, inhabited by a species of natives vaguely identified as Legal A inds. It is a region of gobblcdy-gook language in which any subject is always good for an oration or an argument. The Law School has always seemed a little detached—not to say aloof—from the rest of the University flock, partly because of its position as a graduate-level school, partly because of its concentrated position in one building on the campus, and partly because Dean Keeton wants it that way. The occupants of Townes Hall still refer to other parts of the Forty Acres as being up on the hill, and it's a rare occasion when a law student has a course that takes him to a higher altitude, unless it might bo Jurisprudence. But 'tis more than folly to pass the lawyers off as soulless bookworms, because any first-year Jackass can deftly point out that of all the divisions of the University, the Lav School has the oldest and most cherished traditions, among the highest scholastic merits, and some of the most active graduates in places of honor in all parts of the world. Notice that I referred to first-year students os Jackasses; 'tis proof that stare decisis is not inflexible. Let's go back to Peregrinus, as a point of illustration. Perry was created in 1899 and was given a coronation as the mystic patron saint of the School of Lav in 1901. The birth of Perry took place in the lecture room of one of the most colorful and belovod of tho early lav professors. Colonel W. S. Simkins. It was the Colonel's first year of profossoring, and his students were intrigued by the v ay ho pronounced—or mispronounced—somo Latin terms. One day in his Equity class he asked a student to identify the word Peregrinus, which v as the name of an ancient Roman official, whose full name v as Praetor Peregrinus. The student swung too low on the curved pronunciation, however, and guessed, Wal, I don't know. Judge, 'less it could be some kind of animal. This student was Jim Livingston McCall, a star Longhorn football player who v as the ccntor on the team. Another version of the incident by those who believe it v as 1900 and not 1899 that Peregrinus was born, claim that the incident took place after Texas beat A. M. on Thanksgiving. McCall was asleep in class when called on because he hod been up tho night beforo celebrating the victory. Nevertheless, it v as too good to let die, and in practically nothing flat another student, the late Russell R. Savage of Corpus Christi, drew a picture of the imaginary animal in class and on the blackboard the next morning before class. The sketch was later copied in a plaster statuette, which was installed as the idol of the Lav School. The small orange and white figurine has also been securely installed in the hearts of thousands of students through the years. Since early in the century Perry has been the symbol of a feud between the lows and the Engineers, with the result that he has been captured and taken for a ride several times. If is not known for certain, but it is believed that tho currcnt, Porry is the fourth edition of the original. Perry is always the subject of inquiry by first year students; some have asked v hy a duck appears on the official senior ring. But, it doesn't take long before these students learn that the Peregrinus is the patron saint of the law School and join thousands who for more than half a century have shown their love, admiration and respect for Perry. In discussing the Roman Court that set up the cases involving foreigners, Colonel Simkins told of the judge who presided over tho court and, intentionally or unintentionally, he pronounced Praetor Peregrinus as Pcregrinoos, and to this day if is still so pronounced. Savage drew the picture on the blackboard and when Professor Simpkins arrived he saw that the creature had the tail of a fox, the body of a donkey, the eyes of an eagle, the head of a stork, and vicious fangs. On his front feet were men's shoes and on his rear feet were boxing gloves. Later a claw replaced one front shoe and an Irish ditcher's boot replaced the other. Colonel Simkins first gave significance to the features and through the years his comments picked up other traditional meanings. The fiery mouth was to fight injustice and represent the wido latitude of a bill of equity; the bushy tail of a fox represents the wise and skillful lawyer or the shrev d and crafty one, and the tail is to brush away the cobwebs of complication so that all people can clearly see justice and so that the technicalities of the law do justice to the merits. On the Peregrinus' front foot the Irish ditcher's boot indicates tho lav 's protection of the least of mankind. On the other front foot ihc naked claws indicate that the greatest of mankind must fear its power. His hindquarters are those of a dog, man's most faithful friend. The spotted patches indicate that even tho most beautiful days will have a few clouds. The arched back in the attitude of springing indicatos that the lav is ever ready to protect right or prevent v rong. The sharp extending beak indicates the power to penetrate the mysterios of the law which the true student must obtain by study. The law students had the Saint's figure embroidered upon their pennants and banners. This caused envy among their rivals, the Engineers, who set forth to create their own image of a patron saint, Alexander Frederick Claire. Later, a very large image of Peregrinus was made and mounted on a pedestal. It was kept in the Dean's Office and only brought out on special occasions. On one occasion the image v as acquirod by the hated Engineers and cut to pieces; parts were distributed as souvenirs and a part was given a decent burial with honors. In retaliation, the law students captured the Engineers' patron saint, Alexander, and made pictures of him in a pig sty, but they did not resort to murder. The Engineers who v crc responsible for the death of the first Peregrinus v orc tried in a District Court, but were exonerated. Today, there is an official Kcopcr of the Peregrinus. For many years aftor the birth of the Peregrinus, first-year students 100 were required to greet upperclassmen with Good morning, how is your Peregrinus today? Dean Emeritus Charles S. Potts of S.M.U. School of Lav said that it all came about in this way. The Colonel in his course in Equity had occasion to trace the origin and development of this branch of the law. He explained that in the early centuries of the Roman Republic, a judge or judicial officer, known as Praetor Urbanus, enforced the law and edicts upon all persons within his realm. But os trade and commerce grev and more foreigners visited the growing metropolis, the Romans found it desirable to settle disputes in which foreigners were involved by a more flexible system of laws, based on the principles of natural right that are said to hove been written by the finger of God on tho hearts of men. For the purpose of administering this more universal low the Romans appointed a judge known as the Praetor Peregrinus. Colonel W. S. Simkins, or Old Simp, as ho was affectionately called by the students in his classes, reigned for thirty years which began in September 1899 and ended with his death in 1929. He v as the spitting image of Mark Tv ain. Colonel Simkins v as the most colorful character ever connected with this Law School; he was at Fort Sumter in 1861 and a graduate of the famous Citadel in Charleston, South Carolina. He v as the founder of the Ku Klux Kian in Florida and v as an underground fighter against the carpetbag troops. In the conservative tradition of' the lav , he defended States' Rights, and in the manner of Socrates, his students would follow him wherever he wont to hear his opinions and beliefs. He coined the name Perry for Peregrinus. The contagion of the name Peregrinus spread. Not only was it applied to the sacred effigy, but the Colonel himself did not escape, and was often referred to as Old Percgrinoos, or Perry, for short. Tho law-class yell ran. Rah, rah, rah—Rah, rah, Roos Simkins, Simkins—Percgrinoos Laws! Laws! Lav s! !! Another early incident helped greatly to endear the Colonel to tho sporting element of the lav school. Some enterprising youngsters, noticing that the Colonel v as usually several minutes late coming into the classroom, felt a strong urge to put his green-topped desk to some appropriate use. Accordingly a small knot of them gath-crcd around the desk, and the bones began to roll. Each day the group around the desk grew larger and the stakes became higher. To prevent surprise, a listening post was established, and when the lecturer was heard approaching, the dice and the money quickly disappeared, the boys slid into their seats, and by the time the Colonel reached his desk, they were all poring over their books in righteous sludiosity. Sometimes their plan failed to work, but the Colonel never mentioned what ho may have seen or heard. Nevertheless, the goings-on finally reached the ears of Dean Townes, and the culprits were summoned for a hearing before the faculty. After a few witnesses had been examined, the Dean turned to Colonel Simkins and asked him a few questions: Had he, on entering his classroom on several mornings, noticed the boys gathered about his desk? Yes, he had. Did he know that some sort of game v as being played on his desk? Yes, he did. But, he added, with a sly wink at the defendants, I thought they were playing tit-tat-too! The hearing got nowhere, but the Colonel's stock experienced a sudden bull market on the campus, especially with the seven-eleven boys. For many years. Colonel Simkins lectured to the class in Contracts, a large and rather boisterous group of first year students. On one occasion the class bell at the noon hour rang before the Colonel had finished his lecture. When he calmly ignored the bell and went right on with his lecture, the boys became restless and began to shuffle their feet on the floor. Still the Colonel ignored them and went on more vigorously than ever. Just then a donkey, which someone, possibly with malicious intent, had tied to a tree near the lav building, opened up in a voice that could be heard a mile away. When the music outside had ceased and the uproar inside had partially died down, the Colonel shouted, Get out, you young jackasses! Your brother's calling you to dinner. Pandemonium broke loose afresh as the boys made a rush for the door. From that day the first-year law students v ere known as Colonel Simkins' Jackasses, or J.A.'s for short, an aroma that still persists sixty years later. The Colonel, like most southern-reared men of his day, was addicted to the filthy weed. As he bent low over his office desk, preparing his lectures or the manuscripts of his many published lav books, he usually had an unlightcd cigar in his mouth—destined to perish by flood rather than by fire. On one occasion when passing through the law building, he came upon three or four young jackasses idling in a classroom at an off-hour. In the middle of the group he noticed a puddle of ambeer on the floor. Assuming his fiercest mien he demanded of the nearest boy: Henry, did you spit on the floor thcro? No, Colonel, said Henry abashed, I didn't do that. Frank, did you spit on the floor? No, Colonel, said Frank, I didn't do it. George, persisted the irate Colonel, did you do that? Cornered at last, George shifted his cud, swallowed hard, and said, Yes, Colonel, I did. Then, give me a chaw of tobackcr, said the Colonel, as ho broke into a laugh. George v as so greatly relieved that he felt like giving him the whole plug. Many interesting stories duster about the Colonel and his 40 H.P. Hupp, a powerful car for that day. He named it Old Equity, for tho reason that ho paid for it v ith the profits from his first book, Simkins on Equity. In one of his first escapades with Old Equity, the Colonel found himself sitting on his neighbor's lawn with the roar v all of his ov n garage draped about him. The brakes didn't hold, he explained v ith a sheepish grin. His foot had found the accelerator instead of the brake-pedal. Nothing seemed to give the Colonel more exhilaration than driving that open car at a furious rate v ith his white hair, which ho v oro down to his shoulders, a la Matk Twain or Buffalo Bill, streaming out bohind him. On ono occasion he whizzed down Congress Avenue and made a short left turn into Sixth Street. The traffic cop in the middle of the intersection—Austin's first symptom of budding cityhood—blew his whistlo furiously and demanded that the Colonel back up and drive around him. I'll come back tomorrow and drive around you, the Colonel shouted over his shoulder as he stopped on the accelerator. A similar incident occurred in Dallas when the Colonel first drove his Hupp to that North Texas metropolis, over the 200 miles of narrow, crooked, muddy roads. How many runaway teams and v recked farm wagons he left scattered along the way the chroniclers do not tell us. But after he reached the city he enjoyed the paved streets and the excited pedestrians. The traffic cop at Main and Akard, the busiest crossing in the city, sought to halt him. Get out of the way, young man, shouted the Colonel, or I'll run over you! The command was instantly obeyed, and another life v as saved by the Colonel's foresight. Some years later, when his very good friend from Alaska, Rev. Hudson Stuck, Arch Dean of the Yukon, former Dean of St. Matthew's Cathedral in Dallas, came to Austin for a visit, the Colonel took him out for a ride in the country. He drove like a jehu. Aftor fifteen minutes of bouncing over the boulders in the hills north of tho city, Ihe Dean asked the Colonel to stop the car. When tho v hocls skidded to a stop, the Dean got out of the car and started back toward Austin. Where arc you going? asked his host. Colonel Simkins, said he, I've braved the terrors of the Alaskan winters, and I've conquered Mount McKinley's twenty thousand feet of snow and ice, but I can't stand your driving—I simply can't take it. I am walking back to Austin. It was only v ith great difficulty, and after many promises, that the Colonel was able to get his friend into the car again for a more careful journoy back to the city. Another life was saved—but this time by tho Dean's foresight. One of the Colonel's weaknesses v as his fondness for applause. It was a part of his nature that manifested itself in many ways. His lato but hurried entry in the classroom, v ith a shake of his long while locks, like the leading actor's entry on the stage, was expected to draw a round of applause. It alv ays did. The hand clapping that greeted his entry in the oarly days of his service, gradually gave way as the years passed to yelling and pounding of books on desk tops—a momentary uproar that could be hoard all over the campus. On one occasion the boys decided to play a trick on the Colonel. They agreed among themselves that his entry at the next class should be greeted by complete silence. This conspiracy was carried out perfectly. As the astonished Colonel took his seat and glanced around the room at the solemn faces, he demanded, What's the matter v ith you young jackassos? Have you lost your voices? The roar of applause that greeted this sally fully answered his question. Not long afterwards the Colonel proved that he too could play tricks. It came about in this way: each year when each class reached a particular place in his course in Equity, he would give them an hour's written quiz. As the years passed it became common knowledge about the school that the questions used v ere alv ays the same. So as the time for the quiz drew near the students worked up carefully the answers to these questions, and gave little attention to the rest of the course. The quizmaster, being a conscientious man, called the Colonel's attention to the situation and urged him to make a new set of questions, but the Colonel said No. On quiz day the students were greatly pleased to see the old familiar questions. They had visions of the posted grade sheet with a big fat A after their names. Imagine, then, their chagrin v hen a string of F's appeared. An indignation meeting appointed a committee 101 to wait on the Colonel. They pointed out to him that they had learned that the questions were the same as those of the previous year and their answers were substantially the same. Then how, they asked, was it possible that they had all mode F's when the previous class had made A's. Oh, yes, said the Colonel, the questions were the same all right, but I changed the answers on you! They all joined in his infectious laughter. The incident was closed, but the F's still stood. Tho present Honor System came info being in 1935, six years after the death of Colonel Simkms. Colonel Simkins was fond of innocent sports of all kinds. It was usually a roisterous gallery that gathered around tho billiard tablo at tho University Faculty Club to see Old Simp and Suttonius (Prof. W. S. Sutton) struggle for the club championship. The Colonol usually won, and held tho championship in pool as well as in billiards until advancing years dimmed his eyesight and unsteadied his hand. The Colonel was also adept at most games of cards. John A. Lomax, America's leading collector of ballads, enjoyed tolling of their games, when he and the Colonel wero matched as partners against the Colonel's two daughters, Elizabeth and Helen. From time to time the Colonel would break into good-natured raillery at his partner's stupid plays: Did anyone ever have such a nitwit for a partner! John, you might make a good wooden Indian for a cigar store, but you'll never know anything about cards. Lomax, who served many years as Registrar of the University and later as Secretary of the Ex-Students Association and Editor of their monthly magazine The Alcalde, became in his day a sort of father con-fessor to all sorts of people in trouble, faculty and students alike. President Mezes once called him a heart specialist, and expert in smoothing out troubled human relations; just as the Colonel found him when trouble overtook him. Soon after the Colonel had passed his four-scoro milestone, the University Regents, having no retirement system reduced both his teaching-load and his salary, by fifty percent. Worse still, the action was taken without any notice whatever to the Colonol. Naturally it came as a great shock to the old war horse, and he turned to his friend Lomax for help and comfort. He explained that he had saved little or nothing from his salary and that he and his daughter would have difficulty in living on the stipend left to him, Lomax promised to look into the matter and see what, if anything, could be done about it. Accordingly, he arranged a conference with the acting President. He soon saw that he was getting nowhere, so he played his trump card. He would publish in The Alcalde an appeal to the old law students who had studied undor tho Colonel, to send him contributions to a fund to enable the Colonel to live out his days in comfort. The President protested, and finally forbade the publication. Thereupon the Editor rose up in righteous wrath. He informed the President that he was not taking orders from the President of the University, that he held his position by election of the directors of the Ex-Students' Association, and was responsible to that body only for what he published in The Alcalde. The appeal was published. While many alumni sent in checks, most of them turned loose on the President and Board a storm of protest that speedily got the desired result—the Board at its next meeting reversed its action and restored the major portion of the salary cut. Toward the end of his career, when he was well up in the eighties, the Colonel had a slight heart attack in the classroom. The boys got him into a car and drove him directly to his home on Rio Grande Street. His daughter, Elizabeth, Mrs. Harris Mestcrson, who was his housekeeper and ever-watchful caretaker, happened to be away from home at tho moment, but Mrs. Campbell, wife of Professor Killis Campbell, who lived directly across tho street, hurried over to render her services. When the Colonel saw her, he said, Get my whiskey, there on the closet shelf. When she brought the bottle he turned it up and took a long swig with evident relish. A few minutes later the doctor, who had been summoned, arrived and, aftor a hasty examination, ordered Mrs. Campbell to give the patient a tablespoonful of whiskey. Without a word of what had just happened she carefully measured out a tablespoonful and administered it to the patient, all tho time wondering whether she had killed him. A short time later, after another examination, the doctor left, assuring those present that the Colonel would be all right, and marveling at the patient's speedy response to his treatment. But it was clear that the Colonel's strength was failing. Finally, in the spring of 1929, as the redbud along the creek banks and tho bluebonnets on the prairies were adding their luster to the City of the Violet Crown, the grim reaper found the Colonel squarely in his path. The next day many an old lav grad, throughout Texas and the Southwest, found a lump in his throat or brushed away a silent tear, as he heard of the Colonel's passing. His mortal remains lie buried in Greenwood Cemetery, in Dallas, but his colorful life and his tender heart have become an enduring tradition in the School of Law. There has nevor been a professor that was loved and worshipped by so many as Colonel Simkins. Colonel Simkins gave his own view of the Pcrogrinus: You ask for the origin of Pcrogrinus. I well remember its birth-in fact I was present at the accouchement. This nondescript sprang fully armed and equipped for its mission not from a mental Jove, but from the disordered brain of a Savago. Many years ago I was trying to explain to the class in Equity, the origin of the system in Rome and the sources of Equity in the Roman Empire. At that time fledglings just from the high schools were admitted to the Law School. Many of them had never heard of the Roman Empire, and not a few spelled cow with a K. They often reminded me of the school boy who when asked by his teacher when Georgo Washington died, exclaimed, Is he dead? I didn't know the Old Guy was sick. Well, I explained to them that when Rome conquered a nation it was incorporated into tho Roman Empire subject to its own laws and not to the laws of Rome—that the Roman citizen was not subject to the laws of these incorporated nations—that in due course commerce sprang up between tho citizens of Rome and the barbaric nations, and there was no law to determine and settle their contractual relations. The Roman Emperor, to settle the troubles arising out of the fact that there was no law applicable to control thoir contracts, appointed a Praetor or chancellor to travel among these nations and to settle all disputes without reference to the laws of Rome or of the incorporated Nations, but to do justice and decide all disputes, alone by the conscience of the Praetor. Peregrinating from one nation to the other, he was called a Praetor Pcrogrinus. The bonchcads of the class evidently thought that a Pcrogrinus was an internal organ of the body, for they continually greeted each other, 'How is your Pcrogrinus today?' This fact seems to havo developed the humorous side of the incident, and Russell Savage developed a concrete expression of it on the blackboard, and thus the tradition began. Russell drew better than he knew, for the nondescript animal symbolizes both in limb and attitude tho maxims in Equity that guide the administration of the system. For instanco, on one of the front feet as originally drawn was an Irish ditcher's boot,—indicating the law's protection to the least of mankind. On the other front foot were naked daws, indicating the greatest of mankind must fear its power. The arched back in the attitude of springing, indicated that the law was ever ready to protect right or prevent wrong. The sharp beak indicated the power to penetrate the mysteries of the law, which the true student must obtain by study. The bushy tail indicated that equity brushes away the technicalities of the law and does justice on the merits. Colonel Simkins was the spittin' image of Mark Twain, from his shaggy mane to the white linen suit he sported during tho hot summer months. He also possessed a sharp wit and a spiced tongue that bore good resemblance to that of the humorist. Another of the law School's most famous teachers and a vehement instigator of advancement was Dean Ira Polk Hildebrand, affectionately called Hilde by all. He was associated with law School from 1907 until his death in 1943. He was the law School's dean from 1924—1940. He was responsible for tho change from the textbook method of teaching to the case method. The law School was established in 1883 and was known as the Department of law until 1920. Admission requirements were not difficult, only a fair English education is needed, college training not necessary. The standards of teaching were set to begin with and they havo remained high ever since. Dean Page Keeton is currently upholding tho envied reputation which was built up by such distinguished men as Dean Charles McCormick and the late John Charles Townes, who was the School's first dean, from 1902 until his death in 1923. The school is generally ranked in the United States along .with Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Virginia, Chicago, California and Michigan, among the best in the nation. The first University of Texas law School was in the basement of the main building in the east wing, which was uncomfortable and inadequate. The Law School was given its own building in 1906, which later was known as the lav Barn. The building had a foundation laid almost entirely of solid rock, and the brick walls stood over 10,000 cubic feet of cement. The total number of bricks used in the building were two and one-half million. Dedication of the Law Barn v as in 1908 by Samuel Williston, professor of Law in Harvard; Yancey Lewis, former Dean of the Department of Law, T. S. Henderson, Chairman of the Board of Regents and by John Tov nes, Dean of the Law School. In September of 1954, the Lav School moved into Tov nes Hall, named in honor of Judge John Charles Townes, who was dean and professor for twenty-eight years. Townes Hall was formally dedicated December 5, 1953. Speakers were Herbert Brownell, Jr., 102 U.S. Attorney General; Thomas Taliaferro, 1911 Class President; Logan Wilson, President; James P. Hart, Chancellor; Tom Scaly, Board of Regents Chairman; J. E. Hickman, Chief Justice of Texas Supreme Court; W. White, law School Association President and Charles Francis, law School Foundation President. This $2,100,000 structure is composed of a 750 seat auditorium in the west wing. The library is named after Benjamin D. Tarlton, who served as a professor for sixteen years. A large new wing will be under construction in the very near future. The present enrollment of 900 students is expected to increase considerably in tho next few years, requiring the expansion. The law library in 1899 had 4,000 books and today has over 125,000 books. The first Librarian was Ira P. Hildebrand who lator was named as the Dean of tho Law School. Tho lav School and library wore actually first housed in a small room in the Temporary Capitol Building waiting for completion of tho oast wing of the main building. (Note: there is a conflict of authority as to whether the law School was in the east or west wing of the basement.) Today The University of Texas School of law has one of the larger law libraries in the United States and is under the direction of Miss Helen Hargravo. The School of law has had only six Deans: From 1883 to 1901 there was no official Dean of the Department of law, as it was first called; John C. Townes, 1901—2; Yancy lewis, 1903—04; Clarence H. Miller, 1904—06; John C. Townes, 1908—23; George Butte, 1923; Ira P. Hildebrand, 1924—39; Charles T. McCormick, 1939—49; and W. Page Keeton, 1949 to the prosent. Another tradition of the law School is that law students do not wear caps and gowns at Commencement Exercises. For at least fifteen years and maybe twenty years after the University was established none of the graduates had worn caps and gowns for the final ceremonies. At the turn of the century a salesman representing a supply house appeared at a meeting of tho University senior class and offered to rent each one a cap and gown. At that time the low School was in the basement of the Main Building. No ono thought to send downstairs and bring into the meeting even a few law seniors. The University faculty and seniors met—or a committee from each group met and decided that the class would look very good in caps and gowns. So an order went out from tho executive office or from the faculty in charge of arrangements for commencement that all seniors were to wear caps and gowns. The law students then met, and bccauso thoy had not been invited to the original meeting or consulted on the advisability of this step. they refused to rent and wear the gowns and caps. Perhaps foreshadowing later events, they formulated the reason to uphold their decision. This was that caps and gowns at such a time were traditional to and representative of the academic school and not the professional school. Granted oven that judges had v orn the wig and gown for centuries, it was v orn for a purpose entirely distinct from the purpose hore proposed. $o the faculty mot with the President and at the meeting a decision v as reached that tho law students must conform to the wishes of the senior class or they must wear a significant insignia at the exercises. It was not in a spirit of conciliation or in appreciation of the dignify of the occasion that the sunflower was chosen as the distinctive insignia. It was agreed, however, that the senior law students would wear white suits. Once more reasons were advanced to justify the choice of the flower. The sunflower or genus Helianthus belongs to a family with world-wide distribution. So, also do the lawyers. As the sunflower always keeps its face turned to the sun, the lawyer turns to the light of justice. The Sunflower Ceremony is held the morning of Commencement Day and is attended only by the senior law students and their nearest relatives or friends. Originally, a sunflower was pinned on the coat lapel of each senior by his best friend. This custom changed, however, and now the Dean of the law School performs the rite while the student takes a pledge of devotion and loyalty to the legal profession. Regardless of what takes place at the lav School, whether it be the Tax Conference, the law-Science Short Court, the law Day activities, Portia presentation. Moot Court arguments, or publication of the law Review, Peregrinus or the law Forum, the Peregrinus governs all. He, or it, is omnipresent in every classroom. He is in the line when students walk through the main office to get their semester grades. He attends the graduation exercises and takes the Bar examination with each University candidate and is sworn in at the Texas Association ceremonies. He is in law offices all over the world, wherever a University graduate settles. It is not frivolous to say that Peregrinus is the symbol of integrity, efficiency, and the spirit of a job well done that makes The University of Texas School of law proud of its reputation, and makes the students proud of their school.

Bryan of Freeport. In recognition of women law students and the contribution they will make to their profession, the Society of the Peregrinus annually sponsors the Portia contest, in which one of the girls attending law school is chosen as Portia for that school year. A Selection Committee composed of the Editor of The Peregrinus, the Vice President of the Student Bar Association, and representatives of the Senior, Mid-law, and Freshman classes nominate the five girls from among those in good standing in the law school who are considered best qualified to be Portia on the basis of beauty, scholarship, personality, and extracurricular activities. Portia is then chosen from among these nominees by means of an election in which all law students may vote. During the 1961-62 school year the custom of choosing Portia in the spring was abandoned, and the election was held in the fall. This new practice makes it possible for Portia to reign over law school functions throughout the year. Portia for 1963 was presented at the Student Bar Association Christmas Dance, at which time her identity was revealed. The title Portia was taken from Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice, in which the heroine by that name displayed wisdom and legal brilliance to save a friend. 105 Portia Portia 1962-3 Portia 108 Miss Bonnie Fultz Attendants And how much is this one?

HOOD President The student body of the School of Law is organized as a Student Bar Association with membership automatically including every student in the School of Law. The Bar Association is a charter member of the American Law Student Association. The objectives of the Bar Association, as set out in Article I of its Constitution, are: 1. To direct the efforts of the students of the School of Law towards worthy ends. 2. To promote cooperation between students and faculty. 3. To encourage association of students with members of the legal profession. 4. To instill in its members an appreciation for the ethical standards in the practice of law. The Bar Association, through the Board of Governors, sponsors and supervises almost all of the extracurricular activities of the Law School. Among these are Law Day, the Inns of Court program, the Intramural Sports program, the Book Exchange, the Peregrinus, the Texas Law Forum, the Legal Research program, the Jan Carroll Blood fund, the Annual Bar Association Christmas Dance, the Board of Governor's Banquet, the Fund Drive for the State Mental Hospital, the Austin Junior Bar Speakers programs, the official Law School Ring, the maintenance of the Student Lounge, study hall locker rentals, selling of blue books, and the mail service.

Gee, R. Kerr, D. lane, H. Akin, E. McDonnagh, R. Coffey, M. Furman, P. Kelly. The Board of Governors and the President of the Bar Association are the official voices of the student body to the Law School administration and the Main University and are constantly seeking to represent the interests of the students. The Board of Governors also tries to improve the quality and quantity of the services and activities of the Bar Association. The Board of Governors has the legislative power of the Bar Association and is composed of the various elected officers of the Student Body. These are: the President, the Vice President and Secretary-Treasurer of the Senior, Mid-Law and First Year Classes; the Editor of the Peregrinus; the Editor of the Texas Law Forum; the Chairman of the Honor Council; and the two Law School Assemblymen who represent the Law School in the Student Assembly of the Main University. The activities of the Bar Association and the Board of Governors are ambitious, and attempts have been made to expand them. The success of these programs depend primarily on the reception and participation they receive from the student body. The Board of Governors encourages all members of the student body to take advantage of the many services offered and to actively participate in the many extracurricular activities that are available. 114 FALL BOARD: Sooted: R.

The enforcement of the moral obligations created by the Honor Code is by the Honor Council. Each case of a breach of the Code is brought before the Council. The Council writes opinions on each case to determine whether there has been a breach. The Code undergoes revision at times in order to clarify it, and to make it a better instrument from which the Council can work. The student body elects its representatives to the Council, which have the sole responsibility of charging and conducting the trial of students accused of a violation of the Honor Code, and of recommending to the faculty and University administration a penalty against anyone convicted. 116 Law School Assemblymen Mike Furman, Irwin (Buddy) Herz, Harry Akin.

Graves Edward S. Howell Jerry V. Kyle Clifton H. McCall James A. Parker Allen E. Smith Charles W. Wolfram The American Order of the Coif is the outgrowth of an earlier society. Theta Kappa Nu, founded at the University of Illinois in 1902 for the purpose of promoting scholarship among American law students. Membership in the Order of the Coif is the highest scholastic honor that a student can receive while he is at law school. The first national convention of Theta Kappa Nu met on February 18, 1911, at the Hotel La Salle, Chicago, and decided to submit to the chapters for adoption not only a thoroughly revised national constitution, but also a recommendation to change the name. The revision and recommendation were ratified by the chapters and in February of 1912 the first national organization of the Order of Coif was established. Today there are forty-three chapters of the Order. Election by the membership is restricted by the national constitution to the ten per cent of the Senior Class who have attained the highest rank in their law school work. The University of Texas Chapter has an additional requirement that the students must have completed six units of work on the Texas Law Review. Since the members for 1963 have yet to be announced, the above list is composed of those members selected in 1962. 118 THE CHANCELLORS This honorary society was founded at the University of Texas School of Law in 1912. Since that time only five hundred and eighty-six members have been elected. Many of these past members have distinguished themselves by attaining responsible positions in the legal profession, many of them becoming outstanding judges and trial lawyers. The Chancellors exist only at the University of Texas and are a truly unique honor society. To attain the qualifications for membership, a student must have at Least forty-five hours of credit with the highest scholastic average plus a record of past work on the Texas Law Review. The membership is limited and only six senior students are chosen in the Fall semester and only six mid-law students are chosen in the Spring semester. The ceremony for initiating the new chancellors is secret and is performed after the members of the society dressed in their robes enter classes which are in session and seek out their new members by tapping them. The purpose of the order is to honor and reward by election those law students who, by a combination of consistent scholarship, personality, and achievement have shown themselves most likely to succeed and become a credit to their profession.

The purpose of the Board is to provide working lawyers a service whereby they can have legal questions researched. Members of the board get excellent experience by working these actual problems, and this is the type of work that every young lawyer concentrates on when he starts out in actual practice. Presently, the board is kept at a membership of about 20-25, and at any given time will be working on several problems. Students can qualify to work on the Board by writing a test problem at any of the general offerings, or you can qualify on an individual basis. No grade average is required to qualify, and the applicant must have only 24 hours final credit. In 1962 the Board moved into its new office in Room 115, and obtained its own working library. In the future, when the volume of work expands, the Board plans to have a maximum of 60 members. Working on the Board not only gives the student valuable experience, but it also places the student at an advantage when he wants to prove himself to a prospective employer.

The Legal Aid Clinic completed 21 years of service to the University School of Law and the residents of Travis County on February 4, 1962. The clinic began operation in 1941 in Texas. It was probably the eleventh established in the United States. Legal Aid was the brainchild of the Law Faculty. It was begun as a cooperative project with the Travis County Bar Association to aid the indigent. It has replaced the old-time office apprenticeship application of law practice. Since its opening, about 9,500 applications for aid have been filed. The student attorney, a member of the Senior Law Class, interviews the applicant without taking any action or giving any advice. On the basis of this review, the directors will approve or reject the case. If the case is accepted, a student attorney is assigned the case. He does legal research, draws instruments, appears in court, and participates in trials, with the approval of the judge and the opposing party. Either Mr. Wood-row Patterson or Mr. Warner Hancock will accompany the student in the course of the trial. Mr. Patterson has been director of the Clinic since 1942. 124 LEGAL AID STAFF: Seated: Dalton Tomlin, Student Assistant; Sandra Clark, Secretary; W. W.

MISS HELEN HARGRAVE Librarian The Tarlton Law Library is one of the finest and largest in the South. The collection of approximately 125,000 volumes contains the published reports of opinions delivered in the appellate courts of Great Britain, the federal courts of the United States and its possessions, and the American state courts. Statutes and laws for the same jurisdictions are also kept current. In addition to administrative regulations, loose leaf services, treatises, texts, and decisions of the British Commonwealth'of Nations, the Library is the only one in this section of the country that has microfilm records and briefs of the United States Supreme Court since 1938. It is also a depository for legal texts in Braille. In recent years an increasing number of Latin American and Western European Codes have been added. Through books have come the achievements of the world; through them we have received the heritage of all great minds. Thus, it can well be said that the library is the heart of any school and Tarlton Law Library is no exception. 125 The Law Science Institute DR. HUBERT WINSTON SMITH Director The Law Science Institute, under the direction of Dr. Hubert Winston Smith, seeks to co-ordinate legal thought with the physical, medical and social, sciences. Dr. Smith, a graduate of Harvard Law School and Harvard Medical School, is one of the most outstanding and recognized authorities in the United States in the field of Legal Medicine. A course in Legal Medicine is designed for those who have not majored in biology but have an interest in this field of law. Today, eighty percent of all litigation is in the personal injury field of law. The Legal Medicine Seminar illustrates problems in areas which have not been thoroughly developed. The Institute endeavors to show the correlation between law and medicine from the trial advocate's point of view. The Institute has done much to systematically expand the knowledge of the Proofs of Science and the Science of Proof. 126 The American Law Student Association The American Law Student Association was founded in 1949 under the sponsorship of the American Bar Association. Membership was composed of only 46 student bar associations from the nations' approved law schools. Membership has grown rapidly to a total of 131 member law schools representing over 40,000 law students. In 1961 a large step forward was taken with the establishment of Individual memberships in the Association, thus permitting individual law students to become participating members of the ALSA. The American Law Student Association strives to introduce students to the professional problems they will face upon admission to the bar, to promote the idea of professional responsibility, to provide a medium for the interchange of ideas among law students, to provide solutions to mutual problems of member bar associations, and to acquaint students with the opportunity present to serve the public and to improve the administration of justice through the organized bar. In 1961 the University of Texas Bar Association was named the Outstanding Student Bar Association in the United States. Student Bar Officers for that year were W. Douglas Matthews, President, presently serving in the Judge Advocate General Corps,- Ralph Page, Vice President, now practicing law in Pecos, Texas; and Betty Jo Stock, Secretary-Treasurer, now a briefing attorney for the Supreme Court of Texas. The contest entry was prepared by Doug Matthews and Joe Hood. In 1962, Joe T. Hood served the Association as one of the five executive officers. One of the many services of the American Law Student Association is the publication of the Student Lawyer Journal magazine which is distributed at no cost to every law student who is a member of the Law School. The Association also makes available to law students low cost term life insurance through a group plan. Application blanks for individual membership and other information concerning the American Law Student Association are available in each issue of the Student Lawyer Journal and can also be obtained in the Student Bar Association office. 127 The Election Commission THE ELECTION COMMISSION: Seated: Tom Guinn; Mike Sebastian; Alan McNeill, Chairman; Mario Martinez.

The Peregrinus The Society of the Peregrinus, a very non-profit organization, is the official publisher of the Peregrinus. In addition the Society of the Peregrinus also sponsors Portia, the law school sweetheart, The Teaching Excellence Award, The Pereqrinus Dedication, and several Law Day Awards. The Peregrinus is the largest and most complete annual of its kind. Production of such an annual could not be done without the help, patience, and perseverance of many people. The official contributing members of the Peregrinus staff are listed below. Perhaps the aspirin manufacturers should also be included. Included among the attributes of the staff members are artistic and journalistic talent, patience, lively minds for captioning pictures, ability to dun debtors, and the ability to dodge creditors. The 1963 Peregrinus presents a living record of the law school and law students. In later years the Society hopes that the reader of the Peregrinus finds many a happy reflection along with a tinge of nostalgia while thumbing through his Peregrinus.

The Forum is distributed free to almost 900 law students and 6,000 alumni. The objectives of the Forum are to report news relating to students, alumni, and the faculty of the School of Law; to stimulate thinking and action on current legal problems,- to give law students the experience of publishing such a newspaper; to further a close affiliation between the alumni and the law school; and to provide a forum for articles and materials of interest to law students, faculty, alumni, and the legal profession as a whole. Any law student is eligible to work on the Forum staff if he meets the approval of the editors of the newspaper.

Texas Law Review DON HOWELL Edifor-in-Chief The Texas Law Review was formed in 1922 by Leon Green, Ira Hildebrand, and Ireland Graves. The purpose of the Law Review is to publish a Ipgal periodical which will serve to benefit the Law School and the practicing attorney by providing an analysis of recent decisions, and in addition timely articles and book reviews. These articles are written by prominent legal scholars and they are frequently recognized authorities. The comments on recent court decisions are prepared by students who are already on the staff and also by students who are candidates for membership on the Texas Law Review. Qualification for candidacy on the Review is based solely on scholastic standings and only those students in the upper ten per cent of their class are eligible. The Texas Law Review has become firmly established as one of the leading law periodicals of its type in the country. The seven publications a year are a source of careful legal analysis based on comprehensive research, and a means of maintaining contact with significant developments in the law and in legal scholarship. To its editors, the Review has a very different meaning. Initially, membership on the Review is a mark of high academic success. The new editor's flush of self-satisfaction soon gives way to absorption in long hours of v ork, alternately tedious and interesting, and to the process of learning a degree of self discipline and responsibility to the Review as an institution, for each knows that the reputation created by his predecessors can be augmented or lost by the present editors; there is always a determination to maintain for the new members the standard set by the preceding one. While much of this effort is devoted to creativity and accuracy in dealing with substantive matters, the editors also are diligent in maintaining consistency in the mechanics of format and citation form, thereby achieving a degree of uniformity with past volumes of the Reviev . In a real sense, the publication of the Review is a group effort. The key to effective editing is a personal relationship from which analysis and expression arise as a joint product. In addition, each editor soon comes to realize that any failure on his part means additional work for an already burdened fellow editor. In this system, there is no room for personal animosity; the editors must quickly learn the art of mutual accommodation, an art not always easy to practice under the pressure of publication schedules. Skills and interest developed during their one or two years on the Review will remain with the members years after graduation. The habit of careful research and the inclination toward serious scholarship are not easily lost, whether the member becomes a teacher or a practitioner. The strong sense of purpose possessed by each member continues with the members as they advance in the legal profession. 142 TEXAS LAW REVIEW OFFICERS: Sealed: Estil Vance, Article Editor; Don Howell, Editor-in-Chief; Perry Barber, Comment Editor.

The mere holding of an office or organization membership was not sufficient, but an appraisal was made of the service rendered by the student while serving in such positions. Scholarship was considered only as it was evidenced through participation in such activities as the Texas Law Review; and no particular credit was given for one having a high grade average alone. Each Consul is presented with an award on Law Day by Dean Page Keeton upon recommendation of the Society of the Peregrinus.

The Hildebrand Moot Court Competition, held annually at the Texas Law School in memory of the Late Dean Ira P. Hildebrand, begins in the Fall with competition in the National Bracket. The winners of this bracket represent the Law School in the annual regional rounds of the National Moot Court Competition. The Local Competition starts early in October when the entering teams, composed of two students each, are divided into several groups, which are assigned problems in different fields of law. Each team is given a transcript and record of a trial in a district court and is assigned to represent the appellant or appellee in prosecuting the appeal. The teams then research the problem, write a brief and present an argument to the Moot Court of Appeals. The teams winning two or more rounds of oral arguments then compete in the Spring Hildebrand in which the teams submit another brief on a new problem. The final arguments between the top two teams are held on Law Day and are judged by the Supreme Court of Texas. The entire moot program is under the capable direction of Gaynor Kendall, prominent Texas appellate lawyer, and the competitions are administered by the Moot Court Board, election to which is made from those students who have proven their appellate capabilities by a record of successes in the various competitions. 151 MOOT COURT BOARD: Sealed: Robert Coffey, Tom Henson, Jim Jones. Standing: Meek Kidd, Harvin Moore, Walter Conrad, Boren Chorfctiv, and Larry Montgomery. National Moot Court Competition BROOKS ALEXANDER WAITER CONRAD ALACK KIDD The National Moot Court Team The National Moot Court competition was conceived and is sponsored by the Young Lawyers Committee of the New York Bar Association for the purpose of encouraging the art of appellate advocacy among law students. Approximately 100 of the 131 American Bar Association approved law schools throughout the nation compete annually in this program. Tom Henson is the chairman of the Moot Court Board of Student Managers at the Texas Law School. The University of Texas Law School is a member of the Eleventh Region which is composed of the states of Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Oklahoma. There are eight law schools in the Eleventh Region. The University of Texas won the national championship in 1958, defeating the University of Alabama, Georgetown University, and University of Wisconsin in the preliminary rounds of the national competition. Texas defeated Yale University for the National Championship. On their way to the top, the Law School National Moot Court team won second place in the regional competition. Besides winning a spot in the National Moot Court Finals in New York City, the Texas team won the Best Brief award. This year's team is composed of Mack Kidd, Brooks Alexander, and Walter Conrad. Kidd and Alexander won the right to represent the Texas Law School by defeatinq David Stubbeman and Mike Murphy, David Beck and Warren Weir in the quarter finals, Joe Shannon and Howard Hoover in the semi-finals, and Tom Connally and Walter Conrad in the finals of the local competition. The National Moot Court team always chooses a third man to round out the team and this year Walter Conrad was chosen. The team was eliminated in the Second Round in New York by a split decision. They received special notice of their work, however. 152 TOM CONNALLY and WALTER CONRAD-Runner Up MACK KIDD and BROOKS ALEXANDER-1 it Place National Moot Court Entrants Joe Shannon and Howard Hoover Brooks Alexander and Mack Kidd Joe Connally and Rick Fisher Tom Connally and Walter Conrad William Martin and Raymond Kerr Alex Harrison and Wallace Harwood David Beck and Warren Weir Mike Murphy and David Stuobeman George Carson and Bill Vance Frank Crews and William Matthews Harry Gee and Robert L.

Calvert as Chief Justice. The argument concerned two long-standing legal doctrines, namely the guest statute and the doctrine of parental immunity. More specifically, the issue was one of whether the doctrine of parental immunity should prohibit a minor child from suing his father for injuries received from his father's negligence in driving a car, and whether the guest statute should bar the son from suing under the particular facts. Petitioner, in our moot case, had picked up his minor son after school, and was taking him home in petitioner's automobile. Petitioner failed to make a left turn, hit a tree, and Respondent (the son) was severely injured. The father died, and the son sued his estate. Respondent, suing by next friend, won a judgment against Petitioner for $195,000, and the Court of Civil Appeals affirmed the judgment. The Supreme Moot Court was faced with the question of whether Texas should follow a modern trend toward abolishing or materially altering the doctrine of parental immunity, and whether an exception should be made to the guest statute to allow the son to recover under these facts.

PEDRICK Professor of Law, Northwestern U� w School 157 Law Day 1963 LAW DAY 1963 CO-CHAIRMEN: Tom Henson end Howard Hoover The Story of Law Day The University of Texas was founded in 1883 and ddWn through the years has achieved and maintained a national reputation. The present faculty ably carries on a long-standing tradition of excellence. The student body, ever larger in numbers, must meet higher and higher standards for admittance. The physical plant, second to none even as it stands, is undergoing an almost twofold expansion which will include facilities unknown to any law school in the nation at the present time. As the School of Law has grown, so have its traditions. Chief among these is Law Day, dedicated to and directed by the law students and climaxing a year of intensive efforts in the many areas of Law School activity. Law Day is designed to create a deeper understanding and respect for the legal profession as a whole. The format used to implement such a lofty purpose has in itself become somewhat traditional. The day begins with the dedication of Law Day to the Outstanding Alumnus of the Year, an innovation first introduced in 1958. An active and dedicated group of alumni being one of the main factors which enables a school to achieve greatness, our School of Law is extremely fortunate in this respect, and it is most fitting that we give recognition on Law Day to the year's outstanding member of that group. Law Day 1963 is dedicated to Mr. Rex Baker of Houston. During the presentation of awards for scholastic and extracurricular achievement, the wags of the student body have provided a number of humorous awards for presentation to the faculty. This is Our Hour, so to speak. After enduring endless class hours of deliberately engineered obscurity and confusion, wry wit and biting sarcasm on the part of our mentors in their efforts to implant a grain of knowledge in our sometimes- thick skulls, the students arise in good-natured revolt and retaliate in kind. The indignities and slander to which these luckless souls are subjected is in reality only an expression of our confidence in their indestructible sense of dignity and unassailable competence, both of which are admittedly beyond our capacity to impair. Following the awards the day moves along in a more serious vein with addresses by our three prominent speakers, with the humorous address customarily being reserved for the early afternoon. Law Day is in large measure built around the speakers. In the past we have been honored by a truly impressive array of educators, jurists, practicing attorneys, public officials, authors, and others of prominence in the field of law. This year's speakers promise to be among the most interesting we have had. At noontime there is a break for the barbecue picnic traditionally held under the Law School Oaks. After the picnic there occurs the presentation of more awards and the naming of the new editorial staff for the Texas Law Review. Following the humorous speech, which has always been one of the highlights of the days, the Supreme AAoot Court of Texas, judges the final oral arguments of the Hildebrand Moot Court Competition. The long-awaited Assault and Flattery production gets under way as the first event of the evening. Skits lampoon Townes Hall procedure and its inhabitants, with an award to be presented for the best skit. While it may be highly traditional. Law Day is never dull. The combined efforts of the administration, faculty, the student body, and our alumni have served to make the Eleventh Annual Law Day a truly memorable occasion. 158 Committee Chairmen for Law Day L-R: George Carson, Law Day Treasurer; Norman Reynolds, Dance Committee; Pat Kelly, Speaker's Hospitality; Dan lano.

Softball Law Review Against It is a sad reality of life, frequently contemplated by law students while at Louie's or Scholtz Garten around exam time, that justice doesn't always triumph. The truth of this eternal principle was recently driven home again to long-suffering law students on a dusty softball diamond in Zilker Park. The Texas Law Review gODDS squeaked out a hard-fought 21-16 victory over the iron men of the Board of Governors in a tightly played game of soft-pitch softball, which abounded with sparkling fielding gems and brilliant pitching. While very short on athletic ability and physical condition, the TLR, craftily managed by Tough Tannie Pizzitola, was very long on sheer numerical strength. In their utilization of this asset lies the tale. By taking advantage of an agreed free substitution rule, Pizzitola shrewdly replaced his heavy hitters, Baernstein, Ransom, and Reasoner after their frequent sprints to first beating out thunderous drives to the pitcher's mound, with well rested base runners. Meanwhile, the muscular, cleanlimbed, superbly conditioned Stalwarts of the Board of Governors played on with little or no substitution, realizing the prayers of the entire law school were with them. The result was predictable, especially since the sly Law Review had selected the hottest day of the year for the game. In spite of the valiant efforts of Furman, Lane, Nunnally and Aiken, the Board of Governors was swarmed over by the teeming TLR multitudes. Worthy of special note was new world's record established by Joe Hood, who became the first pitcher in history to lose a game in which he allowed no earned runs by a score of 21-16. Obviously some unique infield and outfield maneuvers by the iron men were the proximate cause of their defeat. Special credit should be given to the excellent, unbiased job of umpiring done by those two conservative gentlemen of the Law School, Dean “Reddy Gibson and Gus Hodges. Professor Hodges was the epitome of sartorial splendor in his Genuwine South American Sombrero, colorfully flowered sport shirt, blue bermudas and, of course, long red socks which glowed in the shadows. No box score is submitted. The official score-keeper left after the second inning suffering from a severe case of writer's cramp. Somewhere the Sun is shining. Somewhere the birds are singing, and somewhere children are laughing; but there is no joy in Townesville, the mighty Bar Association has struck out. (The above is an utterly unbiased account of what actually transpired, as remembered by one of the unique outfielders, Raymond Kerr.) These are two of the more outstanding members of the law roview team. Serving in the capacity of officials, they were very effective in forwarding their immoral purpose.

Phi Delta Phi Phi Delta Phi, founded in 1869, is the oldest legal fraternity in the world. There are 79 active chapters in existence and the membership totals 60,000. Roberts Inn, organized in 1909, is the only legal fraternity recognized by the University as an honorary society. However, the activities of Phi Delta Phi are not limited to scholarly pursuits. Twice-monthly dinner meetings are supplemented by cocktail parties and initiation dinner dances in the fall and spring. The initiates are not the only honored guests at the semi-annual dinner dances,- each dance occasions the recognition of an honorary initiate who has distinguished himself as a member of the legal profession. In addition, the members of the Texas Supreme Court, the Court of Criminal Appeals, and the law faculty are in attendance. On their way to the Intramural finals, the Phi Delta Phi football team defeated Charlie Wright's mighty Legal Eagles and thus ended the Eagle's dreams of becoming the next franchise of the National Football League. Eleven of the last twelve Chancellors, all six of the officers of the Texas Law Review, fifteen of the seventeen staff members of the Texas Law Review, and twenty-three members of the faculty are Phi Delta Phis. Phi Delta Phi stresses the development of well-rounded students so that they might make significant future contributions to the legal profession.

In the year 510 B.C. the Praetors helped to overthrow the tyrannical ruler of Rome, Tarquinius Superbius, and to establish the Republic of Rome into which was incorporated Greek reforms and new innovations of free institutions which have come to permeate Common Law philosophy. The Praetors came to Texas in 1951 when our legal fraternity was organized here at the University of Texas. The purposes of the Praetors are as set out in the preamble to the Praetor Constitution: . . . to create an atmosphere of friendship and mutual understanding among its members, to extend educational opportunities . . ., to promote lasting friendships and to foster academic standings . . . During the last year the Praetors in fulfilling these purposes have had numerous social events including dinner meetings with distinguished guest speakers and parties and outings at local clubs and on the lakes. Other Praetor activities include participation in all athletic events and a Praetor sponsored annual 42 tournament. The Praetors, although having neither high membership dues or high academic entrance requirements, have outstanding students in the school of law among its membership. Since 1958 some of the more outstanding of their achievements are-, highest individual score on the March, 1962 bar exam, highest fraternity average on a 1959 bar exam, national Moot Court Individual championship in 1960, presidency of the Student Bar Association twice, co-chairmanship of law day twice, first place Assault and Flattery skit award three times and a very strong showing in athletic events. 181 Kappa Beta Pi The Eta Chapter of Kappa Beta Pi, the legal sorority for women at The University of Texas, is one of sixty one chapters located in law schools in the United States, Canada, Europe. The first chapter was founded in 1916. Eligibility for membership is based upon the successful completion of ten hours of law work with a grade average of 70. The purposes of Kappa Beta Pi are to encourage the study of law by women, to strengthen by educational and social enjoyments those common interests in the law, and to promote a higher professional standard. Further, the sorority provides material aid to women law students and recognizes high scholastic achievement by national and local chapter awards. OFFICERS ANITA MEYERS .

Maybe you have been his guiding light since sophomore ASS days, or maybe you landed him when he was already two-thirds of a lawyer. Anyway, hero you arc married to this budding Blackstone—who can't always out-think, outsmart or convince you, but who con darn sure always outshout you—and nothing to be dono but make the best of it. As I sit with my scratch pad propped on last year's Pcrcgrinus, trying to think just what it is we law-school wives have in common, I realize what a diversified lot we are. Some of us teach school, while some of us stay home and fake care of the baby. Some of us are secretaries, and some of us are research assistants, while others are hairdressers or nurses—and pay someone else to take care of the baby. Some of us are still sitting around counting the days while wo wait for the baby. This scorns to bo one thing many of us have in common, a little one we hope won't bo in school before Daddy finishes. And then there are a number of preferences wo share, such as a love of bridge, drive-in movies, hamburger meat and last year's Jress that we just can't bear to put away. And interests, such as passionate partisan politics, the Law School elections and where we can got a cut-rate hair frosting job. You can recognize our ingenuity in the decor of our homes, where for $1 down and SI a week we have managed to pull together a braided rug, 32 bricks and four strips of plywood into a harmonious whole, setting off the entire scheme with various doorsteps and paperweights otherwise designated as Black's Law Dictionary, Criminal Law, Texas Land Titles, etc. It takes patience to live through Low School with your husband. In three school years there will be approximately 108 weekends when he will confront you with, Don't Invite anybody for this weekend! I have to study.'' There will also be approximately 108 weekends when he begins studying at 8:00 Sunday night, but woe unto the wife who clutters up his calendar with social engagements on Friday and Saturday. And one soon discovers that it can take a great deal of tact to get through breakfast with one's normally kind, thoughtful and easy-going mate when he is off to fake a quiz at 8 a.m. Finals arc a horror not to be dealt with in generalities, so each wife eventually must discover for herself the most effective means of survival for herself and her children during this time of trial and soul-searching. Enough for the liability side of being a law student's wife, let's look at some of the assets. This is an exciting time when we know not exactly what the future holds but have at least charted Our courses with our husbands, who are looking toward demanding lives as practitioners of an ancient and noble profession. This is a time of warm friendship and all-in-the-same-boatness that makes last year's dress seem insignificant since your girlfriend is wearing hers too. later on we may be climbing the social ladder or reforming the world alongside our lawyer husbands, but for now we might well stop and think that these are years with joys all their own that we would be unwise to wish away too soon. 183 Law Wives OFFICERS, Fall 1962—Standing, Left to Right: Mrs. Roy Hudspeth, Recording Secretary; Mrs. Paul Moreno, Historian-Parliamentarian; Mr .

The Bachelors have done an outstanding job of keeping up the reputation of the typical law student over on the hill and yet, so far, have stayed in the good graces of the sororities and the University. 185 • . .

All sides of Law School—the browbeating, study, laughs, and activities of all kinds— have been pictured. I sincerely hope that this year and in years to come you will find many pleasant memories recalled by this edition of the Peregrinus. Editing the Peregrinus has given me great pleasure. I wish to thank all of the people who helped in the production of your yearbook. David Cleveland and Bill Sullivant, the Associate Editors,- Scott Thrash, the Business Manager; Barbara Kazen, Bonnie Fultz, and Emmy Morris, the typists; and Glenn Gerloff of Taylor Publishing Company should all be singled out for their fine work. Also a special expression of thanks goes to Sam Kelsall, our superb photographer. The most gratifying factor by far was the dependability and patience of those who contributed their time to the production of the Peregrinus. I hope that you will receive as much pleasure and satisfaction from the Peregrinus as I have received from the production of it. Mike Murphy, Editor 210 WOODS EXPLORATION AND PRODUCING CO.
