S. Simkins' Equity class. The Judge — or Colonel, as he was also addressed — had explained to a befuddled student that Praetor Peregrinus was a chancellor who traveled, or peregrinated, among the provinces of the Roman Empire to settle legal disputes. The student thought it was some kind of animal.” A caricature appeared on the blackboard the following day. The physical characteristics of Peregrinus have gradually developed traditional meanings. The sharp beak fights injustice and probes for truth. The boxing gloves on the rear feet represent the Law's power to strike down those who stand against it; the worker's boots on the front feet symbolize the protection accorded the common man. The bushy tail stands ready to brush aside deception and any legal technicalities which obstruct equity. The arched back shows a readiness to spring forward to do justice, while the hind quarters are those of a dog — man's best friend. The drawing is credited to Russell Savage, in its original form, and has evolved to the creature shown at left. ASSOCIATE DEAN THOMASJ. GIBSON III As the volume number indicates, the Peregrinus has not been in continuous publication throughout the past century. The man who was responsible for re-establishing the yearbook at the law school, and who has been the perennial sponsor and faithful friend over the years, is Dean Gibson. The staff expresses its thanks to him for yet another year of friendship and assistance. 2 — 1983 Peregrinus

DEDICATION BERNARD J. WARD It is unlikely that any student who was instructed by Prof. Bernie Ward came away not knowing that the Judiciary Act of 1789 was passed on September 24. or that Prof. Ward had the deepest admiration for Judges of the Third Article. His reverence for the law and his dedication to teaching students brought him recognition from grateful students, who twice selected him as recipient of the Student Bar Association Teaching Excellence Award; this same dedication brought him to class each day last year, against great pain, until shortly before his death on May 7. 1982. Certainly Prof. Ward's peers respected him. Upon his death, tributes were offered by a United States Supreme Court Justice, the most senior federal circuit judge, and the foremost authority on constitutional law in the nation. Students will mark these honors, but will remember most what was in their experience — that Prof. 8ernie Ward was one of the finest and most effective professors that students ever had at Texas. The Centennial Edition of the Peregrinus is dedicated to Professor Bernard J. Ward. 4 — Dedication
