p X A W X speaking to them: one the voice of selfishness and ambition, the other the voice of legal administration denoting a spirit of service and of cooperation in service. For the honor of your profession and for the honor of yourselves, I beg you to heed the admonition of a man older than yourselves in experience, that there is nothing so real as your ideals: nothing that you grasp can give you a satisfaction equal to that of holding to a high resolve. Maintain lofty aims and ideals and you will realize them. Abandon them, and the pitcher is broken at the fountain. Very sincerely, s H?

- T w ere ff E643 f re-if - X-f An Opinion of the Supreme Court NCTHER year- of school work has been brought to a close marking also for the seniors of the law school of the Young Mens Christian Association of Cincinnati an end of four years of preparation, which will launch them upon the world to meet new problems in a new relation. Graduates of your school merit peculiar commendation, not only because of their training in the intricacies of legal science, but also because of the moral discipline, the strength of character, and the firmness of resolution which has held them steadfast in their purpose at the sacrifice of many of the pleasures and recreations commonly counted- the right and privilege of youth. It is quite certain that hi the longer, harder course of the part time school, fraught with temptations more insidious, with difficulf ties more arduous and discouragements more trying, this rigid disicipline will strengthen them for the race to the goal of a successful career. The graduates of the Cincinnati Y. M. C, A. school are to be congratulated upon their achievements and their good fortune. They have been privileged to attend a law school whose standards of instruction are high and whose staff of instructors is comprised of men of fine intellectual attainments. The school deserves the gratitude of the legal profession and the citizenship of Chio for the service it is rendering. The graduates are further to be congratulated upon the fact that they are entering upon the practice of law at a time when the future of the legal profession may be faced with increased confidence. During the past year the educational requirements for registration of law students has been raised insuring a higher stan' dard of legal fitness. Part time schools have become firmly fixed in the scheme of legal service and all the law schools of Ohio are yearly becoming better organized and equipped. In the courts, too, professional standards have been raised. Congress has taken action which will enable the federal courts to reduce the number of pending cases and to bring them to a more prompt hearing. The courts of Ohio have made notable progress along this line. All these evidences of a mounting standard of legal administration denote a spirit of service and cooperation in service. To complete the cyclewrather to crown the structure, of which the Work of schools and courts forms only the ground work and mechanism, the importance of the practicing lawyer should be recognized. The unpracticed young graduates of today will be the seasoned lawyers, judges, law writers and law teachers of tomorrow lt should be suggested that as they go forth in their profession, two voices will be f ,K Easy?

. sagfcrff FMR! Za tviff- as-ve-Yo-39 We! History of the Class of By E. W. Sticlqley, '28 ISTCRY, it has been said, is only an account of the deeds and thoughts Q of those who have passed the reviewing stand of Time. Histories of the Classes which have preceeded us, indicate that they were all unusual- some better-others best. We, therefore, hesitate in describing our status as the superlatives have been exhausted. We will only say that our Class is good and let it stand to be proven, as it easily can be, just how good we really are. Time and space would not permit the recording of the many acts of our members, to promote the welfare of the class and school. Every committee, eviery individual, when assigned a task for the class, functioned as only a well ordered group can. Our first assembly was held in September 1924, at which time we were intro' duced to the instructors in the various subjects of the law. A realization of the size of our undertaking was brought to us when Mr. Taft calmly announced that we would have the first 40 pages in upersonal property. We had not fully recovered. from this sho-ck, when Mr. Stephens, whom we had decided we were going to like, calmly told us to take the first 10 cases. Early in the class year, Bill Foss, acting as chairman, succeeded in welding us into a well organized class under the leadership of Gibson Yungblut. Gibby led us most ably and was active in starting the nlireshman Reporter our class paper, which proved to be a wonderful aid to each of us. As one class night followed another, we reached the end of our school year, having survived the mysteries of Common Law Plead' ing and the intricacies of Davies vs. Mann, carrying with us Mr. Stephenls admonition that ones head could not be opened and torts poured in and Mr. Morrow's advice that it might be well to know what was meant by Replication De Injuriaf' ln the second year, we were exposed to the N. I. L. and its partners, Bills and Notes, a trio worthy of the metal of any group. Holroyd vs. Marshall and Lumley vs. Wagiier were also met and defeated. Gilbert Shaver was elected class president and maintained the high standard set in our iirst year. The monthly class dinners were well attended. These affairs proved to be both entertaining and instructive, as some prominent member of the local bar would address us on some subject of the law. ' Christmas came along and with it our red apple and chocolate Santa Claus. These were distributed by Mr. Aronoff with great accuracy. The warm nights of May were made warmer by the examination but due to very thorough preparation, there were no prostrations. In our Junior Year, Bill Foss was elected president and maintained the tradition of his predecessors. Mr. Magrish very ably instructed us in The circumstances under which the public force will be brought to bear. At the same time he was largely instruf mental in bringing that force to bear in the now' famous Tumey case. judge Hickenlooper instructed us in making and revoking wills and was rewarded after examination by Mr. Yarnovsky telling us that a will could not be played on a phonograph. Several writers of much promise were discovered during the year when Elmer Davidson sought to eliminate the back row interference. .i Tv J dx R? N FxiliiNTEy',f'gf' X X I
