6 so X isffrasg THB-J-cixrfs-WO Blackstone was great, Kent knew law, Story wasn't dumb, but Mr. Riesenberg Incorporated, knew Corporations from the President to the office boy. All's well that ends well. Our concluding num-ber for each week was Mr. Loren Gatch. You could talk all you wished, but if you were heard! We had no trouble, of course, Equity is so easy, even Bill Boettger liked that best of all. The Seniorglunior dinner, Monday, December 19th, 1927, was a decided success. Mr. Gowgill made the principal address, Mr. Stewart gave a short talk, and Mr. Koch touched on the Remus case. The Curia, our scholarship fraternity, presented the keys to the following men: Albert Keeler, Odis W. Bertelsman, Gordon H. Scherer, Gordon G. Arey, Richard S. Rust and Sol Goodman. Lastly, we settled down, reviewed, quizzed and studied, then settled upl' on Examination nights. Most of us had more assets than liabilities and finished up solvent. -Sol Goodman ,iff-'TW Y , ' 1 V ,TA I V! nh A GTX V-X A A-'ima I ,114 Aa .

EDT-D HiStO1'Y of the C1358 of 729 L'Ye safe and formal men, Who write the deeds, and with unfeverish hands Weigh in nice scales the motives of the Great, Ye cannot know what ye have never tried! History preserves only the fleshless bones Of what we are-and by the mocking skull The would be wise pretend to guess the features! Without the roundness and glow of life How hideous is the skeleton! ERE we are, three quarters of our path trodden, and getting set to go the last lap. It behooves us, that it would be wise to tell the tale. Having acquired t-he habit of just reading the syllabi of cases, you will pardon us if you find us forgetting the roundabout way and taking the direct path of the epochal events constituting our threefyear encounter. At an election, which required several ballots due to a concentration of political efforts, Sol Goodman was chosen President, Albert Keeler, Vice President, Katherine A. Stahley, Secretary and Stoddard Drake, Treasurer of the Junior Class. Gordon H. Scherer was chosen as Editor of our Annual, and Albert Eosco, Business Manager It is interesting to note that our class is the first junior class in the history of the school to assume the publication of the Annual. Our weekly Trespasses were edited by james I. Donovan, and served their usual purpose. By this time we had fallen so dependent upon the useful hints, di' gested cases, and statutory citations included in it, that it became part of our makefup. Our professors for the Junior Jungle were well chosen. First, on Monday night, we have Mr. John Gatch, who unhesitantly situated over a dozen of the crew below waterfmark, at the final examination. Due only to the generosity of the Y in giving them a second chance, that some of these deep water divers came up for air At midyear Mr. Stewart made his debut, and led us gallantly through the intricaf cies of Suretyship. When sufficient force was brought to bear, no Acts of Congress were necessary to alter the conditions, so said Mr. Magrish, and so be it. Now and forever, Mr. Porter is a carrier, One thing we did not like, was to be asked what the law is that the case propounds, after we had elaborately recited on it. Mr. Sha-fer had his ways according to his L'Wi1ls. The entire school adopted his method of locating the notables in the back row within thirty days of his initiation into the Y Faculty. , M, E.. 2 ' 1 X T 'Q' -fr J T .? 1-L,27'- M T MTX A. ,9

F there is any one thing which this great mass of statutes and constitutions and legeal interpretations and common law applications, which we are studying does not do, it is to teach us to regard ourselves as part of a complex and involved civilization, composed of many persons, who need attention and help and understanding, and what we owe to them. The object of the law is not to protect and aid the individual. Its sole purpose, fundamentally, is to secure and maintain the peace and security of the state or com' munity. Every indictment concludes with the allegation that the individual accused of the crime has committed an act contrary to the peace and dignity of the state. The law is a great armed force which says: ul-lere is the result of your crime, and you must pay accordingly. -And this is true, regardless of the individual. He is punishable by law, no matter what his social or mental standings are. The law does not care about my protection or my needs or my punishment, its sole purpose is to keep intact the laws of the state. The law cares only to maintain its prestige. Before the common law the individuals rights were not recognized, and he was compelled to appeal to the chancery courts for justice. Seven hundred years after the signing of the Magna Charta, its provision that We will neither sell, nor will we deny nor will we delay right or justice, is still a vision of fulfilled desire. The law has become an obstruction in the path of those who realize that the criminal or delinquent is not always to be punished but in many instances to be under' stood, and the theory that punishment is always necessary, is gradually being exploded. The law should be a worker, hand in hand with those who wish to bring to each individual, equity in his particular case, and not an obstacle in his path, making him a victim of abstract justice. -Katherine A.
