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.

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 .
