It follows then that there must be a reason for the FreshnranfSophomore Banquet. So we shall try to set forth a reason or perhaps several reasons, why the Sophof more fHe, of wisdomj should lower his dignity to hob knob for a few hours with those who know so little and in their unsophisticated state, think that the mere fact that they have been enrolled as seekers of that logic taught by the inimitable Black' stone, entitled them to all the privileges of fraternalism. Fast workers, these Freshmen, and so it remains for us of greater knowledge- Sophomores-to uphold the dignity of our class and prove to the Frosh that there is not alone a reason for everything, but likewise, a place for everyone. Therefore-The FreshmanfSophomore Banquet- This time honored and annual event took place on Monday evening, November 17, 1927, at the Y. M. C. A. The hour has struck-Seated around the festive board are the Freshmen with a stalwart and dignified Sophomore placed at points of vantage to help aid and assist the lower classmen. After first provmg our superiority in the art of selecting a menu that would tickle the palate of a King, there arose at the head of the table one Mr. George Kattelman, our class president, who, acting as Toastmaster, proved again and again by his clever remarks and witty introductions that Sophomores could do things. George Klein, the 'Lsilver tonguedf' he who might have been a protege of the famous Williams Jennings-if fate had not stepped in-gave the address of XVelcoine We all agreed it would have done honor to Queen Marie. Then again, to prove our further superiority, and show that we can and do mingle with the elite, the Honorable Judge Fred L. Hoffman, the Honorable judge Thomas Morrow, Mr. Bert Long and Mr, Charles Stephens were presented and each in turn, without question, impressed the Frosh that upper classmen are to be respected. In the foregoing account of the 19274928 FreshmenfSop-homore Banquet, we feel that we have set out several good reasons for this annual event, but-behind it all, is a great principle, Truth-Honor-Justice. This great profession Law which if properly interpreted There is no greater, must go on and on. We, as Sophomores, realize that we go on and in a few years enter the several avenues of our endeavor, others must carry on-others must uphold the dignity and sanctity of our great calling, so at this annual FreshmanfSophomore Banquet of l92'7f 1928, we hoped to inspire him who is Freshman of today and will be the Sophomore of tomorrow. -Wilbur Apking TX?-413 :psf 7 ZF

T new i t of 28 91.4 ' TXJTKW T116 Annual LQW SCIIOOI Dinnef By Arthur Daly '29 HE annual All Law School Dinner for the year 1928, was, without doubt, the most successful undertaking of the present Student Council. Vvlhile this event is always pleasant, it was made much more so this year by reason of the purpose for which it was given. In choosing a speaker for the occasion, the Student Council struck upon a capital idea. Instead of selecting some celebrated barrister from foreign parts, the Council chose our own Judge Fred L. Hoffman- celebrated and beloved, right here at home. Judge Hoffman began to teach at the Y. M. C. A. Night Law School in the early years of its existence and has been the most faithful member of the faculty for more than thirty years. To honor our benefactor and to show our appreciation for all that he has done for the school and all of its students during these thirty odd years, was the real purpose of the evening. The entire faculty of the school and more than two hundred m.embers of the student body assembled in the beautiful dining room of the new Chamber of Com' merce building. The entire hall was appropriately decorated for the occasion. At eight o'clock the gavel of the toastmaster, Mr. james C. Stewart, seated the gathering and the fun began. The dinner and service left nothing to be desired. After the tables were cleared and the Havannas were properly aglow, the toastmaster, in his usual interesting manner, introduced John D. Sage, Chairman of the Committee of Management of the Cincinnati Y Schools and Vice President of the Y. M. C. A. who spoke for the School. Next came judge E. Mills, who's subject was, NonfProfessional Reflections. Then we heard from our Dean, Mr. Gilbert Bettman, who gave a history and prospectus of our school. judge Hoffman was then called upon to tell us all about The Chief Justice System. Kata., - - H '4 - ' t ' - ST- l Dean Bettman then presented judge Hoffman with a fine set of golf sticks, the gift of the members of the faculty. The sticks are to be used by the judge when, if ever, he grows old. Judge Hoffman thanked his colleagues for their thoughtfullness and assured all of us that we would have his continued support. 45 W .. . - 1--3 tfr'Tf4i-asf 1 w if , ' fflvin LV K 5' j,,,.fff e .rJf'C3S1, :17 U51-115 its if ,N S CNLZT LL 44, mf

HOWARD WILLIAMS '30 'LCessante 'ratione legis dessat ipsa lex, .i Reasons is the soul of the law, and when the 'reason ceases so does the law itself. -Legal Maxim. INTRODUCTION T Is it true that the modern apprehension of intellectual reasoning in law enforce' ment has been mired and swamped by kraken monsters in the form of corrupt practices? Is it true that present legislatures have been pressing their quota with persons of questionable reputation and character? What do these signs, if answered in the affirmative, imply? Each reader can answer from his own deductions and draw from such some form of remedy either, in a general way, or, in an expressed and formulated outline. Newspapers, magazines and other current literature are now in complexing discussion over situations arising from the same germ that has prompted me in making such inquiries as are sampled here. The Lord Chief Justice of England in a recent address before the American Bar Association said: 'kThe administration of justice, as l am sure you do not need to be reminded, is of greater importance to the people than anything else. And it is conf fidence in the administration of justice which beyond anything else makes a people contented and happy. In the administration of justice we must follow the law. Those who make our laws represent the populace and are morally bound to abide by their needs. Law is generally accepted to mean a system of rules established by legislative authority to enforce justice. The laws that we have been led to recognize involve the rules for order assembled by the customs of a growing society. ff D we V 'Q X -.
