WWE AVV is not made up of hard and fast rules, but is permeated with human understanding and the needs of the people as a whole. To meet the more exacting standards of a noble profession to represent the difference between a mere petti- fogger and a true advocate, it is imperative that we recognize and respect certain fundamental requirements. Given a reasonable working knowledge of the Law, which is in truth the art of knowing where and how to iind what is likely to be the Law today, the scholar will advance as far as his or her practical education stimulates worthy ambition. Practical educa- tion, most solid and dependable of all else, includes wise selection of material and worldly experience, tempered by spiritual influence. Qualities most availing to the young practitioner, who may expect to interest a community, embody courtesy, composure and courage, industry, integrity and initiative. Since human striving is centered almost exclusively upon the acquisition of money and money exercises a great power. If we can help to banish poverty, as is happily the trend, we shall render the power of money harmless by taking away its influence over men and women. As a foreword, therefore, be it ever so unusual-we would commit to the righteously bold among us and our posterity, the goal of an honest independence. If we are to join the caravan of little minds, whose bugbear is VVhat will people sayiw then we are destined for a life of strife and chaos rather than a life of accomplishment and order. VVhile America prates of individualism, yet we see a tendency to become least tolerant of the man or woman who dares dissent from mob opinion, we see intelligence pounced upon and chewed up by its opponents. On occasion we must dare to call the popular goose by its right name. The free spirit is more apt to be the most unselfish spirit. , lVIay our elders help us keep the spirit of youth's ideas and ideals unbroken and undefiled, In His Service.

Howard Taft, in 1919 said - N ever in the history of the world is the profession of the law to play a greater part than in the century to follow this great upheaval of fundamental elements of society. CReferring to the Wlorld VVar.D A great responsibility and unusual privilege belongs to the group of men and Women who make up the present student body in the Y lVI C A School of Law. The Faculty and the Committee of Administration of the Law School believe that they have an equal responsibility in presenting to students the maximum opportunity for the development, not only of knowledge and technical ability, but of those other attributes which are peculiarly necessary to the lawyer who would serve his generation largely. If a lawyer is to function properly, he will be a defender of the principle of private right, and he will also assert the necessity of the public wheel. In this increasingly complex civilization, economic and social happiness will depend upon an even balance between the two. A proper appreciation of fundamental values in society is essential in the mind and the life of a lawyer. The Faculty and governing Boards and Committees of the Y NI C A School of Law join with the students in the development of those qualities in the lecture room, through personal contacts, and extra curricular activities.

W, ,4 4' A 4 History of the Y M C A Law School The Young hfenis Christian Association Night Law School traces its origin back to the year 1885 as a result of the combined thinking of Robert M. Ochiltree, Attorney, and George T. Howser, General Secretary of the Cincinnati Y BI C A. Beginning with the humble intention of providing a course in commercial law, its plan of offering night legal instruction received such enthusiastic support that it became the third law school of its kind in America. Its first candi- dates, six students, were successful in passing the Bar Examination in 1896. In 1900 the Night Law School was given permission by the State of Ohio to grant the Bachelor of Law CLL.B.D Degree, and at the June Commencement of that year, sixty-seven young attorneys were graduated and awarded the degree. Until 1919 the school offered a three-year course of study leading to a degree, but in the effort to keep abreast of the modern tendency toward a more thorough preparation in the law, the School in that year added a fourth year of study. This was done so that the students would receive as thorough alegal training as those who attended a three-year day law school, and this action enabled the School to take its place as one of the leading evening law schools of the country. Following this lead for greater thoroughness of preparation in the law, the Ohio Supreme Court, in hlay, 19Q3, adopted the requirement CSection 10 of Rule HD of four years of study where the student does not give his entire time to the study of the law, which follows almost verbatim the suggestions offered by Gilbert Bettman, Dean of the School, at. the conference held by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court with representatives of law schools of the state. When opponents of the four-year plan claimed that it was impracticable, it was pointed out that the Cincinnati Y ll C A Night Law School had been functioning since the year 1919 under this four-year plan, and this fact had great weight in influencing the adoption of the Supreme Court rule requiring four years of study. On October 15, 1926, the entrance requirements increased from that of a standard high school to a pre-requisite of one year of collegeg since October 15, 1927, two years of college work has been required and the school is ever endeavoring to raise the standard of scholarship. Despite the increasing requirements, the School has grown steadily. Beginning with just one instructor, the Faculty has enlarged to twenty-seven, while graduates of the School number over seven hundred. Many of the leading jurists and attorneys of Cincinnati have been and are now serving on the Faculty and many of the graduates of the School have become leaders in the professional and community life of t.he city.

To the Faculty N grateful appreciation do we honor and respect our Instructors in the Study and Purpose of the Law. The hours they spend With us, patiently, unfailingly, might be more comfortably turned to relaxation from pressing cares and duties of the day's practice. Real teachers of the World are above mere pedagogyg they are in fact the World's most useful workers, however poorly paid in money. Theirs must be the satisfaction of labor exalted, of glory in prospect of the future achievements of their scholars. Noble is the effort of a master to inspire those who in all earnestness attend his classes. Helping men and women to learn to think intelli- gently must be indeed a happy task for competent representatives of the profession. In the process of education, truth survives. Truth will make us free of earth's greatest curse-ignorance, and the superstition bred of it. For your effort, then, in this generous service, we salute you, our Faculty! 14 , ,-'ip FACULTY of the Law School A . .sm fss .. 4 ' .'-- 'ft L' Message from the ean T0 the flass ryf 1929: The school year of 1929 is at an end and the goal which you have so patiently sought for the past four years is at hand. You are just entering upon the thresh- old of your careers. Through your efforts in the School. you have become grounded in the law. 'We of the faculty have tried during these past four years not only to familiarize you with legal principles, but we have also endeavored to develop in you legal acumen. In my opinion there are three essential qualities, the possession of which is necessary to success at the bar. The first. is hard work. Without hard work success at. the bar cannot be achieved. The degree of this law school may or may not connote a capacity for strenuous endeavor. After your graduation and admission to the bar, you must be willing to work at everything irrespective of the probable profit. You cannot build a house upon sand. Hard work will furnish you with the foundation upon which success will be achieved. The second of these necessary qualities is the power of advocacy. To pre- sent the results of your analysis and reasoning in such form as to make your con- victions the convictions of your auditors is advocacy. The law school ca.nnot give you this. It must be acquired by concentrated effort at the bar by clarify- ing your ideas before beginning your presentation to court or jury, skeletonizing your thought and keeping sequence in presentation. Advocacy is composed of diverse elements- voice, presence, warmth of feeling. But it is largely an ac- quired art and to that extent within the reach of all. The third of the essential qualities for success to which I have referred chara.cter. This is probably the most essential quality to success at the bar. Confidence in the rectitude and sincerity of purpose of the lawyer is the main- spring of the acquisition of a law practise. Character is at the bottom cf the lawyer's advocacy, -the trust of client, -the flow of professional endeavor. Develop these traits of hard work - advocacy 4 high character, and you will see the way to success unfolding to you. In your practise keep this thought always before you, -the law is a profession, not a business. Do not measure your work by your fee. The essence of business is profits. The essence of a profession is skilled accomplishment. s 16 . :Xi Wh C QL .k.,, I :DEAN GILBERT BETTMAN ul kv ,g.-, ,-.q,5Z.f, .,,5,,-l L,-. 1? x 0 4 Q I U I V 14 Q ' fx K -1354 Elf' -'L r:ESF:.r.1, JUDGE FRANK R.

Obstacles and difficulties to these men are but mere mole-hillsf' to be trodden under foot and thus smoothed Over so that the Y M C A Law School will move with that nicety and precision along those lines so ably set down by these, who are truly masters. Responsive to their able guidance the Law School has grown and shall continue to grow and flourish. That high standard of scholarship will remain, despite the rapid growth of the school. They have built a firm founda- tion upon which to raise the standard of scholarship and it will ever remain. The Class of 1999 will carry the memory of these two gentlemen within that sacred recess of our hearts where all pleasant memories are couched.

The Dignity and Honor of the Legal Profession Another milestone passes in your lives. You are leaving the classroom to take your respec- tive places in the world as members of a useful and honorable profession. In the years just past you have devoted yourselves to the tedious mastery of legal principles, and the development of mind necessary therefor, and now you are entitled to reap the reward of a vocation which is one of the noblest and most distinguished in human society. To assist in the settlement of disputes and the administration of justice between men -in applying the rules of equity and reason instead of might and caprice -is one of the most honorable and dignihed callings which can fall to the lot of man. Those privileged to take part in this work have a distinction almost godlike in its nature. It is unfortunate that many minds, even among the profession, do not adequately appre- ciate the high dignity and honor of those who assist as officers of the court in the effort to apply equal and exact justice among men - as well as human institutions can. Some persons scoff at the profession and at our legal system because perfection often is not attained in this effort -forgetting that miscarriages of justice result from the weaknesses inherent in the human agencies which must administer our laws. Playwrights seldom portray lawyers except in cari- cature as scheming and tricky individuals, seeking to take advantage of some one. Nlany others take this theme and like to speak of lawyers as trained sophists, willing to espouse either side of an argument with equal ardor, and this thought sometimes gains a prevalence which takes from many minds the respect, dignity and honor which should be accorded members of a distinguished and honorable profession. In truth, however, members of the legal profession have been leaders of men in every field in which their talents have been applied. The training which they receive as lawyers, the strength of character and mind developed by the exercise of the responsibility and self-denial required by their work, fits them for leadership among men. Their contributions to govern- ment have been greater than that of any other class of workers, they have always been in the forefront in molding and crystallizing public opinion, in the development of governmental poli- cies and in the making of laws. Our Supreme Court, a body of lawyers, interprets these laws and restricts them to the safe channels laid out in our Constitution - which is also the crea- tion of legal minds. lVIost presidents of the United States have been members of the bar -pa great majority of our lawmakers, national, state and local, have always been from the legal profession, and it is not lacking in modesty to say that lawyers have exercised a greater influence on the public life of our country than any other group in the professional or business world. Any criticism, therefore, of the legal profession, or of its members, as a class, is purely defensive. The distinction and responsibility of our calling imposes, however, many obligations. Some- times they require that a lawyer live like a hermit and work like a horse, and it may also bc added, that he have the courage of a lion. Sometimes the only friend a client has is his lawyer, Q5 I ?s'lA G -.Uh-i.. . ,-.31-,gcv , '77 ?fLEiZflix and the lawyer must be able to convince others, often unwittingly predisposed against his client, of the merits of his clientis case. This does not mean that he must make black appear white, or use intellectual dishonesty to procure an unjust result. but it does mean that he must be able to properly present and urge upon the minds of his hearers the merits of his client's case. Cases never reach a lawyer's oHCicc in which every consideration favors one side and there is nothing to be said for the other side. Our system of jurisprudence contemplates the represen- tation of both sides by counsel, and even though you think the weight of the argument favors your opponent, it is your duty to fully stress your client's position so that his case receives that measure of consideration which it deserves. Remember, your own power of evaluating your client's case may be faulty, and others may see the case in a different light. Aggressive clients may sometimes seek an unjust result, but a lawyer should never lend himself to this purpose to earn a fee or please a client. Good will is never based on injustice, and a disingenuous or dishonorable act, while redounding to the client's benefit, may swing ba.ck like a boomerang on a lawyer's reputation. Good reputation is a lawyer's most precious asset and a blemish upon it is never fully eradicated. A reputation for character and integrity brings success to many lawyers even though their mental endowments are not unusual. Simi- larly, others are respected by courts and clients and their word is accepted without question even though they enjoy no eminence or prominence. And others, of far greater brilliance of mind never attain the high standing their talents justify because they have not the quality of character to inspire conndence in relations of trust and responsibility. You are to be congratulated upon having reached the status where you will soon become officers of the court under an oath of fidelity to the principles of reason and justice underlying our legal system. Those character-building qualities which you have demonstrated in pur- suing your legal education, under difficulties, will certainly stand you in stead in meriting success in your chosen profession and also that respect and dignity which your honorable callin O' deserves. 7 D x ALPHONSE G.

A .. ' i N ffga 1 ss'-X X: fir Class History GORDON H. SCHERER, '29 Experience has taught. students of history that an account written immediately following a certain period can hardly be called a history of that period. Time and observation alone can determine the actual truth of what has happened over that period. One can readily see that an attempt to write a history of the law class of 1929 a.t this time would be almost an impossibility. The most one can do is to record in calendar form the inter- esting happenings of these four years embellished perhaps with the writer's personal impressions. i To one not a member of the class of 1929, what is to follow will prove uninteresting. The Y 111 C A Law School is different, much different from other law schools associated with great universities and colleges of this country. Wle are unable to write or live over in the years to come the excitement, enthusiasm and glamour of the gridiron, neither can we boast of our base- ball nine, nor is there a memory of the last swish of the basketball game followed by a vibrating gym, the result of a one point victory. Then again, campus life and its incidents are something unknown to those who study law at night. However, it is certain that as these four years draw to a close, in spite of the fact that much which makes one's school life the happiest time of human experience is wanting, there is that something, that feeling of a work well done, a work, a study, a right to practice and to be a part in that great profession of the law, which is a far greater satisfaction than one would realize at first thought. It is that feeling, that satisfaction, which a lawyer with a lawyer's heart and mind alone can feel. So it was in September four years ago that the class of 1929 comprised of about sixty stu- dents frorn greater Cincinnati entered the Y lVI C A for the first time as neophites in the study of the law. Students from all walks of life g perhaps no other school could claim a student body such as this. 1Vhen one considers the ages in this group varied from eighteen to forty, that some had not only one but two or three children, that some were college graduates and others entering with only a high school diploma, when one considers that the vocations of this student body included school teachers, law clerks, salesmen, bond and real estate brokers, mechanics, accountants, and printers, surely one can say it is a distinctive group. It was this body that adjusted itself to the common task of coming to the Y M C A three nights a week and being exposed to criminal law and the police department as cross-examined by Charlie Elston, followed by Mr. Taft and his bundle of sticks. The second hour on VVed- nesday night we heard what Judge Story said about the last clear chaneew as taught by Pro- fessor Stephens, Ha good lawyer too. Friday night was just different, Judge Hoffman brought everything within the scope, while Judge Nlorrow, at that time known as Tom, made the 147th infantry look bad when the back row udemurredf' It was at the Freshman-Sophomore banquet tl1at we began to go places and learn things. First, that Sophomores at a night law school are no different from sophomores at any other school. They just are and thatfs all. Secondly, that our able Dean could tell the same story at least twice, and that he knew that the Y served Krogefs ten cent peas. 36 .. ..w . i. in-1 A ,, A 'sci'-1. ,if f .X V,-I Arthur Daly, otherwise known as Pete, was put into office by his fellow Kentuckians and did remarkably well in organizing a green bunch of freshmen. A weekly paper known as 'The Trespassesi' was ably edited by Nfr. Davis, also from the Blue Grass state. YVhen the grades were finally announced, it was found that Bertelsman and Kruesling finished high for the initial year. So endeth the first year. After what seemed a very short vacation we started the sophomore year knowing all the law, even more than hlr. Jaffe from Columbia. The class was organized in the first month of school with Odis Bertelsman as its president. It was during this year that some of the Scotch brethren began to wonder what became of the five-dollar activity fee. Wvhen June came, but no annual, all admitted that the studies of the past year were rather tough except Solly Goodman who finished at the top. It was in the Junior year that the public force was brought to bearf, in spite of wills. The Junior class for the Hrst time undertook the editorship of the annual, Al !Fosco, the busi- ness manager, claimed that the student body swamped him with ads, but Katherine doesnit always agree. Some claim that it was a political annual and perhaps they were right. Sol Goodman helped keep junior tradition as president, finishing again as high man. At last in September, 1928, we found ourselves entering the law school as seniors, realizing how little we knew. After a hectic political campaign, E. P. Carrier was elected president, while a fellow countryman headed the Student Council. hTcElfresh edited The Trespassesf' which had proved an interesting as well as helpful class paper for three years. The Senior-Junior dinner was a real social function, CPD However, the annual law school banquet was considered by many the very best the school has ever had. VVe could not finish a review of the senior year unless we reviewed T he Big Review' pro- duced by the honorable Judge Gusweiler. The least one can say, in the vernacular, that it was a drag made much easier and more pleasant by the able Quiz King. Nfost of us will admit that Konjola cannot be compared with Gus' Quiz Compound when it comes to passing bar exams. Wiell, after all is said and done, one must admit that although the study of law at night is at times a tiresome ordeal to most of us, it has been an interesting and profitable four years. Of course some will say not only profitable to us but to the HY as well. even the cafeteria. hfany changes have taken place, most important, that is to Les Cors, was the fact that his wife was married. After the bar, one or two other members of the class may feel the same as Les. Last March, Brother Dressing passed out cigars and Brate wondered why. lNIany of the boys have become Kentucky barristers, with no hope of pardon. Boettger sold a piece of real estate and Nogen collected a bill, while Frowe stunted his growth by smoking. So the class of '29 leaves the school with hope and best. wishes for its future success, with appreciation and gratitude to the faculty and the Y BI C A. 37 fi cfvxffxrfxfwa '2ff'.-SZ'-'fx I! X51 Class Will By SoL GOODMAN, ,Q9 We, the class of twenty-nine, having enjoyed our law school term and about to quit the premises, mindful of all the good we have collected during our period at the school, and aware of the certainty of completion, we hereby depose of all our accumulations to the successors predestined to follow in our footsteps. ITEM ONE All our Estates being but for years we can devise none greater. To t.he freshman class, being the direct issue of a class now in being and therefore permitted to inherit in spite of the statute against perpetuities, we hereby give, devise, and bequeath: CU Mr. Elstonls lectures on Criminal Law, keep them dear and near to your heart for you may need them some day in order to keep undone what he has done and save the liberty of Remuses. CQD The property of Bert Long we leave to you in solido for we never enjoyed any part thereof. C35 Our favorite pet, the animal described in Davies v. Nlann, we rest assured that NIL Stevens will see you paid with this, our legacy. C45 Vile make you an Qffer of Nlr. Dempsey, your acceptance will become a binding con- tract, study the terms well. C5j VVe are hesitant in bequeathing to you Judge F. L. Hoffman, for perhaps we will have use for him in the atmosphere for which we now depart, but upon the basis of a revocable Agency we leave him to you. CGD If you are not made rich by all our bequests then also take Judge Blorrow, and his invaluable Common Law Pleading, this is a specific devise, for no value can possibly be set upon it. ITEBT TVVO To the Sophomore class for whom we entertain a tender feeling, for they are in such a piti- ful state during our last days, we devise and surmise the following: The disdain of weakness and undaunted confidence in their expansive and infinitesimal knowledge of law. hlay they enjoy the privilege of sophomoreship for a full year. ITEM THREE The law career's most precious possession, the juniorship at the school, we leave to you. Such a legacy would amply pay each legatee any and all claims upon our bounty. However we further bequeath them with: 38 A Clj The powers of Congress a la mode James L. hlagrish, and no matter how much force is brought about to bear, you still will inherit this bequest. C25 A rare thing is this striccissima juris it can be enjoyed for a double-timeg we leave it to you in trust and hereby nominate as the trustee ex mala fecio Hon. Jas. G. Stewart. CSD Upon condition that you commit no unbailable offense we instruct lVIr. Porter to present you with Bailments, it is a worthy cause, we hope you will carry it. C41 lvhen Herbert Shaffer gets a hold of you, you will be ready to do what I am now doing. C5j This will leaves all property to you as a legal entity separate and distinct from all individual members, we further devise to you a real stator, lVIr. Riesenberg, be informed by him of what this all means. C65 This world is full of fun which is a right of all to participate in, we bequeath to you the surplus - Loren Gatch - be patient until he gets you. ITEM FOUR , W'e have practically exhausted our large estate but in order not to slight the Senior class, we leave to them all the rest, residue and remnants of our vast possessions. Wle rest in peace, assured that with their seniority they need not our assistance. Knowing that whatever we bequeath they may choose to take or refuse so we unhesitatingly include the following: CD The beautiful day-dreams of the future when you argue your case so eloquently before an amazed audience and Wide-awake judge, the ever increasing offers of ofticesg the amassing large fortune of fees. C25 The joy of listening to thelceaseless babbling of Frank Gusweiler, we are certain you will be overjoyed with all you acquire from him- it is so simple. ITEM FIVE All the law ably expounded in the text and case books we give, leave, and bequeath to the students of law - we will have no use for them or their kind after we pass beyond the bar. Wle appoint as executors of this our last will and testament, Roy H. Harris and Leon G. Nichols, and hope that they will execute our each and every wish. Wie repose our trust in these able gentlemen and will amply compensate them through the board of trustees of the Y Nl f' A Schools. FLASS OF TXVENTY-NINE The Vlass of Twenty-Nine executed the above document in our presence and we signed the same in their presence and in the presence of each other.

In the capital city of Wfashington, we find our colleague, lVIr. Arey and his law-partner C?j DIiss Yungblut fgreatest patent attorneys of the agej arguing before the Supreme Court of the land. Upon the bench of this high tribunal sit some of our old pals, Chief Justice Davis, Justice Tichbein, Justice Rose, Justice Dressing and Justice Guild. WVe then travel to Hamilton where we find IVIr. Brate executing the duties of hfayor CBrate hasn't been the same since they removed his appendixj. blr. Nick Bauer as Justice of the Peace of lVIiamitown has done more for that borough than divorces did for Reno. Deciding to see a little of the Blue Grass state, we take a little trip to Frankfort and find Udy Bertelsman presiding over the Supreme Court of that state, and assisting him are Justice Keeler, Justice Drahman, etc. fKentucky law is now cited as if it meant more than some wise cracks taken from George Wfhite Scandalsfij lVIr. Cors and Miss Fehl are legal advisors to Ph. IVIorton, and know their g'signs like a deaf and dumb man. Carrier, Fast, Drake and Porter, after their course at the Y fBilliardj School are now affili- ated with the Brunswick Balke Collander Co. as billiard instructors, these gentlemen can do more tricks with a billiard ball than IVill Rogers can with a lasso. Tired of traveling we look in the IVhose IVho book of 19449 and find James Donovan listed as expert title examiner - Jimmie can tell a good title from a bad one like he could tell a good cigar from an El Ropia in the good old days at Norwood. Since my water bill fell due at this time I went down to the water works and found Joe Schwartz and Harry Feldman in the office of Chief Supervisors e- these men promise us more filthy CI mean fiiteredl water. VVhile at the city hall I learn that most of the men of the city council were in the old class of 1929, these were Caine, Krusling. Hayman, Roemler and Clark. Because I havenft been to the court house for a while, I went there and found the court of Domestic Relations now has two rooms to take care of its problems. Judge Al Fosco in Room No. 1 and Judge Catherine Staley in Room No. Q. How well these judges know and handle their subjects. Attorneys Selva, lNIcElfresh and Fallon being divorce experts, spend most of their time in these rooms, and their line of cases won, is longer than The Trail of 987 In the criminal room of the court house, we End Hurley's successor, Gordon I-I. Scherer, his honor is also a great vocalist and accompanied by some of his defendants, sings Four VValls,U All Alonef' g'lVIe and lNIy Shadow and a Bird in a Gilded Cage. Desiring a vacation we decided to go to Indiana and there who should we see in the Supreme Court but C. J, Frowe, Dick Finn and WV. B. Peterman, and before them are attorneys Gold- berg, Goodman and Gottlieb, representing the Ku Klux Klan, and asking for an accounting of the organization's funds from the defendant Louis Schear, retiring Kleagle. Coming back from Indiana, we asked the Railroad conductor who owned that road and was told lNIr. Green, Clifford NIiller and Joseph Donovan, Some Railroad Boysf, Feeling the need for a little change, we went to the Emery Auditorium where co-workers Aimee McPherson and NIorris Nogen were to lecture, the subject being Forced to Eat.Ham IYhile Kidnappedf' As we left the Emery, I noticed a poster advertising a coming attraction Bill Boettgerf' world famous piano soloist, and how that boy can tickle the ivories. The next day I went down to see my old pal Dick Rust, now president of the Union Central Life Insurance Co. This company really pays fast, A man fell off the skyscraper and they handed him his check as he passed their-office fioor. It sure makes me happy to see the successes registered by all my classmates and I realize that our work done at the Y was really worth-While. E 40 -LJ' ,. 'I -'f:?a5x2'.. u 1 ' . -J A A - A Law lfVhat is Law and why should it interest me? To some, the word lawn represents myriads of statutes, musty old law books and haggling attorneys. To others, it presents enlightenment, a livelihood, personal triumphs or perhaps justice. But' such are only first impressions. To fully appreciate and realize the great importance of law, it is necessary to give at least a little study to it in order to gain an insight into its origin, its history, its purpose. its obliga.tions and benefitsg its efhciencies and deficiencies, so as to know and understand what the law is and its application. VVith this in mind, we find from a study of society from earliest times that law was a neces- sary element of IIIELHVS life. By nature he is a social animal, constantly seeking the companion- ship and association of his fellow men. In order that this association might be conducted in peace and with the proper regard for each other's rights, it was soon found necessary to have some sanction of authority to enforce and sustain the usages and customs which had sprung into being. As a natural result a supreme authority was delegated, or in many cases, assumed by might in order to enforce those usages and customs. And as time grew, those rules of conduct took upon themselves, the effect of laws. being developed and modified to meet the needs and the conscience of the times. But law was not entirely man made. All nature follows definite and well defined laws. Wle have but to turn to the sciences, to physics, to chemistry, to astronomy, to biology, and others, to see that certain forces are constantly working in definite paths toward definite objec- tives, always obeying the command of a Higher or Supreme Being. hlan unthinkingly obeys those same laws, andin his endeavor to seek the better and higher planes of life, he has patterned his own mode of conduct after them, recognizing them as the basis for his own ideas of authority and justice. ' The law has been developed by gradual stages, and only after surmounting great diHficul- ties has it obtained the present standard of it.s ideals. In the early days might meant rightu and if a man was not strong enough to enforce his claim, he had no remedy. The first great step in overthrowing this obstacle to freedom and justice, was the signing of the hlagna Charta, in 1215, when the barons of England forced King John, at the point of the sword to recognize certain civil rights to them as vassals and citizens. A second step occurred in the 16th century when learning took on an impetus, and printing was invented. The American Revolution and the Emancipation Proclamation carried on and enlarged the rights already gained. The present system of laws aims to distribute justice impartially to all, regardless of race, color, creed. or positiong it aims to protect the greatest number of people at all times, giving con- sideration to the minority, also to the individual interests: it aims to protect the weak as well as give relief to the strong: and it aims to consider the frailties of human nature and to take into consideration all the circuinstances of the case when it propounds its judgment. -L1 6 4, . f ss .. Wby' Tf :?f5'E: . Society is only made possible through the law and its success must necessarily rest upon the supremacy of the law. If the law is to be supreme, it must be efficient. To be efficient., it must enforce its mandates. The law is divided into two great classes, called Rights and Remedies. The former repre- sents a claim which the law recognizes and will enforce, while the latter is the relief which the law gives by enforcing that right. The different branches of the law merely undertakes to define the particular rights and remedies in the particular class. hlan made law is not perfect. It never will be perfect, but without a doubt, a higher standard of legal ideals can and will be developed in the future, just as the constant conflict of domestic, social, political and economic problems of the past have evolved a greater and better civilization. To this end, present criticism of legal methods can well be used for construc- tive improvements for the future. To make better laws requires not only good legislators, but co-operation from fair minded citizens. Law to a certain extent is influenced and guided by public opinion, but public opinion is a rash guide. It is not usually guided by reason, but by personal feelings, sometimes making a hero out of a criminal, or a mountain out of a mole-hill. Public opinion is created by the citi- zens themselves. A well-informed and thinking public will materially effect the quality as well as the substance of the laws themselves. A knowledge of the law and a respect for it are a pre-requisite to good citizenship as well as to onels own self respect. They are essential for business success, which is not without its compensations. But. whether it is business, or pleasure, it is an asset which carries its own satisfaction. Nlany people in the past have gotten byi' without any particular knowledge of the law, but what guarantee is that for the future? Law from the dictates of reason, as well as from tradition, is an essential part of our existence and a basis for success. An ,old sage some thou- sand years ago said, give me a lever and a place to rest it upon, and I will move the Worldf, but if he were living today, he would have said, 'ggive me a knowledge of the law as a lever and I will pry open any gate to success.

Gurdon YVilson was chosen Editor, Conrad hlagrish, Assistant Editor, and Vincent Reuscher, Business Nlanager of the Triangle for 1929. Classes began each week under the very able guidance of Nlr. Robert Porter, our instructor in Carriers, and it would be safe to say that the entire class became familiar with the circum- stances that affect the liabilities of Innkeepers and Common Carriers, and when each are re- quired to exercise due care and reasonable diligence. It is often said that VVhere there is a will, there is a wayf, but the class were never able to find the way to read hir. Shaffer's eighty-page VVills assignments, before the next class met.

John Gatch, our Professor in Evi- dence, whose classes were always found interesting, and who very patiently heldover with us until the end of the first semester to teach us the exceptions to the Parole Evidence Rule, and when our wives may testify against us. Our corporations class was the scene of many long and heated arguments between Howard Oexman and our Instructor, NIL Reisenberg. These discussions in many instances were a life saver , to those who were unprepared. Less static was recorded in Mr. Stewart's class than in any class within the entire three years. The class not only being very deeply interested in Suretyship, but was kept quiet through M1'. Stewart's ability to hold the attention of the whole class. Equity was our last class of the week and our Instructor, M1'. Loren Gatch, very under- standingly opened the period with the very appropriate question, Has anyone in the class read the first case?,, The Honorary Society of the Curia presented keys to the following members of the Junior Class: Helen Huber, Conrad Nlagrish, Joseph McDiarmid, Howard Oexman, Harry Right- mire, and Frank VVessell. There has never in the annals of the school been, nor do we think there will ever be, any class that can equal the mathematical ability of the class of 1930. The members of the class being very accurate in the calculation of the number of intervening names on the Roll Book in order to locate, and rapidly read the respective case for which they were to be called upon to recite. At last the time of reckoning came. Everyone had been studying with feverish diligence during the last few weeks, and many sleepless hours were spent in cramming. After much deep thinking and racking of our brains to recall the words of our instructorsfand passages from our textbooks, most of us were able to successfully meet the necessary requirements to become next year's Seniors. Thus ended our Junior year. THOMAS G. JOHNSON. ROBERT M. HAIR. 48 AE sl., ., S - i Youth, Hope and Justice VVith acute alertness youth today looks forward to the maintenance of an ever increasing state of affairs. The trend of inventive genius has stretched across a sphere of constant adaption. The World is susceptive of the promised economic status that the younger generation is expected to bring forth in the next decade. Large business production, exceptional mechanical evolution, advanced spiritual manifestations and decided legal reformations are among the accomplishments ahead of a growing World population. WVith all that may be in store for us, We cannot afford to pass by the simple things in life. No matter how far the inhabitants of this earth may progress they cannot escape the principles of good, honest living. We may regret exceed- ingly some of our past steps but, it is never too late to start anew and base our lives upon correct law and learning. The appeal to all students of this present day as well as those of every age is to be good helmsmen of the law, to proceed with an incentive to make our present system move true and just. The spirit of youth is hope, and the only hope for the young lawyer is to help make the courts a refuge Where peace and justice dwell, where men may straighten out their difhculties and proceed into their endeavors with a love for the law.

To most of us, regular attendance three nights a week is very trying and weeks pass by mighty slow. However, as the end of the school year approaches, time swiftly flies and before one is aware of it, examinations are upon us, followed by a few months vacation. VVhile attending classes, sacrificing our evenings for a legal education, many times we become dis- heartened and discouraged, especially if we have had an irksome day in the course' of our daily vocation. Then we are confronted with the question - is it really worth while? Wfhen in this mental state of depression, one of our fellow students come to our aid, giving us a word of cheer, assuring us our pursuit is not in vain. Then too, some of our instructors, those who have trav- elled the same path, or those who have perhaps made greater sacrifices than we, inspire us to greater heights. Our efforts are resumed, our endeavors fortified, our steps retraced and Bnally all is well. Be of good cheer my fellow student, half the battle is over. Keeping in mind our ultimate goal- our hope of attaining a place among our brothers in the legal fraternity - we press on determined not to permit a sense of discouragement or seeming failure to obscure the object of our endeavors. How true to life are the words of the Immortal Shakespeare All the worldls a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many partsf, Our sophomore class numbers practically the same as did our freshman class. Some addi- tions were made to our class this yearg these comprised of students coming from other law schools. These new members made up for the deficiency due to some leaving us to take up their law work at other schools out of town where they have been stationed, some discontinuing for other reasons. The present sophomore class is proud of their group. Our members are democratic, eager to share their opinions with each other. VVe are all well acquainted with each other and when it is time for humor to be introduced in the class discussions, we know the students who are capable of supplying it. While quite a few of the members of our class reside in our sister state- Kentucky - we hope that if they take Kentucky Bar examinations and are successful, that they will return to the Y M C A Law School and complete the four year course, thus obtaining their degree. IRVINE FORRESTER. 54 5 fr Q fvtstxy The Simple Life By LEONARD J ONES Life is a constant struggle, from the first weak gasp for breath to the last spasmodic effort to fill the lungs with the life-giving, incorporeal fluid. And so it was with our hero. He was born into a family which had been blessed by Providence in point of numbers, but the means for supporting and educating said family were as scarce as the proverbial hen's teeth, never- theless he was here and it behooved him to make the best of a bad situation. Before the stork had gotten around the corner the news had spread that another son had been born to Simon and Vera Simple. As the neighbors gathered around and looked at the new arrival, imagina- tions were put to herculean tests in pointing out fancied resemblances on the physiognomy of the newcomer to the long line of his Simple ancestors, it being mutually agreed that the child was beautiful beyond words. However, as they left the farmhouse, one lady was heard to remark that if the child lived to be twenty-one, it would probably outgrow its looks. Suggestions were now in order for a name for the new son. Aunt EHie wanted him called Gulliver because she had once read a lovely book written about a man by that name. Uncle Tom thought he should be called O. Howe Simple, after his grandfather, who was known throughout the country for his prowess as a horse shoe pitcher. Simon Simple was obstinate, however, and insisted that his new son be named Menifee, in honor of a politician who had once given him a half pint of campaign whiskey. This name, being somewhat cumbersome, was later shortened to Fee.', The time sped by and Fee Simple found himself six years of age, and was told that he was to enter school. This information was received jubilantly at first, but when he learned that one of the conditions precedent was having his ears washed daily and his hair combed and brushed, he at once decided that being without Ubook larnin wasn't so bad after all. How- ever, Simon Simple, having himself completed the fourth grade, appreciated the advantages of higher learning, and was determined that Fee should go to school. So the first day of school found him timidly entering the school room behind his sister, his neck and ears still red from the vigorous scrubbing just administered by his mother. Gradually his fea.r was dispelled as he became accustomed to t.he new faces about him, and it was not long before he was using t.he pea shooter with unerring aim, and was recognized as an authority on bent pins. The teacher now became insistent that Fee learn his ABC's. He felt that this would inter- fere seriously with his manufacture of paper wads, but his opinions in the matter were, to his mind. unjustly ignored. and he was required to go to work. This seemed very hard at first, but after learning his letters it was not long before he was deeply engrossed in the story of Ducky Lucky and Chicken Little. 55 'N ,g If ghw - .-rzfgytg-. tE4TT?t - lVhen Fee Simple was about ten or twelve years of age he and a school chum, both having heard the ca.ll of the wild, left school at morning recess and sought the wide open spaces. Late that night, the call of hunger proving stronger than the call of the wild, they returned to their respective homes. Fee noticed a stern look on his father's face, and what was more ominous, a fresh selection of peach tree switches on the mantel. Fee did some quick thinking. There was only one way to mitigate damages, so he retired to his room in the attic to prepare for the worst, which was not long in making its appearance. Simon called his errant son, and without. further ado, proceeded to give him the licking of his young life. At the first stroke Fee let out a howl that sounded very much like Israel mourning for its first born, the tears falling like an April shower. After the chastisement, he again retired to the attic and there removed three suits of heavy underwear, two pairs of pants, four shirts and a Bouvier's Dictionary. The New Girl moved into the neighborhood and took a seat across the aisle from Fee. He immediately took a new interest in life and astonished his mother by offering to wash his neck himself. Soon a decided slump in revenue derived from the poultry was experienced, and upon investigation it was discovered that young Fee was purloining the product of the hennery and trading same for apples, oranges and candy at the store at Nubloin Center, which articles he was bestowing upon the lady of his choice. The Smith boy had long been making sheep's eyes at the New Girl, but while the fruit and candy lasted he did not have a Chinaman's chance. He was unable to alienate the fair one's affections even by permitting her to chew his gum. During the period Fee Simple was tolerated in the elementary schools, he learned a lesson which proved invaluable to him in later years, but this lesson was not derived from books. One day while out hunting, he found a hole in the ground, which, prima facie, was the domicile of Br'er Rabbit. YVith visions of rabbit hash, he procured a long stick and began poking in the hole, at the same time, as was his wont, allowing his lower jaw to sag down from its better half some two or three inches. It so happened that Br'er Rabbit had just recently been disseised of his freehold by one Nfr. Skunk, who upon perceiving himself disturbed in the peaceful enjoy- ment of his property, at once brought an action in ejectment, which gained speedier relief than was ever granted by any court of justice. Feeis eyes, mouth and nose received a generous charge of the world's most potent stink. He rolled over and over, praying for death, but death was withheld by an unkind Providence. He started groping his way home, finding himself shunned as though he were a leper. His mother refused him admission, requiring that he go to the barn, take a bath in the horse trough, and make a complete change of clothes. Since this episode, on being kidded about the size of his nose, Fee Simple replied that he learned at an early date to keep it out of other people's business, thus giving it a chance to grow. Eventually Fee was ready to attend High School, which was some fifteen miles away. New clothes had to be purchased, and with that in mind he trapped, shelled walnuts and did odd jobs for the neighbors until he had accumulated the sum of 551200, half of which was given to an enterprising vendor of Jewish Hardware as payment in full on one Full-peg suit of clothes, at least two sizes too large. VVhile the suit was being Htted, the merchant, by taking up the slack with his hands as Fee was examining the fit in the back, and vice versa when he was looking at himself in the mirror from the front, made Fee believe he was a second Lord Chesterfield, and the suit was borne away in triumph. ' 56 ,' Q. K I ., -'4f-rN1.- Attired in his new suit and with a bundle under his arm, Fee Simple boarded the hlail Hack, which carried him to town and High School. By special arrangement, he was able to complete the required course in three years, and by borrowing a small sum of money was able to take a short Commercial course. On completion of this course, he received in answer to an appli- cation, a request that he call for an interview. On complying with this request, he was taken into a private office and there caused to disclose many secrets af his past life. This third degree, to which the Spanish Inquisition was mild in comparison, wound up by Fee being given a pencil and notebook and required to take a letter which contained words and phrases that were as strange to him as was the language of the Zulus. To invent shorthand characters and keep up with the dictation simultaneously is impossible with the student stenographerg consequently the letter was a hopeless muddle. You can imagine his surprise when he was told to report for duty the following week. He left the oflcice without his hat, feeling that at last he had the World by its caudal appendage. Thus Fee Simple became a railway clerk, which position he held with credit for a period of three years. After being employed as such for about a year he began to realize that his chances for getting ahead in this field were exceedingly slim, as the most of his fellow employees had been with the company for years and those who held superior positions appeared to be in good health, Fee felt that it. would be useless to stick around with the hope that a better position would open up, causa mortis. Further, the old ambition to be a lawyer was asserting itself, and could not be smothered. It has been aptly said that he that hath ambition has one foot in hell,', and it appeared to Fee Simple that this was especially true where the victim of ambition was pursuing an occupation that was so far removed from ambi- .tion's aim. So he resigned his position as clerk and took up the study of law. And thus my story, being written about a Law Student who is still in school, must end here, contrary to the conventional manner of ending stories with the death of the villain, the making of millions by the hero and subsequent marriage to the heroine, etc. Should you, a few years hence, see the following on a plate glass window: FEE SIMPLE Attorney at Law walk in and hear the rest of the story from the lips of hir. Simple himself.

Two years at college, being a requirement, were responsible for this happy situation. To this group of Freshmen Dean Bettman's welcome was such as to urge us to give our best not only that we might advance rapidly along the road of legal knowledge, but that we might be a greater credit to our new school than any other class has been. Wlithin the first month the Freshman class had organized with the following members as its officers: President, George A Schwenzerg Vice-President, Laurence J. Gammon, Secretary, James B. Nfeadowsg Treasurer, VVilliam C. Schuessler. Charles VV. Riley and Carl A. Frederick were elected Freshmen representatives of Student Council. ' The call of the Annual Staff for the Freshmen to aid did not pass unheeded but met an unusually good response. The Freshmen, eager to be a credit to their new school, were not found wanting in the first opportunity to help in the pro- duction of the Y lVI C A Law Schoolis major publication, even though their help be of little consequence. The Erst real chance to see what legal knowledge we were absorbing came early in 1929. On the whole the two years entrance requirement made its ad- vantages evident in that Personal Property examination for nearly all of us started the new year right side upf, Incidentally, this examination gave us our first insight of what we might expect at the end of the year. Intent on keeping right side up the Freshmen then proceeded to organize a supper club in order to become better acquainted. The presence of our Faculty at these meetings has done much to bring a closer relation between the Freshmen and the Faculty. As we look back now each and every one of the Freshmen can say that a most profitable, interesting and enjoyable year has passed. The first lap of the road is travelled and our greatest hope and desire is that we may continue the class we have been. Dean Bettman's words leave us still eager to be a great credit to the Y IW C A Law School. A final wish of the Freshman class is that fortune, prosperity, happiness, and great success may come to the graduating class as they finish the final lap of legal learning and enter actual practice. Seniors, you have sown well, may you reap even better. ELWYN C. HOFFMAN. 62 K .

E113 - 725511 The Student Council The Student Council is in its fourth year of functioning as a committee in charge of the administrative, social and the financial disposition of the funds set aside for the student activi- ties. This body has a further duty to perform, that is to assist in the solution of any problems affecting either the individual student or the student body and to bring these problems to the attention of the Faculty. T There is little to say about the activities of this year. The council was limited in the amount of funds it had at its disposal and from necessity could not allow the class banquet, as the coun- cil was of the opinion that it was of greater importance to have the All Law School Dinner and have the Annual published. WVe feel that the council is really a four year old infant and as yet can only function as an infant. It is possible for the council to do big things for the students and the school as a whole, therefore the various classes of the Law School cannot be too careful in the selection of representa- tion in the council. The prayer of this council is that the coming classes may see a vision of the possibilities of the Student Council to build a spirit of cooperative fraternity and enthusiasm in the Y lVI C A Night Law School that shall make it the outstanding Law School in the country.

A Q' O L Ss.,-se N . ,.. .. .,.. . . ., a --f Q- 1929 All Law School Banquet The 1929 All Law banquet held in the main dining room of the Chamber of Commerce building, Marcli 27, was one of the most successful, a decided success. It reflected credit to the student council committee of three, E. P. Carrier, J. Garvey Davis and Lawrence A. Knoll- man, who arranged it. A temptingly delicious menu, followed by a program of peppy speeches was the combination which found favor. Our Dean, Gilbert Bettman, now Attorney General of the State of Ohio, honored with his presence. He has been a teacher at the Y M C A Night Law School for 14 years and dean for ten years. 'There is no validity to the argument that the night law schools should be abolishedv he said. We are not giving a second-line legal education but a second chance to men and women to get a real legal education. We achieve a standard fairly comparable to the day law schools. The quality of the student body sets the standard of the schoolf, His announce- ment that he expected to be free Friday nights next year to resume his teaching of Sales was received with enthusiasm. Mr. Cecil H. Gamble, president of the Y M C A Board of Directors, Mr. Sanford H. Headley, chairman of the Law School Administration Committee, both brought felicitations. They show great zeal for accomplishment, hir. Gamble said, referring to night law school students, adding the most successfully trained college men are those who have worked for their educa- tion. They know where they are goingf' 'cBase your accomplishment on characterv was his urge. Mr. Headley paid tribute to the students. You have no cheer leaders, no football teamsw he said. '4You bring the 'will' to attain. hir. Russell VVilson, associate editor of the Cincinnati Times Star, delighted with his talk The Plea of an Ex-Lawyer, telling that the legal profession deserted him two years after he entered it and referring to his delayed career in journalism. 'SI was born several decades too soonn he said. VVhen I went to law school the class was composed of mere men. God help the judges of the next generationf' Vile laughed at his narrative of defending Foley the Goati' and sobered at his admonition: I adjure you to hang on to your ideals. Never sacrifice them for immediate benefits which are more ideal than real. Donit compromise your idealsf, hir. Henry Bentley, attorney, spoke on The Legal Profession and Public Service telling of business in the law with remarkable clarity and bringing a forceful message. hir. James G. Stewart, of the faculty presided. That alone assured the success of the program. Booming out stories, each illustrating a point, he was master of the ceremonies as only he can be. Among the guests introduced were Irwin hiarx, of the Law School Administration Com- mitteeg J. J. hIcKin1, General Secretary of the Y BI C Ag Dean hlerton L. Ferson, of Cincinnati Law School: Dean Edward Wiilliam Ney, of St. Xavier Law School and Leon G. Nichols, Direc- tor of the Y M C A schools. During the program the six new members of the Order of the Curia, honorary legal fra- ternity of the school, were presented with their keys. FRANK Wnssism.. 77 A 1 g .gear .' -, V , mu, . as -. The Federated Student Council Early in October, by a vote of all of the students of the Y M C A Schools, the Federated Student Council came into existence. Less than a month later this body was organized and functioning as a body with the following oH'icers: President, Charles Lindeman, of the School of Commerce, V ice-President, Thomas Logan, of the Law School, Secretary, Nlarie Schoolfield, of the Night Business School, and Treasurer, Wlilliam Schwemlein, of the Y M C A High School. Having as its object the securing of high standards of scholarship, the pro- motion of good fellowship, the encouraging of physical development, and the instilling of a civic consciousness among the members of the various schools, the Federated Student Council planned and supervised the Open House program on New Year's Day. The many varied contributions by the Y NI C A Schools showed the perfect co-operation upon which the Council had relied. The result was that all who were present readily appreciated the value of the Y lVI C A as an educational institution. Late in lVIarch the Council began to realize that a dinner for all ,of the Y lVI C A Schools would prove an immense help in promoting good fellow- ship and instilling civic consciousness among the scholars. Thus, on April 13, the All Y NI C A Schools Banquet was celebrated by a. large number, all of whom considered the dinner a most successful affair. By these efforts the Federated Student Council has endeavored to bring about a binding of the various schools of the Y DI C A into a single body of Y NI C A students. IELXVYN C. HOFFMAN. '78 A ,Q .D, 52 .' .ffrbx 4 i:?353i X Law School Mock Trial On New Yearis Day, the Y NI C A Night Law School gave as a part of a pro- gram of Open Housew a lVIock Trial. The purpose of this trial was to show a correct and dignified manner in which a trial should be conducted. Incidentally, it gave an illustration of what can be expected of the graduates of the Law School. The trial was of one, George Shives, charged with the murder of a fellow convict on the night on which the victim was to pay the death penalty for the murder of his own mother. The defendant was to have finished his term the following day. The state, represented by Sol. Goodman and Ernest Krusling, sought the supreme penalty. Gordon Scherer and Albert Keeler, counsel for the defense, pleaded temporary insanity, caused by the defendant being deprived of drugs to which he was addicted. Phil. Posner, James Unger, and Orian hIcElfresh were called by the bailiff, Carl Frederick, as witnesses for the prosecution. Stuart lNIcLean, VVilliam Selva, and George Shives, the defendant, offered testimony on behalf of the defense. After testimony and cross-examination of the witnesses, and splendid closing arguments by both sides, Judge Edward T. Dixon, formerly of the Common Pleas Court and now a member of the faculty, explained that since his charge to the jury would consume too much time he would assume the jury fully in- structed.
