The hour for our fir st bow before the curtain has a t last a rrived. \ Ve stand today at the very gateway of life's great activities, prepared by all t hese years of careful , pain staking in struction, and watchful ever-vigil a nt guidance, for the struggle with that real vital existence that a waits us on the outer side. Li ke a conquering army we sta nd, having a lready overcome several ba rrier s, and awaiting the new, defiantly waving our banners symbolic of ou r youthful energy and spirit, before this same gateway of Life. To the members of the Faculty, the time is approaching when we must part; and a s I stand here before you, the spokesman of my class, I cannot refrain from expressing the deep sense of obligation which rests upon us. Yours was truly a task wit h many responsibiliti es a nd burdens, yet you gave unselfis hly of your time and your energy, clay in a nd clay out, and night after night,-so that we might be better prepa red, and our own load lighter fo r the work ahead of us. We acknowledge this debt, and insofar as we are capable, we intend to pay it in the one way contemplated-by ever striving to bring honor and renown to our A lma l\Iater and our pro fession. A nd now my thoughts must necessarily t urn to those of you that have honored me as your spokesman. For me it is hard to say, that I value my legal education more, or even as much as I value t he fri endship that it was mine to have while at school. Such a friendship as ours could only have a ri sen from the reali zation that we all had a burden in common to face which could more easily be overcome by our unselfi sh willing ness to unite our knowledge, so that each mi ght gam thereby. i\Iay that fri endship last fo rever. O ur minds a re under the spell o f t wo great fo rces, memory and hope. Of memory, as we look back over the clays now at a n encl whi ch have given us a feeling unlike any other, a nd have furni shed us str ange experiences. Of hope, as each one of us stands questioning his futu re. A nd now my parting 11路orcl to you is a verse:

"O ne ship sails East, another sails West, W hile the self-s a111 e brcc:::es blo路w: 'Tis the set of the sa il, and not the gale That bids them 'i('here to go. "Lilu the <l'inds of the air arc the 'il'ars of the fate s, As we journry alo11g through life . 'Tis the set of the soul decides the goal, A nd 11 ot the storlll nor the strif e." MEYE R ] L-\ LTX .

Three short years ago, there assemb'ed at the Chicago-Kent College of Law a group of embryo judges and statesmen , students, bent upon be:::o:11ing leaders. These stud ents. part of whose previous training was recei ved at many of the great colleges and universities of the country, were destined to become the class of 1929. O fficer s elected the first yea r were Hanmer, pre sident ; Bedling, vice-president: Traksl, secreta ry; H ewitt, treasurer, and Popper, sergeant-at-arm s. T he class immediately showed it s supremacy 111 athletics and debating . Th e second year, l\Ieyer Balin was chosen to lead the class, with :-Ionarch, vice-president; \rVolfberg, secreta ry: E dward s, trea surer ; Leah Jacob son, se rgeant-at-arms. It was a well-recognized fact that the inten se application to stud y involved a curtailment of mo st of the social activities ordinarily embraced in th e school year , so they were di spensed with. The determination to master the all importan t subject s propounded 111 the Junior yea r re sulted in victory for most of those whose assiduity and conscientious endeavor had gained for them a comprehensive knowledge of the fundamentab of the la w. The great dread for th e examinati on s, however , proved well founded, for the final te sts of the seme ster proved as unpregnab!e to m2ny students as the J\ock of Gibralter. Th e Junior Class kept up the precedent establi shed while fresh men. bv contiiluing to be victorious 111 debating, and agam showed their prowess 111 the a rt of convincing argument. It was the unanimous opinion of the cla ss th at its thr ee man team, composed of Charles H . Ed\\-c1rds, J ohn C. Weaver, a nd E. Douglas Schwa ntes, were inf eri or to none when it came to th e clear and lucid presentation of su bjects for debate. It was with a feeling of satisfaction that a nother g reat milestone had been passed at the encl of the Juni or yea r, and th e la st lap 111 the race for lea rning loomed in the near future. O ur last year found ll alin aga m at th e helm \vith the officers listed at the head of this story as hi s n111111ng mates. It 1vas \\路ith a feeling of confid ence 39

that we embarked upon our last scholastic venture, smce we knew that graduation was around the corner. And now that graduation 1s 111 the offing, we may look back reminiscently at the time spent at Chicago-Kent. The weeks and months of endeavor, which 111 the prospective seemed endless, have clicked by like joints in the rails of swiftly moving trains. It is little to wonder then that we semors feel proud of the record we have established at school; tbe feeling that the seed bas been sown which makes for great lawyers and statesmen. The learning which we have absorbed in the three years of nights has resulted 111 the erection of a substantial foundation upon which the success of the class of '29 1s assured, for it is a truism that the earnest application of reason, hard work and honest endeavor can have but one ultimate result, and that is success. Thus the history of the class of 1929 is but the commencement, and at the same time the nucleus of the bright and vivid history which 1s made 111 the battle of life, for \\路hich we have been so throughly prepared at Kent.

History of the Class of 1930

T

HH.EE month s of recreati on served well in r eviving the zeal an d vigor with which the Class of 1930 was to encounter th e tasks set for it in its seco nd yea r of existence. No preliminaries, such as were provided in our infancy, were necessary to acclimate us to th e rigorou s routine of the School. We settled clown in earn est earl y in the year to meet those dragons, Real Property, Ev id ence a nd \!V ill s, concerning whi ch we had heard much wh il e engrossed 111 our fir st engagement w ith th e Law Books.

The Class was !eel through the conflict by the fo llo wing office r s, who were elected December 19, 1928: Clayton B. Thomas ........... . .... . ............. President Charl es K irschbaum ............. . ........... V ice-President l\Ia ry Arth ur ... ... ... .. ... ....... ..... ... ....... Secretary J. J. Chapman ....... .......... . ... .. .. ... . ..... T reasur er Harry l\Iartin .. . ....... ............ ...... Sergeant-at-arm s E arl y in the second Semester, a meeting was ca ll ed and plan s were laid for a Class Party, an event almost unhea rd-of in th e annals of th e Junior Cla ss a t Ke nt. A Social Committee was appointed and was composed of the following student s: Charle s K irschbaum, Chairman ; E. G. Gernrich, Walter W. Planke , W illiam C. l\IacLea n, and l\I. C. Van A lyea. U nder the ab le direction of these men, the plan s materi alized and on the evenmg of l\Iay 10, 1929, th e Class a ssembl ed at the l\Iorrison Hotel and enj oyed two hours of diversifi ed entertainment. Interesting r emark s by J uclge Pickett, together with some excellent mu sical number s by Professor William G. Wood a nd Cha rles N ewton, a member of the Graduating Cla ss, made those attending feel that their dollars had been well spent. This occasion gave us an opportunity to welcome back one of tho se who had prev iously strayed from the fl ock:, l\Ii ss l\Iary A rthur. A resolution, made by J. Warren l\IcCaffrey, was adopted , to the effect, that the Cla ss would, 111 1930, follow the precedent it had establi shed a nd would plan to hold a Class Pa rty after it had return ed to Ke nt as a band of bold and mighty Seniors. A lthough th e Cla ss Debating Team was vanquished by the verdant Freshmen in the Inter-Class contests, our broth er s Francis E. Cash and J . Warren l\IcCaffrey able to display t hei r fine fettle 111 th e word battles of the InterColl egiate Debates in a manner which brought words of pra ise for our Cla ss and School. \Ne are proud of th e Record we have left 111 the Halls of Kent, fe ll owstuclent s, and we look eage rl y forward to the time when we shall be driving the fi nal rivet into our Hope Chest of Knowledge. ~Cla:/ton B. Thomas .

1929


Forensics ~ G the past D UeRI nviable p ositio n

year the Chicago-Kent College of La w retaineJ its ic the fo r eground of intercoll egia t e deb a ting .

E arl y 111 th e sch oo l year , the stude nts w er e g iy en t h e oppor t unity of di splaying their individual talents in the field of foren sic art. The occas10n being the annual tryouts in the respective classes to determine the winners of the Edmund W. Burke Memorial prizes given to the students of the college who excel 111 oratory and debating . The contests were held under the very able supervi sion of Coach W illia m James. T he students r esponded very enthusiastically to hi s call, competition was keen, a nd as a result the oratory was filled with eloquence a nd logic, a nd the speeches were of an exceptional high caliber. The success ful contestants in the Senior debating contest were: E. Douglas Schwantes, Charles H. Edwards, and David A . S kalitzky. The awards in the Junior contest went to P. W arren l\IcCaffery, Vernon Sigler , and F rancis E . Cash. T he winner s o f the F reshman contest were: Robert N. Bishop, Horace G. Marshall, and R icha rd G. F inn. Immediately following these success ful tr youts, wer e h eld the round robin series of debates to determine the class champions o f the college. The fi rst interclass debate was held between the team s o f the F reshman a nd Junior classes on the evening of November 2nd. T he subject a rgued pro a nd con with excellent thought a nd debating ability was : "Resolved : T hat national adverti sing, as now car ried on, 1s socially a nd econom ically ha rmful. " T he F reshmen successfull y upheld the negative side of t he question. E ncouraged by their victor y, the F reshmen now had high a mbitions, and earnestly prepared to meet the noble Seniors. O n F riday evernng, December 14th, these ri vals debated a subj ect well chosen fo r law students, na mely, Resolved : "That t rial by 1ury should be abolished m the United States." T he debate att racted a la rge audience, everyone of whom thoroughly enj oyed th is bitter struggle fo r the team deba ting a nd oratorical supremacy of the College. T he F reshmen upholding the negative were milita nt to the encl, but they could not quite match the eloquence a nd cogent a rgument of t he more experienced Seniors. As a result the Senior class team emerged victorious and were declared the class Champions of the College. T hose who represented th e victors. who thi s year are class cha mpions, were E. Douglas Schwantes, David A . Skalitzky, and Cha rles H. Edwards. Coach \.Vi lli am James now spent hi s efforts and time preparing hi s debators for th e series of intercollegiate radio debates, over Wl\fAQ that were soon to fol low. 69 ~---

..... , 1929 ~,,/-"----------/路~


On Janua ry 13th, Chicago-Kent College of Law went on t he air, for the first time thi s year, against Coe College. J. 路warren l\IcCaffery and Francis E. Cash very ably advocated the negative of the question: "Resolved. "That further extension of install ment buying would be economically unsound ." T he result of the contest was determined by popular vote, the radio audience ma iling 111 their votes. Coe College received a slight majority.

I

j

\\"a shington and Lee University sent a strong team to our city on February 10th to debate the follo wing subj ect: " R esolved, T hat Congress should enact uniform marriage and divorce laws for all states, constitutional ity waived." The Chicago-Kent College was very well represented by Charles H. Edwards, Richard G. F inn, a nd Robert N. Bishop, who upheld the negative side of the question, but un fortu nately the majority of the radi o audience refused to be moved by their splendid efforts. The colors of Chicago-Kent College were carried to a decisive victory on l\Iarch 10th. T he debating team of the U niversity of F lori da came up from the South to engage our team on the following subj ect, "Resolved, T hat the system of trial by jury should be a bol ished in the United States." So successfully did David A. Skalitzky, Horace G. l\Iarsh all, a nd E . Douglas Sch wantes propound the negative that one member of the radio a udience from Iowa mai led in the foll owing letter: " I have noted carefully-grasp of t he question, accuracy of analysis, selection of evi dence, order and cogency of a rguments; likewise. earnestness of voice, emphasis and enunciation. I cast my vote for the team representing the Chicago-Kent College of Law." This debate drew the largest popular vote of the season. O ur seri es of radio debates was brought to a most successful close on April 7th when Robe rt N. Bishop and Vernon S igler met and defeated the team from the College of St. Thomas who last year won the National Coll egiate Debating Cham pionship. The team from Chi cago-Kent College argued with commending a bility and success the negative of the foll owing subj ect: "Resolved, T hat the public should retain ownership of a nd develop the principal sources o f hydroelectric power in the U nited States." To Coach \iVilliam James belongs the credit a nd honor of entrenching the debating teams o f the Chicago-Kent College of Law in a position of ve ry high r epute 111 the field of intercoll egiate forensics. T h e debaters a re greatly 111 debted to him for the unstinted efforts he has extended in their behalf. \i\!ith much patience a nd skill he has developed voices that someday may resound in the halls of Congress.

umpires-Billy 路woods, Billy Woods, and JJilly 'Woods. No one else wanted the job. Final A rbitrators-.i\Irs. Bissel and .i\Iiss Jacobson . DO N 'T TRY TO FIGURE THIS GAi\IE O U T BECAUSE IT IS L\IPOSSIBLE. First Inning BLUES: "I'm telling you" Al Buccieri gives the ball a shower bath with his ever-dry saliva and throws the ball. "Ball one:" bawls Billy 路woods. Immediately the Whites rush in and force the ump to swear that he will tell nothing but the truth and the whole truth. On the next toss, Kilanowski hits to Zambreno, who threw the ball to Bissell who did there and then with malice aforethought tag him out. But the ump, apparently thinking that he was playing golf said Mitch made a hole in one. Billy Woods called 4 balls on Chambers and sat him clown. The Whites then filed a mandamus petition asking that Billy Woods call a ball a ball and not a strike. (Kind hearted people, these lawyers.) MacMillan stole second without hitting the ball, and as a consequence an indictment was returned against him charging that the aforesaid .i\Iac did there and then unlawfully did commit a crime against the King (help, the British are coming) by unlawfully, etc., appropriating to his use one second base of the value of $10.00. The vVhites were overruled by Billy vVoocls on the ground that no notice was served. Bill Meagher swung at the next one so hard that he knocked i\Ieister out of breath. An action of trespass was filed, but the Whites lost after Rasky pleaded "Scienter," Billy Woods thus acknowledging that every clog is entitled to one bite. Braiman, being tired of waiting, hit the next ball to Stonescu and walked to third. He blamed this mistake on his pipe and was sustained. Upon this ruling a riot, affray, and a public fight followed . Ten thousand people were hurt and nobody knows how many were killed. The police is hot on the trail of the guilty party and several arrests are expected soon. (Who cares.) Rosenzweig hit a fly to Haney and was immediately taken out by the AntiCruelty Society for being cruel to animals . Rappaport batted in his place and after hitting the ball he ran after it and caught the darn thing for the second out. (Some people get that way after going to a law school for three years.) He received a great hand but returned it saying that a Packard would be more a ppreciatecl. Volke tripled to deep center for the third out. It was a tremendous hit and Volke sold three second-hand cars to his admirers. WHITES: A fter Chick Newton called the roll, he swung hard at two pitched balls and walked . .i\Ioham refused to hit the ball on the grom1d that there was a latent ambiguity in it and brought an action against the manufacturer on the grounds that they were defrauding the public. This case is now pending in the Soaprine Court. A deci sion which will shock the legal world is expected. ( A ny decision generally shock s the legal world .) Zambreno called Billy Woods a robber after the latter called him out on 4 ball s. Billy \i\Toocl s filed an acti on of slander again st Zarnbreno and Zam

admitted that he will try to get out by pleading the truth, that is, the truth of the matter that Billy 路woods did rob him by calling him out. The boys expect Billy Woods to win; he generally does anyhow. The case may be tried before an Oak Park J. P. Consec1uently Nick Stonescu hit the ball out of the park and in consequence did then and there consequently run the bases and in consequence, the consequences were rather disasterous to the Blues . The Blues appealed on a writ of error claiming that the ball fell foul. They always do this . Lon Haney, the Herin Streak refused to continue with the game on the grounds that if he actually hit the ball the sheriff out at Herin would take him to jail. Some people have all the luck. 11

Mrs. Dissell got tired at this time and took her husband out of the game. Poor Jay had no alternative. He had to go. Buccieri started to wise crack about the life of a bachelor but he immediately stopped when he saw l\iiss Jacobson approaching. Everybody got tired at this time and the game was postponed. anyhow.

Nobody cares

EVEN THE LEGAL MIND ENJOYS A GOOD JOKE.
