Dean, College of Law
The College of Law of the University of Idaho is one of the smallest of the accredited law schools in the United States. Fortunately, size is no measure of quality in the legal world. Indeed smallness permits a continuing personal contact between faculty and student for three years. At times this closeness probably seems a dubious blessing on both sides of the platform as personalities grate a bit. But it does obviate the almost universal complaint of the student of today "I am only a number overwhelmed by the system." This issue of the Gem of the Mountains marks the graduation of thirty-eight young lawyers. Speaking now to them in particular we do not celebrate an ending but a transition from junior partnership to full membership in our profession for which we are convinced by personal knowledge that you are highly qualified.-DEAN MENARD
