GRAND MASTER OF KANSAS. M. W. Brethren H. G. Reynolds, Levi Lusk and J. R. Gorin in- troduced M. W. Bro. John H. Brown, Grand Master of the M. W. Grand Lodge of Kansas, who was welcomed by the M. W Grand Master and received with the Grand Honors, in acknowledgment of which he responded with pertinent remarks. Proceedings of the NOTE. 'I'hc entire contents of the Grand Masters Office were de.stroye<l l)y the great fire in Chicago on the Sth and 9th of October last. Among the papers was the Annual Address of which the following is a copy re-written from memory. The original draft contained reference to several matters, together with dates, &c., which the Grand Master re- grets that he cannot re-t all to memory and which are therefore of ne- cessity omitted. O. H. MINER, Grand Secretary The M. VV. Grand Master delivered the following ADDRESS. BRETHREN OF THE M. W. GRAND LODGE OF ILLINOIS. Through the ceaseless march of time the period of our Annual Communication has aj^ain arrived. We have come hither from every part of our fair .State to review the record of our past year's labor, to correct its errors,—if any there be,—and pre- pare new designs for the future, and I avail myself of the passing moment to tender you, one and all, and through you to the Craft throughout Illinois, a fer\'ent, fra- ternal greeting. From every portion of our vast jurisdiction come the good tidings of unity, har- mony and prosperity. For these and other blessings which have been vouchsafed to us as Citizens anti as Masons, let us unite in grateful thanksgiving to Almighty God. In submitting a report of the administration of Ma.sonic aft'airs liuring the p.a-sl year, I shall endeavor to be as brief as the varied subjects to be touched will ad- mit of. First then it Ijecomes my painful duty to announce, that since we last met, a num- ber of our beloved Brethren have been CALLED TO ETERNAL REST. K. \V. Mro. Ai.iiNZo Ransom, a Past D. D. (i. M. of our Jurisdiction, died t)n the Eleventh <lay of October, 1S70. He w.is ."it the time of his death, and had been for 14 ycais. Master of Rii limoiid lA)dge, No. 143. It was not my privilege Grand Lodge of Illinois. to have a personal acquaintance with the deceased, yet I am aware he was held in high esteem by the fraternity. On the 29th of April last W. Bro. the Hon. Sharon Tyndale, late Secretary of State for Illinois, was basely assassinated at a midnight hour near his residence in the City of Springfield. The deceased Bro. was an active member of this Grand Lodge in which body I was associated with him on committees, and it affords me pleasure to bear testimony to his character as a gentleman of culture, as well as to his zeal as a Mason. In the death of Bro. JOHN Mellen, of Quincy, we lose another link which binds us to the past.

CHICAGO-KENT LAW REVIEW VOLUME 18 DECEMBER, 1939 NUMBER 1 SURVEY OF ILLINOIS LAW FOR THE YEAR 1938-1939' PERSONS MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS L EGISLATIVE and judicial activity in the field of muni- cipal corporations during the past year has produced a considerable amount of material of importance to those per- sons having direct dealings with public agencies. In the leg- islative field further inroads have been made upon the stat- utory debt limitations of various political subdivisions. The 21/2 per cent limitation was removed in the case of school districts constructing or improving and equipping school buildings; 2 and in the case of cities, villages, and incorpor- ated towns, constructing or improving bridges and airport hangars of landing fields.3 A law has also been enacted requiring municipalities to ascertain the prevailing wage rates for all workmen em- ployed upon public construction projects and to specify in the contract documents that such rates must be paid by the contractors to whom public work is awarded." Another act passed by the legislature requires preference to be given on public works projects to resident Illinois laborers who are citizens of the United States or have received their first naturalization papers.

ILLINOIS AND THE RIGHT OF PRIVACY: HISTORY AND CURRENT STATUS by JAY M. HANSON* The bureaucracy of modern government is not only slow, lum- bering, and oppressive; it is omnipresent. It touches everyone's life at numerous points. It pries more and more into private affairs, breaking down the barriers that individuals erect to give them some insulation from the intrigues and harrassments of modern life.' Contrasted to the common law, a constitutionally protected right of privacy from government intrusion was unrecognized a century ago and barely gained judicial discussion by 1928.2 Al- though not explicitly contained within the United States Consti- tution, this right of privacy obtained the recognition of the United States Supreme Court in 19653 and has subsequently blossomed into a fundamental right protected by the Bill of Rights.

SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY UNDER THE 1970 ILLINOIS CONSTITUTION - THE ABOLITION OF A FEUDAL NOTION INTRODUCTION The doctrine of sovereign immunity has traditionally been couched in terms of "The King can do no wrong"; and as this phrase would suggest, the doctrine clearly represents one of the most noteworthy vestiges of feudal notions. How it came to be applied in the United States has been described as "one of the mysteries of legal evolution,"' for the king is an entity for- eign to our mode of government. Nevertheless, the doctrine is found in both the common law 2 and early Illinois constitutions,3 as well as other state constitutions. 4 Despite its constitutional dimension, the doctrine has been uniformly denounced by legal scholars- and subjected to vigorous legislative and judicial at- tacks in recent years.

    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 358 550 EA 024 989 AUTHOR Hickrod, George Alan Karnes Wallis; Pruyne, Gwen, Ed. TITLE Invictus: Five Advocacy Presentations on Educational Fiscal Policy in Illinois Including Material Relating to the Attempt To Establish Education as a Fundamental Constitutional Right in 1992. INSTITUTION Illinois State Univ., Normal. Center for the Study of Educational Finance. PUB DATE Mar 93 NOTE 38p. PUB TYPE Viewpoints (Opinion/Position Papers, Essays, etc.) (120) Speeches/Conference Papers (150) EDRS PRICE MF01/PCO2 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Constitutional Law; *Court Litigation; *Educational Equity (Finance); Elementary Secondary Education; *Equal Education; *Finance Reform; *Public Schools; State Aid; State Courts IDENTIFIERS *Illinois ABSTRACT This monograph contains five presentations delivered during the course of an attempt made in November 1992 to amend the state constitution of Illinois in such a way as to make educationa fundamental constitutional right. The effort failed togarner the 60 percent of the vote required to pass the amendment. These presentations made a strong advocacy case for the amendment's approval. The first presentation was given before a ruralgroup that issued a legal challenge to the state school finance system. The second piece is a written statement presented to the Task Forceon Illinois School Finance. The statement was basedon reports from the task force and is the most specific to Illinois of all of the presentations in this collection. The third presentation outlines the broad philosophical arguments for making educationa constitutional right. The fourth presentation explores questions about whether inequalities in spending at different schools makesa difference in the quality of education. The fifth presentationwas given after the defeat of the constitutional amendment at the polls and the court challenge.
