REPORT PROGRESS THROUGH INITIATIVE This year has witnessed one of the most formidable advances made by Boston With the last days of school drawing near, the time has come to appraise the College Law School student organizations in the history of the school. It evidenced operation of the Student Bar Association and to assess its value to the school and a shrugging off of that perennial blanket of student apathy which in the past has the student body. smothered the spark of initiative which students bring to a new school. The purpose of the Student Bar Association is set out in the preamble to its Not to belabor President Kennedy's thoughts of "Ask not what can be done for constitution. The Association is dedicated to advance the ideals and objectives of you, but what can you do?", we cite them as the best summation of a way of life, Boston College Law School, to promote the ethical principles of the profession, to not only for students but as lawyers in the future, that will always mean progress. further the high scholastic standards of the school, to coordinate the activities of It doesn't require Aristotelian logic to realize that if everyone waits for the other the student body and to promote unity among faculty, students and alumni. person to do something it will never be done. The events of the past year have proven that a rededication ·to these purposes For those who still haven't accepted the challenge, it must be disheartening to is necessary. In practical application this requires of ea·ch student an awareness of realize that except for their own personal gratification they must just as well the true wo rth of B.C.L.S., a willingness to spread its good name and a refusal to never have come to B.C.L.S. and their lives might just as well never have been indulge in petty criticisms. In short, it requires a spirit of optimistic positiveness. lived. But this group has become a small minority as they have found that there is no longer a place for them at B.C.L.S . High morale is the mark of a good law school. Only one second year student, last year, was honest enough to admit that his own failure to study was the cause This year the graduating class was presented with the age old problem of place­ of his lower academic standing and that through his own fault he became cynical ment.

White, Jr. The placement program was exceptional. Special credits go to Donald J. Fleming Editor-in-Chief and John H. Sullivan. The success of this experiment proves that there is no sub­ stitute for initiative. The story of the placement program is revealing. Today, there are lists of numerous opportunities, but for the most part, only a few students have utilized them. This perhaps is a healthy sign. The roster of graduates who have accepted positions gives testimony to the industry of the individual. MOST students have found positions through their own efforts. Nevertheless, I recommend that the program be continued as a service to both students and alumni. It is significant Sui Juris that with but one exception, the alumni have approved and joined in the program.
