At the conclusion of the blessing, President Schaffer made the following request: (5) — 6 Thirty-third Annual Meeting and Banquet. I "Before we take our seats I ask all of you to stand silent for a moment in memory of a knightly Scotch Irishman, Lewis S. Sadler." Toward the close of the dinner, Hon. William I. Schaffer addressed the Society as follows: The President (Honorable William I. Schaffer) : Gentlemen of the Society : —One of the many functions of the President of your Society is to act as toastmaster at its Annual Banquet. The present toastmaster needs no ad- monishing as to what are the functions of a toastmaster. He knows that in your minds you are echoing the thought which was expressed by a caustic old lawyer in the judicial district adjoining the one where I used to practice law, who had an enemy in the town in which he lived. This enemy bought the adjoining property to him, and the morning after the purchase, the caustic old lawyer came out and saw his enemy with work- men engaged in digging a foundation for a house. The enemy turned to the caustic old lawyer and said, "I am thinking about putting a darkey in it," and the caustic old lawyer said, "Anybody but you." (Laughter.) I understand, of course, that that is the mental attitude of diners towards the toast- masters, yet it seems to me that on this the Annual Gathering of our Society it may not be out of place for the President of the Society to call the attention of the membership to why we are here. We are here, if I correctly analyze the reason for our being here, because of a justifiable pride that each and all of us feel, the pride of race. It has been said by some philosopher, speaking on the subject of race, that a race con- sists of men bound by a similar character. Whether that be a correct definition or not, what we all know is that as differ- ent soils produce different vegetation so different soils and climates produce different races of men. We belong to one of the distinctive outstanding, composite personalities known to the world as a race. When you come to scan the map of Western Europe it is a surprising thing as you run your eye up the Atlantic Coast, to see what has been accomplished by the small individual races that dot its shores. Portugal is Pennsylvania Scotch-Irish Society. y not more than half as large as Pennsylvania. Its stock primarily is Basque. It has maintained itself racially intact, and you only have to take up the map of South America to see what a tremendous part that race of men, surrounded on all sides by men of alien blood, have accomplished in the world.

IMPEACHMENT OF FEDERAL JUDGES: AN HISTORICAL OVERVIEW FRANK THOMPSON, JR.* AND DANIEL H. POLLITTr "The Place of Justice is an hallowed place, and therefore ought to be preserved without scandal and corruption." These were the words of Francis Bacon, philosopher, scientist, and the most gifted of the English Renaissance men. But in his capacity as Lord Chancellor, he came a cropper. In 1621, the highest judicial officer in England was impeached for accepting bribes from litigants-sometimes from litigants on both sides of the case-and his only defense was that he never gave the briber his due unless he deserved it on the merits. Bacon was charged by the House of Commons, found guilty by the House of Lords, and sentenced to im- prisonment in the Tower "during the King's pleasure." King James liberated him from the prison within a few days and gave him a full pardon.

  • Trinity College Alumni News, December 1947
    • TRINITY COLLEGE Alumni News December, r 947 • THE TRUSTEES AT THE OCTOBER 25TH MEETING MOVED TO ADOPT THE FOLLOWING MINUTE CONCERNING The Late Judge Joseph Buffington The Honorable Joseph Buffington, of the Class of 1875, served Trinity College with unparalleled devotion and with great distinction. He was elected an Alumnus Trustee in 1900 and reelected until 1918, when he was made a permanent member of the Board. His loyalty to Trinity was such that it is safe to say that he regarded none of his many honors or achievements more highly than he did his forty;seven years of service as a member of this Board. During the seventy;six years of his association with Trinity College, he played an important part in the great progress made by his Alma Mater. Having attended the College when it was located on Capitol Hill, he witnessed with deep satisfaction the move to the present campus and the construction of fifteen buildings thereon. He saw the growth of the student body from eighty;one to eight hundred and eighty;four students, and aided in increasing the endowed resources of the College from somewhat less than $400,000 to over $4,000,000. Judge Buffington has ever been a symbol representing the high achievement possible for a man trained in the liberal arts. The integrity, courage, sound judgment, devotion to high moral principle, loyalty, and persuasiveness which brought him at an early age to national prominence exemplified in one man the qualities which Trinity College attempts to induce in its students. The Judge will be sorely missed not only by his colleagues on this Board, but also by the hundreds of Trinity men who have been inspired by his example.
