Law School Commencement Exercises , /i i ! ;) ',', UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA LAW SCHOOL COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES Honoring the Class of 1979 in Law FRIDAY, JUNE 8, 1979 Northrop Memorial Auditorium Sweet Survivor You remember when you felt each person mattered, When we all had to care or all was lost. But now you see believers turned to cynics And you wonder, was the struggle worth the cost. Then you see someone too young to know the difference, And the veil of isolation in their eyes. And inside you know you've got to believe in something Or the hope for something better slowly dies. Carry on, my sweet survivor. Carry on, my own true friend. Don't give up on the dream. Don't you Jet it end. Carry on. my sweet survivor, Though you know that something's gone. For everything that matters carry on. By Peter Yarroll', Barry Mann, Cynthia Wei! IRVING YOUNGER The Commencement speaker, Irving Younger, is Samuel S. Leibowitz Professor of Trial Techniques at Cornell Law School and a visiting professor the past year at Harvard Law School.

Tribute to Irving Younger Robert B. McKay* Irving Younger was a man in a hurry all his too-brief life. I first met him in February 1956 when he and Judith, his wife of less than a year, entered New York University School of Law in a spring entering class (since discontinued). Irving was re- cently out of military service and characteristically unwilling to wait for the more typical admission in the fall term. It was my good fortune to have both Irving and Judith in a Contracts class among the small group of students who elected to begin law study in the spring of 1956. Not surprisingly, both were excel- lent students and active and eager participants of the kind for which many law teachers now long. Both went on to Law Re- view, Irving as editor-in-chief and Judith as articles editor, and both remained personal friends of mine from that time forth. Irving and Judith Younger, after graduation from NYU in 1958, went on to a two-career success story that has few paral- lels in the American legal profession.

Prosecuting* Irving Younger** Every federal judicial district-there are ninety-one of them plus three for the territories-has a United States Attor- ney, and every United States Attorney has assistants, but to be an Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York is to be a touch above the rest, or so Assistant United States Attorneys for the Southern District of New York have always believed. Because the Southern District of New York includes Manhattan, it gets a good deal of the country's major litigation. Lawyers practicing and judges presiding in the Southern District of New York tend, on the average, .to surpass their colleagues elsewhere in respect to acumen and energy. Similarly distinguished above their competitors in other parts of the country are the criminals who ply their trade in the Southern District of New York. What goes on in the court- rooms of the Southern District of New York seems somehow to be weightier, more imposing, and frequently more eccentric than what goes on in the courthouses of the other districts.
