Dale, Jessie Ethel Lockport «** President's Address •_* LADIES AND GENTLEMEN: It is ray privilege and pleasure to introduce to you the Class of 1905. We appreciate the honor which your presence confers upon us. The interest which you manifest in us and in our work now, as in the past, will encourage us to put forth our best efforts, on this occasion and in the years to come. We feel that our powers will be increased and our lives made richer by the consciousness that there are those who take an interest in us—who will rejoice in our success and sympathize with us in our failures. It is our purpose as we go forth from this place, to work to acquire and to become true to the instruction and to the high ideals which we have here received, in return for the years spent in this school. On the coat of arms carved above the front entrance of our Alma Mater appears the single word, "Excelsior." If any word can repre' sent the ideas and aims gained by the members of the Class of 1905, during their school life here, it is the word Excelsior. This word is associated with two thoughts firmly fixed in our minds: that there is a great world of resources and possibilities that lies beyond our little world and that we are to take our place in it as helpers and learners. We are not ambitious for unmerited honors, nor to be assigned to places for which we are not qualified. But it is our purpose to so do the work that falls to us, that we shall be given an opportunity to render the best and fullest service of which we are capable. We feel sure that the world recognizes worth and that we will gain recogni­ tion as we prove ourselves worthy. It is our highest ambition to follow the teachings received here so that on all occasions we shall be found to be men and women in the best meaning of the words. Men and women who may fail, but who will never cease to strive. Classmates: As our school life in Fredonia is nearly at an end, permit me to take this opportunity to thank you for your kindness and hearty co-operation which have made the duties of the office which you have conferred upon me easy and pleasant. May the future bring you the happiness that comes to those who are faithful and 172 THE NORMAL LEADER. successful in the work they have to do; and may the name and influ­ ence ofthe Fredonia Normal never be made less because of the Class of 1905. Friends: While this occasion means so mach to us, we hope it may not be without interest to you. We trust that our school-fel­ lows may find something in the excersises to enjoy and to stimulate their anticipation for a similar event in which they will be the chief part, and that the older friends may be helped to live over again some similar by-gone experiences in youthful pleasures, hopes and aspira­ tions. ALTON R. BUNCE. & & SHLQZEZORy THE KINDEST OF GREETINGS TO YOU ALL! It is Cicero who says. "They seem to take away the sun from the world who withdraw friendship from life, for we have received noth­ ing better from the immortal Gods. Nothing more delightful." Friendship has verified itself the world over, and nothing better illustrates the universal wish to be friendly than the greetings that pass in all countries from man to man. They show that we receive everyone as a friend, and the kindness that goes forth with the greet­ ing cannot fail to produce a thrill of pleasure in some heart. Sympa­ thy and cordiality will break down every cold barrier. So, friends, permit us to express the pleasure we have in youj presence here to-night; for the Class of 1905 has only two more days to live. We shall soon obtain the prize for which we have baen striv­ ing for four long, yet seemingly short years. We must now enter THE NORMAL LEADER. 173 upon the greater field of life which lies stretched out before us. We must cast away our school privileges and pleasures only to hold them with the firm grasp of our memories, and to assume those duties that surround us as we leave the threshold of our Alma Mater. But our equipment is good, and our armor strong, and with these we can bravely meet our worldly battles. We must adapt measures to the situation and put our whole selves in the undertaking if we wish to succeed. We may fail often* but failure will only strengthen our determination to make a success, for " Men may rise on stepping stones Of their dead selves to higher things." We, as a class must soon part but we can defy any circumstance to arise which can weaken these ties of friendship formed by us during our life here. These school ties will ever be a kindly remembrance to us. Let to-night be one of the brightest and happiest events of our school course. Although another class will soon take our place, we will enjoy the few hours remaining for us to the utmost. During the exercises I bid you listen to our chosen representatives; to our his­ torian, as she discloses to you the history of our class; to our proph­ etess, as she looks with prophetic eyes into the far distant future; to our musician, as she charms you with her music as Orpheus did his audience of old; and to our orator, as he sways men's minds by the logic of his arguments. And as we are gathered here to-night to be entertained with joke and satire, though we seem to chide one another, you must remember that good friendship and kindly feelings are the motives. We will sac­ rifice our own mistakes and follies to enjoy those of others.

  • Toward a History of the American Rule on Attorney Fee Recovery
    TOWARD A HISTORY OF THE AMERICAN RULE ON ATTORNEY FEE RECOVERY JOHN LEUBSDORF* I INTRODUCTION In a sense, the American rule has no history. As far back as one can trace, courts in this country have allowed winning litigants to recover their litigation costs from losers only to the extent prescribed by the legislature.I But closer exam- ination reveals that the justification of this rule and its significance in the economy of litigation have varied over the years. Indeed, there may be too much history to handle: the path leads to the study of aspects of procedure, remedies, and profes- sional responsibility which interact with fee rules, and beyond that into the uncharted finances of the American bar. This terrain is also obscured by the pecu- liar reluctance of the bench and bar either to justify or to change a law of costs which required successful litigants to bear most of the expense of vindicating themselves. This article will sketch the history of attorney fee recovery in the United States. During the late colonial period, legislation provided for fee recovery as an aspect of comprehensive attorney fee regulation. But this regulatory scheme did not long survive the Revolution. During the first half of the nineteenth century, lawyers freed themselves from fee regulation and gained the right to charge clients what the market would bear. As a result, the right to recover attorney fees from ..n opposing party became an unimportant vestige. This triumph of fee contracts between lawyer and client as the financial basis of litigation prepared the way for legislators and judges to proclaim the principle that one party should not be liable for an opponent's legal expenses.

  • The Life and Works of Rufus Choate.1
    AMERICAN LAW REGISTER, APRIL, 1863. THE LIFE AND WORKS OF RUFUS CHOATE.1 We have approached this subject with the most unaffected diffidence and distrust. It is no holiday task to set forth, in a manner befitting the subject, the leading incidents and character- istics of the life, and labors, of such a man as Rurus OnoATE. But we did not feel at liberty to pass by so important an in.cident in the history of forensic life, in America, as the publication of the life of such a man, without bearing a brief testimony in its behalf. At a time when mediocrity is so generally in the ascendant; when mightier armies than ever Wellington or Napoleon commanded, are, of necessity, committed to the guidance of men who never built a rampart nor set a squadron in the field; when the cabinet and the council, from the commander-in-chief to his humblest subaltern, must read as they run, or run as they read, laboring to learn their lessons as they practise them: when all is change and uncertainty on the one band'; and presumption and arrogance, on I The Works of Rufus Choate, 'with a Mfemoir of his Life. fly Samuel Gilman Brown, Professor in Dartmouth College.

Possibly we may have some member of the legisla- ture who might abolish all taxes in the years to come and then some future poet in singing his praises may write: "He took the tax away And built for himself an everlasting name." But until Colorado appoints this poet laureate let us resign ourselves to the adage that two things are certain, Death and Taxes. THE LAYMAN'S VIEW OF A LAWYER The chief function of a lawyer is to predict for his client what the court will or would do under given circumstances. Every lawyer knows this; or, if he gives a little thought to the point, will acknowledge it, but the layman views the matter otherwise. Use to him the term "great lawyer" and he sees Rufus Choate before a jury, or Daniel Webster before the Supreme Court of the United States. The picture which he does not see is that before such appearances each of these great men has been consulted and has given his opinion as to what the result will be, is likely to be, or ought to be under the facts as they are detailed to him.

  • CHAIRMEN of SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–Present
    CHAIRMEN OF SENATE STANDING COMMITTEES [Table 5-3] 1789–present INTRODUCTION The following is a list of chairmen of all standing Senate committees, as well as the chairmen of select and joint committees that were precursors to Senate committees. (Other special and select committees of the twentieth century appear in Table 5-4.) Current standing committees are highlighted in yellow. The names of chairmen were taken from the Congressional Directory from 1816–1991. Four standing committees were founded before 1816. They were the Joint Committee on ENROLLED BILLS (established 1789), the joint Committee on the LIBRARY (established 1806), the Committee to AUDIT AND CONTROL THE CONTINGENT EXPENSES OF THE SENATE (established 1807), and the Committee on ENGROSSED BILLS (established 1810). The names of the chairmen of these committees for the years before 1816 were taken from the Annals of Congress. This list also enumerates the dates of establishment and termination of each committee. These dates were taken from Walter Stubbs, Congressional Committees, 1789–1982: A Checklist (Westport, CT: Greenwood Press, 1985). There were eleven committees for which the dates of existence listed in Congressional Committees, 1789–1982 did not match the dates the committees were listed in the Congressional Directory. The committees are: ENGROSSED BILLS, ENROLLED BILLS, EXAMINE THE SEVERAL BRANCHES OF THE CIVIL SERVICE, Joint Committee on the LIBRARY OF CONGRESS, LIBRARY, PENSIONS, PUBLIC BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS, RETRENCHMENT, REVOLUTIONARY CLAIMS, ROADS AND CANALS, and the Select Committee to Revise the RULES of the Senate. For these committees, the dates are listed according to Congressional Committees, 1789– 1982, with a note next to the dates detailing the discrepancy.

Farrell University of New Hampshire The broad and profound influence of classical rhetoric in early America can be observed in both the academic study of that ancient discipline, and in the practical approaches to persuasion adopted by orators and writers in the colonial period, and during the early republic. Classical theoretical treatises on rhetoric enjoyed wide authority both in college curricula and in popular treatments of the art. Classical orators were imitated as models of republican virtue and oratorical style. Indeed, virtually every dimension of the political life of early America bears the imprint of a classical conception of public discourse.
