So shaped the stage with players all Speaking a glorious part, That the mightiest ego doth seem small On Life's fantastic chart. Then Destiny with talon hands And robed in garments gray, Traces our image upon the sands That Time soon sweeps away. When poised upon the crest of time, O, Temple, may thy light Mark the true and the sublime, As stars within the night; May the garlands of yesterday Entwined with thy story, Recall the teacher of our play The inspirer of our glory. *&§{ n* Temple University LCO/M ttRxxrc Editor* ^ f>**• • •::.. *w ww- a jp ^gpt Q PC o p I ^<aaa»*. y?2w<u; ^^ -<srs*>i TO OUR ESTEEMED FRIEND, TEACHER AND DEAN, THE TWENTY-SIXTH ANNUAL GRADUATING CLASS of temple Untoersitp respectfully and with a deep sense of gratitude, dedicates this "Docket"— the first literary endeavor of its kind in the history of the Law School ^3&J<§^" =f "*| Class of 1926: OU are leaving the University in which you have spent four years in preparation for your life calling. Justice Y Oliver Wendell Holmes, a very wise old judge, has re­ marked that "a university is a place from which men start for the Eternal City." He has also said that "every calling is great when greatly pursued." During the years spent in the university you have gained some knowledge of the law, but not sufficient to be a life-long equipment. Because you are leaving this law school you are not to assume that you have learned all the law. The longer one lives the more he finds to learn, and a life well spent will include a large amount of study. Two things you will need in order to be even a moderate success in your calling. The one is industry, the other, hon­ esty. Industry is important. A lazy man is rarely a success, however brilliant he may be, while a man who is industrious may achieve fair success even though not so well gifted as his more brilliant but less industrious rival. The most impor­ tant part, however, of your equipment will be honesty which includes honesty in thought, in word and act. Honesty in thought is essential to honesty in word or act, for as one thinks, so he generally speaks and acts. To industry and honesty you should daily add a cheerful and a pleasant smile for those whom you meet. Do not con­ sider that your calling is small or mean or merely a means of making money. Do not try to charge your clients all their business will bear. Ask for your service only what your ser­ vice is honestly worth. Keep ever in mind that the Law is a great profession to be greatly pursued and that greatness excludes petty or "shyster" methods of practice. Remember that you will have entrusted to you to be kept spotless the traditions of nearly a thousand years of the legal profession, and that it is in your power for your day at least to mar or keep them uninjured if not increased in glory.

Many difficulties and obstacles have been encountered and overcome, and we cannot help but feel a glow of satisfaction at the thought that for the first time in the history of the Law School—a period of more than thirty years—it fell to the 1926 Class to essay the publication of an individual record book. Because of the gap of years that has intervened since the first class was graduated in 1.901, it has been attempted to incorporate within the pages of this "DOCKET" matters of interest relating to the alumni of even the very earliest years of the School. To furnish a comprehensive and proper background, a biography of our beloved Founder has been written; a history of the Law School has been prepared; and a list compiled of the names of those among our graduates who have be­ stowed honor and fame upon their Alma Mater by the assumption of positions of public trust, importance and respect throughout the coun­ try. A photograph of the present faculty of the Law School, the first group faculty picture since the Law School's inception, and posed especially for "THE DOCKET," will be found, together with photographs of those of our instructors who, since teaching us, have withdrawn from the faculty. Further to insure the completeness of our archives, invitations to participate were extended to those of our number who labored with us through the earlier years, but who, because of the engrossments of active law practice or for other reasons, found it necessary to take their farewell prior to graduation. Nor has fitting commemorative remembrance been overlooked of those two classmates of ours whom the Almighty, in His own wisdom, called to Himself. Perusal of the publication will disclose our other efforts to insure the greatest possible value of "THE DOCKET," SO that further detailed mention will serve no useful purpose. Suffice it to say that the most careful scrutiny that time and circumstance permitted has been exer­ cised with this sole purpose and hope in mind: that "THE DOCKET" may serve as a permanent and accurate reminder of the happy and fruitful years spent at the Law School, and that it may be a constant source, not alone of interest, and, it is hoped, entertainment, but as well of assistance and inspiration. That each possessor may reflect credit and honor upon himself, upon the legal profession, upon his Alma Mater and upon this, the Sesqui-Centennial Class, is the sincere wish of THE EDITOR. &}&&" 8 &(fe£2>- ^s&raaresKseiWiK^Ws^rS^*--.-- LEON H.

The Law School has had such a long and splendid record that in speaking of the work of Temple University I am compelled to sing its praises. Its future is particularly bright. The forward step which we are now planning for all depart- ments of the University includes new quarters and new facilities for the Law School; and surely the largest Law School in the state with such a splendid record and gratifying reputation is de­ serving of equipment commensurate with the work that is being accomplished. In making this new Law School building a reality, we are count­ ing on the loyal support of our Law Alumni. We want you to (italk Temple," that its fair name and fine achievements may be known. We want you to help as givers and workers, that your loyalty may be demonstrated. You who are this year leaving this institution may rest assured that the reputation of your Alma Mater will be preserved and improved with the coming years. But see to it that you also guard with jealousy your own reputation. Perhaps no profession tests a man's character so frequently as the law. To gain a temporary advantage, do not be trapped into a doubtful expedient. Hold to the unimpeachable line of rectitude and success will reward you. Wishing you God speed and happiness, as well as success in your profession, Very sincerely yours, CHAS. E. BEURY.

CONWELL was born on February 15, 1843, among the hills of Western Massachusetts, where every prospect R>- pleases, but where money was so scarce that he had to earn all that he needed for an education beyond that he got in the little red school house about a mile from his home. He taught music, waited on table, did all sorts of things to carry himself through Wilbraham Academy and Yale University. The Civil War interrupted his college course, he volunteering in the beginning and serving to the end. His New England friends will always know him as Colonel Conwell.
