I realize, of course, that there is a large element of symbolism in your selection of Dr. Kirkland and me to be the recipients of honorary degress, and that through him you are honoring the bar of our community, and through me the judges who man its courts. Nevertheless, both of us are proud and happy that your choice fell upon us. I am particularly proud to have been associated with Weymouth Kirkland on this occasion. His contributions to his profession are many. One of the most significant was the pioneer role that he played in the development of a new kind of court room advocacy.
