We have endeavored to picture events as they appealed to us; it may be that our vision has been at times somewhat distorted, our imagination a trifle over- VTvid, and our citations may have varied from that legal "standpatter," State Decisis; if so, we beg you to forgive our shortcomings, and to bear with us a little in our mistakes, for we have lived and labored in this work with a consciousness that we were treading the proper paths. As an "amateur board of scribes" we have endeavored to combine the humorous and serious side of our school career in a blended volume that would express good fellowship, and the regard in which we hold one another. In parting, we wish one and all the choicest gifts that Dame Fortune can, with proper wooing, bestow, and we hope in the future to meet again some day, and in pleasing retrospect gaze back over the scenes and events of a happy past.

Died March 6, 1914 Dean 1903-1914 HON. HARRY M. CLABAUGH, LL.D. When the somber mantle of evening had spread its misty folds over Mother Eailh on the evening of March 6, 1914, there also settled over the usual buoyant spirits of our student brotherhood something akin to this depressing gloom, in the sad realization that our beloved Dean had answered the summoiis of his Maker. Early m our course we learned to love and respect him, and in the closing days of our studies under him, unaware though we were, that it would be his last efforts with a Senior law class, our respect ripened into deep reverence and loyalty, and we will in future treasure among the rarest jewels of our memory his admonitions of fatherly advice, his ever-present concern for our welfare, and his well-wishes for our future; and we feel that out in the turbulent busy world every true son of Georgetown re-echoes our sentiments and shares our loss. The rise of the Law School during his incumbency as Dean, its rapid growth, its capable and learned Faculty, the handiwork of whose efforts is reflected in the resplendency of a nation-wide talented and prospering Alumni, holding varied positions of civic trust and prominence, these results pay eloquent tribute to the ceaseless efforts of the late Judge Clabaugh, In conclusion we might sum up his sterling attributes thus: "We knew him as the polished gentleman, the scholar, the true friend of the student," and, as the press of the city, speaking the combined tribute of all who knew him, described hirn, "The great and just Judge." In simply saying that we miss him we express the dictates of our hearts in volumes.
