handle is hein.journals/fjbfgj30 and id is 1 raw text is: The Federal Juror PUBLISHED BY THE FEDERAL GRAND JURY ASSOCIATION FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ANNUAL MEETING Routine Business Report of President A Brief Biography 101 Park Avenue Vol. XXX, No. 1 - Telephone: LExington 2-8963 - New York 17, N. Y. April, 1959 The Honorable Frederick van Pelt Bryan, judge of the United States District Court, honored the Federal Grand Jury Association for the Southern District of New York by deliver- ing the principal address at the organization's 31st Annual Meeting held at The Warwick. Drawing a highly revealing picture of the Federal courts at work, and describing, in partic- ular, his own Court in action, Judge Bryan aroused unusual interest in his subject and en- thusiasm for his recommendations. Immediately preceding Judge Bryan's address a brief meeting of the members of the Association was held. The Association's President, Mr. John E. Barrett, presided and business matters were disposed of with dispatch. Usual reports were rendered and the annual elec- tion was held. The election was one to fill the places of members of the Association's Board of Directors whose terms were about to expire. This year three candidates recommended by the Nominating Committee were re-elected, for terms expiring in 1961, as follows: Bernhard K. Schaefer Harold S. Sutton Arthur Tinker The report of the Treasurer consisted of a detailed financial statement prepared by the As- sociation's certified accountants. In offering his report the Treasurer, Mr. Victor A. Lambert, noted that, in the face of rising costs, the Association had almost met expenses. The report was accepted as rendered. In submitting his report as President, Mr. Barrett stated that his account was that of a stable organization. He referred to the formation of the Association in 1927 under the guid- ance of the Association's guest, the Honorable Charles H. Tuttle. Touching upon the pur- poses for which its first members banded together, he then surveyed the work of the Association since its inception. Mr. Barrett reduced the Association's reason for being to the one word duty, meaning duty to the community. He described Federal grand jurors as persons with a civic know-how, and urged his fellow jurors to employ that special knowledge in efforts to protect the many privileges they now enjoy as members of a democratic society. The President then introduced to the audience the speaker of the evening, Judge Fred- erick van Pelt Bryan. In presenting Judge Bryan Mr. Barrett reviewed the facts of the Judge's career prior to his appointment to the Federal bench in 1956. Immediately following his admission to the bar in 1929, said Mr. Barrett, Judge Bryan spent thirteen years at work on litigated matters. At first he engaged in private practice. Later he was employed as an attorney in the office of the New York City Corporation Counsel. During four of the latter years Judge Bryan was First Assistant Corporation Counsel and, as such, supervised the myriad activities of the City's legal office. Next followed almost four years in the service of the United States Air Force. From this service Judge Bryan was discharged with the rank of Colonel and wearing awards from three governments, those of the United States, France and Great Britain. Returning to private prac- tice he engaged in trial work principally for ten years, until his appointment to the District Court. To a court whose business is almost unlimited in scope, said Mr. Barrett, Judge Bryan's varied experiences as a legal practitioner are proving of incalculable value.
