Clegg. * Ex-officio members of Committee. Vol. XVII. No. 1. NOVEMBER, 1924. EDITORIAL. TWELVE months ago, when the financial resources of the Society were anything but encouraging, the Machester Law Students' Chronicle was in grave danger of extinction. Fortunately, that danger was averted, and it was decided that a small monthly paper should be substituted temporarily for the more elaborate publication of former years If the general consensus . of opinion be adopted, the experiment was justified. To-day the position is changed. Under the magic influence of a thought- ful Treasurer, and the strenuous efforts of a Committee of which the Society may well be proud, the financial posi- tion of the Society has improved con- siderably. The time, however, has not yet come when we can be lavish in our expenditure. If progress is tb be ensured we must move slowly and cautiously. A magazine of some sort is admittedly an absolute .necessity. But it must not be allowed to develop into a luxury. For one more session at least, therefore, the Chronicle must continue in its present form. There is one point, however, which calls for serious attention. The duty of the Editors should be to collect and co-ordinate material, to reject what is unsuitable, and to see the rest safely through the Press. Yet our experience of last session seems to indicate that they are expected to rely solely on the officers of the Society for reports of the various activities, and then to produce a complete magazine without the aid of any literary contributions at all. This is hardly satisfactory. It should not be necessary for the Editors to have to appeal continually for contributions, and it is hoped that the new session will mark a change in this respect. .It is desirable that the attention of our members should be drawn, through the medium of the editorial columns, to a difficulty in administration which is troubling the Committee. There are many honorary members who are both willing and anxious to keep in touch with the Society, who are very lax in the matter of paying their subscrip- tions. We appeal to such members to give their support, and to see that the Treasurer and those working with him are not continually having to worry about ways and means. In conclusion, we ask our members not to forget the social side of the Society's welfare. Particulars as to the hot-pot supper and the annual dance will be found in the following pages.
