2 Manchester L. Students' Chron. 1 (1902-1903)

handle is hein.journals/mlstud2 and id is 1 raw text is: NANCHESTEhR LAW STUDENTS' CHRONICLE. OCTOBER, 1902. No. 1. EDITORIAL. I- our March number, which was also the last nun- ber of the first volume of the Manchester Law Students' Chronicle, we wrote: The experiment has been made, and it remains to be seen whether it is considered that our existence has been sufficiently justified. by the results to ensure its continuance in coming Sessions. Our re-appearance this month, as the first number of our second volume, signifies that those instrumental in the floating of the ship are, after her first voyage, satisfied that, she is seaworthy and merits a further and more extended trial. We trust that their confidence will not be mis- placed, and that our Chronicle may lie the means, in however slight a degree, of enabling the Manchester Law Students' Society to end the Session 1902-1903 in a more satisfactory position in every way than that in which it commenced. Mlay we appeal to those members of the Society who have not yet favoured us with contributions? We feel sure that itn a Society like ours, boasting an Honoursman in nearly every Final list published, there must be some whose powers of expression are only equalled by those of repression. We would remind those members of our Society who possess a modicum of brains (and we assume that these form the majority) that although the light under the bushel must inevitably flicker and die out for lack of air if the bushel be not removed, yet when once the cover is taken off the flame will burn more brightly and steadily than before. Verb., sap. Our 'old friend Mr. Somers signalises the advent of our second volume by bursting forth into rhyne, while Criticus, in lieu of criticising, lays down the Law, which is very often, but not always, the same tghi. This month we print., iftcr alia, the body of our Committee's Report. We think that, on the whole, the Society has fully maintained the traditions of past years, though we must confess to a feeling of regret that no Manchester man has succeeded in obtaining first-class Honours at the Final during the last year. We believe that there are several strong candidates going up for the earlier exanlinations of next year when, no doubt, one of taem will restore to our Society the prestige it may have lost. NOTES. SIGNs are not wanting that the training of articled clerks is, like the housing of the working classes, attracting the attention of the powers that be. In another part of this issue we print a communication which has been received from the Secretary of the Law Students' Debating Society on the subject of Legal Education. The matter will be brought forward at the Annual General Meeting, and we hope that all our members will consider the letter with a view to making suggestions thereon. We defer from making any comments until after the matter has been before the Society. We are.glad to welcome Mr. Ridgeway back again from South Africa. So far as we are aware, he is the only ordinary member of our, Society who has been, to the front. A laynman who insisted on fighting a hopeless case, and was most indignant when'he lost, suggests that VOL. II.
