Editorial. 4
FTER a period of inactivity we are
again prevailed upon to take up the
editorial pen for the purpose of
introducing another volume of the
CHRONICLE to the members and friends of the
Manchester Law Students' Society.
As we glance over the proof of this the first
publication of the fifth volume, we are reminded
that some explanation is necessary respecting the
various alterations apparent to a regular reader
of this paper.
In the first place, we have thought fit to change
the colour and design of the cover, in an endeavour
to- make the CHRONICLE more attractive in appear-
ance. Further, we have decided to increase the
number of pages of reading matter, in the hope
of receiving renewed and greater support from the
members.of the Society. We confess to feeling a
certain amount of diffidence when deciding on
such a course, but, on the other hand, the
justification is found in our steady increasing
membership.
May we again impress upon the members that
this periodical is essentially a students' magazine,
-written for students by students, and we do not
profess or aspire to any great literary genius.
Moreover, we wish it to be distinctly understood
by all students that it is to their own interests
this magazine should be supported by frequent
articles from their pens. We know the proverbial
shyness of the student in writing articles for the
Press-we ourselves have experienced it often-
but as we do not require every article sent in to

be accompanied by the name and address of the
writer, no excuse can be pleaded on that score.
With this number we present two photographs
of the Mock Trial groups, which we hope will be
of interest. We regret, however, that the groups
do not include all those who took part in the
entertainment, which was, on all sides, acknow-
ledged to have been the most successful up to
the present time.
As a preliminary announcement, we hope next
month to present to our readers a portrait of a
well-known member of the Society, with a short
account of his life.
This month we print the Committee's report for
the past session, in which we note with pleasure
the fact that the average attendance at the debates
has increased. There is, however, still considerable
room for improvement in this respect, for with a
membership of 300 we surely ought to be able to
muster a larger attendance than the average of 27.
Committee's       IReport for        reesion
10045.
GENTLEMEN,-Your Committee have pleasure in
presenting  to you  their 97th Annual Report,
being for the Session 1904-5. The Session has
been a successful one. At the termination of the
last Session the membership of the Society was
288. This number at the commencement of the
Session with which this report deals had been
reduced by death and resignation to 267. During
the Session there has been an increase of one
Life, four Honorary, and 28 Ordinary members,
making the present strength    of the   Society
exactly 300.
