6 Manchester L. Students' Chron. 1 (1906-1907)

handle is hein.journals/mlstud6 and id is 1 raw text is: MANCHESTER LaW ctudents' Qbronicle. VOL. VI. OCTOBER, 19o6. No. 1. EDITORIAL S we take our seat in the Editorial chair at this the commencement of a new session, and, looking back along a lane of memories, recall to mind the sessions which are past and gone, we cannot fai! to be struck with the good fortune which has ever been the Society's in its choice of officers. No matter whether the member appointed to one or other of the various positions, which each October have to be filled, has not previously been over-prominent in the Society's eye; no matter whether he has or has not given promise of pre-eminence in debate; no matter whether his capacity for-organisation is to a certain extent an unknown quantity, he invari- ably responds to the demands made upon him and invariably does his best to make the particular session in which he is in office a success- ful and a satisfactory one. Remembering these things, we commence a new volume of the Manchester Law Students' Magazine with the liveliest anticipation that its future numbers will have to chronicle the progress of a session 'which will not fail to emulate its pre- decessors. Each October, since it was embarked upon the sea of literature, the Magazine has had to record the success of the session which has terminated its course immediately prior to its publication. The session that is past has been as gratifying as its fellows. True, there has been a trifling decrease in the attend- ance at meetings, but this has been adequately compensated for by a more than countervailing increase in the average number of speakers and in the strength of membership. True, the dinner and the whist drive did not induce so many to join in their revelry as the functions of the previous year; but then there was the dance! Many have been the discussions as to the feasibility of a dance, and many the attempts to give the project concrete form. But it is the session that is just past that has seen these discus- sions result in something more than airy nothing -has seen the fruition of the seed which has taken so long to germinate. It has been urged as a defect of the Society's organisation that it has not hitherto sufficiently adapted itself to the social side of its members' requirements. This defect can hardly be argued again. We, for our part, desire to see a continuation of the Society's dance and the Society's whist drive, and hope to see the introduction of further social events, the value of which cannot be over-estimated, into the Society's programme. It will be observed that this issue of the Maga- zine is more or less a publication of reports. This, of course, cannot be helped. It is with the feeling that they might possibly begin to pall that we have dared to shorten the reports of the eighth and ninth ordinary meetings by leaving out details of individual members' speeches. If this should cause some heartburnings, we now apologise, and hasten to assure members and future members that the coming meetings of the session will be dealt with in the customary and well-established manner. We conclude our Editorial remarks by urging ordinary members to be regular in their attend- ance at debates, and to lose no opportunity of getting on their feet. The training which one obtains in the debates, we can say from experi- ence, is of the utmost value in future professional
