7 Manchester L. Students' Chron. 1 (1907-1908)

handle is hein.journals/mlstud7 and id is 1 raw text is: MANCHESTER Law tkudents' Qbronicle. VOL. VII. OCTOBER, 1907. No. 1. EDITORIAL. II ) ITH this number we commence the Seventh Volume of the MANCHES- TER LAw STUDENTS' CTIRONICLI, and in looking back through the last six years we cannot help feeling that our existence is more than justified by the results which have attended its progress. For besides being the official organ of our Society, this Magazine serves a far more useful purpose than that term would imply. We, who occupy the editorial chair, have always made it our object to encourage the young member to attend and speak at our debates, and to spur on to even greater efforts those who have already won, some measure of success as speakers, while we also serve as a link to bind, closer together the ordinary or more active members of' our Society with those who have retired into the more secluded ranks of honorary membership. There is' still another aim, however, which the founders of this Magazine had in view at its commencement. This aim, we need hardly remind our readers, was to foster and bring into prominence that literary talent which lies dormant in, so many of our embryo lawyers. As it has been; pointed out before in these columns, this is a. student's Magazine, written for students by students, and although we have had many good friends in the past, who, by contributing articles, reviews, and critiques, have assisted us in appearing before our readers month by month during the session, still we cannot yet think that the real literary ability of our Society has been shown. With such a large membership as we can boast of possessing, we must have in our ranks sufficient. talent to fill every month a magazine many times as large as this. May we, therefore, take this opportunity at the commencement of a new session of making another appeal to all the members of the Society to use their literary talents, and no longer to hide them under a bushel. To encourage the bashful and diffident, we may say we are quife open to accept anonymous contributions, and, if suitable, to publish them in these pages. This month we publish the Committee's Annual Report. In reviewing the past session we find much on which we can congratulate our- selves. It is with very great pleasure that we note the increase both in the average attendance and in, the average number of speakers at our meetings. This is a good sign, and we sincerely hope it may continue. Also we note a large increase, in the membership, which now reaches a total of 334. We were also able last session to boast of a Clement's Inn and Daniel Reardon Prizeman at the October and a Law Society Prizeman at the June examination. The Mock Trial proved one of the most successful of the whole series, and the great success of the dance shows that the social side of our Society is being developed in a manner -worthy of our best traditions. The past session was the ninety-n-inth in our history, so that this session we celebrate the Centenary of the Society. It is too early for us as yet to make any announcement as to the form which the celebrations shall take, seeing that, the officers for the coming session are not yet appointed, but we can say that it is intended to L
