8 Manchester L. Students' Chron. 1 (1908-1909)

handle is hein.journals/mlstud8 and id is 1 raw text is: MANCHESTER Law tudents' Qbronicle. VOL. VIII. OCTOBER, zQo8. No. 1. ITtI the advent of the month of October the Manchester Law Students' Society commences a new Session and The Manchester Law Students' Chronicle a new volume. With the kindly help and assistance of all loyal members we trust both will continue their pros- perous career. Now that the Centenary of the Society is over we can look back with every satisfaction upon the events of the last Session, the most noteworthy in our history. The membership of the Society is still on the increase, and though the average attendance and the average numlber of speakers at the meetings last Session were slightly lower than those in the Session that preceded it, yet this is a defect which can, and we hope will, be remedied in the coming Session. So much has been already written as to the Centenary Celebrations, both in this journal and elsewhere, that it seens superfluous to again mention the subject. here. It is enough to know that in every instance the result was a huge success. For this -the Society has to thank those gentlemen who, as officers of the Society, worked with such goodwill to attain the desired end. We know that the work involved was in most cases very trying ,ind arduous, and we can only say that the Society was last Sesion extremely fortunate in its choice of officers. One of the most satisfactory features of the celebrations was the fact that not one of the numerous gentlemen who so kindly guaranteed the Society against loss was called upon to pay any sum whatever towards the expenses. This fact alone speaks volumes for the care with which the arrangements were carried out. We should like also to men- tion here the success which attended the Picnic to Chester. We believe the experiment of hold- ing a picnic in the'summer has been tried before, but never, we think, has such a successful issue attended the event as on this occasion. We print this month a. letter we have received from Mr. Finklestone with reference to the con- tents of the Chronicle. We are aware that the Editors of the last volume received complaints from certain sources that the tendency of the Chronicle was too much towards what their critics called flippancy. Without, however, going deeper into the subject we would point this out to our readers: This is a Law Students' Chronicle, and not a, legal journal. It is not our ai to compete with such journals as Law Notes and the Law Times. We have sufficient modesty to say that to do so would only be to invite com- parisons, which would do our magazine no good. A Law Student cannot pose as an authority on a legal topic. After all, the contents of the Chronicle depend to a great extent upon the members themselves. We invite contributions, and publish the best we receive, whether legal or otherwise. We should be glad, however, to receive expressions of opinion frown other readers. C NOTES. The photographs of the Officers and Com- mittee for the Centenary year, which we present to our readers with this issue, are published bv kind permission of Messrs. Lafayette, the owners
