9 Manchester L. Students' Chron. 1 (1909-1910)

handle is hein.journals/mlstud9 and id is 1 raw text is: MANCHESTER Law 3fudenfs' Qbronicle. VOL. IX. OCTOBER, i9o9. No. 1. CE more October is upon us, and we find ourselves making ready for another Session. The Session that has just come to an end was not, of course, as memorable as its predecessor. We cannot centelebrate every year. Yet we are glad to note that there was nothing in the nature of a relapse about the Session 19o8-19o9. Although the average attendance was slightly lower, the average number of speakers showed a slight increase, and this latter feature is one which we heartily welcome. We have still too many members who are content to listen to the wisdom poured forth from the lips of others ; nervousness, no doubt, is often the real cause; but even the youngest among us should bear in mind that the terrors of a maiden effort are much worse in contemplation than they are in reality, and our members always encourage a new debater. One regrettable feature connected with the Society must, we feel, be noted. It is this, the slackness in the payment of subscriptions. At the time of writing we happen to know that there are a great many members who have not yet paid their subscriptions for the Session 19o8-19o9. Surely this ought not to be. We are in close proximity to the date when subscriptions for the Session 19o9-191o will be legally due. Is it too much to ask that a subscription which falls due on October Ist should be paid before the following Ist January? We venture to think not; and, lest there should be any misapprehension on the point, let us hasten to say that we our- selves are not persons of great wealth; we have no unearned increment, nor have we any dread of the super-tax. But we can generally scrape together sufficient to pay what, after all, is a very small dole in return for the benefits we derive from our membership. Perhaps the Committee are not strict enough in the exercise of their powers under Rule ii. Be that as it may, however, it is no excuse for the attitude of those who only pay when the Session for which their subscription is due is fast fading away, and when our Hon. Treasurer has worn out much of his shoe- leather and the whole of his patience, and also used up copious stores of notepaper in fruitless efforts to collect the sinews of war. We are proud of the fact that our Society is the possessor of Consols ; other societies contemplate the fact with amazement. But the fact that we hold Consols does not necessarily mean that our Hon. Treasurer has an inexhaustible bank balance. Expenses have to be met, and he must have the funds wherewith to meet them. In view of what we have said as to sub- scriptions, we fear we may be accused of e nagging if we comment on the fact that at the time of writing there are a number of members who have not yet paid for their tickets for the Dance held in December, 19o8. We are content to merely state the fact. Comment, surely, is unnecessary.
