New Lawyers Will Be Sworn In August 10 YOUNG LAWYERS CONFERENCE CREATED AT ANNUAL MEETING. On Thursday, May 25, the Constitution and Bylaws of the South Carolina Bar Association were amended to create a Young Lawyers Conference of the Association. Membership in the Conference is limited to members of the Association, not over thirty-six years cf age. There are approximately 250 members of the Cooiterence. The purpose of the Conference is to stimulate the interest of young lawyers in the objects of the Association, to carry on activities which will be of assistance to young lawyers, and to make reports and recommendations to the Executive Committee of the Association. An organizational meeting was held on May 26, at which time bylaws were adopted and officers and Conference Ex- ecutive Committee members were elected. At the organiza- tional meeting a resolution was unanimously adopted au- thorizing the Conference to affiliate with the Junior Bar Conference of the American Bar Association. Officers of the Conference are: Glen E. Craig of Columbia, Chairman; J. Kenneth Rentiers of Charleston, Vice-Chairman; and James C. McLeod, Jr., of Florence, Secretary-Treasurer. Members of the Conference Executive Committee are: Wim. H. Vaughan, Jr., of Charleston, James C. Cordell of Colum- bia, Jack F. McIntosh of Anderson, C. Victor Pyle, Jr., of Greenville, Virginia A. Gaston of Chester, and Thomas E. Rogers, Jr., of Florence. Wm. H. Gibbes of Columbia serves as the Member of the Conference on the Executive Com- mittee of the Association. Conference activities, which have already been planned, are as follows: 1. Luncheon following admission ceremonies: A luncheon will be held in Columbia following the next admission of lawyers to practice before the courts of this state. This luncheon is being planned by the Conference and will be sponsored jointly by the South Carolina and American Bar Associations. The purpose of this hnch- eon will be to welcome these lawyers to the profession, and to encourage them to participate in organized Bar activities at the county, state and national level. 2. Elliott Memorial: A committee, with Louis Howell of Spartanburg as Chairmm.n, is being formed for the pur- pose of establishing a memorial in memory of Profes- sor W. T. Elliott. Mr. Talley, as he was affectionately known by tile Law students, served as a Law Professor at the Law School from 19:32 to 1960. In view of Mr. Talley's service to the Law School, it is believed ap- propriate that his memorial be evidenced by contri- butions being made in his name to the South Carolina Law School Endowment.

SCBA .... STUKES PORTRAIT TO BE UNVEILED AT FALL MEETING OF SUPREME COURT Judges and !-',yers from throughout the State have made contributions towards the painting of a posthumous portrait of Chief Justice Taylor H. Stukes, of Manning. The portrait is being painted by Albert Murray, an artist of international reputation, and will be unveiled in the fall on a dav which will be set aside for this purpose by Chief Justice Claude A. Taylor. Memorial exercises honoring the late Chief Justice will be held at the same time. While many lawyers and firms have already contributed, those who have not made contributions and desire to do so should send the same to Stukes Memorial Committee, 1225 Washington Street, Columbia. Booklets containing the names of the donors will be presented to Mrs. Stukes and to the Court. Mr. Murray painted the posthumous portrait of Chief Judge John J.

He is working from a number of excellent photo- graphs of the late Chief Justice loaned for the purpose by Mrs. Stukes.
