11 Manchester L. Students' Chron. 1 (1911-1912)

handle is hein.journals/mlstud11 and id is 1 raw text is: MANCHESTER Law 8fudenfs' Cbronicle. VOL. XI. OCTOBER, 1911. No. 1. IT is with a heavy heart that we take up the Editorial pen for the last time. The Editorship [of this Magazine has, and wisely so, generally been kept anonymous, but we feel that for once the veil ought to be lifted. We refer to the death on the 6th of April last of Mr. Norman Elliott, who was the joint Editor of the Chronicle, and we, his colleague, cannot pass on without paying our humble tribute to his sterling qualities: unfailing courtesy and amiability, indomitable perseverance and energy, and marked intellectual power. Never was an association more harmonious, never a relationship more cordial; and to our share in the general loss at the Society being deprived of a very promising member at so early an age is added a real personal loss. He worked indefatigably in promoting the welfare of the Chronicle, contributing several brilliant articles to its pages, in addition to doing the lion's share of the general routine work. Our deepest sympathy is extended to his family, and particularly to his father, who is an honorary member of our Society, for we know how proud he was of his son, and how much he had looked forward to his son joining him in practice. The funeral took place at Bowdon, and the Society was represented there by three delegates. The Society also sent a wreath. Just as we are going to press we hear of another great loss the Society has sustained in the death of Mr. A. Somers. To no man is the Society under a deeper debt of gratitude than to Mr. Somers for labours of love performed in the Society's interests. His wit was proverbial; his kindliness and sympathy a byword; his example will long inspire us. Another Session is now upon us, and we must appeal to our readers to use their most strenuous endeavours to make it'a success. Particularly do we feel this appeal to be neces- sary as we think we see certain signs of apathy and indifference amongst the members of the Society. Last Session was not all it might have been ; there was a loss, as usual, on the Dinner, but what is most noticeable is that there was an adverse balance on the Dance, which has hitherto been a uniform success. We have always laid stress in these columns on the im- portance of social functions, but the members have not even the excuse that they have con- centrated their efforts on the serious side of the Society's life, for not one single Law Not-s Debating Prize was won during the whole Session. Really the Society must waken up- Verbum sab. Before making our final bow, we should like sincerely to thank our contributors for their generous support in filling the pages of the Chronicle, and our readers for the kind indulgence we have invariably received at their hands.
