After leaving Columbia and after having clerked for Judge Lehman he served as law clerk for the New York Court of Appeals. Then, in 1944, he became associated with the New York City firm of Milbank, Tweed, Hope & Hadley where his work was primarily in litigation. In addition to his legal periodical writings in the United States and abroad, Professor Schlesinger has published a monograph on Pro- tection of Goodwill under the Ger- man Law against Unfair Competi- tion, articles on Systems of For- eign Exchange Control and numer- ous others. Working with the New York State Law Revision Commission, he wrote a study on The Notary and the Formal Contract in Civil Law. This was published in connection with the Commission's research in- to the subject of the Seal and the Enforcement of Contracts without Consideration. Married and with two children, the Professor is living in Cayuga Heights. As for the town of Ithaca, Cornell and the variable weather conditions to be found here, he has one word-Delightfull Law Association Holds Meeting The recently elected Law As- sociation officers conducted their first open meeting pf the semester in the Moot Court Room on Febru- ary 11th. The primary purpose of the meet- ing, as outlined by John Osborn, Law Association President, was to introduce the heads of the various activities sponsored by the Law As- sociation. Short speeches included statements of the plans of the news- paper and radio program by Nat Weston and Bob Myers respec- tively, a treasurer's report by Bill Donnelly, an outline of the social activities by Ed Crawford, and a general resume of executive activi- ties by Vice-President Bob Simp- son. The question of the release of grades was raised from the floor, and a committee was fgrmed to in- quire into the delay. A report on the situation by Dean Stevens was subsequently posted on the bulletin boards. In conducting the business of the Cornell Law Association, its three officers will be working with cer- tain objectives in mind. The Cornell Law Forum presents their aims here, as they have stated them: First: We should like to see the Law Association gain such promin- ence that each student will take a personal interest in its operation and pride in its successes. All of us at the Cornell Law School are vested with the safeguarding of a beautiful building and many fine traditions. This is a legacy left not only to the elected officers of the Association, but to all of us, work- ing in the spirit of a group. To this end, the officers have plaihned for a broad program of student partici- pation, both on the policy and the functionary- levels. Second: Our operations as a group must be coordinated and shaped to the wishes of the major- ity. To this end, the officers will operate in close harmony with the elected representatives of the var- ious classes, with the committee heads, and with the newly-formed Steering Committee, which has been created to formulate policy issues for student consideration. Third: We sincerely hope that we may be able to lay a foundation of student government which will serve the perpetuation of a lively, responsive, and unified Law As- sociation. Your elected officers can- not achieve this somewhat lofty aim alone. We ask assistance from every student member, by: 1) contribut- ing to committee work as his time will permit; 2) attendance at open (Continued ox page five) Briefs will be tabled and case- books closed for the evening as stu- dents and professors, peasants and Quarterly men, assemble with their dates at Willard Straight Hall for dancing between 10 p.m. and 1 a.m. to the music of Bob Lovett's band. Early Revelry For the early revelers there will be a pre-dance cocktail party at the Delta Upsilon Fraternity House commencing at 7:30 p.m. The dance, which will be semi- formal, is annually sponsored by the Cornell Law Association. It will be under the general direction of Social Chairman Ed Crawford, as- sisted by Roger Prehn. Ed Hackett, Jim Taylor, Bill Arrison and Bob Becker are handling ticket sales. One of the highlights of the eve- ning will be the presentation of the Squash cup to the tournament win- ner by Dean Stevens. Other Events Planned The dance, following on the heels of the Old Clothes Party held last month, is one of three more social events planned for this term. Tentatively scheduled for the first week in April is a Faculty- Student Smoker, with an all-school cnic slated for the first week in may. The smoker will follow the same lines as the one held last year. It will be open to dates. A comedy skit will be presented by Al Good- man and there will be dancing in the lounge. Picnic plans are still being for- mulated. The site of the party will probably be Taughannock Park. Crawford and Prehn are in general charge of both affairs. Tipping Awarded $100 Carey Prize The $100 W. D. P. Carey award for the best grades in the February comprehensive examinations went to Kenneth W. Tipping, former business manager of the Cornell Law Quarterly. Tipping procured a position with Milbank,Tweed, Hope & Hadley in New York City immediately upon being graduated. Past winners include Richard J. Donovan, June '48, who is pre- sently employed by the Securi- ties and Exchange Commission in Washington, D.C.; John J. Horey, February '48, who now works for Shultz & Shultz in Home,. New York; and Lawrence S. Lagarenne, June '47, who is currently located with Hinman, Howard & Kattell, in Binghamton, New York. The award was established by W. D. P. Carey the year he received his L.L.B. degree from the Cornell Law School, 1926. Mr. Carey has long been associated with Martin- dell, Carey, Brown & Brabets, of Hutchinson, Kansas.
