Henry M. Hoyt. solicitor general of the
United States. who took for his theme
THE Law and the Community" The ad
dress was direct appeal for more loyal
lawyers. The speaker referred to the ne
ceSsity for somebody to protect the rights

Establishment Of the courts of this country
to meet that need. In order that the courts
might better protect the rights of the peo-
pie they have been made independent of the
other functions of the government AS
they stand today, then, the courts are the
champions of the rights and privileges Of
