On commencement day at one of
the colleges, when the graduates in
law went forward to receive their di-
plomas, with the authority and

her next neighbor she said, Doesn't
it make you tremble when you think
that the ma jesty of the law is to be

A certain Lawrence woman who
sits on the steps of Snow Hall every
commencement day at K. L. to watch
