ing on a larger and more 'thorough
work1 In this field than ever before,
and all this besides being" editor-in-chief
of the '08 Cornhuskor, and doing
his full share of the work on the Uni
versity debating squad.
He ,1s also a member of the Phi
Kappa Psl and Phi Alpha Tau fra
ternities, and the Innocents society.

I Later he was for two years mem-

Students of Law. Department Listen
to Judge Tibbets.
Judge A. S. Tibbets, of-the Lincoln
bar, gave the first of a Beries of lec
tures on "Legal Ethics" to bo deliv
ered by him to tho Law department
last evening.
Ho spoke of the law profession as
being one of tho noblest of all voca
tions. Quoting from the different codes of
legal ethics and from tho different
state statutes tho oaths required of
the candidates for admission to tho
bar, he showed what AvaS and is ex
pected of the lawyers.
Speaking of tho relation of the law
yer to the public, tho client, tho
brother lawyer and the judiciary, the
Judge said that the dignity of the pro
fession Is and must, bo maintained by
the dignity of the lawyer himself,-that
there 1b no profession of which the
1 world asks so much or which the
world has and does so undeservedly
criticize, or to which so many and so
great confidences are given as to that
of the law.
That the lawyer was In duty bound
to the public, to his client, to his
brother lawyer and to tho judiciary
to do all in his power t to prevent the
admission to tho bar or the practice
of law by a shyster or one who was
without moral principle.
That the public iooks upon the law
yer as one who should bo more or less
Interested in politics andU3blic af
fairs, and that as a consequence he
was a great material jactor in the
shaping of our state and national leg
islation. That It was considered unprofes
sional to advertise in any paper or
periodical, or in any other way, the
merits and ability of oneself as a law
yer, but that they should be left to the
public to decide for Itself.
