Sigma Delta Chi Award In 1948 he received the Sigma Delta Chi distinguished service award for his editorials on public Changes Rulings tion of right and wrong, he ex plained. Psychiatry, on the other hand, concerns itself with the "inner state" of a person Bok continued. Psychiatrists deal with the diagnos of mental imbalance, Bok said, and make recommendations to the court as to the proper sentencing of the accused in order to cure his mental ilh. "Law and psychiatry will eventu ally get into the same bed," Judge Bok said, "but tbe fusion of the two professions wuld be impolitic in the near future." The two "professions must be married in such a way, he said, that the "retention of the essential purposes" of each is assured. "The law can't help but change, he continued. He pointed out that the "jury is slowly but inexhorably withering away." But, he sent on, we had "better be patient to let it wither." Otherwise, he said, there would be major rioting in the streets. He assured the audience of 150, how ever, that only a major revolution, Russian-style, could quickly do away with the jury system. Legal procedure is slow and la borious, Bok commented, and he feels that this is quaint. "Quaint ness links us beneficially with the past," he pointed out.
