Law Dinner

The Law Faculty Club may be well complimented on the occasion of its fifth annual dinner held on Tuesday, 21st March in that evergreen rendezvous so well known to University students—the Empire Hotel.

The club was singularly fortunate in its guests, for in addition to a majority of its vice-presidents, and prominent members of the profession, we were honoured by the attendance of His Honour Sir Hubert Ostler and Hon. H. G. R. Mason, Attorney-General. Denied the privilege subsisting until the latter part of last century, of consuming a statutory number of dinners in order to qualify for admission to their profession by the substitution therefor of examinations, those present proceeded, like the stag at eve, to "drink, or rather cat. their fill." and in some measure upheld the traditions of their predecessors in proving, as Mr. Treadwell made known in proposing the toast of "The Profession." that an eminent member of the profession in England once informed his clerk that he required not brains but stomach in order to gain admission to the profession.
