...indeed, seem that, according to this, a man might hold a court for seven years while he goes through College and the Law School; and that, since the number of courts is limited, some men would be unable to get any court at all, or, at any rate, have to put up with an exceedingly poor one. This does at first appear a little hard on new-comers, but it would be little different from the system pursued in the matter of College rooms. And in fact, does it not seem that when a student who has occupied a room...

In the words of an esteemed contemporary: "Just think of this a moment; push it to the ultimate, and I think you will have no difficulty in seeing it."

...taken, as well as on its selection of officers and rules. The organization of a new society, and especially of one in a new field, and one, too, which requires a large, active membership to become even a passable success, must always be attended with difficulties. These seem to have been happily overcome in the formation of the Harvard Legislature, the only question being whether the demand for such a body equals the supply, and whether the interest thus far manifested will hold out. A final judgment of this society cannot, of course, be given until a few regular meetings...
