Savannah Attorney
Speaks to Students
In Lumpkin School
Robert M. Hitch. Savannah at
torney, spoke to Lumpkin Law school
students Tuesday morning on “The
Law and Lawyers."
“The law protects far more than
it refrains the individual," he said,
adding that tyranny and law do not
work together, but that liberty and
law do. "The law,” Hitch continued,
“does not prohibit the honest man
from carrying concealed weapons,
because he doesn't want to carry
them anyway.”
Urging students not to look with
dread on the necessity of building a
law practice, he told them that iaw
is stable and permanent and that
Lumpkin Law school students are
entering an old and honored profes
sion.
Hitch advised the future lawyers
to stay in their offices when they get
out of school rather than hang
around soda fountains. “Keep your
office and it will keep you,” he said.
Following his talk, Hitch was hon
ored with a luncheon at the Geor
gian hotel, given by the law faculty.
Wrighton Delivers | Forestry Fraternity
Address at Augusta Adds Five Members
Dr. W. H. Wrighton, professor of
philosophy, delivered an address to
the Augusta Art club during the
Spring holidays, in which he defined
the philosophy of art as "the why
and wherefore of art” and a "search
for the enttses and esthetic values of
art.”
“The reason why a great piece of
art is so universally accepted by men
of various races,” Dr. Wrighton said,
“is that the artist has expressed
some of the few central elements in
life which men share in common."
The proper conception of art, as
expressed by Dr. Wrighton, is the
interpretation of life through per
sonality.
