ADMISSION CEREMONY
On 13th June, 1968, the President presented
Certificates to newly qualified solicitors. Address
ing the newly admitted solicitors and their friends
the President said.
Ladies and Gentlemen, this
is a very happy
occasion for all of us, me, as much as any of you.
It would be impossible not to be affected by the
atmosphere of pride and joy and relief of which
this room is full and probably the dominant emo
tion of relief. You, Ladies and Gentlemen to whom
I have given your parchments are naturally happy
to be at the end of a" long and arduous period of
study, often filled with fear, heartbreak and frus
tration and of course the parents and relatives are
proud and happy and relieved because they are
relieved of the anxiety of watching the student
moving from one exam to another with the long
anxious waits of the publication of results. That
is all behind now and the coveted parchment can
be framed, placed on the wall and gazed upon
with justifiable pride and joy. I wish all you new
solicitors all the happiness and success you could
wish for in the practice of your chosen profession.
I hope you will not think me pompous or pre-
sumptious if I offer a few observations which may
be helpful to you in achieving that end. First of
all, you must keep firmly before your mind that
what you have acquired is a profession and not a
trade. The purpose of trading is to make money,
