Its existence was indicative of a lacuna, one which academics would not fill. It took a group of law students, balancing their studies and other commitments, to organise such a publication.

At the same time, we wish the new Doctors of Laws every success in the noble career chosen by them. It is true that every beginning is difficult but we are sure that the several Court appointments distributed among the new lawyers will help them to shake off that feeling of doubt and uncertainty which marks every beginning.

The life of Judge Luigi Ganado shows that success in a vocation is achieved through force of will and undeterred effort. Fame and honour in his profession did not come to him by any accident of birth or fortune but rather because he possessed the precious attributes of sagacity, diligence and clearness of vision. Through zeal and constant observation he acquired a deep knowledge of amankind; he knew, loved and understood humanity : indeed, he was devoted to the welfare of one and all. His work at the Bar and on the Bench is in full accord with Cardinal Newman's precept that "we are not born for ourselves but for our kind, for our neighbours, for our country ; it is but selfishness, indolence, a perverse fastidiousness, an unmanliness and no virtue or praise to bury our talent in a napkin."

This presumption, which, in the words of Taylor, rests on ''the right which every man has to his character, the value of that character to himself and to his family, and the evil consequences that would result to society if charges of guilt were lightly entertained or readily established in courts of justice" protects the accused throughout the whale course of criminal proceedings,- from the very moment of arrest up to the moment of conviction or acquittal.
