As I first became a member of the Cranworth Law Society in 1932 and became its secretary in 1933, I can claim to know it quite well. I can recommend it as a really good society, well worth belonging to. One of the most precious things in life is that of belonging to societies of people who have some important interests in common; in this case interest in the law and an interest in Downing College, Cambridge. Such membership is a powerful aid to civilised living; and is especially to be recommended at a time like the present which seems to be so good at cultivating loneliness.
