If the solititor applies for a specified deed he will receive that document without the additional papers at the appropriate fee. ADMISSION CEREMONY On Thursday, 9th June 1966, the President pre sented Certificates of Admission at a ceremony in the Society's Library. Addressing the newly ad mitted solicitors and their friends the President said : Ladies and Gentlemen, this is a most happy occasion for all of us. For those of you who are to receive certificates it represents the culmination of many years of really hard work and study, and for parents the happy conclusion of years of anxious planning and often of sacrifice. To the successful ones I offer my heartiest congratul ations, at the same time sparing a sympathetic thought for those less fortunate who have not yet made the grade. Each one of you is now embarking on a career in a most exacting profession. The highest stand ards of professional conduct are expected of you and I know you will do your utmost to live up to them. This will not always be easy but you will find that to do so will make the practice of your profession a much happier and more pleasant experience. Some of you will be joining a family business, others may contemplate taking up assistantships to gain experience. In whichever direction your activities may lie I do want to impress upon you, in those difficulties you will encounter do not hesitate to seek guidance and advice from the more senior members of the profession. Nothing teaches like experience and I feel sure that I speak for all senior members when I tell you that we will be only too glad to give what help we can, remembering when we, like you, were in need of just such help. In addition, Mr. Plunkett is always available for consultation if called upon. In conclusion, let me leave this advice with you : (1) Join the Society which exists to look after your professional interests and to help you. (2) Join your local Bar Association, which you will find invaluable in ironing our many difficulties and problems. (3) Join the Solicitors Benevolent Association, which devotes its efforts to helping those less fortunate members and their families who have fallen upon evil days.
