law students Monday night.
The court will have long since
forgotten your opening, and will
have slept through your exposi
tion,” he continued in his ad

attend the academic probation
meeting which will be held on
Thursday in the dining room
of Carson Hall from 4-5 p.m.
vice to the aspiring lawyers.
In a lecture to about 90 stu
dents, faculty and townspeople,
Daube traced the development of
rhetoric back to Sicily in the Fifth
Century, B.C. Sicily had been sub
jected to autocratic rule, and
after democracy was restored a
court system was established to
help redistribute the citizens’
property rights.
“People became interested con
sciously in public speaking" for
the first time. Daube said.
From Sicily, rhetoric traveled
to southern Italy and finally to
Greece where the Sophists es
tablished it as a part of their cur
riculum, putting the rules of
rhetoric into verse. In 62 B. C.,
however, Romans were forbidden
“to teach the dubious art of rhet
oric.”
The earily rhetorical writers
advised lawyers on how they
could elicit pity from and (latter
their juries, as well as the best
ways in which to present cases.
Circumstantial evidence and mor
al elements began to be admitted
in the courts.
In conclusion, Daube said that
