A NOTABLE TRIBUTE TO
HARVARD LAW SCHOOL

The prosperity and the greatness of
the law school are almost visible.
Its library constitutes the most per-
feet collection of legal records of the
English-speaking people. We possess
nothing like it in England.
Neither in London nor in Oxford.
neither at the privy council nor at the
colonial Office can one find a complete
collection of American, or even of our
colonial reports.
The Harvard liz airy meets the wants
both of trained lawyers and of stu
dents.
But il is in it's students and it's pro-
fessors, in its crowded lecture rooms
and admirable teaching, that lies the
true glory of Harvard. The professors
of Harvard have finally dispelled the
1nveterate delusion that law is a han
dicraft to be practiced by rule of
thumb, and learned only by apprentice
ship in offices; they have convinced the
leaders of the bar that the common
law of England is a science which can
be so explained by men who have mas
tered its principles as to be thoroughly
understood by students whose aim is
success in the practice of the law.
Any man who has mastered the
principles in the large departments of
law at Harvard undoubtedly begins his
professional life with an amount of
knowledge rarely possessed by an able
bafrister on his call to the bar, and
never, as rule acquired by any young
Engllshman when he begins to read in
chambers
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-12-03

Work on the addition which is to be
built on the north side of the Harvard
Law school will be begun next spring
or early in the summer The building
expenses will be paid from the surplus
earnings of the law school. Although
the full details of arrangement have
not yet been made, it has been decided
that the size of the addition will be
about the same as that of the present
building. 1t will be ready for occupancy
by September 1901.
More than 5000 volumes have been
added to the law library this year.
Most of them were bought with liberal
funds, although a few came from pri-
vate sources, The number of volumes
now in the library is about 81 600
The increase in registration this fall
is very marked, each of the three
classes being larger than in any previ-
Gus year. Of the third-year class 21
per cent did not return as against go,
2S &c, 80, "a and A per cent, respective
ly, in six preceding years. The second
year men failing to return make only
II per cent of the whole class, as
against rs, Z, %, rs, "a and 27 per cent
in former years.
Prof. A, V Dicey of Oxford, in the
Contemporary Review says of the
Harvard Law school:
1t will be admitted by every com
petent judge that nowhere throughout
America is law taught so thoroughly
as at the university of Harvard.
