LAW SHOULD
Be PRAGTICED
JURISPRUDENCE SHOULD NOT BE
PERMITTED TO DEGENERATE TO
THE STUDY OF PHILOLOGY.

NEW YORK, September 2S.-Dr.
Rudolph Leonhard, dean of the school
of law at the University of Breslau,
has delivered his opening address as
Kaiser Wilhelm's professor of German
history and Jurisprudence at Columbia
university.
Earl hall, in which the professor
spoke, was crowded with law students
and members of the faculty.
On the platform with the professor
were John Bassett Moore and President
Butler. Prof. Leanhard dwelt on the
historical development of law and en-
phasized the fact that the study of
law should not be allowed to dege-
nerate into the mere study of philology
and history, but should be made prac-
tical
In Germany, the professor said, too
much emphasis was laid on historical
facts and not enough time devoted to
strictly legal questions. The pro-
fessor said that law had been produced
only by the introduction of historical
factors. In connection with this he
said:
God forbid that German doctrinism
should make its way into America.
