LAW SCHOOL AT U. OF p.
MAY CLOSE, DUE TO WAR
Only 81 Students Now on Roll, 50
Per Cent Having Joined the
Colors

The question of closing the law school
OF the University OF Pennsylvania be-
cause the war has reduced the enroll
ment to fifty-seven students will be con-
sidered at the January meeting of the
trustees.
This statement was made by former
Attorney General John c. Bell. of the
Board of Trustees, who said that the
total student enrolment Of the Univer-
sity has shrunk from about 5000 to 1000
Reports that the trustees already had
decided to close the law school were
denied by Or. William +. Mikell, dean,
and several trustees. The normal num-
ber OF students in the school is slightly
more than 200, but 60 per cent have
gone into the nations service. Dean
Mikel said that he did not believe the
school would lose more than ten more
men.
The question of finances, which show
a deficit because OF the decrease in the
student body, will be a large factor in
the trustees decision. II the law school
is closed it will be n duplication OF
similar action during the civil war, when
30 many students were called to the
colors that the legal department was
closed
