A SCHOLAR FOR THE LAW

Students of the Law School have left Dean Pound in no uncertainty of their appreciation. In the gathering which took place yesterday at Langdell Hall they expressed more eloquently than they possibly could in a printed message how earnestly they desire him to continue the scholarly work he is doing as head of the Harvard Law School.

To undergraduates in Harvard College, ordinary events which transpire in that distant region beyond Hemenway Gymnasium rumble but faintly as echoes from Valhalla. But Dean Pound's offer from the University of Wisconsin is a trumpet blast that rings almost as loudly in the Yard as around Laugdell itself. It is no exaggeration to say that undergraduates await Dean Pound's decision almost as eagerly as the law students.

Many of those undergraduates plan to enter the Law School, and there is, in part, a selfish interest. But even to men whose interests are not in law itself, Dean Pound's work is known, and the knowledge of what he has already done is voucher for what he may yet do for the study of law at Harvard.

Undergraduates join the men of the Law School in hoping that Dean Pound will choose scholarship as his portion.
