DEAN POUND FAVORS ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW DINING HALLS

"The passing of Memorial Hall as a place for students to eat was a distinct loss to the University and I should be glad to see something of the sort reestablished", declared Roscoe Pound '90, Dean of the Harvard Law School, in an interview with the CRIMSON yesterday.

"When I was a law student", he said, most of us ate at Memorial Hall, where there were tables of men studying or interested in the same subjects. There was a real advantage in eating at such a table. The discussions of our work were vigorous and incessant, and as I look back on them I am sure that they were highly profitable. I cannot think that casual eating about at cafeterias can have any compensating advantages. The passing of Memorial was a distinct loss and I should be glad to see something of the sort reestablished.

As to how far law students may be interested in the project", he continued, "I do not know. Students are very concervative and a plan of this sort might seem a departure from settled student habits,--even if only settled for a few years. But I should hope the advantages it involves might appeal to them.
