In the Graduate Schools

An explanation of the recent division of first year law students into two sections was made yesterday by Dean Roscoe Pound L'90, Dean of the Faculty of Law.

The division was announced in the Law School catalogue for 1925-26, recently published. Under the new plan, the two sections will carry the same courses, but with different professors.

As explained by Dean Pound, the change was made through lack of suitable facilities to deal with the increasing numbers of students.

"Under the present system," he declared, "no section can be adequately handled in which there are more than 180 men. This is not because of the difficulty in instructing a larger number of men. It is simply because of the lack of classrooms capable of holding the classes, which grow larger every year.

"We have tried to keep the change from affecting first year men injuriously by dividing professors as equally as possible between the two sections.

"The new sections," declared Dean Pound," are purely a matter of mathematics. If classes become still larger, we shall be compelled to make three or even four sections."
