On Monday the Legal Aid Bureau closes its sixteenth consecutive year of service to members of the University and to a large number of Cambridge citizens who make use of it. The organization is now in the hands of its new officers, who were elected at a recent meeting: they are L. A. Blue 2L, president; C. T. Lane 2L, vice-president; E. A. Kniffin 2L, secretary; and J. E. Riely 2L, treasurer. These men will resume their work in the fall, and will continue in control till next April, when the organization again closes to allow the students to prepare for their final examinations.
This year over 200 cases have been handled, ranging through a variety of types. One time it was a matter of a student's check being raised by a New York speakeasy; again it was a tenant fighting with his landlord over ill-heated rooms; and still a third time, it was a question of a $5,000 suit which was finally settled, under the Bureau's management, for $50.
