Contrary to implication in the CRIMSON'S story on the Seven-Year Law Plan last Thursday, no official ruling has yet been announced guaranteeing participants in the program an A.B. degree in case the draft prevents them from continuing their work.
As originally planned, students in the program study a combined liberal arts and law curriculum for seven years and receive both A.B. and L.L.B. degrees at the end of that period. The Administrative Board has been authorized to grant A.B. degrees at the end of four years in exceptional cases.
Inaccurately paraphrased in last Thursday's story, Dean Landis's statement on his own unofficial interpretation of the rule follows: "I should assume that the Administrative Board of the University would award an A.B. degree to men drafted after four years of study and who thereafter for some justifiable reason do not return to the University to complete their course."
