LEGAL AID

With the publication of the annual report of the Law School's Legal Aid Bureau, the student is once more reminded that not all things of good report at Harvard come from the lecture room or the tutorial conference. For the Bureau represents one of the most successful attempts that have been made to bring the student into contact with the real world beyond these cloistered walls.

The further fact that the work of the Bureau enables some of the Law School students to gain at first hand a glimpse of the stuff of which the thousands of cases read each year are made may also relieve the School of some of its notoriously deadening monotony.

And, finally, the fact that this year the Legal Aid Bureau has served more than 835 persons without charge--the largest number in its history--is high testimony in itself to the quality of the Bureau's work.
