Irving Dilliard Settles Down in Frankfurter's Home to Study

Irving Dilliard, latest Nieman fellow to come to Harvard, considers his opportunity "a fine chance to come back to a grand place and learn more." Dilliard was a graduate student at Harvard in 1929 after being graduated from the University of Illinois.

Dilliard was born in Illinois in 1905 and in the past few years he has served on the editorial staff of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He has devoted himself mainly to the study and analysis of problems dealing with Supreme Court decisions and controversies. He has also written about administrative law and labor law.

The latest of "Aunt Agnes'" proteges believes that his fellowship is probably "the tops." I remember when I used to look at the bulletin boards and wish that I could win a $300 scholarship. A scholarship like this which permits one to leave one's work is a great blessing," commented the scribe.

Dilliard has settled down in Associate Justice Frankfurter's former home in Cambridge, which he hopes will add inspiration to his studies of law at Harvard. The present occupant of the famous jurist's home reports that, "Frankfurter's home is a fine place to live in."

Dilliard is still looking around before he definitely decides what courses he is going to take, but he will concentrate on administrative and labor law.
