Law School To Continue

Wartime Enrollment Has Dropped to 165

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Although the exigencies of war have greatly decreased its enrollment, "the Law School will not close," stated Edmund M. Morgan, acting dean serving in place of Dean Landis.

He denied rumors that the school would not continue after completion of the summer term which began on June 22, 1942, and stated that a fall term will open on September 21, 1942, and a spring term will commence on February 1, 1943. He pointed out that "It now has the largest attendance of any of the five leading Eastern law schools."

Ancient Tradition

"It has been running for a century and a quarter," said Morgan. "It has gone through other wars, and it will go through this war. It will continue to function so long as Harvard University continues."

The Law School is one of the hardest hit of the graduate schools because the nature of the preparation which it gives does not train men for winning wars.

According to the dean, however, 165 law students are enrolled at the present time. He also said that the Harvard Law Review would continue publication.
