The Harvard Legal Aid Bureau begins its 18th year of activity this year. At its annual fall meeting held recently, the members heard an address by Professor James Maguire of the Harvard Law School and then elected new officers and began work on pending law cases.

T. E. Dudley, president, called the meeting to order and explained to the new members that the object of the bureau is to give legal aid to members of Harvard University and to people of the community who are too poor to bite an attorney but are in need of his services. Although each of the 32 members is a student in the Harvard Law School, he also acts as a regular attorney in giving legal advice, effecting settlements and going into court when necessary.

The bureau also elected four new officers for the year, so that its official leaders now are T. E. Dudley, president; James Hodge, Jr., vice-president; Frank Heiss, treasurer; E. F. Clark, Jr., secretary; Finlay Robinson and R. E. Guggenhime, directors. Besides these, the following men have been chosen to continue their membership from last year's organization: J. L. Cordova, B. H. Siegeltuch, and H. J. Sillcocks.

The list of new members who had just been elected to the society was also released. All of these men were chosen on the basis of the grades they made in the Harvard Law School. They are as follows: third year men: L. H. Arps, J. W. K. Johnson, Milton Schilback, J. G. Conger, J. D. Wood, W. J. Brennan, E. G. Jennings, Robertson Boney, Jr.; second year men: J. de Bruyn Kops, Jr., T. McP. Davis, F. L. Dewey. H. B. Johnson, Harold Levine, S. J. Liftin, J. B. Messitte, R. E. Mumford, Louis Newman, A. I. Schmalholz. J. J. Fine, F. H. Sloss, H. B. Ely, J. D. Shoaff, and J. B. Tittmann.
