No celebration will be held this year to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of the Law School, as was originally planned. Elaborate exercises were to have been held at the University June 19 and 20, but developments arising since the plans were first made have caused an indefinite postponement. The statement in regard to the sudden cancelling of the arrangements which has been made and sent out to all alumni of that school is given in part:

"Since the plans for the organization of the centennial anniversary on June 19th and 20th were announced, further developments have made it necessary to postpone the celebration of the anniversary indefinitely. The pamphlet containing the advance sheets of the new history of the school will be mailed to every graduate within a few days. The committee hopes that the circulation of this pamphlet may to some extent take the place of the celebration in focusing the attention of the alumni on the work of great law schools and their peculiar value at periods like the present in the history of popular government. The permanent maintenance of civil liberty depends upon the ultimate control through civil institutions of the belligerent tendencies in human nature, whether of a domestic or international character, and this requires the training and scattering through the community of the most highly trained minds that the country can produce. The training of such minds has been the great contribution, not only of the Harvard Law School, but of the other leading law schools in the country in the past, and it is essential that this work should continue at its highest practicable standards."
