Plans for a novel and more extensive program for next year are being made by the Law School Society of the Phillips Brooks House Association, under the leadership of Livingston Hall 2L., chairman of the Society. The plans were outlined yesterday by Hall.
During the first week of the next Law School year, the Society will maintain an information office at the Phillips Brooks House. This practice of maintaining an information office during the first few days of each school year, which was inaugurated some years ago by the Law School Society, has proved of the greatest benefit to men entering the School from Colleges and universities other than Harvard. It has helped these men, strangers in Cambridge, not only in getting books, and similar necessities, but also in obtaining living quarters.
Loan Library Increased
The Loan Library, consisting of books necessary in the Law School, from which volumes are lent to men working their way through the School, has been increased this year by a large number of donations from graduating students.
The first general meeting to be held by the Society will be a reception for first year men in particular at the Phillips Brooks House on Monday, September 27. At this reception President Lowell will make the speech of welcome to the entering Law School men. Dean Roscoe Pound, Professor Frankfurter, and Professor Maynadier will also make short speeches dealing largely with the nature of Law School work, contrasting it with that at college. Brief talks on the various fields of activity which may be taken up in the School outside the regular curriculum will be made by the President of the Law Review, the President of the Legal Aid Society, and the Chairman of the Law School Board of Student Advisors.
Next year the Law School Society of the Phillips Brooks House is going to offer to men of the School during the fall and winter, a series of four lectures by prominent men engaged in the legal profession, to illustrate to a certain extent the various fields of work outside the School, which it is possible for graduates of the School to enter. The President of the Bar Association of America, a Judge, a District Attorney and a Lawyer, are to speak on various occasions during the first few months of the year.
District Attorney Buckner of New York is one of the men who will probably speak.
It is expected that by the means of these four lectures, the exact dates of which have not yet been announced, members of the School will get interesting side lights on the activities of various prominent lawyers in the different fields of legal work.
