To Choose Subordinate Officers at Meeting Tomorrow

Twenty-nine men have been elected to the Legal Aid Society of the Harvard Law School, 13 from the third and 16 from the second year men, it was announced yesterday.

The purpose of the Legal Aid Society is to supply free legal aid to any University student. No criminal cases are handled, but anything else from arguments with irate landlords to divorces and automobile accidents come under the society's jurisdiction. The society's offices are located in Central Square, and office hours are held every day from 4 to 6 o'clock in the afternoon and from 7 to 9 o'clock in the evening.

There will be a meeting tomorrow at which all the officers for the coming year except the president will be elected. S. L. Rosenberry 3L is president now and holds office until next March. At tomorrow's meeting the plans for this winter will be outlined, and office hours will be assigned to the members. Dean Roscoe Pound Hon. '20, of the Law School will speak on "Legal Aid and the Lawyer".
