In its Annual Report to be published tomorrow the Harvard Legal Aid Bureau will present a general resume of the work which it has handled during the past year. The report covers the period from October 31, 1931 to October 31, 1932 and shows the steady growth in the work and efficiency of the Bureau which has been carried on each year since 1936.
Among the more important innovations introduced last year, upon the suggestion of H. B. Ely, president, was the adoption of the plan to keep the Bureau in operation during the summer months. A staff of men was selected for this purpose and trained in the essential details of their work. W. H. Chesebrough 3L, A. H. Fine 2L, J. A. Murray 3L, C. Y. Shinamura 3L, L. L. Wadsworth, Jr. 31, O. R. Waite 3L, and Lowell Whittemore 3L were the men designated for this task.
The success of the new plan is illustrated in the increased number of cases handled during the period covered by the report. From April 1, when it ordinarily discontinued its business to September 30 it handled 405 cases last year as compared with the six month period just prior to that. Comparing the totals it was found that the Burean had taken care of 294 cases in 1930-1931 as compared with 823 in 1931-1932.
