This year's Law School year-book will be dedicated to Oliver Wendell Holmes to commemorate the 100th anniversary of his birth, Robert S. Ratner 3L. Editor in Chief of the year book revealed today.
The dedication will be written by Chief Justice Charles Evans Hughes of the U. S. Supreme Court, and Justice Owen Roberts will contribute a life of Holmes. A complete candid camera biography of the late justice will be published, together with a full color reproduction of his portrait.
Holmes Article Included
Ratner stated that an article written by Justice Homes in 1888 for "Youth's Companion' would be published for the first time in this year's law book. Mark Howe of the Buffalo University Law School discovered it and presented it as a gift to Dean Landis. The article gives Holmes's estimation of the characteristics necessary for success in law.
The year book will include a special in Memoriam of Eugene Wambaugh, the oldest member of the faculty, who died last July.
Four times as many candid camera shots of informal school life as last year will be run and full color "Punch" cartoons of English judges will make up the inserts separating various sections of the book. Covers the same as last year's will enable students to make up a matching set of three during their years at the Law School.
