LIBRARY OF UNIVERSITY LAW SCHOOL SHOWS RAPID GROWTH

From a start of seven volumes in 1723, the Harvard Law School Library has now more than 175,000 books in its possession. The Library is most complete and includes reports, digests, statutes, codes, and laws of American, British, Canadian, and British Colonial origin, as well as text books and treaties on American and English law. Roman, foreign, and international law are also well represented, and a great number of legislative journals and reports are included as well.

The number of books included in the library is 175,661. This compares favorably in size with other large law libraries in the country. According to latest available figures, the three other largest are: U. S. Senate, 200,000; California State University, 180,000; Michigan University, 165,000.
