Rumor that James M. Landis, present chairman of the Federal Securities Exchange Commission, had been appointed Dean of the Law School fiared up anew early this morning, despite the fact that President Conant told the CRIMSON that nothing was definite as yet.
The Boston Globe declared that they had learned of Landis' appointment "from a highly reliable source." The only official sources through which this rumor could be confirmed, namely the President and Fellows of the University, could not be contacted at the time the statement appeared. Edmund M. Morgan '02, professor of Law and acting dean of the school, declared that he had no statement to make on the subject.
