A New Law School.

Professor J. H. Beale of the Law School has been granted leave of absence from the University for the first half of next year. He has accepted an invitation from President Harper of the University of Chicago to act as dean of the new law school there, which will be founded by funds given by Mr. J. D. Rockefeller. Professor Beale, together with his colleagues, a number of whom will be graduates of the Harvard Law School, will establish a school resembling as closely as possible the Harvard Law School in curriculum, faculty and methods of study. He will act as dean of the school for the first half of next year, and the first half and possibly the whole of the year 1903-04.
