Dean Pound Says in Annual Report That School Must Have More Adequate Facilities or Limit Enrollment--Describes Past Development

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Either the equipment of the Harvard Law School must be enlarged or the number of its students must be arbitrarily limited. This is the substance of Dean Roscoe Pound's annual report for 1921. At present the school has 1000 students, representing some 180 different colleges. Twenty years ago but 83 colleges were represented. In order to take care of this increase in students Dean Pound hopes for a donation which will hasten the completion of Langdell Hall. He feels that it would be most unfortunate if it should be found necessary to limit the enrollment. Such an action "would be sure to exclude students whom ultimately we should prefer to some of those received.

"Again, it would be likely to restrict the influence of the school by narrowing the field from which it draws." Dean Pound goes on to show how the numbers of the school have increased and how the number of localities represented has grown steadily larger. He states, too, that certain changes in the curriculum must be made in the near future, but there will be no necessity for any other very radical alterations.
