YALE 3, HARVARD

The Harvard School of Business Administration and the Yale Law School have united to order to give a four year course in which law and business problems are correlated. The new plan which demands a year in New Haven, a year in Cambridge, and the final two years in New Have, appears superficially to be a publicity stunt. The transaction is certainly good ballyhoo for the enrollment of the two schools. But Harvard Law School students can spend a year in the Business School and be taking practically the same courses in the Harvard-Yale plan. They would only miss the correlation seminars.

Considered apart from the features of collaboration between two universities, the essential idea of the plan is sound. There is, no doubt, a constant demand for lawyers with a thorough knowledge of business conditions. Such knowledge will be obtained in the curriculum which formerly had to be gained by years of experience. Many law graduates who enter business each year will find such training more valuable than the study of law itself. Aside from monetary rewards for their ingenuity, the schools will feel quite deservedly a definite satisfaction that they have succeeded in filling a definite gap in the methods of legal education.
