Hall Follows Glueck; Law School's New Pound Professor

Livingston Hall, professor of Law, will become Roscoe Pound Professor of Law at the Harvard Law School on Sept. 1, the University announced this morning.

Hall, Vice Dean of the Law School from 1938 to 1959, has taught criminal law and agency at the University since 1932. In the spring of 1959, he served as Acting Dean of the Law School during the absence of Dean Erwin N. Griswold. He was recently elected president of the Massachusetts Bar Association, and has been Town Moderator of Concord since 1957.

The second holder of the Pound Professorship, Hall succeeds Sheldon Glueck, who is retiring from teaching in September to devote his full time to research in criminology. Glueck has held the Pound Chair since 1950.

The Pound Professorship honors "the grand old man of American law," Roscoe Pound, University Professor, Emeritus, now at the age of 92. Pound taught here from 1910 to 1947 and served as Dean of the Law School from 1916 to 1936.
