...some degree to the standard of ability displayed by them in the school, and a comparison based on the reports of the Law School for the last ten years amply bears out this supposition. Prior to last year Harvard men have received 42 per cent. of the LL.B.'s cum laude granted by the school and have constituted 46 per cent. of the men elected to the Law Review. Moreover, the classes in which the largest proportion of degrees with distinction were awarded to Harvard men have also had the largest representation of Harvard men on the Review...
...years, for until last year the balance, which is now against the Harvard men, stood decidedly in their favor. Though the proportion of Harvard students enrolled in the school at any time before 1911 averaged only 34 per cent., they received 42 per cent of the LL.B.'s cum laude and constituted 46 per cent. of the members of the Law Review Association; while last year with 25 per cent. of the total enrollment, they received only 23 per cent. of the LL.B.'s cum laude and constituted only 13 per cent. of the Review Association.

Of the Harvard men in the present third year class, who show but little promise of improvement over last year's record, twenty...
...from an average of 34 per cent. to one of 25 per cent. is a fact by itself to be deplored; but it goes only a very little way toward accounting for a fall of from 42 per cent. to 23 per cent. in the proportion of LL.B.'s cum laude taken by Harvard men, and a fall in Harvard's representation on the Law Review of from 46 per cent. to the 4 per cent. to which it is now reduced. There appears to be no escape from the conclusion that the recent Review elections indicate a real deterioration...
