...Library of Congress in Washington. In the spring of 1913, however, an opportunity presented itself whereby the Law School now stands among the first of american institutions in the collection of South American juris-prudence. The opportunity came through a trip to South America by Dr. Lichtenstein on a book hunting expedition for another institution, since he agreed to buy whatever books he could for the Law Library. Dr. Lichtenstein has now been in South America for over a year during which time he has visited all the republics and has bought for the Law School complete, or nearly complete...
...recent accession is the culmination of a two years' book-hunting expedition to South America by Dr. Walter Lichtenstein, formerly connected with the University Library and now librarian at Northwestern University. Dr. Lichtenstein was in South America from August, 1913, to December, 1914, during which time he was a joint representative of the John Crerar Library of Chicago, of the Northwestern University Library in Evanston, Ill., and of the University Library here in Cambridge.

...School Library as well as the College Library also benefitted by Dr. Lichtenstein's trip. Several attempts, prior to this recent trip, were made in order to secure for the Law School a collection of the laws, decisions and doctrinal legal writings of the Southern republics but the results were, for the most part, fragmentary. Through the efforts of Dr. Lichtenstein, however, a very complete collection of material from these countries has been obtained and at the present time the Law Library is probably as fully equipped in South American legal writings as any law library in the United States...
