...Harvard Law School makes a masterful statement today of its aims and hopes for the future. The concepts of public service which it expresses, the ambition to share greatly in the maintenance of American legal principles and in their effective adaptation to changing conditions, are, to be sure, in no wise new to the school. Ever since its foundation, the Harvard School of Law has taken leadership in the training of law years for able service not alone of private clients, but of the public interest. Of late, however, the school has seen opportunities of usefulness rising before it with...
Excerpts from Dean Pound's statement follow: "What research has done for the prevention and cure of disease, what it has done for engineering, and what it has done for the technical arts, it may well do for the law. The call for research in law is especially strong. Lawyers, courts, legislatures, the administration of justice in general, and the administration of criminal justice in particular, are subjects of serious crit- icism on the part of the lay public. The strain upon law due to the changes in modern life, and the resulting delays, uncertainties and miscarriages demand a service...
...first statement in this sentence is correct, but the second one is hardly accurate. There is no connection whatever today between the Remington Arms Company and the Remington Typewriter Company, except possibly a sentimental one due to a common ancestry.

He is just exactly that! Not accredited perhaps, but none the less so. I, for one, would gladly let him represent me, were I an American, but I'm not even after 35 years residence here. (This is not my fault but my misfortune. I took out first papers, but when I wanted the second I was deterred by certain red tape methods...
...happens that almost simultaneously with your published article we sent out the statement of the Company for 1925 in which we showed sales of $28,553,425.48, whereas your news item indicated that our gross sales would approximate the 1920 record, which reached $32,341,429.00. As a matter of fact, while our 1925 sales did not approximate in dollars our 1920 sales, they far exceeded our 1920 volume in gallons, and this difference in dollars was, therefore, accounted for by the fact that we have had approximately a 25% less price in 1925 than in 1920, which we think...
