Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Harvard Law School, 1817-1917 Since the plan for the organization of the Centennial Anniversary on June 10th and 20th were announced, and since this pamphlet went to press, further developments have made it necessary to postpone the celebration of the anniversary indefinitely. The committee hopes that the circulation of this pamphlet may to some extent take the place of the celebration in focusing the attention of the alumni on the work of great law schools and their peculiar value, at periods like the present, in the history of popular government. If the alumni will read this account of the School and its development and reflect on the significance of the service of scattering through the country highly trained minds for the practical study of the multitude of problems of civil liberty under law, the unique opportunity offered by this anniversary, which is described in the preface, and to take advantage of which the celebration was planned, will not have been wholly lost.
