Ifielwin IV. l'ul.l.erson A Tribute to Roscoe Pound To Roscoe Pound, in celebration of the seventy-fifth anniversary of his birth, I gladly offer a token of the debt which I owe him as teacher, friend, and philosopher of law. More than a quarter of a century has passed by since, as a student in his Seminars injurisprudence and in Roman Law, I was privileged to partake ofhis revealing insights into the basic values and methods of the world's two great legal systems: Anglo-American law, and the Roman-civil law. He was the hrst teacher who taught me to see law whole, to see it as a structure of the social order, and yet to see its conflicts and its compromises, its subtleties and nuances. Many a time outside the classroom he took pains to guide my eager inquiries into some obscure theory of ancient or modern legal philosophy. Likewise did he generously counsel me when in 1920 I began work on the first of the Harvard Studies in Administrative Law. This personal debt of gratitude is insignificant as compared with that which we all owe him for his contributions to the philosophy oflaw. When I began the teaching oflaw some thirty years ago, American legal thinking displayed a mechanistic formalism, its superficiality was only slightly penetrated by an historical approach which sought to find in the Yearbooks basic reasons for twentieth century law. That such is no longer the case is due to the work of Roscoe Pound more than of any other one man. Pound spoke for the culture of the Middle West, where the niceties of Yearbook learning were little known and less respected. His avid interests in the reasons behind law and his monumental learning in the doctrines and philosophies of English and European law enabled him to bring us insights of unrivaled richness and variety. To these and through these he has added his own contributions. The latter include his theory of social interests, which reveals the basic significance of public policies and social or ethical values in Anglo-American law. Many a judge and legislator and law teacher who was unfamiliar with Pound's writings has come under his influence. His philosophy of law is a framework for the whole of law, from the Statute of Wills to the latest piece of labor legislation. Through his numerous public addresses he brought legal philosophy out of the classroom and into the halls where bar associations and similar bodies gathered. He enlivened it with touches of humor and sometimes with a shrewd practical insight into American folkways. He gave it concreteness and vitality by calling upon his vast and accurate knowledge of the law. He has already expressed his philosophy of law in an outpouring of books and articles which will, I believe, long outlive our day. His work is not yet done. As we pay tribute to him on this occasion let us hope that in the years ahead he will integratezthese partial embodiments ofhis ideas and his learning in the long awaited treatise on jurisprudence. 5 W .
