DR. CHARLES B. HAVENS FROM THE NEW PRESIDENT To the Students, Faculty, Alumni, and Friends of the School of Law: Many interesting new developments have made my first year at Cumberland a very thrilling time. The acquisition of the Cordell Hull Building, the healthy up-swing in enrollment in the Law School, the marked increase in giving by alumni and friends, the return of Law classes to Caruthers Hall, and the occupation of the Hiill Building by the Law faculty have all been exciting steps along the way to recovery and to the re-opening of the College of Arts and Science in September. The loyal and friendly spirit of you Law students has been a major factor in the high morale that is present in our school, and I am glad that you graduates can leave us this year with a new sense of optimism and hope. I am glad, too, that you underclassmen will be with us during the 110th Session to encourage us to do bigger and better things for the University. Sincerely, Moxks ft.4U lncK3S Charles B. Havens President 12
