STATEMENT OF THE FACTS HE WORD Prolocuzor, according to Webster, means one who speaks for the group. In England, this oflice belongs to the Lord Chancellor. As Lord Speaker of the House of Lords, he is the person through whom all measures passed by the House of Commons are communicated to the Upper House. We feel that it is a highly appropriate name for the student annual, and award full credit to Sam Gantt for his winning choice. We do feel that the Duke Proloczztor speaks for the group. Through the coopera- tion of both the faculty and the students, our plan has been success- ful, and the first issue of the annual, unique in Duke Law School history, is now in concrete form. While many problems were incurred in the process of getting the book out within such a limited time as we had, they melted away quickly, when confronted with the determination of the staff to get to press on time. In particular we are indebted to Cliff Benson, President of the Duke Bar Association, Bob Wilson, our capable photographer, and E. D. Fowler of the Seeman Printery for their invaluable aid, and to Dean Harold Shepherd, whose timely help and friendly counsel contributed greatly toward making this annual possible. It is our sincerest hope that we have presented to you a fair and accurate picture of the Law School year to the fullest extent possible, and that you will occasionally in future years End pleasure in recalling to mind the episodes, trials and triumphs of this academic year. We will feel Well rewarded, indeed, if such objective be fulfilled. Ioi-IN COLEINIAN Editor-in-Chief PAGE 2

I, 3, , , LORD HIGH CHANCELLOR l The Lord High Chancellor was the chief ' dispenser of equitable justice in old England from whence cometh oar legal system, and l his function in the Dalqe Urzhfersity School of Law is carried out by . . . OUR DEAN TO WHOM A THIS YEARBOOK l is RESPECTFULLY DEDICATED A -ff V - , Ng i-5-1 G ,. in . .- - ,,v X I 1.. 'rt Lfflllp. O3 f ' A HAROLD SHEPHERD EAN SHEPHERD came to Duke Law School as a Professor of Contracts in 1939, already an eminent, nationally recognized author- ity in this held. Prior to this time he had served as Dean of the University of Wyoming and Uni- versity of Washington Law Schools. He had held professorships at various other leading universi- ties including Stanford Where he will again ac- cept a position as Professor of Contracts next fall. In 1941 Dean Shepherd was elected President of the American Association of Law Schools, and assumed the duties of Dean of the Duke Law School in 1947. While these are notable achievements, and though it cannot be doubted for a moment, that his loss will be a great one from a professional standpoint alone, yet it is to his students a per- sonal loss and one which will be keenly felt. As a tall and dignified scholar, he commanded their respect. I-Iis patient and thorough lectures in Contracts will remain a landmark to each of them. But it is his willingness to give friendly counsel on any and all student problems, and his unique personal charm that will not be soon for- gotten. Under the guidance of Dean Shepherd, the Law School has expanded greatly in enrollment, the curriculum has been completely modernized, and the graduate program has been established and expanded. This has all been accomplished in the face of difficult, sometimes almost insur- mountable post-war problems. lt was with the greatest regret and a deep sense of personal loss that the students of the Law School learned of the resignation of Dean Shep- herd.- While all their good wishes go with him to his new position at his alma mater, their re- gret at his leaving cannot he easily disguised. Dean Shepherd has indeed left his mark upon the Duke Law School. PAGE 3
