r Whom We Are Proud to Honor DR. ARTHUR C. PULLING The University of Maine was most fortunate last sum- mer to obtain a scholar of international reputation as its Law Librarian, DR. ARTHUR C. PULLING. Dr. Pullingts long and distinguished career in library work, which began at Harvard Law School in 1907, has included thirty years as Librarian of the University of Minnesota Law School, eleven years as Director of the Harvard Law Library, and nine years as Law Librarian 9f Villanova University. His achievements at those institutions have won him international recognition and established him as a most eminent builder of law libraries. Dr. Pullinghs insight into library needs, his great BOWIedge, tact, and good judgment, his wide acquaint- ance among librarians, lawyers, and publishers, and his technical skill are now in the service of the University of Maine and its new School of Law in Portland. In the few months that he has been in Portland, the faculty and students of the School of Law have come to know Dr. Pulling as one who enjoys thoroughly the performance of his duties. His enthusiasm and his strong faith in the future of the University of Maine in Portland make him an inspiring coileague and render most fitting these words of formal dedication. gavwgf Tiemfg, Dean, School of Law
