Prologue to School oi Law n ' Once (says an Author; where, I need not say) Two Trav ' lers found an Oyster in their way; Both fierce, both hungry; the dispute grew strong. While Scale in hand Dame Justice, past along, Before her, each with clamour pleads the Laws Explain ' d the matter, and would win the cause. Dame Justice weighing long the doubtful Right, Takes, opens, swallows it, before their sight. The cause of strife remo - ' d so rarely well There take (says Justice) take ye each a shell. We thri e at Westminster on Fools like you ; ' Twas a fat oyster — li e in Peace — Adieu. Alexander Pope 1 41 n if 122]

IJt -1 Ml ' n i A Hon. Henry D, Harl arian T the close of the scholastic year of 1928-24, Dean Henry D. Harlan ga c up his course of lectures in Domestic Relations. Judge Harlan entered the Law School as a student in the fall of 1S79, and graduate l with the degree of Bachelor of Laws in ISSl. His application to his studies and his ability as a student gained li r him both of the prizes offered by the school, the Thesis prize for the most meritorious thesis, and the (iray prize for excellence in scholarship. Such a recoid has seldom, if ever, been equaled. In 1S83 Judge Harlan became connected with the school in the capacity of lecturer, and during the forty years this connection continued, his subjects included Elementary Law, Constitutional Law and Domestic Relations. He became Dean of the school in 1910, and prior to that time had been active in the management of the school as an otificer of the Faculty. The services rendered by Judge Harlan during his long tenure as lecturer cannot be overestimated. His profoimrl legal learning impressed each student privileged to take his courses; his keen interest in his courses and in the welfare of the Law .School won for him their respect and gratitude; his ability to impart his knowledge to his classes and his sympathetic understanding of the problems of the students gained for him their affectionate regard, and stimulated them in their study of law. A large proportion of the active (iractitioners in Mar - land, and scores of others who have gone into other fields of work since their attendance at Law School, join in this testimonial to the faithful and efficient services of this distinguished lawyer, educator and statesman. The students, while regretful that intimate contact with Judge Harlan in the lecture room has ceased, are glad that the Law School will continue to command his able services in his capacity as Dean. 1 2:5 1
