Its members are all text-book widows, and many double as bread-winners in the bargain. The Association welcomes newly arrived consorts and helps them to explore the labyrinths of Ann Arbor. It allows its members many op- portunities to share and develop their interests as well. Those who eschew the TV Dinner may find solace with the culinary arts group. Art, drama, and literary groups employ the creative. The Weak-Seven club opener is one of the proudest inventions of the bridge players, and the sewing circle affords a refuge for those who demand both conversation and accomplish- ment. The legal studies group assults the mysteries of the law, and the Winterdance Committee makes a much appreciated annual contribution to the social calendar. As for charity, the bake sale is the Wives' cotmtermeasure to that inescapable and soul-leaching affliction, final week instantus. The music group is for all those women who love to sing and enjoy music. The purpose of the social-recreational group is to bring together those who are interested in recreational activities and to provide a social program whereby husbands and wives can enjoy themselves in the company of other law students. 48

Most of them are involved in specialized research projects of their own or are working in the Legislative Research Center. The LL.M. and S.J.D. programs are designed primarily for candidates intending to enter law teaching, although several LL.M. candidates intend rather to strengthen their quali- fications for the practice of law. Thirty-five graduate students from abroad are also in residence. Twenty-three are from Asia, nine from Europe, two from South America, and one from Africa. The European students are from Germany ffivey, Belgium, and England. The Asian students include five from Japan, ten from the Philippines, four from the Ryukyu 'f' Islands, and others from Thailand and India. One student comes 1- . from the United Arab Republic, and two from Argentina. a Y A number of the American and Canadian students 7 ' ' 1 are supported by W. W. Cook Fellowships. Funds Graduate Studies X V S from the Cook endowment also provide limited sup- X' i 'Xi- ',4 port for some of the students from abroad, others are supported by their governments, and some rely on other grants or private means to finance their studies. Several of the Philippine students are sup- ported by fellowships from the fund provided by the bequest of the late Clyde E. DeWitt. Students from civil law countries are candidates for the degree of Master of Comparative Law, and devote a major por- tion of their time to the study of American legal institutions. Those from common law countries may choose to work instead for the LL.M. degree. Von Bodungen, D. Van Hentenkijk, A. Saddam, A. Kalalo, E. Michiyama, R. Ecuma, D. Dhamaruksa. SECOND ROW: I.

Roberts Beverly Pooley, Director THE LAW LIBRARY Since 1931, when it left Haven Hall for William W. Cook's newly erected Legal Research Building, the library has grown from 95,458 volumes to 340,000 volumes. In the process, former Director Hobart Coffey built the library into one of the finest legal research collections in the world. The library budget totalled SB123,000 this year, more than half of which went for continuations, including the 6,600 serial titles in the catalogue. Presently, the library is absorbed in completing its collection of primary legal sources of every nation and has recently been adding Japanese and African materials in particular. The collection of International Organization doctunents, is one of the most extensive in existence. Last year a sub- stantially complete collection of government publications dealing with the Internal Revenue Laws was purchased from Mr. Carleton Fox. Other collections include various editions of Blackstone and a good selection of incunabula. At the present rate of acquisition, more than 8,000 bound volumes per year, including bound perio- dicals and purchased collections, a shortage of shelf space may be expected within two or three years. The staff is composed of professional librarians who are assisted by clerical and part-time student help. One welcome improvement planned is for better lighting in the reading room. The facilities for visiting and resident scholars, including carrel and office space, microfilm equip- ment, and inter-library loans are some of the best in the country. Moreover, the library serves mem- bers of the bar and judges in addition to the students themselves. Kneeling, M. Coffield, G. Cx-olle, S. Tsoutsanis, I. Provine, R. Bib:-ut, L.
