To the Law Students: 1 have said many times that there are perhaps four main objectives to achieve in trying to satisfy the Law School's obligation to the students. These arc (and in my opinion they are stated in the order of their importance) as follows: (1) a student body of high intellectual attainments and capacities, with entirely different backgrounds and experience; (2) a superior faculty; (3) an excellent library; and (4) reasonably adequate physical facilities and equipment. Wc have always attracted a large percentage of the best students who contemplate practicing law in this state, and I feel certain that you have found the intellectual atmosphere more stimulating as a result. We have not only one of the largest law libraries but also one of the best, from a research standpoint, in this part of the country. Now that we have had almost a year's experience in our new quarters, with adequate facilities for student activities, the Moot Court program, the Texas Law Review, the Legal Aid Clinic, and the other educational services that should be provided, I am even more convinced than ever that with Townes Hall we have one of the best plants in the country. As regards physical equipment we are most fortunate. Having eliminated the big handicap of inadequate physical facilities, we can devote our major attention to a matter that requires eternal vigilance and proper financial support, i.e. , the maintenance of a superior and experienced faculty. We do have a superior faculty at the present time, and I take considerable pride in being able to serve them in an administrative capacity. However, we have suffered some painful losses because of inadequate financial support, and your interest and help on this problem in the future as citizens of our great state are earnestly solicited. Sincerely, ££d v Page Keeton Deans THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS The School of Law Austin 12, Texas Office of the Dean
