THE UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS SCHOOL OF LAW 2500 RED RIVER AUSTIN 5. TEXAS February 8, 1963 TO THE LAW STUDENTS: I am confident that all of you have been acutely aware of the inadequacies of Townes Hall for an enrollment of the 1,000 students which we had at the beginning of this school year. The reading room of the library has been overcrowded at times; the number of classrooms and seminar rooms is insufficient; some of the classrooms and seminar rooms have left much to be desired; and the noise that inevitably accompanies construction of a large building has been disturbing. Even so, I believe that classroom instruction and discussion have remained at a high level and you have continued to engage in and improve our extracurricular activities in moot court, on the Legal Research Board, and on the Texas Law Review. This result could not have been obtained had it not been for your patience and cooperation. For this I am most grateful. To those of you who will be in school next year--that is, the great majority--I can assure you that we will have completely adequate facilities for up to 1,500 students with such important features as closed circuit television, the very best in four new classrooms, improved seminar rooms, at least double the study and reading space in the Law Library, and last, but also important, about 5,000 square feet of space for use by the students and the Student Bar Association officers for such purposes as offices, lockers, coffee facilities, a lounging area, etc. The last has been a long time in coming but space of this kind has been needed and it has been something that the University had an obligation to provide. I hope it will be used with restraint and in good taste. To those of you who will graduate I should like to say that the opportunity for effective service by the lawyer has never been so favorable. I know that you will be a credit to the Law School and I trust that as an alumnus you will help us to develop an even greater Law School than we now have. Sincerely, Page Keeton Dean 10 WPK:llg
