Pound Too

"Pound is going too." Thus spoke Harvardites who, going home a little melancholy after the farewell to Prof.

Baker, discussed changes, strove to foresee what further excursions, alarms, awaited their University. Roscoe Pound, Dean of the Harvard Law School since 1916, had been elected President of the University of Wisconsin, promised a salary of from $12,000 to $15,000 a year. He, after a conference with Miss Zona Gale, playwright member of a special Wisconsin committee, accepted the post. It is expected that he will remove to Wisconsin when President R. A. Birge, after over 50 years of service in that University, retires at the end of this year.

Dean Roscoe Pound was born in Lincoln, Nebraska, in 1870. He is an authority on Law, on Botany, has written much on each. Famed as a liberal, he opposed Attorney General Palmer's prosecution of the "reds" in 1919, pleaded for amnesty for political prisoners. Convention in law, unwieldy, useless, displeases him. He has suggested many judicial reforms. A Freemason, he once published a series of lectures on "The Philosophy of Free-masonry."
