Admitted to Nebraska bar in 1890, he practiced at Lincoln from 1890 to 1901. An assistant professor of law at the University of Ne braska from 1899 to 1903, Pound was dean of Nebraska's law school from 1903 to 1907. The dedication was made by Judge Arthur T. Vanderbilt, re tiring dean of the New York uni versity school of law at the dedi cation dinner of the 1947 annual survey at the Lotos club, 5 East 66th street, New York City.

The dedication dinner was at tended by the entire faculty of the law school, most of whom had con tributed articles to the Survey. Professor Sidney Post Simpson of the law school's faculty, formerly professor of law at Harvard uni versity, represented Dean Pound at the ceremonies and read" Dean Pound's acceptance speech.

He's the United Nations educa tional liaison officer who com pleted a two-day appearance on the University of Nebraska cam pus Tuesday. Gromyko Not Dour "Gromyko," said Dr. Agar in a lecture at Love Library Tuesday morning, "isn't the dour person that photographs would lead you to believe. Nor is he the dour person that you would suspect when you see him speak he scowls and frowns. "As a matter of fact, at the close of an official session I have seen him in sociable groups where he talks and acts like a perfectly rational and reasonable human being," Dr. Agar reported. And Gromyko speaks very good English, Dr. Agar said, though he sticks to Russian for official ut terances. He explained that Gromyko, until his recent removal from UN, was duty bound, like all security council representatives, to carry out the instructions and policies of his home government when acting officially. Oath of Allegiance That pattern of conduct, how ever, does not apply to members of the UN's secretariat, the in ternational civil servants who comprise the working framework of the UN organization, Dr. Agar said. When they join the UN's staff they do not lose their citi zenship but they take an oath of allegience to support their boss the UN.

On Monday Dr. Agar said that the United Nations in two brief years has already chalked up some encouraging successes and deserves the support of all thoughtful citizens. Progress Brought "In Palestine," Dr. Agar point ed out, "the efforts of the United Nations have brought a measure of progress on a problem that for years has confounded Great Brit ain, the United States, and other national powers. "At least UN has stopped the fighting," he added, "and there is hope that the way will continue to remain open for negotiation. This is a worthwhile achieve ment." One great difficulty the UN has, Dr. Agar said, is to make people understand that it is something more than a security council. "The security council is only one small part of the United Na tions.

The Annual Survey of American Law, instituted as a major pub lication of the New York univer sity school of law in' 1942 by Dean Vanderbilt and his colleagues on the faculty, has been dedicated annually since then "to that mem ber or members of the legal pro fession who fn the opinion of the contributors to the survey made the greatest contribution to the development of the law in the year covered by the book." - The 1942 volume was dedicated to Chancellor Harry Woodburn Chase of New York university; the 1943 edition to Dean emeritus Frank H. Sommer, Dean Vander bilt's predecessor in office; the 1944 issue to the Honorabl Man ley O. Hudson, judge of the per manent court of international jus tice; the 1945 volume to Honor able Carl McFarland, draftsman of the federal administrative Pro cedure acst; and the 1946 issue was jointly dedicated to the Hon orable Robert M. LaFollette, jr., former United States senator from Wisconsin, the Honorable A. S. Mike Monroney, congressman from Oklahoma and Dr. George B. Gal loway, staff director of the joint committee on the organization of congress, for their work in the enactment of the legal reorgani zation act of 1946. Dean Pound, prior to leaving this country for his duties in China, wrote .and published a comprehensive review of the 1942 through 1946 volumes of the an nual survey, which was printed in four successive issues of the Amer ican Bar association's journal this past year. ible, and therefore it gets con siderable attention," he explained. To Prevent Aggression The council, he reminded, has the prime job of preventing ag gression - the "hot wars," But the UN, as a whole, has the less glamorous, but perhaps more lm portant job of removing the causes of war. Such agencies as the commis sion on human rights, the eco nomic council, and the World Health organization have made very significant progress pro gress that in many instances has passed almost unnoticed. , Final Coliseum Concert Closes All-State Clinic The University of Nebraska's All-State High School Course in Music, Speech and Dramatic Art came to a close this week with a series of public performances.
