Roscoe Pound Receives
Law Survey Dedication
In recognition of his disting
uished services to the cause of
law reform at home and abroad,
the 1947 volume of the Annual
Survey of American Law, written
and published by the faculty of
the New' York University school
of law, was dedicated last night
to Dean Emeritus Roscoe Pound
of Harvard university law school
A native of Lincoln, Dean
Pound was born Oct. 27, 1870.
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. Judge
Vanderbilt retires as dean on Sep
tember 1st to assume the first
chief justiceship of the New Jer
sey supreme court under that
state's new constitution on Sep
tember 15 th.
. Faculty Attend.
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. Dean
Pound is now in China where he
is charged with the task of re
writing the laws of China, as ad-
UN Officer Claims Andrei Gromyko
Not Really as Sour as Appearances
Next time you see Andrei
r.mmvkn in the news reels you
can boo him if you want to, but
it would make about as mum

ton for playing the villian in the
feature picture.
For Andrei Gromyko, accord
ing to Dr. William Agar, is not
such a mean man personally.
And Dr. Agar ought to know.
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.
Dr. Agar, the second speaker
from Lake Success to come to Ne
braska for the university's con
tinuing summer clinic on UN, was
the guest of the Nebraska Educa

The 1947 volume in its dedica

"the Schoolmaster of the Ameri
can bar and the founder of the
school of sociological jurispru

in length, of which 1,145 pages

later in the day to return to his
post with the UN's information
division.
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. It happens to be the place
where conflict is sometimes vis-

the volume.
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. ,

neer. The building, formerly an ath
letic arena at Camp Crowder,
Mo., is located in the northeast
corner of the campus near the
coliseum. It is a large frame
building covered with brick ve
neer and trimmed . in bedford
stone. The inside over-all dimen
sions are 201 feet long and 130
feet wide, and the playing space
is just slightly smaller than the
coliseum floor.
Building's Use
The new building will be used
for physical education classes and
intramural sports.
Completion of the athletic
building completes the FWA pro
gram at the university under
which 77,500 square feet of class
room, laboratory, library and
health center space was added
to thhe institution's facilities. The
transfer of the university build
ing, one of the largest FWA proj
ects in the midwest, also com
pletes the FWA program in the
state. This included construction
of 114,380 feet of floor space from
army surplus buildings at Creigh
ton, Hastings, Nebraska Wesleyan,
Kearney Normal and the Milford
state trade school.
