- W850351207 abstract "When William Rainey Harper, presi dent of the newly created University of Chicago, quickly turned his attention at the turn of the century to the founding of a law school, he asserted that great emphasis will be placed upon the fact that the University spirit is to prevail in the work of the Law School. Only 30 years earlier, when Dean Christopher Columbus Langdell first introduced the case method of teaching at Harvard Law School, the opposition to it among the faculty, alumni, and bar resulted in the creation of a new law school at Boston University for the ex press purpose of providing what was termed antidote to the theoretical tendencies alarmingly displayed at Harvard. And in 1890, when Professor Keener was brought down from Har vard to introduce the case method at Columbia, the entire faculty withdrew in protest a year later, as recounted by Erwin N. Griswold in his article on the history of American legal education in this Journal (64 A.B.A.J. 1051). The dis sident alumni established the New York Law School to enable them to carry on their teaching in the old man ner. Of course, Harvard and Columbia survived the counterreformation, and the new schools themselves eventually embraced the case method. Periodically the university spirit in legal education has been affected, not to say imperiled, by an upsurge of de mands for a greater measure of what is variously termed more useful or more instruction. We ap pear to be in such a cycle.

In his speech to the American Law Institute in May, 1978, he urged that at least some of the law schools experiment with devoting the third year solely to practical train ing. In his appearance before the Amer ican Bar Association in August, 1978, he stressed the result of a poll recently conducted by the Law School Admis sion Council. Of the 1,600 law school graduates of six schools between 1955 and 1970 who responded to the in quiry, a significant percentage pro fessed dissatisfaction with their legal The University Law School and Practical Education" @default.
