Four Supreme Court justices sent birthday greetings Saturday to Roscoe Pound, who served as Dean of the Law School from 1916 to 1936 and is one of America's greatest legal authorities.
Pound, who will be 89 on Tuesday, Oct. 27, celebrated his birthday a week early at a dinner given by 27 prominent lawyers at the Sidney Hill Country Club in Newton. Samuel B. Horovitz '20, who presided at the dinenr Saturday, read the four congratulatory letters and praised Pound as "the greatest legal scholar of our time." The Justices who wrote were W. O. Douglas, Tom Clark, Haold H. Burton, and Stanley Reed.
A typical message was that of Justice Douglas, who observed, "The full impact of your contributions to American legal thought during a period of nearly 70 years of scholarly service has not yet been felt."
