The following extract is taken from President Eliot's Annual Re- port:^ —
"The Law School had a year of great prosperity in 1887-88. The number of students increased twenty per cent., the Story Professorship was filled again, after having been vacant four years, and the Harvard Law School Association gave the school 1 1,000 with which to in- crease the amount of instruction in Constitutional Law during the year 1888-89.
- The Dean's report gives much information about the sources of the
supply of students for the Law School. ... It appears that the States which have yielded a steady supply of students since the three years' course was established in 1877-78, are California, Illinois, Maine,'
