Ludington Leo Gottlieb Stanley Morrison Isaac B. Halpern Arthur D. Platt Harold W. Holt H. William Radovsky Cloyd Laporte Sigurd Ueland Victor Levine Clarence J. Young William P. Palmer William Cheney Brown, ist Lieutenant, Quartermaster Corps, died of pneumonia, in the city of Washington, January 19, 1919. He was then on duty in charge of the Admiralty Section of the Embarkation Service, in. the office of the Quartermaster General. Brown was a graduate of Harvard College of the Class of 1914, and of the Law School of the Class of 19 17. During his last two years at the law school he was an Editor of this Review, and during his last year its treasurer. He left the Law School in the spring of 19 17 as soon as the Review could spare him, and attended the first Officers' Training Camp at Fort Myer, Va. He was there commissioned in the Quartermaster Corps, with which corps he served until his death. Brown was thus more than well started towards a position as one of those useful members of the bar, who are at once well trained and competent as lawyers, and in- telligent as men of business. His friends, and among these his friends of the Review are not the least, know best how ill his good sense and good humor can be spared. The Earl of Reading, Lord Chief Justice of England, has recently presented to the Harvard Law School a letter written by Will. Blackstone at the age of twenty-one from his lodgings in Arundel Street, London, to a legal friend in the country. The letter describes so well Blackstone's method of study, expresses so clearly, in words almost literally repeated in the Commentaries twenty years later, his view of the wholeness of the law, and is withal so pleasant a dociunent that it has been thought worth while to print it in full here.
