The number of applicants already admitted for enrollment in
1961 indicates that the entering class of 1961 at both divisions will
be as great as that of 1960. At Indianapolis our present facilities
were used to maximum capacity during the past academic year. Our
proposed expansion into the adjoining building will furnish only
temporary relief.

aloged volumes is now 91,603. At Indianapolis 2,032 volumes were added
and 1,653 publications processed. Their total number of cataloged
volumes is now 54,592.

Professor Cleon H. Foust carried through considerable expansion
of the Legal Clinic program in Indianapolis. This expansion was made
on two fronts: (1) in research work with committees of the General As-
sembly; and (2) with the Marion County court system. Both were highly
successful. He continued his work with the Indiana Commission on
Forensic Sciences, and engaged in a very heavy program of state and local
bar association work in the public service. Always a popular teacher,
he received the annual Indianapolis Student Union Board Award this year.
Professor Ralph F. Fuchs has just completed his first year as
National President of the American Association of University Professors.
He has since last September been in New Delhi, India under a Ford

tensive work with five young Indian law teachers so that they may gain Annual Report 7. proficiency in legal research.

Merrill. In recognition of his great service, the officers of the Bar
Association presented him with a handsome plaque.
Professor Harry Pratter served on the University's General Com- mittee studying Indiana University in relation to world affairs.

cess."
Professor Ivan C. Rutledge continued his study of migratory labor.
Professor Ben F. Small was appointed Associate Dean of the School of Law at the beginning of this academic year. His administrative work has halted his work on his textbook on Workmen's Compensation for Bobbs-
