The Dean Reports I know that our graduates and friends are deeply inter­ ested in the strength of our educational program and the quality of the intellectual life of our students. 1 also know that our graduates and friends are gratified by the great progress the law school has made over the past two decades, and that you are committed to an even stronger program and an even better education for our students. What 1 do not yet know is how good you want us to be. By any measure, we can be proud of the work of our graduates, our students, and our faculty. Our graduates provide leadership to law firms, corporations, govern­ ment agencies, and other institutions around the coun­ try. They serve our society well. Our student body is drawn from all over the country (currently, from twenty- eight states), from all of the best undergraduate schools, and from a wide variety of prior careers. The faculty are recognized around the country for their scholarly writ­ ing and their professional activities. I cannot prove it, but I would be surprised if even a dozen law schools can claim the uniformly high quality of classroom teaching that we have, or such a vibrant intellectual atmosphere rations and moving as quickly as possible to achieve outside the classroom.
