"Legal education must be in touch with the profession," declared An- derson. "This week we will begin a comprehensive survey of Hastings students and alumni as well as select members of the legal community to pinpoint these needs." Anderson released a copy of this Centennial Survey to the Law News. It appeared to cover all significant aspects of the Hastings curricula and community.
