LAW STUDENT AT HARVARD
MR J. F. HOGG ADDRESSES STUDENTS’ SOCIETY The 1500 students who attend Harvard University are representative not only of the 48 American States, but also of 32 foreign countries, said Mr J. F. Hogg, of Wellington, a Rotary Foundation scholar who recently returned to New Zealand after completing a master’s degree at the Harvard Law School, when he spoke at a luncheon given by the Canterbury College Law Students’ Society. Harvard students worked against the background of an amazing variety of legal systems, said Mr Hogg. A sixday working week was observed, and there was little of the club life which was a feature of New Zealand university colleges. Mr Hogg referred to the case book teaching technique used extensively in the United States, and said there was little text book lecturing as in New Zealand. • Mr P. G. Hill presided at the luncheon, which attended by more than 40 members.
Mr Hogg will return to Harvard next year to study for his doctorate in law.
