Exhibit: Student Life at Harvard Law

Via H-Law, we have word of a new exhibit at the Harvard Law School Library, Life Beyond the Law: Exploring Student Life Outside the Harvard Law School Classroom.
Over the years, students have found respite from their studies in activities both solitary and social, on campus and off. Life Beyond the Law: Exploring Student Life Outside the Harvard Law School Classroom examines the experiences of Harvard Law School students from the mid-1840s to the present. It focuses on life outside the classroom along the themes of off-campus activities, leisure and the arts, and athletics. Largely told in their own words, this exhibit gives a glimpse into the lives of individual students whose experiences are captured in letters to friends and family, personal diaries, student publications, and photographs.

Curated by Jane Kelly and Lesley Schoenfeld, "Life Beyond the Law" will be on view in the Caspersen Room, Langdell Hall fourth floor, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM through December 12, 2014.
