A year ago we moved into a sorely needed new building with ample space, func- tional classrooms, and elegant design. At least among those who experienced the transition, there is a feeling that the new facilities reflect a new phase in the development of the Law School. Yet a college is defined, as William James noted, not by its build- ings but by those who inhabit them.
