The doctoral dissertation of a Dutch law student circa 1820 is bound in three copies in three different decorated paper wrappers. Typically such dissertations were printed in a very small number, destined only for friends, family, and associates of the author. The Law Library may hold the only surviving example of each of the three types of decorated paper.

Yale is the finest law school in the country, and as a result, we are able to admit students who will become leaders in the country, and indeed around the world, in many fields.”


David Schleicher

Professor of Law
