Harvard iii Law, Visits Here David Sher, 23, son of Dr. and Mrs. Philip Sher, is spending the summer here with his parents, after having graduated from Harvard Law School "coxa laadq." Only< twenty-four out of a class of 360 in the Harvard Law school graduated thus with honors. Sher also has an B. S. degree from Harvard Arts College. During his studies, there he was awarded three scholarships. In his second year of law he was appointed one of Boston's defender's of the indigent before the courts, and in his third year was made a member of the advisory board of students, being salaried to lecture to the freshmen, write briefs and analyze cases.
