Two members of the Jewish community at Yale have just been honored by the University. Dr. Harry Shulman, after only three years on the faculty of the Yale Law School, has been promoted to be Associate Professor of Law; and Eugene V. Rostow, a senior in the college, has been awarded a Henry Fellowship of five hundred pounds for a year’s study at Cambridge University, England.
Dr. Shulman’s rise on the Yale faculty has been almost phenomonal. A graduate of Brown and of Harvard, where he received the S.J.D. degree, he was, before coming to New Haven, law clerk to Mr. Justice Louis Brandeis of the United States Supremem Court. He was appointed an instuctor in 1930, an assistant professor in 1931, and now becomes associate professor. In the academic world, it generally takes some 10 years for a man to achieve this promotion. In addition to teaching, Dr. Shulman is well-known for his writings. His article in the “Yale Law Journal” on “The Supreme Court’s Attitude Toward Liberty and Freedom of Contract” attracted much attention.
Rostow, who is a New Havener, climaxed an outstanding career as an undergraduate by winning the Henry Fellowship. He has held five scholarships during his course, is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, has won many prizes, is editor of the student publication, “The Harkness Hoot.” and has been a member of the University water polo team for three years.
