Dr. Bernard Lander, president of Touro College, has announced that the college will open its law school in Sept. 1975. The new law school, the first to be chartered in New York in nearly 50 years, is also the first law school in the U.S. to be established under Jewish auspices. Dr. Eugene V. Rostow, dean of the Yale Law School from 1955 to 1965 and now Sterling Professor of Law and Public Affairs there, has been appointed director of planning of the Touro School of Law, Dr. Lander said.
