The Yale Law School Mirror by Yale Law School; Stanley, W K, Editor - 1899

1899. A Rival of the Yale Shingle Yale Law School. Stanley, W.K., Editor. The Yale Law School Mirror. New Haven: Yale University Law School, 1899. vii, 97, xxxvi pp. Includes thirty-six pages of advertisements, additional ads to endleaves. Photographs. Plates. Oblong octavo (8" x 7"). Original blue cloth, gilt title cartouche to front board. Some rubbing to extremities, owner bookplate (of Harry Crosby Camp) to front pastedown, internally clean. $125. * Published from 1898 to 1900, this yearbook competed against the more successful Yale Shingle. Unlike its rival, the Mirror appeared to be a quasi-official publication that concentrated on factual information about the school rather than colorful anecdotes about the students. It is thus a useful trove of information about Yale Law School at the turn of the twentieth century. Camp, owner of our copy, was a member of class of 1900.
