Young Jens Iverson Westengard, Bemis Professor of International Law, died on Tuesday, September 17, less than a week before the opening of the present school year. His illness was brief and not generally known so that his death came as a shock to his colleagues and to his students. An account of his life and services and tributes to his memory will ap- pear in the December issue. At this time we can do no more than recall his unfailing patience, his uniform courtesy, his tactfulness proceeding from a kind heart and a tolerant mind, and his clearness in exposition. Behind these qualities lay a vigorous but disciplined understanding and a strong will which carried him forward in a notable career despite many obstacles. He was one of the editors of the Harvard Law Review in the years 1896-97 and 1897-98. The Harvard Law School in general, and this Review in particular, have suffered a severe loss by the death in action of Lieutenant D. E. Dunbar. He is the first editor of the Harvard Law Review -to lose his life in the present war. Graduating with the highest distinction from the School in 1917, he was for his last year Note Editor of the Review. He was especially interested in questions of constitutional law and those in which the economic aspect of the law of public utilities is con- cerned; and his notes upon cases of this nature are among the best that the Law Review has published. He was the author of a brilliant essay upon the tin-plate industry which was awarded the Hart, Schaflfner and Marx prize in 191 5. He was immensely popular both inside and out- side the class-room. In the former he was always distinguished by the keenness of his criticism and the width of his interests. He had a real genius for friendship. All those who have known him well realize how ill he can be spared. Nil tetigit quod non ornavit.
