Meyer Goes to Yale

Meyer followed in his brothers' footsteps and entered Yale Law School, a three year program, after graduating from New Haven High School - Hillhouse School in 1907. June 1907 must have been a very proud time in the Shapiro home because that was when Joe graduated from Yale Law School. Meyer had observed a study and work ethic from Charles and Joseph and would not disappoint. It was understood that they all had to work various jobs while in school to help pay for tuition and books.

Meyer completed his first year and below you can see the simple report that Yale sent out to the students to show their advancement to the next year.
