Let M be an R-module of finite length. For a simple R-module A, let ℓA denote the nuber of times the isomorphism type of A appears in a composition chain of M, and let σ denote the maxinium of the ℓA, A ranging over all simple submodules of M. Let S be the endomorphism ring of M. We show that the Loewy length of S is bounded by σ.
