It is a rare week that finds Bayless Manning at Stanford for seven consecutive days. Between alumni meetings, professional conferences, scouting trips to lure top-ranking faculty to the Farm, and consulting trips to Washington and New York, Dean Manning manages teaching assignments each term and the administrative tasks that confront the head of a growing and changing educational institution. Born in Bristow, Oklahoma, in 1923, Dean Manning received an A.B. in economics from Yale University in 1943. During World War II he served in the enlisted and officer ranks of the Army Signal Corps as a Japanese translator. In 1949 he received an LL.B. from Yale, where he was editor-in-chief of the Yale Law journal. He served as law clerk to Mr. Iustice Reed of the United States Supreme Court in 1949-50, practiced law with Iones, Day, Cockley 81 Reavis in Cleveland from 1950 until 1956, and taught on the Yale law faculty from 1956 until 1964. In 1962-63 he was special assistant to the Undersecretary of State and has served as a member of federal and state commissions and agencies, particularly in the fields of conflicts of interest and corporation law. Last summer he was appointed by President Johnson to the Presidential Emergency Board to investigate the dispute between American Airlines and the Transport Workers Union. He came to Stan- ford as dean in 1964. A man of many styles, the Dean can be seen speeding from meeting to meeting in his black Porsche, or quietly attacking the pesky winds of San Francisco Bay in the Windward', sloop he owns jointly with Professor Ehrlich. His Wife, Marjorie, has occupied her time since coming to Stanford with the remodeling of their old campus home and smoothing the educa- tional transition from East to West of the four Manning children, Bayless, Ir., Elizabeth, Lucia and Matthew.
