Three times during his term of office, Presi- dent Iohn Kennedy called on I. Keith Mann to serve on three-man Presidential Emergency Boards to investigate labor disputes affecting the national interest: in 1961 it was a contro- versy involving the Airline Pilots' Association, the Flight Engineers' International Association, and the nation's airlines, in 1962 it was auto- mation litigation between the Brotherhood of Railway Clerks and the Southern Pacific Rail- road, in 1963 the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters and the nationis railways. Following the last Emergency Board, I. Philip Randolph, President of the Brotherhood, and representa- tives of the railroads spoke to Dean Mann's La- bor Law class about the dispute and the Board recommended solution. Besides his duties as professor of law, Mr. Mann serves as associate dean of the law school with primary responsibility for implementing faculty decisions in the area of academic affairs. This year he is also Chairman of the Presiden- tial Committee on Stanford Athletics. Anyone having dealings with Dean Mann will usually find this gentle and marvelously tactful man in his office surrounded by books and huge stacks of papers on all the available tables, chairs and even the floor.
