DALE S. COLLINSON Assistant Professor of Law This is Dale Co11inson's first year as a mem- ber of the Stanford law faculty, and thus far he has taught two courses in his fields of special in- terest: International Business Transactions and Federal Iurisdiction. Professor Collinson was born in Oklahoma in 1938. He ventured to Yale for undergraduate work in politics and economics, receiving an A.B. in 1960. That summer he got a first-hand look at the area of international business by taking a job with the Banque de l'Afrique Oc- cidentale in Paris. Returning from France he attended Columbia Law School where he was notes and comments editor of the Columbia Law Review. During his law school summers he had jobs in Los Angeles and New York. He received his LL.B. in 19635 during the following year he served aslaw clerk to Iudge Paul R. Hays, United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. From there he went to Wash- ington to clerk for Mr. Iustice White of the United States Supreme Court from 1964 until he came to Stanford this year. It is apparent that Mr. Collinson is adapting quickly to the outdoor California life-he re- ports that his bridge playing is getting worse, and his tennis playing is getting better. He has a bachlor apartment in Sharon Heights.

William Baxter is a native of New York City, but must be classified as a Californian by asso- ciation. He was a Stanford undergraduate and received an A.B. in 1951. When it came to the study of law, he again chose Stanford, earning an LL.B. in 1956 after serving as comment editor of the Stanford Law Review. He stayed on at the law school as an assistant professor until 1958 when he took a position with Covington 81 Bur- ling in Washington, D.C. He remained in the Capital for two years, returning to Stanford in 1960. In 1964-65 he was a visiting professor of law at Yale. No student who has encountered him need be reminded of Professor Baxter's keen mind and his thorough knowledge of the intricacies of Regulated Industries and Antitrust Law. In addi- tion to these areas of special interest, he teaches with an equal degree of competence in Admin- istrative Law, Federal Iurisdiction, and Legal Process. He acts as a legal consultant to various companies both in California and in other states, to his old law firm in Washington, and to the Federal Aviation Agency-for whom he has been conducting a special study of ways to minimize the social cost of airplane noise. The Baxters have three children-two boys, 9 and 13, and a girl ll, The children all display an interest in music, and the eldest leans toward mathematics as well. Mrs. Baxter busies herself with painting and politicsg she also gives consid- erable time to promotional efforts on behalf of the Stanford Repertory Theatre. Professor Bax- ter admits to only two hobbies: Good bridge and mediocre golff, There are few reports about the latter, but interested observers report that his bridge is very good. WILLIAM F. BAXTER Professor of Law
