Moffatt Hancock is the only law school pro- fessor to have held two named professorships at Stanford: since 1962 he has been Marion Rice Kirkwood Professor of Lawg before that he was elected by the student body as Red Hot Prof of 1961. An expert in the fields of Property, Iurisprudence, Legal History, and Conflict of Laws, he is the author of Torts in the Conflict of Laws Cl942D. He spent the academic year 1965-66 on leave under a Guggenheim Fellow- ship writing a series of law review articles in the field of Conflict of Laws and revising his contributions to the Encyclopedia Brittariica. Professor Hancock is the holder of a B.A. from the University of Toronto Cl933j, an LL.B. from the Osgoode Hall Law School Cl936j, and an S.I.D. from the University of Michigan Law School fl940D. He has taught at the University of Toronto, the Dalhousie Law School, where he was Viscount Bennett Profes- sor of Law, and the University of Southern California. He came to Stanford in 1953. Though many first-year Property students at first perceive Professor Hancock as an all too real incarnation of Satan, most eventually come to see him as he prefers to see himself-as a kindly uncle. A devoted family man, he takes great pride in seeing the development of his two children-Cathy, a 15-year old Palo Alto High School archery star, and 12-year old Graeme, a Boy Scout, trombonist, and coin-c0l- lector. From the I-lancock's home in Palo Alto, his Wife, Eileen, sallies forth to carry out her duties as Director of the Volunteer Bureau, while Professor Hancock pursues his hobby of taking prize-winning photographs of the Stan- ford campus, some of which grace the Vrooman Room and the pages of volumes I and II of the Law School yearbook.
