Lecturer in Law In his role as lecturer and reference librarian, Dr. Torzsay-Biber adds a distinctly continental flavor to the faculty potpourri. Dr. Biber-his name has taken this shortened form among the members of the law school community-was born in 1909 in Hungary. He graduated from the University of Budapest in l932, did graduate work at the University of Berlin, and received a doctorate in law from the University of Buda- pest in l934. He was a member of the Hungarian bar from 1934 to 1945. For the next five years he was employed by the United States Military Government in Austria. Dr. Biber came to the United States in 1950 and served for a year as secretary to Chief Ius- tice Arnold of the Supreme Court of Olclahomag at the same time he was a special lecturer in in- ternational law and jurisprudence at the Univer- sity of Oklahoma. From l952 until he came to Stanford in l960, he was a legal analyst with the Library of Congress. Despite the demands of his job, Dr. Biber al- ways seems to have time to help a student in dis- tress find a lost case or an elusive law review ar- ticleg and in addition to instructing first-year students in the art of legal research, he teaches a seminar in his pet subject, Roman law.
