BAYLESS A. MANNING Dean and Professor of Law A small town product, Dean Bayless Manning prefers verbs to adjectives in both speech and ideas. He is brisk, lithe and effective, which explains, no doubt, why is no longer in that small town. Born in Bristow, Oklahoma, Dean Manning took an economics degree at Yale at the age of twenty. He translated Japanese for the Signal Corps during World War II. After the war. Dean Manning edited the Yale Law Journal and then clerked for Mr. Justice Reed. As a result of a telephone call, he says, Dean Manning left a six year Cleveland law practice in 1956 to teach at Yale Law School where he could get involved in municipal problems. After a stint as George Bal1's assistant at the State Department, he took on the Deanship at Stanford in 1964. Before that Dean Manning had only glimpsed California. A mover behind the newly formed Urban Institute, a Rand-like think tank for the social sciences, Dean Manning seeks to foster social change with the same drive he brings to experimentation in legal education. Dean Manning often speaks of lawyers as the last of the generalists --part philosopher, part manager--who shape institutions and programs to answer emerging needs. He is speakingof himself.

THOMAS E. HEADRICK A ssistant Dean As special assistant to Dean Manning for a whole range of projects - one of which is the advance planning for the new law school - Thomas Headrick characterizes his duties as anything once, nothing twice. Hidden away in a tiny office in the old business school so that nothing of the routine and ordinary will interrupt his concentration on special projects, Dean Headrick qualifies easily as Stanford's candidate for the Mission Impossible team, and this conclusion seems to be well substantiated by his background. Valedictorian of the class of 1955 at Franklin and Marshall Colle ,-5EMir1Headrick majored in government and was an All-American nominee in soccer. He spent two years at Oxford as a Fulbright Scholar, receiving a B.Litt. in 1958. He returned to Yale where he earned an LL.B. in 1960. While at Yale he spent a summer as research assistant to then-Professor Bayless Manning. He was clerk to Judge Foster of the Supreme Court of Washington from 1960 until 1961, and then he practiced law with the San Francisco firm of Pillsbury, Madison and Sutro from 1961 until 1964.
