JOHN BINGHAM HURLBUT Jackson Eli Reynolds Professor of Law Giddy,l' says Professor John Bingham Hurlburt, is the way I feel when I think of all the students I've worked with over the years. f'Giddy is what he says, but there is deep pride in this devoted teacher's eyes as he recalls the now countless students he has helped fashion in the law. Professor Hurlbut earned an A.B. in political science in 1928 from the University of Southern California, an M.A. in political science in 1929 from Stanford, and an LL.B. in 1934 from Stanford. He and Professor Vernier were the co-authors of American Family Law, Volume IIL He practiced law in Los Angeles from 1934 until 1937 and then he returned to Stanford. In 1960-61 he was Fulbright Lecturer in Law at the University of Tokyo and at the Japanese Supreme Court's Legal Training and Research Institute. His teaching career was interrupted for three years by the United States Navy during World War II. Active as the faculty's representative to the Pacific Conference, Mr. Hurlbut has also served as Vice President of the N.C.A.A. A rugged sportsman himself, Mr. Hurlbut has fished the game waters of California, Alaska and British Columbia many times. It seems only natural, then, that this man of action looks for something more in his students than technical competence. He notes that a capacity for human insight is as important as any other quality for a practicing lawyer who is called upon to sort out the confusion of people's affairs. Next year's Stanford class will, like so many in the past, be enriched by Professor Hurlbut's teaching craft. But first, says John Bingham Hurlbut, Fd like to take that shee fish up in the Alaskan Arctic. No doubt, he will.
