Professor Howard Williams is the leading American Scholar in the field of oil and gas law. Author, with Professor Meyers, of the definitive seven volume treatise, Oil and Gas Law, he writes annual supplements to update the work. In addition, Professor Williams, in collaboration with Professors Maxwell and Meyers, has written the casebook, Cases on Oil and Gas, now in its second edition and currently the standard course book for law schools throughout the United States. Prodigious as is his knowledge of oil and gas law, Professor Williams is by no means limited to the specialty. Students quickly discover that he also has an encyclopedic knowledge of property, trusts and estates, and future interests. Because Howard Williams is rarely content to teach a course unless he has written the textbook for it - he jokingly admonishes his students to mark up their texts well so as to lower the resale value - he has also published two other casebooks: Cases on Property and Cases on Decedents' Estates and Trusts. A casebook on future interests is scheduled to go to the printer in January 1970. Professor Williams and his wife, Virginia, are very active in Stanford and Palo Alto community affairs. He has held what he terms the usual collection of offices in his church, the Palo Alto First Baptist, while Mrs. Williams currently serves on Palo Altols Ecumenical Board of Religious Education. Professor Williams' chief hobby, as one might suspect, is reading. He and his wife regularly consume tive newspapers per day. The Williams, son, Frederick, is a sophomore at Yale. Born in Indiana in 1915, Professor Williams received an A.B. in political science from Washington University in 1937 and an LL.B. in 1940 from Columbia University Law School, where he was an editor of the Columbia Law Review. He practiced law in New York and then served in the field artillery from 1941 to 1946. From 1946 until 1951 he was a member of the faculty of the University of Texas Law School. During this time he served both as Assistant Dean and Acting Dean of the law school. In 1951 he joined the Columbia law faculty, where he became Dwight Professor of Law in 1959. Professor Williams came to Stanford in 1963, and since last year he has been Lillick Professor of Law. HOWARD R. WILLIAMS Stella W. dt Ira S. Lillick Professor of Law
